Friday, the Minnesota Twins find themselves in a road series in Toronto. Off of consecutive losses to the White Sox, the Twins will need to muster some balance in one of the toughest road environments. To do so they’ll rely on veteran Bartolo Colon. While Colon has a whopping whip of 1.64 he is doing just enough to offset his early season rust. Grab the value here on the Twins.

Rangers pitcher Martin Perez has been functional in terms of wins with three consecutive. Yet, he has not been sharp including his last start in which he surrendered six runs against the White Sox. Thursday they’ll look to end their first of three road series on a positive note against the Angels. Grab the road value here on Texas.

Wednesday the Astros struggled to muster runs off of well traveled veteran Edwin Jackson. That is a key carry over into Thursday’s money line as the Astros face 10-4 ace Stephen Strasburg.  Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel was sharp in his last start against the As, shaking off rust from a stint on the DL. Grab Houston here on a great number.

Tuesday the Braves pitching staff surrendered just five hits to defeat the Mariners 4-0. The outing presented the obvious that road fatigue could be setting in for the Mariners. Wednesday marks their sixth straight road game as they embark on a total of twelve. Look for veteran Erasamo Ramirez and the Mariners bats to showcase that the oddmakers are correct tabbing them as slight favorites.

The standout Monday is view is how Cole Hamels is such a steep underdog. He boasts a 10-1 record and familiarity of two matchups against the Angels this year. The short answer is Hamels has used his crafty veteran ability to get out of tough jams/situations. Yet look for the Angels to pull through a third time against Hamels. The price is right on a move for the Angels Monday.

Sunday, the reverse angle of Saturday is in line for the Mariners and Rays. Saturday backers of Seattle were able to reap an underdog payout based on the young Ariel Miranda facing struggling veteran Jake Odorizzi. It’s reverse Sunday as the veteran Yovanni Gallardo of the Mariners is opposed the Rays youngster Blake Snell. Compounding matters is the fact that the Rays have lost eight of nine. The only pitcher to garner a win during that stretch was Snell. Look for Snell to get his second consecutive victory on Sunday.  

The Astros are heavy home favorites Saturday with Colin McHugh on the mound. McHugh has battled injuries to return to the starting rotation with an 0-2 record and a 4.88 ERA. Certainly not worthy numbers for a high favorite against a capable pitcher in Kendall Graveman. But seek the value as the Astros solidify their home dominance against the abysmal As 19-38 road record.

Friday, the Diamondbacks travel to Minnesota to embark on a three-game weekend road series. An impressive shutout 4-0 win Thursday against the Astros was done so without use of the bullpen. That’s a prime factor against a Twins team that played in a home double-header Thursday against the Indians. Grab the Diamondbacks here. 

It’s always tough facing a former team, and even tougher as a borderline starter. Mariners pitcher Erasamo Ramirez will take on the challenge Friday as he squares off against the Rays.  Rays starter Austin Pruitt has shown merit in his last three starts against prime competition in the Astros, Red Sox, and Indians. Yet, side with the Mariners to end Pruitt’s solid starts streak.

Off a gut-wrenching walk off loss to the Red Sox the Cardinals will take a short trip to Pittsburgh for Thursday. Tied into Thursday’s line is the fact that the Pirates are returning home from a seven-game road trip. Even though Adam Wainwright hasn’t lost since June 17th, grab the home edge with the Pirates. 

Boston’s surge continued Tuesday with a 10-4 win over the Cardinal. They’ve now won eleven of thirteen games and are doing it with uplifting play from their young bats. One pitcher that hasn’t joined in on the wins yet is Eduardo Rodriguez. Winless since May 26th he has been the culprit of poor run support or bullpen woes. Tonight look for that to end and Rodriguez to get on track. 

We’ll grab the value on the away Braves today as Chad Bettis makes his return debut. This line has dropped thirteen dollars from the opener due to Bettis unknown productivity. Yet, don’t be leery to jump in here as Teheran’s struggles have been sporadic but not to the level of degree priced here. Although Colorado’s bats are always tough at home back Atlanta here. 

