4* (915/916) NEW YORK/Baltimore OVER the total

Held back on this move yesterday because of our contacts in Grab Town estimating the game would be PPD.  As of this morning both Cashner and Gray will start for the Orioles and Yankees.  Each hurler has issued inconsistent sets the first-half of the season.  Although Baltimore is averaging just 3.73 rpg., and rated #29....they are far too forgiving on the mound as a team surrendering 4.89 rpg (#29).  The Yankees are #1 in runs scored (5.69) and #29 in runs allowed 3.73 per game.  The series has shot OVER 23-of-26 with 5 straight games HIGH down in Baltimore.  Good Luck.

1:10 Eastern

(951/952) 4* Washington/Miami UNDER the total

The Nationals won yesterday 4-1 in this building behind hurler Roark. The two games in the series have split out on the total board.  Washington (28-22) faces the Marlins (19-32) who have struggled this season. The Nats use veteran right-hander Strasburg (5-4, 3.36) who has overall performed well this season, considering his pitch count has increased the last few games. Miami brings young flashy bulldog Hernandez (2.08) to the hill and he has been effective in the early starts.  The Marlins 6-1 UNDER off a loss and 4-1 UNDER L5.  In addition, Miami chases down a solid 4-1 UNDER record vs. the NLE. Washington counters with a 37-18-6 UNDER mark on the road, 5-1 UNDER vs. the NLE.  Also, the Nationals have a 4-1 UNDER stat sheet L5 vs.

5* (905/906) LAA/Toronto OVER the total

MLB TOTAL OF THE DAY...BDS

The Angels will send right-hander Tropeano (1-3, 4.45 ERA) to the mound on Thursday as they close out their three-game series against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Tropeano will be opposed by right-hander Estrada (2-4, 5.15). Angels survived last night 5-4 even Trout still in a slump (.115 BA L10).  The visiting LA unit is ranked #10 in offense and #10 in scoring (4.62 runs per game.  Toronto uses Estrada (2-3, 4.04) who has allowed 4 runs or more in 5 of 9 outings.   He did throw well last time but, has been inconsistent in his career during May.  The Jays are averaging 4.76 runs per game.  LAA is ranked 10th in offense and 10th in scoring (4.63).  Toronto's pitching has been off this season bringing a #24 rating overall.  They have a 4.56 ERA. With the Angels scoring 4 in the 9th yesterday look for a major turnaround in hitting here, and uptick stick performance by Trout of LAA.  Go OVER this afternoon.  Good Luck.

9:05 EASTERN

(975/976) 5* TAMPA BAY/LA ANGELS UNDER the total

Saturday night the Rays go at the Angels in the second game of a weekend series.  For Tampa Bay they start reliever Romo who is 35-years of age.  He has thrown 6-2/3 innings of work allowing 3 earned runs and carrying a 4.05 ERA.  He has a lifetime 0.99 WHIP coming into action.  The Rays are 5-1 in his last 6 out of the pen.  Romo will pitch 1-2 innings and then will be relieved by RHP Yarbrough (3-2, 3.93) who has etched 34.1 innings of work with 15 earned runs (31 SO, 13 BB).  The home standing Angels who have won 5-of-6 games bring lefty Heaney (2-2, 3.93) who has generated only 5 earned runs in 25 innings, accruing a smothering 1.0 earned runs per outing.  In the series these two have shot UNDER at a 11-3-2 pace. Tampa Bay starts with a 3-1-1 UNDER mark vs. LHP and a monster 21-7-1 UNDER record in game #3 of a series.  LA is 3-0-1 UNDER home vs. winning road unit and 4-1-1 UNDER with Heaney off a quality start.  To close, we’ll suggest the UNDER here as umpire Fletcher is 5-0 UNDER home with the Angels.  Good Luck.

