BEGINNING, MONDAY, JUNE 6
Chicago Cubs at Philadelphia (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Cubs swept a three game set at Wrigley Field earlier (+$300) and their top rated pitching staff (2.65 ERA) should make short work of a Philadelphia team that averages just 3.2 runs per game at the plate. The Phillies have lost 7 of their last 9 (-$605) and will be lucky to pull out a single win. PREFERRED: Cubs in all games.
N.Y. Mets at Pittsburgh (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Bucs have averaged more than a full run per game than the Mets on offense, and their rotation is heavy with lefthanders. That’s bad news for a New York squad that averages just 2.7 runs per game vs. southpaws. PREFERRED: Lefthanders vs. the Mets.
Atlanta at San Diego (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Braves are actually profitable outside of Turner Field (+$270) and they have a promising pitcher in Matt Wisler (3.13 ERA in nine starts), who’s expected to see action at Petco Park. San Diego is only 13-24 vs. righties (-$530), averaging just 3.2 runs per game in those contests. PREFERRED: Wisler.
Colorado at L.A. Dodgers (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Rockies are 5-2 on the road vs. lefthanders this year (+$585) and they’ve averaged 5.1 runs vs. southpaws overall. The Dodgers are heavy with lefthanders, and they’ve dropped a bundle here at home (-$630). Avoid Clayton Kershaw, but go against rest of the LA lefties. PREFERRED: Rockies vs. all lefthanders except Kershaw.
L.A. Angels at N.Y. Yankees (4) 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th
The Angels are in the red vs. lefties (-$380), averaging just 3.1 runs per game in that situation. They’ll have their hands full with C.C. Sabathia, who has been flashing the best form we’ve seen from him in years (2.83 ERA in his first 7 starts this year). LA’s pitching is in disarray at the moment. PREFERRED: Sabathia.
Kansas City at Baltimore (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Royals are back on top in the AL Central (7-2, +$595 last 10 days) but they are only 11-15 outside of Kaufman Stadium (-$315) and they are facing a Baltimore team that has dominated the competition here at Camden Yards, particularly vs. righthanders (+$995). Tough spot for the visitor, as they look to capture the division once again in 2016. PREFERRED: Orioles vs. righthanders.
Toronto at Detroit (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Blue Jays have had an excellent run in recent days (7-3, +$320 last 10) and they’ve gotten terrific work from RA Happ in his 10 starts so far (3.20 ERA). The Tigers rank 3rd worst in the AL In team ERA (4.47) and they’ve averaged just 3.2 runs per game vs. southpaws (-$520). PREFERRED: Happ.
Houston at Texas (4) 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th
The last place Astros are winless vs. Texas after six head to head meetings (-$880) and they are a pitiful 9-16 outside of Minute Maid Park this year (-$870). The Rangers have a stellar record here at Arlington (18-9, +$1035) so the visitor will be fortunate to salvage a win in this four game set. PREFERRED: Rangers in all games
.
Cleveland at Seattle (4) 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th
The Mariners have emerged as strong contenders in the AL West, but they’ve been a losing proposition here at Safeco Field, posting a disappointing 10-14 mark so far (-$1075). The Indians have made up considerable ground in their division, dominating the competition in night games (+$705). We should catch some nice underdog prices on the visitor. PREFERRED: Indians in all games.
Tampa Bay at Arizona (3) 6th, 7th, 8th
The Rays are fading fast in the AL East (3-7, -$565 last 10 days) but the pitching is decent (3.94 team ERA) and they’ve averaged a healthy 5.4 runs per game vs. lefthanders so far in 2016. Arizona’s southpaws have been losing (Patrick Corbin -$260, Robbie Ray -$470) and the Diamondbacks have hemorrhaged money here at Chase Field (-$1330). PREFERRED: Rays vs. lefthanders.
BEGINNING, TUESDAY, JUNE 7
St. Louis at Cincinnati (3) 7th, 8th, 9th
Pitching has been an issue for the Cardinals so far, but Jaime Garcia has a 3.47 ERA after 10 starts, and the Reds have averaged just 3.3 runs per game vs. lefthanders. St. Louis has a dominant offense (5.5 runs per game so far) and should generate plenty of support for their lone lefty starter. PREFERRED: J. Garcia.
Oakland at Milwaukee (2) 7th, 8th
The Brewers are 6-4 in their last 10 games (+$280) and their all-righty rotation should do well against a weak Oakland team that averages just 3.7 runs per game vs. righties (-$685). The A’s have lost 7 of their last 10 (-$435) so a sweep of this two game set by Milwaukee is not unlikely. PREFERRED: Brewers in both games.
Washington at Chicago W. Sox (3) 7th, 8th, 9th
The Nats are 5-0 vs. lefthanders on the road (+$535) and the White Sox are imploding (3-8, -$710 in their last 11). Washington will see plenty of lefties at US Cellular, and their rotation should shut down the fading Chicago attack. PREFERRED: Nationals vs. lefthanders.
Miami at Minnesota (3) 7th, 8th, 9th
The Twins are only 12-29 vs. righthanders so far (-$1505) and Miami’s pitching has been better than expected (3.95 team ERA). Minnesota has fared poorly in inter-league play (2-5, -$370) so stick with the road team. PREFERRED: Righthanders vs. the Twins.
Boston at San Francisco (2) 7th, 8th
The surging Red Sox are a profitable road team (+$195) and they’ve cleaned up in night games in all settings (+$785). San Francisco averages a full run less per game on offense, so take the visitor in both games. A split should generate a modest profit for the visitor. PREFERRED: Red Sox in both games.
