What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8.5
- Favored Team – OAK -140
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home GPPs are often won by playing the unsexy picks like Tommy Milone. He has a great home ERA t 2.82 but has not looked good in his last couple of outings. I am not sure I trust him against this very right-handed heavy STL team that is 3rd in the league in runs scored. STL is batting .273 on the road, .236 versus left-handers, and .263 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 5
- Away Jake Westbrook will not get you too many Ks but he should benefit from this park. He is off to a phenomenal season but draws a tough opponent in OAK that ranks 6th in the league in runs scored and has been a very productive home team. I think the possibility that he gets spotted for 4 or 5 is much greatert than him pitching a gem. OAK is batting .242 at home, .248 versus right-handers, and .251 over the last 7 days RG Start-Ability 4
Batter Grind Down
- Home Coco Crisp is 8-15 versus Westbrook. Josh Donaldson maintains his hot streak with 25.5 fp over the last 7 days.RG Stack Rating
- Away The park worries me a little but Milone is trending downwards so I think everyone is playable. RG Stack Rating 5

. What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 9.5
- Favored Team – SFO -115
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Drew Pomeranz is not a very good big league pitcher and he draws a very good left-handed hitting team. This one could get ugly real fast as the AAA call-up has not been impressive in the minors either. SFO is batting .262 on the road, .279 versus left-handers, and .219 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 1
- Away I am going to go out on a limb and say that Madison Bumgarner has a solid game today in COL. Everyone likes to avoid pitchers in Coors Field but the park has only produced the 5th most runs on the year and COL has been struggling a bit as of late. COL is batting .284 at home, .275 versus left-handers, and .286 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 6
Batter Grind Down
- Home COL as a team has a .304 BAA versus Bumgarner so everyone has positive numbers. Carlos Gonzalez ‘s 10-27 with 3 HRs is the most impressive. Michael Cuddyer has been very hot with 35.5 fp over the last week.RG Stack Rating 5
- Away Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Belt, and Hunter Pence are your most desirable players but consider everyone playable.RG Stack Rating 8

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8
- Favored Team – SEA -120
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home If you believe that Jeremy Bonderman ‘s success is legit then he is a must start on a multiple pitcher site at home where he is a 1.40 pitcher on the year. I am not completely buying into things but it is hard to argue with production and CHC is a horrible road team. CHC is batting .225 on the road, .242 versus right-handed pitching and .266 over the last 7 days RG Start-Ability 7
- Away Most people like to pick on the Astros. I like to pick on the Mariners because they both strikeout a ton and cannot score any runs at home. Edwin Jackson has been horrible on the year but his Ks are still high and he has a nice resume. He is my high risk/reward player of the day. SEA is batting .245 at home, .239 versus right-handers, and .242 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 6
Batter Grind Down
- Home Raul Ibanez has been hot over the past week. If I were to play anyone it would be him. RG Stack Rating 3
- Away Anthony Rizzo is the only Cun that I would consider but the Cubs have been so bad that he is probably not worth a look either. RG Stack Rating 2

*
What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7.5
- Favored Team – LAD -110
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Stephen Fife is the favorite today but he has yet to throw over 100 pitches and is giving up way too many fly balls for my taste. He allowed 2 HRs his last time out and that is a trend that could continue if he does not keep the ball down in the future. PHI is batting .260 on the road, .259 versus right-handers, and .297 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 3
- Away Kyle Kendrick got off to that great start and has yet to come back down to earth. His K totals are a little low but he has been rolling even on the road and going deep into games. LAD is batting .255 at home, .253 versus right-handers, and .244 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 6
Batter Grind Down
- Home Andre Either is 5-16 with 2 HRs versus Kendrick. Hanley Ramirez has been super hot with 36 fp over the last week and has positive BvPs versus Kendrick as well.RG Stack Rating
- Away The PHI have come to life as of late and I think they are in a good spot today to continue their run. Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Domonic Brown are the obvious plays but I think everyone has value. Michael Young has been producing as is cheap. RG Stack Rating 5

| NYY vs R | NYY BvP | BAL vs R | BAL BvP | ||||||
What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8.5
- Favored Team – BAL -120
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home All of Chris Tillman ‘s numbers take a dip at home with the most notable being that his K/9 totals drop to under 8. He has had a fantastic June so far but faces a NYY team that owns a .319 BAA versus him as a team. NYY is batting .237 on the road, .241 versus right-handers, and .238 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 5
- Away Hiroki Kuroda lasted only 2 IP and gave up 5 ER in his last start here in BAL. That plus his 3.38 road ERA are enough for me to take a pass on him versus the league’s second most highest scoring offense. BAL is batting .266 at home, .279 versus right-handers, and .259 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 4
Batter Grind Down
- Home Chris Davis, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, and Matt Wieters have positive BvPs versus Kuroda. Davis has been red hot with 30.75 fp over the last 7 days. Brian Roberts could be a sneaky play this morning since he should be activated from the DL for this game.RG Stack Rating 4
- Away Robinson Cano is 8-16 with 1 HR versus Tillman. Lyle Overbay is 3-8 with 2 HRs. Ichiro Suzuki and Brett Garner have both been hot over the last week. I like all of NYY bats today in moderation. RG Stack Rating 5