10-0 PERFECT RUN IN MLB ACTION....$$$$

2:15 Eastern

(957/958) 4* PHILLIES/St. Louis UNDER the total

The Phillies came up with a 12-4 loss last night to the Cardinals allowing 8 runs out of the bullpen with the defense surrendering 2 errors.  As catcher Alfaro may miss today after a sore knee was developed last night.  Still we look for a lower scoring game here especially, since the line movement up.  Hurler Eflin has gone 12-2/3 innings 7 hits allowed and one earned run with 13 SO and just 3 walks this season.  In the two starts this season Eflin is 1-0 with 0.71 ERA (0.79 WHIP).  Overall has renewed confidence and is projecting out to have a solid effort this afternoon.  RHP Gant (1-1, 4.15 ERA) of St. Louis who actually pitched at Memphis contributing 4-0 record with a nice 2.40 ERA gets the call with a spot start.   The reliever is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP.  St. Louis shows with a monster 19-6-2 UNDER in game #3 of a series and 12-3-1 UNDER at home versus a unit with

7:10 Eastern

969/970…5* Baltimore/Boston UNDER the total

Orioles (13-29) travel up to Boston after a home game versus the Phillies.  They use RHP Gausman (3-2, 3.18) who has allowed two runs or less in last 9 starts.   With Gausman the O’s UNDER 4-1 road outings versus Boston and 8-1-2 UNDER overall when playing the Red Sox.  Overall the Sox are a perfect 4-0 UNDER vs. ALE.  Baltimore comes in 6-2 UNDER with Gausman pitching against a losing unit and 39-15-2 UNDER vs. the AL East.  Dave Price (3-4, 4.89) struggled early on but, illustrates a lifetime ERA of 3.26.  Price recently against Texas and TB was hit hard, however, the veteran rebounded with 5-1/3 innings surrendering 5 hits and 2 earned runs.  Go UNDER tonight with the Sox/Orioles.  Good Luck.

7:10 Eastern

4* (953/954) LA/Miami UNDER the total

The Dodgers (16-24) and Marlins (14-26) go to battle this evening down in Miami. This season the two have played three times with total going UNDER 2-of-3.  In overall series the number has gone UNDER 7-of-8 down in Florida.  LA comes in a little better shape than Miami but, not by much.  The will use lefty Wood (0-3, 3.60) has gone through some innings, however, he does hold the opposition to a .219 BA.  From the trending standpoint, LA is 7-3 UNDER L10 on the board.  Also, they show 10-3-1 UNDER vs. LHP. In concluding, current road numbers of 4-1 UNDER vs.

5* (Baltimore/Detroit) UNDER 9-1/2 @ 1:10 Eastern

Wednesday afternoon in Detroit the Orioles (5-12) look to end their four-game losing streak including a 4-2 decision yesterday to struggling Detroit (5-9).  What has happened to the Orioles over the last four years is a disgrace as far as their fan base has echoed.  Here it's lefty Boyd for Detroit against RHP Gausman of Baltimore.  In Boyd's two starts this season against Cleveland and Kansas City losing by a combined score of 3-1 obviously low scoring games with the lefty coming away with 2 losses (0-2).  Gausman seems to be on the improve after throwing a solid 6 innings last time out against hard-hitting Toronto, allowing 6 hits and 3 runs.  Gausman fostered his best SO performance with 7 on the day.

From the technical standpoint, Detroit is 5-0 UNDER game #2 of a series, 6-1 UNDER vs. RHP.  The Orioles bring an amazing 28-7-2 UNDER after scoring two or fewer runs.  In addition, because of their offensive fall out over the last few years, they bring a 12-3 UNDER record when following a loss.  Remember too, Baltimore is 58-89 on the road since 2015 which is an indicator of less than productive scoring away. Stay UNDER this afternoon.  Good Luck.

10* COLORADO/WASHINGTON OVER the total

MLB TOP PLAY TOTAL...BDS

Not excited about the baseball card today but, we have found a TP gem inside the numbers. Colorado travels to Washington in what should be a high scoring game. The series has shot OVER 8-of-11 and 4-1 with lefty Gonzalez on the hill.  More important, the Rockies are 4-0 OVER game #1 of a series and 6-2-1 OVER in road sets.  Good Luck.