For Sunday we’ll look at the Cubs-Dbacks closeout game. This has been the feature MLB series of the weekend and should be another dandy Sunday. With veteran pitcher Jon Lester showcasing increased form yesterday one may expect the same from Jake Arrieta Sunday. Instead look for the DBacks Zack Godley to outduel Arrieta and lead the Dbacks to victory.

Consecutive short outings from Oakland’s pitcher Sean Manaea is a prime factor in Saturday’s matchup against Baltimore. He has lasted just three innings in matchups versus the Angels and San Francisco. Expect Oakland’s slumping offense to generate some confidence for Manaea and get Oakland back in the win column.

It’s no secret that the Cubs playing on the road in Arizona is essentially a home game. Ex-Chicago residents currently in Arizona flock to the stadium yearly. That’s a factor in a line that should essentially be more even. Grab the value on the Diamondbacks and struggling pitcher Patrick Corbin.

Spot duty starting pitching of the unknown is typically a detractor in the betting market. Toronto will rely on Chris Rowley against a Pittsburgh team that scored four runs off of Marcus Stroman Friday. Factor in Trevor Williams impressive one-hit performance in his last start and you have home value on the Blue Jays. Grab Toronto.

As the Royals fight for playoff positioning they can ill-afford to have any letdowns against sub par teams. A sweep of the White Sox is expected even in a road environment beginning Friday. Sometimes teams overdo it at the trade deadline and lose a grip on momentum. That appears to be the case for the Royals as they’ve lost nine of eleven games. Grab the value on the underdog White Sox.

Jaime Garcia’s Yankees debut last week did not go according to the Yankees trade plans. Garcia lasted less than five innings as the Indians scored five runs off of him. Results for Boston’s Friday starter in Eduardo Rodriguez have been on a prolonged slump. His last win came in May 26th. Look for Rodriguez to avoid untimely walks and hits to deliver the road underdog win.

Thursday, the Mets corrected an elongated losing streak that featured eight of ten losses. They dominated a road series debut matchup against the woeful Phillies. Although Phillies pitcher Nick Pivetta is coming off a disastrous two-inning start against Colorado, the proper play is on the home Phillies.

The Dodgers incredible run has revved up nightly attraction. That doesn’t change on Thursday as the addition of pitcher Yu Darvish takes the mound. Last week in his first start since being traded he delivered a stellar outing on the road against the Mets. This would seem as another safe spot to back the Dodgers with inexperienced Diamondback starter in Anthony Banda on the hill Thursday. Instead grab the egregious spread differential here on the home Dbacks.

The Royals were one of the more aggressive teams before the MLB trade deadline. In acquiring pitcher Trevor Cahill the Royals were expecting his steady play as a Padre to carry over. Instead he has allowed four home runs in two short starts. Look for Cahill to gain support Wednesday as Mike Leake has been a beneficiary of statistics that haven’t warranted his effectiveness.

The Reds were stymied on Tuesday against the Padres by early runs. Wednesday the Padres will try to rely on veteran Travis Wood. Wood has done enough in his first two starts as a Padre to foresee continued rising value on the Padres. Yet, I think this is a safe spot to secure a rare expensive price for a team twenty-one games below .500. Grab the Reds.

Monday’s starter for the Angels is JC Ramirez. His inability to win consecutive games is a value detractor against Baltimore. In fact, Ramirez has not won consecutive starts since late May. Yet I’ll side with his pitching to hold fort and the Angels bats to be effective Monday.

The current market on Sunday’s Diamondbacks and Giants matchup is tight in the oddsmakers eyes. Jeff Samardzija is at his peak with consecutive strong outings. Meanwhile opposite is struggling Diamondbacks pitcher Patrick Corbin. Look for Corbin’s woes to subside Sunday and the hot hitting Diamondbacks to pull through. Grab Arizona

Command of Friday’s matchup against the Twins faltered early for the Rangers. Starter Martin Perez didn’t have command yet withstood to stay in the game. That’s an important factor for Saturday as the Rangers bullpen avoided lengthy use. Grab the steady veteran in Cole Hamels to deliver on the road Saturday.

