Pitchers
- Home Does the fact that the Astros are playing in Coors Field mean that we can finally take hitters from the Astros or that we can finally take a Rockies pitcher at home? Tough one huh? I think I am going to stick to my rule of never taking pitchers in Coors, sorry Tyler Chatwood, nothing personal. Avoid
- Away Erik Bedard has some great numbers in his favor tonight. Well great numbers to get rocked. His ERA on the road this season is almost 9 and he is playing in Coors Field. AVOID
Batters
- Home Troy Tulowitzki, Troy Tulowitzki, Troy Tulowitzki, he is going to homer tonight and you heard it here first. I also like Dexter Fowler, Eric Young, and any other right hand bat in the lineup tonight.
- Away If you are feeling froggy, then leap on some Astros tonight.
LA Dodgers at LA Angels

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Chris Capuano – (1-3), 5.6 ERA, 7.31 K/9, 1.476 WHIP | Jered Weaver – (0-1), 4.91 ERA, 4.91 K/9, 1.364 WHIP | ||||||

Las Vegas
- OU 8.0
- Favored LAA -172
Pitchers
- Home The Angels get Jered Weaver back tonight and they could sure use him. I wouldn’t pull the trigger on him just yet though as this is his first start back and he will likely be on a pitch count. But still, it’s good to see him back. Avoid
- Away Chris Capuano has had two good starts in his last three, but he has been way too inconsistent this season. That and the fact that he is facing the big bats of the Angels makes me want to stay far away from him tonight. Avoid
Batters
- Home The low over/under scares me a bit from taking some of the big Angels bats just because they are so expensive, but I don’t think you can ignore Albert Pujols tonight. He has absolutely crushed Capuano in the past going 21/38 with 5 HR’s against him. Those numbers are insane.
- Away Weaver is likely going to only last 4 or 5 innings so I think there is some room for the Dodgers bats to provide some value today. Adrian Gonzalez has been hot, Carl Crawford is swinging well, and Andre Ethier has been solid against right hand bats.
Seattle at San Diego

| Joe Saunders – (3-5), 6.09 ERA, 4.56 K/9, 1.661 WHIP | Eric Stults – (4-4), 4.22 ERA, 5.78 K/9, 1.318 WHIP | ||||||

Las Vegas
- OU 7.5
- Favored SD -156
Pitchers
- Home Eric Stults is a pretty average pitcher and I’m actually a little surprised that he is this big of a favorite. I know that Joe Saunders is awful, but the Mariners could easily knock around Stults and pick up a win. Maybe Vegas knows something that I don’t. In Play
- Away Joe Saunders can have his rare good games, but they are few and far between. The Padres are good against lefties and I just don’t see the value for Saunders. Avoid
Batters
- Home Chase Headley has good BvP off of Saunders, Everth Cabrera is good against lefties, Chris Denorfia is good against lefties, Carlos Quentin has been playing well. All are in play tonight.
- Away Michael Morse, Jason Bay, and Kendrys Morales are the only Mariners that you need to be worried about tonight. All have been playing well and have hit lefties well this season.
Oakland at San Francisco

| Tommy Milone – (4-5), 3.8 ERA, 7.73 K/9, 1.188 WHIP | Tim Lincecum – (3-4), 4.75 ERA, 9.57 K/9, 1.412 WHIP | ||||||

Las Vegas
- OU 7.5
- Favored SF -124
Pitchers
- Home Tim Lincecum has had some great success against the current A’s hitters, but he has been so up and down that it’s really hard to pay that price for him. Sure, he gets a lot of K’s per 9 innings, but the problem is that he doesn’t last that deep into games. In Play
- Away Tommy Milone is much better at home than he is on the road and Buster Posey is going to get to him. Avoid
Batters
- Home Buster Posey continues to rake against lefties batting .310 on the season. He has also been very good at home with a .379 average and 5 HR’s. Pablo Sandoval is also in play.
- Away The A’s are a tough team to predict as is Tim Lincecum. The A’s could either score 6 runs or 0 runs. I think I’m avoiding the situation altogether.