4* Baltimore/Toronto OVER the total

Considering the differential in the these two there has not been an OVER yet in the series?  I smell a high scoring game here despite the numbers for Estrada.  Gausman (8.00) of the Birds has been struggling this season.  Baltimore is overdue to break out in a hit parade with their current TBA of .185 against RHP.  This plays into their horrid 20+ men LOB thus far.  On the other hand, Toronto has shot OVER 8-of-11 on the road and 8-1 OVER after scoring two runs or less.  Baltimore comes 6-1-1 OVER allowing two runs or less in their less game.  Also, with umpire Wolcott, the Jays are 8-3 OVER.  Good Luck.

1:05 PM Eastern(965/966) 3* Baltimore/New York Under the total
Considering the Yankees injuries and the Orioles 0-6 in Saturday calls, this should end up being a lower scoring game than the experts think.  With RHP Tillman on the hill, Baltimore comes in 12-3 UNDER on the road and overall 8-1 L9 UNDER vs. RHP. The O's have been consistently UNDER of late 10-2 L12.  In contrast, the Yankees bring a 16-5-1 UNDER mark in Saturday editions. With umpire Jerry Meals the total has shot UNDER in 8 straight games.  Good Luck.

5* (967/968) Tampa Bay/Boston UNDER the total @ 1:05 Eastern

Boston 6-1, Tampa Bay 1-6 to start the season. RHP Porcello who has looked solid in the spring shows with a 13-8 record with an ERA of 3.20 versus the Rays.  Last Saturday Porcello went 5-1/3 innings allowing one run at Tampa Bay. The Sox with Porcello on the hill show 4-0 UNDER vs. the American League East and overall 5-1 L6 UNDER.  Against teams with under a

4* (911/912) Baltimore/New York OVER the total

The Yankees bring a 4-3 record, Baltimore starting very slow with a 2-5 mark. As far as the starters, both Gausman of Baltimore and Sabathia of New York have some rough numbers to contend with if you’re looking at the SU side.  So, we’ll go after the total which should be looking high tonight with Baltimore winning last time out.  RHP Gausman of the O’s was nailed in 2017 by New York allowing 12 runs, 16 hits at Yankee Stadium.  Opposing lefty Sabathia surrendered 15 runs, 23 hits in seventeen innings last year challenging the Baltimore. In addition, this season the Orioles staff has a 4.94 ERA. The series has gone OVER in 5 straight, 14-3 OVER in New York.  Good Luck and thank you.  Good Luck.  

090607

(981/982) 5* Texas (Gonzalez)/Atlanta (Gohara) UNDER the total @ 1:35

The Braves bring 20-year old lefty Luiz Gohara from the minors to pitch in game one of this Wednesday doubleheader after the Tuesday game was rained out.  In game #2 tonight, Hamels of Texas will face the Braves Teheran.  Here, I look for Lefty Gohara to have a successful outing, maybe just 6 innings but, the youngster has the goods to surprise the hot bats of Texas who defeated the Braves 8-2 on Monday.  Gohara has roughly a 3.00 ERA in the minors this season moving around with a number of affiliates.  He has a strikeout type personality and will challenge the hitters.  The Rangers will use restructured hurler Miguel Gonzalez (7-10) who has formulated a 1.85 ERA L5 starts (34 innings, 7 earned runs).  Granted recently Texas has been successful in the series but, seemingly don’t fare well in game #1 of a doubleheader.  We are projecting a lower scoring than the projected total of nine.  Good Luck.

Remember we CASHED a 4-1 ticket on Tuesday #4 overall.

(917/918) Toronto/Boston UNDER 10

Realize this looks like hits galore but, I believe there will be a drop-off for each offense here.  The series has gone UNDER 12-3 in Boston.  In addition, the Sox are 5-0 UNDER with lefty Rodriguiez against Toronto and 6-0 UNDER at home L6.  The Blue Jays show 4-0 UNDER off a win and a huge 42-18-5 UNDER vs. LHP.  With Estrada the Red Sox are 6-2 UNDER and 10-1 UNDER in game #2 of a series.  Good Luck.