Wednesday the Yankees lineup struck out eleven times against Indians ace Corey Kluber. The offense figures to have it much easier against Trevor Bauer on Friday. Yet for the second consecutive evening the Yankees will go with a new pitcher in Jaime Garcia whom was acquired via trade. Back the Indians here who will win with their team familiarity at home Friday.

Today a prime price is available on the Orioles, due to starting pitcher Chris Tillman’s 1-6 record and sky high ERA. While Detroit has won four of five against the Yankees and Astros, look for a reversal today in a new series against the Orioles. Grab Baltimore here.

Rays rookie pitcher Jacob Faria has shown he has a bright future in MLB. Overall he has a 5-1 record while an impressive 2.67 ERA. Overcoming tough spots with runners in scoring position has been his prime uplifting factor. Sunday look for Faria to come down to Earth a bit as the Yankees grab another win.

The DBacks continue their road series against St. Louis Saturday with dominant starter in Zach Greinke on the diamond. Concerns may reside with the availability of the Diamondbacks bullpen after prime use Friday. Although Mike Leake is coming off a strong outing against the Rockies back the Diamondbacks here Saturday.

Team momentum can blossom into something special. That appears to be occurring with the Kansas City Royals. Saturday they’ll aim for their tenth consecutive victory after an opening series 4-2 win over Boston Friday. Newly acquired pitcher in Trevor Cahill isn’t electric but expect him to fill the role the Royals desperately needed. Grab Kansas City to win their tenth in a row.

The Mets find themselves as steep road favorites Saturday against the Mariners. This is a quick turn around game after Friday’s late night game one matchup. Mets pitcher Jacob Degrom has a remarkable 25% of the Mets wins on the season. That’s devalued here as oddsmakers have factored in the Mets road travels.

Favorable odds were given in the Mets recent series on the road against the Padres. Heading up to Seattle the odds placement is flipped for game one. Look for the woes of Mets pitcher Rafael Montero to continue as he is 1-7 and has struggled in four seasons in the majors. Grab the home Mariners.

Friday, the Reds aim to halt a Marlins team that has been red-hot at the plate. After scoring twenty-two runs on Wednesday, they delivered again in game one Thursday against the Reds. Friday, Vance Worley will come out of the Marlins bullpen against Reds starter Sal Romano. Romano is coming off a home win against the Marlins on the 23rd and is being devalued based on the Reds poor play. Grab the Reds.

Cleveland aims to sweep a struggling Angels team Thursday. They’ll look for pitcher Trevor Bauer to succeed after his bounce back win against the Blue Jays. He may not showcase sharp pitches for the entire outing but I’ll side with the weighted differential from the Indians bats. Grab the Indians to complete the sweep as value lies against Ramirez off a win against David Price and Boston.

Tuesday, marks the third time this season that Rays rookie Jacob Faria has faced the Baltimore Orioles. Odds have shifted dramatically since he was once a +150-160 underdog in Baltimore. He now boasts a 4-1 record that will be put to the test against an Orioles team hitting the ball well. Look for the Rays to back up Faria similar to his last two outings against the Orioles. Grab the Rays.

Cleveland has team momentum as they have found their bats. Even though Monday’s starting pitcher in Josh Tomlin’s ERA is north of five, he’ll be able to stabilize a struggling Reds team. Another factor is Reds pitcher Tim Adleman coming off a strong outing that led to a Reds win over the Diamondbacks. Grab the Indians.

We’ll grab Houston on Sunday as their road dominance should carry over against the Orioles. Obviously this line is tilted one-sided and would be even higher if Lance McCullers had been stronger his last three games. Here, he’ll work his way through an effective outing and deliver Houston yet another road win.

A pitcher that has lost thunder in money line value has been JC Ramirez. He’s settled in with average statistics that are showcased with a 4.54 ERA and 8-8 record. Yet I’ll side with the home underdog value here based on last night’s cruise control Red Sox victory. Grab the Angels to bounce back here against David Price.