Phillies/Miami UNDER 7-1/2

RHP Nola just threw a gem against Atlanta allowing just one earned run and 5 hits in seven innings of work.  He sets up in a revenge situation after losing to RHP Straily in Philly on 8/22.  Further, in this year's initial start of the month, he has a consistency that's uncanny.  Over 34 innings of work Nola has allowed only 6 runs.  The Phillies with Nola are 6-2-1 UNDER after a Nola quality start.  Philadelphia is 12-3-4 UNDER in game #3 of a series.  Miami compliments our case with 4 straight UNDERS at home, 6-0 UNDER vs. RHP.  Should be another low scoring game in Miami.

(931/932) Cleveland/Detroit Under 8-1/2

Cleveland off a brutal but, successful three game sweep of the Yankees, now winners of 7 straight. It's Carrasco versus lefty Boyd seemingly to the public should be a one-sided affair.  Instead of paying the heavy chalk money here, we go for the total score. Granted lefty Boyd has struggled at home this season with a 2-6 (6.39) mark, he did pitch well, however, earlier this season against the hated Indians.  So, we are projecting the hurler is catching the Indians in a flat spot after the Yankees war.  Remember this is another early start which should support Boyd's pitching arsenal if, he just keeps the ball down.  The Tigers regressive hitting numbers have them going UNDER in 6 straight and 5 in a row versus RHP.   RHP Carrasco has been successful with the offensive support against Detroit winning 9-of-10 games.   Still, Cleveland has shot UNDER to 20-8 versus lefties, and 4-1 UNDER L5 against the Tigers.  Good Luck.

4* Oakland/Houston OVER 9-1/2

Series has been going UNDER of late but, we see a productive offensive outing for each unit Sunday.  Remember, the A's use RHP Cottom (5-10, 5.92) who has allowed 24 earned runs in 25-2/3 innings of work, surrendering 6 home runs.  Oakland comes 4-1 OVER in game #3 of a series 4-1 OVER in Sunday calls.  In addition, with Cotton coming with 5 days rest the A's have shot OVER with 4-0-2 mark.  Houston brings RHP Peacock (7-1, 3.73) who has a 3-1 record at home 4.20 ERA.  In the last 16-2/3 innings he has given up 12 runs.  Overall the series has gone OVER 5-2.  Houston behind Peacock 7-0 OVER and 9-1 OVER after allowing 2 runs or less.  Good Luck. 

4* STL/Pittsburgh OVER 9

Considering systems and historical facts, we ask why this number is not 10?  Still, we'll back the OVER consider Pittsburgh lost 11-10 last night and is 6-1 OVER on grass.  STL comes 9-0 OVER off a win and a PERFECT 5-0 OVER with Wacha against the Pirates.  Good Luck.

4* LAD/Detroit OVER 10 @ 7:10 Eastern

Not often do we use the Dodgers in an OVER situation because of their stellar pitching staff.  However, when the total hits double-digits in Vegas it's time consider the high road.  The Dodgers have shot OVER in 5 straight this season when the number is 10 or higher.  In addition, LA is 4-1 OVER against the ALC and 4-1 OVER in IL road games.   Detroit has been a fairly consistent OVER (65-49-6) this season considering their talent level and pitching woes.  Here they use RHP Zimmerman (5.46) who actually throws better at home, however, the Tigers have gone OVER 13-3-1 with the hurler in Detroit.   Further, the Tigers are on a STRONG OVER run at home...6-0.  Good Luck.

5* NYY/Boston UNDER 9-1/2

This should be a wild tightly contested series this weekend up in Boston.  In game #1 with lefties Montgomery and Pomeranz going look for a classic give and take battle.  In the series, the total has gone UNDER 5-1-1 in Boston.  The Red Sox are 4-1 UNDER at home vs. LHP and 20-7 UNDER at home vs. a losing road unit.  New York with Montgomery have driven UNDER 5 straight on grass. In closing, the visiting Yankees come UNDER 8-1-1 on the road vs. winning teams.  Good Luck.

4* (963/964) San Diego/San Francisco UNDER 7-1/2 or higher

The Padres came from back yesterday scoring 2 in the B9th to win 5-3 over SF, going OVER. Here must respect the overall pitching battle...Smars vs. Cahill projecting a lower scoring encounter. The Padres show 4-1 UNDER off a win and 3-0-1 UNDER with Cahill.  At home Cahill is 3-0 (0.49) with a 0.71 WHIP this season, carrying a lifetime 6-5, 3.81 ERA mark vs. the Giants.  He has not faced SF this season. The Giants come in 4-1 L5 UNDER on the road vs. RHP.  With Smars they bring an impeccable 6-0 UNDER L6 in game #3 of a series.  With the hurler, SF is 9-1-1 UNDER vs. a losing club.  Smars L2 road tilts have been decent...13 IP, 12 H and 5 runs allowed.  Back in April, he threw 7 innings allowing 4 hits and 2 earned runs against SD.

4* (923/924) KC/Texas UNDER 9

The reason the line is so HIGH is the fact that the Rangers in most cases generate run support for lefty Hamels.  For Kansas City, the last four outings carved out by lefty Duffy (5-5, 3.76) have been on the ROAD. Our case for the UNDER is fostered inside the OVERALL series numbers showing the 32-15-5 and 22-7-3 in KC.  Difficult to go against!  Especially, considering Texas is 4-0-1 UNDER L5 times out.  The Royals using Duffy have an excellent situation for a low scoring game.  Remember, the last four out the hurler was a "ROAD" call, now Duffy is finally at home where KC is 5-0 UNDER L5 with the lefty.  Duffy's most recent mound test was at LA. With all factors considered must press the UNDER.  Good Luck.

4* STL/Pittsburgh UNDER 8

The series has gone UNDER 8-3-1 L12, while the Pirates have been under with RHP Taillon on the hill.  STL is 4-0 UNDER game #2 of a series.  Pittsburgh adds the edge with an 8-1 UNDER record at home L9.  Umpire Hudson calling the game has shot UNDER with the home unit 4 straight...UNDER.

4* (964) Toronto/Baltimore OVER the total @ 7:05

MLB Key Total Angle…BDS

Orioles use lefty Miley (3-5, 4.48 ERA) tonight trying to extend Baltimore’s three-game winning streak.  He is less than worthy on road, however, with a 1-2 record and a 5+ ERA.  Miley has a high walk percentage which should help the Jays attack.  Also, he brings a .348 OBA last two seasons. Baltimore shows 7-1 OVER on the road vs. RHP and 9-2 OVER in Miley’s L11 road starts.  Finally, Baltimore has been outscored by 63 runs this season, not good! Toronto brings ace RHP Stroman (7-4, 3.69) to the hill.  In his last outing (road) he was nailed by the Rangers for 7 earned runs in 4 innings of work, including three home runs (6 last two starts).  He will gladly throw at home tonight where he has started 8 games with 7 quality starts and a 2-3 (3.29) mark. The Blue Jays have shot OVER 5 straight versus an opponent that allowed their offense 2 or fewer runs in the last test.   Further, Toronto comes in a super 7-1 OVER in Wednesday calls.  Our key concern here is Stroman allowing the home run ball of late and having to face the hot Orioles.  Granted the series has been a fairly consistent UNDER the last few years but, the situation seems ripe for the HIGH CALL.  Good Luck.