One of the few starting pitchers that has held merit for the Phillies has been Jeremy Hellickson. Hellickson has a 6-5 record and posted a solid 2016 season that is still fresh in bettors minds. Still, the value here lies with the road Brewers whom have lost six straight. Grab Milwaukee

Value has slid on the Rockies as their pitching staff has struggled to maintain. Statistically that’s been the case for Colorado’s Jeff Hoffman. He has an ERA of 4.33 and has struggled with walks and hits. With the Pirates having won eight of nine one has to wonder if Hoffman can hold it together here. He’ll show the growth in this outing and lead Colorado to victory.

Cleveland embarks a series against the Blue Jays as a questionable favorite. Pitcher Trevor Bauer lasted less than an inning in his last start against the A’s allowing four runs. On the other side Toronto’s Marco Estrada has not won a start since May. That factor combined with the Indians off-day Wednesday are factors for an improper line. Grab the Blue Jays.

The Oakland As have quietly gained traction as an underdog having won eight of their last twelve games. Friday they’ll travel to New York to take on a Mets team that they match in wins with forty-three. Paul Blackburn has impressed in three starts for the A’s but will experience his first major road test. Grab the Mets here. 

The Yankees continue their road travels as they head from Minnesota to Seattle. This is the third leg of a road trip that began post All-Star break in Boston. Pitching issues were expected from the Yankees but it’s the bats that have been even more an issue.  Thursday, expect the team to rise to the occasion against veteran Felix Hernandez against the .500 Mariners.

Thursday, the Red Sox will once again put struggling veteran Doug Sister on the mound. Thus far he has not shown to be starter worthy with a 6.75 ERA and an 0-3 record. Yet, opposite Fister is Francisco Liriano who has a similar ERA north of six. Side with the home Red Sox to find a way to bypass Fister’s woes. 

It’s typically unusual to see a home team as a steep underdog, unless a stout pitcher is on the mound. That’s the case Wednesday as Zack Greinke boasts an 11-4 record with a dominant 2.86 ERA. Furthermore, his Diamondbacks scored eleven runs in an unchallenged victory on Tuesday. Yet, I like the value here against Greinke due to rest from the All-Star break. This line is also skewed based on Greinke’s dominance of the Reds on July 7th.

Padres starter Dinelson Lamet has had a typical roller coaster rookie season. After starting off 2-0 he has only one win since May 30th. That drought combined with the Rockies recent scoring barrage are worrisome for Tuesday. Yet, I'll caution against Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela whose 9-3 record isn't on par with his 4.63 ERA.

Monday, the Tigers had a standout win against the Royals to the tune of 10-2. Tuesday, Tigers pitcher Matthew Boyd gets the start in his return debut. He has not pitched since May 31st. An expected short outing and the Tigers subpar bullpen are detractors on a balanced spread. Instead of tilting towards the home Royals, grab the value on the Tigers.

In all likelihood Bartolo Colon is making the last stop of his MLB career. The 44 year old struggled mightily as a starter in Atlanta before latching on recently with the Twins. Fortunately, the Twins are catching a tired Yankees team from a Sunday double-header and second road series. Grab the value here for a Twins Tuesday win.

Is Chicago ready to make a run? Monday, they'll look to build off a strong weekend as they head to Atlanta. In order to continue their upward ascent they'll need to take on a surging Braves team. Atlanta swept the Diamondbacks post All-Star break with great hitting. Even though Jon Lester is coming off an awful start, this is a momentum continuation spot. Grab the Cubs here even in heading into another road series. 

Prior to All-Star break the Arizona Diamondbacks lost eight of eleven games. Issues with closer Fernando Rodney and a 20-21 road record were prime factors in their slide. Now the question is was the Diamondbacks first half of the season a mirage. Friday play the Diamondbacks on downtrending value opposed Braves veteran RA Dickey. Four consecutive starts allowing an earned run or less from Dickey has peaked his in-season market value. 

Here we have a flip of fortunes with the Astros and Blue Jays. For the Astros Brad Peacock has been phenomenal out of the bullpen to the tune of a 6-1 record. On the other hand JA Happ has been solid with a 3.47 ERA but not record-wise (3-5). Here, look for the Blue Jays to carry yesterday's momentum into another solid home win.