062817

Play on:  4* (975/976) Phillies/Seattle UNDER the total

MLB Key Day Time Total Alert

The Phillies took game #1 of this series at Seattle with RHP Nola throwing a gem last night.  Here difficult to assess the mental and physical issues for the Mariners as they are physically banged up both in the pitching staff and of course their lineup.  Therefore, they can’t accrue any consistency on the field and have been a huge disappointment to their fan base.  This afternoon Felix Hernandez (3-2, 4.68) hits the bump in his second start after returning from the DL.  He threw 6 innings allowing 8 hits and 3 runs with 6 strikeouts against Houston back on June 8th. Philadelphia uses young RHP Leiter (1-0, 0.00) who threw gem in his initial major league start at Arizona, carving out 6 innings and 3 hits with no runs allowed and 5 strikeouts…The Phillies could not ask for more!  From the total perspective, the Phillies have shot UNDER 5-1-1 on the road vs. RHP and 11-of-16 UNDER overall.  Seattle has gone UNDER 7-3-1 vs. RHP and 7-1 UNDER after their opponent allows 2 or less runs in their last game.  The series is 6-1 UNDER at Seattle.  In closing, Hernandez should be more skilled in his second start back from the DL, while the Mariners have never faced Phillies super rookie RHP Mark Leiter.  Feel Philadelphia has a chance to steal one here but, prefer to play the UNDER with all facts considered.  Good Luck, and thank you.

4* (909/910) Atlanta/San Diego UNDER the total

MLB KEY TOTAL CALL...BDS

Liked this better at 8 than the recent movement this morning to 7-1/2 in some stores.  We catching some needed value and added insurance at the present value.  Remember these two mediocre clubs are 40-32-3 OVER (Atlanta) and 39-33-4 OVER (San Diego) this season which somewhat of a surprise considering their early season projections.  Atlanta starts savvy RHP Chacin who was roughed up early in the season.  Fortunately, for the Padres he has shut down the opposition recently surrendering only 9 earned runs in 26 innings.  Highly regarded Atlanta rookie lefty Newcomb (0-2, 1.96) has a super 1.037 WHIP in three home starts versus SF, Miami and the Mets. This will be his first start on the road.  Despite the rookie hurler, overall we believe the recent OVER trend in the series will be reversed.  Remember, San Diego has had problems lately against LHP with a 2-9 mark.  They are 5-2 UNDER the L7 and 3-0-1 UNDER against the National League East. And, they have averaged just 3 runs a game against LHP.  Opposing Atlanta brings a 5-1-2 UNDER record the L8 games and 9-2 UNDER against a losing club.   

5* (923/924) Oakland/Chicago OVER the total @ 2:10

MLB TOTAL BEST BET...BDS

Totals 31-16 in baseball and on fire.  Just missed yesterday but, look to rebound with this super edged pack of stats and trends.  Oakland and Chicago are currently exhibiting changes, the A's had a lift yesterday at the plate from young studs, while the Sox suffered at the plate going 0-5 with runners in scoring position.  Today, Oakland uses RHP Gray who may be sent down or traded based on recent rumors.  He is 2-3 with a 4.84 ERA this season.   He has had 4 days of rest which is a good sign for HIGH players....15-5-1 OVER, while the A's  are 5-0-1 OVER on the road with Gray. The Sox look to shake their hitting woes and the 1-5 slump with inconsistent lefty Holland (5-7, 4.95).  He is 1-2 with a 9.45 ERA in the last 13-1/3 innings.  With Holland CWS show 9-2-1 OVER L12 starts and 6-0-1 OVER after a team loss.   Chicago overall in Sunday editions 5-1 OVER L6.  With umpire Holbrooks in Sunday home games (CWS) the total has shot OVER 33-15-3. Also, as an additional note, we expect the Sox to bounce back considering the A's are 0-6 vs. losing units on Sunday.  Also, realize this has been an UNDER series, for the most part, however, these two combatants seem to look for a way to lose.  Sunday morning, the total is at 10 but, would expect a 10-1/2 close.  Good Luck, and thank you.

4* LAA/Boston OVER the total

Saved some value with the number moving down to 9-1/2 similar to the Orioles and Rays Friday.  The last 3-of-4 games both Boston and Los Angeles have gone OVER the total.  The Red Sox have scored 23 runs in the four games, while the Angles have knocked in 26.   Los Angeles comes in a solid 5-0-1 OVER L6 and 5-0 OVER against a .500 plus unit.  On the road, they show a super 5-0 OVER challenging a home unit with a winning mark of over .600.  The Red Sox have gone OVER 4-1 L5 and 4-1 OVER L5 on Saturday with lefty Price.  In addition, Boston is 6-2-1 OVER with Price coming off 5 days of rest.  Friday the units totaled 13 runs which is a good indicator this summer night will be complete with runs galore.  Good Luck.

4* Mets/Giants OVER the total

MLB KEY TOTAL...BDS

Two losing entities take the field tonight in Frisco, the Mets and Giants.   However, the series recently has tipped OVER the total with a 7-2-2 record.  NY is 9-1 OVER L10 after going high four straight versus the Dodgers.  San Francisco comes in 7-3-1 OVER L11 and 12-3-2 OVER vs. units with under a  .400 mark.  RHP Lugo of NY is 5-0 OVER off a team loss.  SF with hurler Blach is 3-0-3 OVER L6.  With the Giants 4-1 OVER in game one of the series go OVER tonight.  Good Luck..

4* (917/918) Baltimore/Tampa Bay OVER the total

MLB Key Total Angle…BDS

Cashed another total winner yesterday with Houston OVER, we are now on a long-term 29-14 run inside the math card.  Today we line up with the Orioles and Rays down in Florida.  It’s Jimenez (2-2, 6.25) for Baltimore and Archer (5-4, 3.75) for Tampa Bay in the first game of the weekend series.  Both units have been OVER this season with Baltimore 38-31-2 and the Rays 45-29-2.   The Orioles start RHP Jimenez who pitched in relief during early June before his last outing in Camden Yards against St. Louis where he started and threw seven innings surrendering four hits and two runs, two home runs.  Jimenez is 2-0-1 OVER L3 against Tampa Bay and 6-2 OVER this season. The Orioles come in 14-3 OVER with four days of rest with Jimenez and 16-5-1 OVER in game #1 of a series.  Tampa Bay is 7-5 OVER this season with Archer but, a super 5-2 OVER with the hurler in game #1 of a series. Critical, the Rays have been money in the bank at home going a PERFECT 8-0 OVER L8 and 8-0 OVER against a losing road unit carrying under a .400 mark.  Good Luck.

4* (903/904) Cubs/Miami OVER the total

MLB KEY TOTAL ALERT...BDS

Smashed another winning total yesterday with Houston OVER.  Our Friday call has Chicago visiting Miami for a weekend series.  One of the keys for us RHP Urena of Miami shows 0-9 off a quality start which is a solid indicator the Cubs will score some runs here.  The Marlins come in 7-0 OVER in game #2 of a series and 4-0 OVER in Miami.  With Urena the Fish show 4-1-1 L6.  In contrast, the Cubs are a super 10-2 OVER against the NL East and 7-0-1 OVER L8 versus an opponent who scored five plus runs in their last game.  Good Luck

4* (967/968) Houston/Oakland OVER the total @ 3:35

In their battle yesterday Houston and Oakland left 32 men on base, total players were stressed for sure.  Here despite some conflicting numbers, feel the high is coming into play.   RHP Paulino of Houston is 1-0 with a 5.03 ERA.  Oakland brings lefty Hahn (3-4, 3.56) who has allowed three earned runs or less in ten of eleven outings.  However, he does not pitch that well off four days rest with 0-5 in those starts.  Oakland has shot OVER 19-6-1 after scoring two runs or runs in their prior outing and 20-5-2 OVER off a loss.  The A’s are 5-1 OVER with Hahn versus a >.500 club and 40-29-2 OVER this season.  Houston appears to be on an uptick from the hitting standpoint.  The Astros are OVER 4-1 L5 starts with Paulino.  In addition, Houston is 7-2-1 OVER after their opponent scores two or less runs at 9-3-3 OVER off a win.  In the series Houston has won nine straight at Oakland and this season is averaging a massive 6.6 runs a game in day action.  Good Luck.