A surprise for the Seattle Mariners has been pitcher Andrew Smith. He'll get his third start tonight against the Oakland As. A benefit for Smith is that all of his starts have been at Safeco field. Yet, this line is a bit staggered as the As are just 14-28 on the road. Grab the underdog As here as Chris Smith makes his first start out of the bullpen.

There is no doubt that Rangers starter Tyson Ross is not near the form of two years ago. Since returning to the rotation on June 16th, Ross has a 6.41 ERA. Furthermore, he has averaged around five innings each outing. Yet, the Rangers are hitting the ball extremely well and should garner the support necessary to aide Ross.

On Thursday, the Red Sox lost to the Rays with Chris Sale on the mound. That has created carry over value that benefitted Red Sox backers Friday and for today as well. Sidestep the woes of Red Sox struggling veteran Rick Porcello (4-10, 5.01 ERA). Production for the Rays bats has been quiet this series and should continue today. Grab the Red Sox.

Thursday, a six-run third inning was all the Twins needed to secure a victory over the Baltimore Orioles. With Thursday's loss the Orioles have now lost seven of nine games. Tonight, they'll aim to receive a strong outing from pitcher Kevin Gausmann . Gausmann is coming off his most efficient start of the year in a win versus the Rays. Still, the value lies with the Twins as the Orioles losing ways we'll continue to trickle into All Star break.

Six of nine losses has caused the Chicago Cubs to falter to below .500 at 41-42. Part of their woes have been through starting pitcher John Lackey. After an atrocious last start in which he surrendered eight runs his ERA now lies at 5.24. Facing a dangerous hitting team such as the Rays may seem like a tempting spot to grab the underdog. Instead, grab the price here on Chicago to be the latest team to put a blemish on Blake Snell's record.

Aside from a shaky outing against the Cubs, the Pirates Jameson Tailon has been dynamite. He's posted a 3-1 record with a 2.90 ERA. Yet his performance as a whole can't stir the Pirates. As a team they've lost four consecutive as they continue to distance themselves in the NL Central. While the Phillies are tough to back in consecutive outings this is a spot that we will. Grab Philadelphia.

Monday, the Minnesota Twins return home after a lengthy eleven game road stretch. In fact, they've lost six of eight games and are now just one game above .500 at 41-40. They'll aim to get the best of Angels pitcher Alex Meyer whom they faced June 1st. In that outing Meyer allowed just one earned run. Off a shutout effort against the Dodgers the value lies with the home Twins. Play Minnesota.

Monday, the Toronto Bluejays will aim for continued success from starter Marcus Stroman. After consecutive losses he delivered a stellar outing in his last start allowing no earned runs against the Orioles. On the other hand the Yankees return home after a tough road series to the Astros. Although the Bluejays have lost four straight, they'll be able to put up runs against a struggling Yankees bullpen and start Masahiro Tanaka. Grab the Bluejays.

We've seen a big price swing between the Orioles and Rays of $15. The Rays hot bats have been in cruise control Friday and Saturday leading to victories. Sunday's detractive price is based on the Orioles consecutive losses and starting pitcher Kevin Gausmann's season long struggles. Still, we'll grab the value here on the Orioles.

Over the last several years the Astros have had the upper hand over the Yankees in series match ups. Saturday's showcase is one that current pitching numbers have to be bypassed for more of a team emphasis. Astros starter Francis Martes ERA of 5.51 is unworthy of being favored over a potent Yankees club. Yet perhaps no pitcher over the first half of the season has had masked pitching stats as much as the Yankees Jordan Montgomery. His plaguing tendencies and a downgraded Yankees bullpen will serve as Saturday's matchup outlier.

Clear victories are typically hard to ignore for attraction the following day. Friday's runaway victory by the Cardinals poses as a detractor of current market value. Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez has danced around a high walk rate to be one of the more efficient middle rotation starters in baseball. He'll put in another solid days of work and lead the Nationals to victory.

The Rockies ten game tail spin began with home losses to the Diamondbacks. Their grueling road trip will continue as they start their third road series in Phoenix on Friday. On the mound for Arizona will be Robbie Ray whom has not lost an outing since May 9th. There is a price overlay here based on Ray's stout record and Arizona's 30-12 home record. Combine that with Jon Gray's first start in over two months and the value lies with the Rockies.

Consecutive starts against the same opponent is often a difficult task for any starting pitcher. On a rookies shoulders such as the Rays Jacob Faria elevates the matter. As steep favorites this past Saturday the Rays lost 8-3 at home with Faria on the mound. Instead of evaluating that team loss, aim for the future value if Faria had moved to 4-0 last Saturday. Grab the Rays here.

Padres top pitching prospect Dinelson Lamet has had a mixed first handful of starts in the big leagues. Two quality starts including a win against the Cubs over valued him. He quickly went through a rough patch before settling in his last two starts. Look for Jaymie Garcia to have the value here as the slight road favorite with a 2-5 record. Grab the road value here.

Closing in on All-Star break can create a false sense of teams with hope. Consecutive losses by the Royals have put oddsmakers in a tough pricing spot Wednesday. The last instance where the Royals lost three in a row was during their nine game losing streak to conclude April. Ride the oddsmakers pricing the Royals past value of having won eleven of their last fifteen. Play the Tigers. 

Wednesday we'll look for continuation of the Mets third road series to create value for the Marlins. On Tuesday as steep underdogs the Mets failed to carry over the offense displayed in their weekend series in San Francisco. Marlins Wednesday's starter in Jeff Locke's poor 0-3 record may ignite incorrect value on the slim price difference here. Instead grab the Marlins.

The Angels have won consecutive road games to get back over .500. Monday the setup lies of a perfect price overlay on the Dodgers. Travel is already a factor against the Angels as they're coming off road series against the Yankees and Boston. Combine that with the Dodgers ten game win streak and abnormal value lies with the Angels.

Suddenly the Rockies pitching has eroded. They've lost five consecutive games while yielding an average of 9.4 runs per game. Not much has went right for the Giants either as they've now lost twelve of thirteen games. Yet here look for starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija to pitch efficient enough to offset his poor 2-9 record. Grab the Giants here.

The Braves will attempt to sweep the Brewers on Sunday with top starter Julio Teheran on the mound. Here though we'll side with the value on the Brewers. Their starter in Zach Davies has struggled with a high ERA all season. Yet he does have a positive win to loss record at 7-5. While Teheran has had a string of success go against the grain here with the value on the road underdog.

Should this money line spread be reversed? If not for the Pirates 14-22 road record that likely would be the case. In his last start against the Cubs Pirates pitcher Jameson Tailon showed a bit of the rust expected from his recent return from the DL. Yet the Cardinals Adam Wainwright has had a June that has seen his ERA rise every outing. Grab the Pirates here.

The combination of hitting and pitching is starting to turn the corner for the Chicago Cubs. Last night's 11-1 win on the road over the Marlins was arguably their best production on both sides of the spectrum all season. They've now won four of five games and are getting solid road value here again against the Marlins.

Garnering his first start for the Mariners today will be Andrew Moore. While there is no supportive data on Moore, we'll back the Mariners as a whole as they have now won four straight games. They've done so with prime offense and a bullpen becoming much more efficient. Grab the Mariners to complete the four-game sweep.

Tonight the proper setup is in-line for value on the home underdog A's. Oddsmakers have to yield proper consideration to the away team Astros based on their overall and away record. Furthermore, the Astros pounded A's ace Sonny Gray in last night's 8-4 victory. Grab the value here on the A's as Mike Fiers turn around phenomenal June reverses course.

Four consecutive losses have put the Phillies at 22-47. A solid effort last night by starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson was thwarted by seven runs allowed from the bullpen. That puts attractive value today on the Phillies. Look for an opposite result from Phillies starter Nick Pivetta who lost in St. Louis on June 10th by allowing four runs in five innings.

Three straight strong outings from Jordan Zimmerman has given a bit of false turn around perception. Still, Zimmerman's ERA is north of five. Coming off his longest outing of the season with eight innings and 108 pitches is worrisome here. Grab the value of unheralded starter Miranda against the veteran Zimmerman.

Here we have a price solely based on team strength versus starting pitching. Obviously under normal circumstances an 8-3 led Greinke team would be a sizable favorite here. Riding a five game hitting streak that has been done with the old style run support of the Rockies is worthy backing here. Grab the Rockies who will get it done yet again with better hitting and a strong bullpen than the Diamondbacks.

The BlueJays find themselves as favorites by ten dollars more than yesterday's price. Heading into game two on the road against the Rangers the Blue Jays battered the Rangers with timely hitting on Tuesday. A key ninth inning against the Rangers closer Matt Bush sealed the deal in game one. In game two look for more of an all around balanced attack for the Blue Jays to win another.

We'll take the road Pirates on Monday as they face the Brewers. The question here lies with Pirates pitcher Gerritt Cole. Cole has not won consecutive outings all season. This should be a big test for Cole coming off one of his best pitching performances in a win against the Rockies. Though there is a seven game win difference between the two teams the price is right here on the road Pirates.

Here we'll grab the Braves as they look to conclude their series against the Marlins with consecutive wins. Thanks to four rbi's from Matt Adams the Braves were able to walk-off and defeat the Marlins in the tenth inning last night. Here side with the home value on the Braves as attraction lies with the Marlins and Jose Urena's 5-2 overall record.

We'll grab the value here on the Giants as they take on the red-hot Rockies. Here the value lies with the polar opposite records of both starting pitchers. Giants starter Jeff Samardzija's record stands at 2-8 while Antonio Senzatela is 8-2. For Senzatela signs are starting to show that he be wearing down a bit. Over his last few starts he has had mixed results. Grab the Giants here off the value of the Rockies seventeen game win difference of the Giants.

Off a rest day the Atlanta Braves will start Sean Newcomb for the second time. In his first start on the 10th he went six solid innings not allowing a run against the Mets. The bullpen caved that opportunity for Newcomb. Expect better run support against the Marlins pen and starter Dan Straily. Grab the slight home favorites here in the Braves.

The poor road team in the Baltimore Orioles have high value on Thursday as Chris Tillman takes the mound. Tillman's ERA has ballooned to over eight, with his record showcasing the results of 1-4. While Chicago did take the first two games of the series, Zack sees Baltimore evening things out off of Wednesday's win. Grab the Orioles.

The Angels will look to build upon last night's extra inning walk off win against the Yankees. They used an eighth inning home run by Eric Young Jr. and a walk off by him to complete the task. Tonight will be much more difficult as they face Michael Pineda. Yet grab the Angels as the value home underdog here.

Detracting value lies with the Reds on Monday. The merit of their pitching has teetered on their current road trip. They were swept by the Dodgers as starting and bullpen pitching could not sustain. Traveling to San Diego game one starter Bronson Arroyo figures to continue their road woes. Attraction for the Padres here lies with the fact that the Reds are 10-18 on the road and Arroyo has not won a start since May 5th. Yet, take the value on the Reds as slight underdogs.

White Sox pitcher Mike Pelfrey has posted four consecutive solid outings. Two were his first winning decisions of the season and another a no-decision start. A long nine-game road trip has stirred value here at home Monday for the White Sox. Boasting a 10-20 record does not assure oddsmakers Monday with veteran Wade Miley coming off a horrid home start against the Pirates.

Sunday two young pitchers get the start as Kansas City sends Jake Junis and the Padres Dinelson Lamet. After two solid starts Lamet was rocked his last outing against Arizona, which heavily skewed his ERA. For the Royals pitching problems will not go away, but their bread and butter needs to come via their veteran bats. Look for that edge to be the difference Sunday.

Sunday former Giants farm system pitcher Nick Turley will get the start for the Twins. Coming off yesterday's 3-2 win the Twins will look to attack hard-hit veteran Matt Cain. Bettors have now began to recognize and fade the Giants who are now fourteen games below .500. Furthermore, the Giants have also lost seven of nine home games. Sunday though grab the low-market value on the Giants.

We'll lean on the underdog Phillies for Thursday. Yesterday, support came in on the Braves properly as they ended a five game losing streak to the Phillies. Tonight, command issues with 42 year old RA Dickey should be on full display. He has three or more batters in five straight games while yielding an average of 7 hits in those outings. Grab the value here on the Philies after yesterday's hit parade by the Braves to the tune of 14 runs.

Consecutive losses have drawn back the value on the Dodgers Tuesday. Over the course of the past eighteen innings the offense has produced just two runs. Both of those runs were against a worn down final inning from Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez. Facing sharp veteran Max Scherzer doesn't bode well, yet the value is on the side of the Dodgers. Look for the effective bullpen of the Dodgers to shine here.

In Oakland's last three games they've scored a combined twenty-five runs. After winning game one last night against Toronto, this would seem like a spot for Jesse Hahn to snap out of his poor season record. Overall he's 1-4 and has not won since April 19th. Eerily both Hahn and Toronto starter Marco Estrada are coming off starts of less than three innings. Yet, side with the value on Toronto halting the run production of the A's tonight.

The woes for Chicago are not solved just yet. Having shown life with their bats the Cubs were able to stage consecutive come back wins against the Cardinals. That's likely elevated their price for Monday as they start another home series against the Marlins. Miami is one of the few teams in MLB that has a core mix of hitters and bullpen pitching from three seasons ago. They'll step up to the challenge of giving the Cubs their best effort. Grab the Marlins.

Yesterday the White Sox lost in disastrous fashion to the Detroit Tigers 15-5. They'll look to Miguel Gonzalez to out duel struggling ace Jordan Zimmerman Saturday. This is the same matchup as five days ago when the White Sox lineup got the best of Zimmerman for seven runs. While I don't expect the same battering of Zimmerman by the White Sox, I do like the value here based on Zimmerman's revenge and last night's ten run win. Grab Chicago.

Houston -119

Off consecutive road appearances Yu Darvish returns home to face the hot hitting Astros. Factored into tonight's line is the fact that both teams were off Thursday. Also the Astros are amidst their second road trip series. Still, look for the typical recipe from the Astros to flourish here on the road. Grab Houston.

Another road trip variable lies tonight with the Atlanta Braves. They'll embark on their third consecutive road trip tonight against Cincinnati. This comes after a west coast trip with series against the Angels and Giants. Still grab the value here on the Braves with the road variable too heavily weighted into tonight's line.

For the second consecutive game the Orioles offense was ignited in a 7-5 win over the Red Sox. That's a positive sign for Buck Showalter's Orioles who blister the ball with team succession as best as any team in MLB. After hitting four home runs off the Red Sox last night one would expect another hot hitting night against Rick Porcello. Hits have been frequently allowed by Porcello who has surrendered nine or more hits in four consecutive starts. Yet, grab the value here on Boston as Baltimore's recent three of four wins has overs shadowed having lost eight of eleven.

Play Angels

The Rockies will try to avoid being swept on Thursday against the Mariners. To do so they'll need to rely on starting pitcher Kyle Freeland and a bullpen that's had a rough series. Overall the Mariners have outscored the Rockies 21 runs to 9. Freeland's issues with giving up home runs (4 in L3 starts) is a concern but grab the Rockies in a quick turn around from last night's game.

Can the Dodgers win their seventh straight? To do so they'll need to defeat the Cardinal once again in St. Louis. Last night they needed a come back win to get the job done but cruised to a 9-4 win. In fact, all of their wins during this streak have come by four runs or greater. The combination of hitting and pitching will continue to get the job tonight. Grab the value here as this is sided on Martinez side based on Ryu's wins and losses.

The Orioles return home having being swept on the road against the Astros. The sweep added to the Orioles losing streak to bring their loss total to seven straight. Correcting their issues in a home return figures to be a boost against the Yankees young pitcher in Jordan Montgomery. He has had issues with command and hasn't garnered a win in three straight starts. Yet, with the Orioles struggling at the plate to produce runs grab the value here on the Yankees.
