What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8.5
- Favored Team – PHI -115
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Jonathan Pettibone first start was against this Mets team and he held them to 3 ER over 5 IP with 4 Ks. He ran into some problems on the road but he has been 2.72 pitcher at home this year and the Mets have been anemic on offense. NYM is batting .244 on the road, .227 versus right-handers, and .237 over the last 7 days. Start-abilty 4
- Away Dillon Gee is on a nice little run in his last 4 starts over his last 4 starts. He has gone 29.1 IP with 5 ER and 30 Ks. PHI owns a .380 BAA versus him but I like to ride a player on at hot streak and PHI has struggled on the year. They are batting .249 at home, .253 versus right-handers and .282 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 6
Batter Grind Down
- Home Ryan Howard and Michael Young have been hot over the past 7 days. Howard is 4-12 with 4 HRs versus Gee. Michael Young is 6-8 with 2 HRs. Jimmy Rollins is 8-13 versus him as well. Stack-ability 2
- Away On paper Pettibone start went well but the Mets batted .389 against him. If he allows that to happen again then his luck will surely change. David Wright and Marlon Byrd have both been hot. Stack-ability 4

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 10
- Favored Team – CHC -160
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Travis Wood has been one of the players I mention the most. He has a 2.36 home ERA and has been consistent on the year. I always say he is too risky to play because he plays for the Cubs but guess what? Today, he draws the Astros which makes him not only playable but a guy who will be target as well. The only thing that worries me about him is the high OU at 10, which probably means the wind is blowing out and HOU hits lefties much better than righties.. HOU is batting .242 on the road, .268 verus left-handers, and .222 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 6
- Away Bud Norris is not playable today because of his 5.40 road ERA. The fact that the OU is set at 10 only pushes me away faster from him and towards a few Cubs. CHC is batting .255 at home, .240 versus right-handers and, .215 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 3
Batter Grind Down
- Home Everyone is playable. Starlin Castro is 7-19 with 1 HR versus Norris. David DeJesus is 5-11 with 2 HRs. Alfonso Soriano is 6-17 with 2 HRs.
- Away If the wind is blowing out (you can look on our LU page to see) then everyone is playable and HOU could offer a solid source of value to your LU. Stack-ability 5

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8.5
- Favored Team – ATL -140
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Donovan Hand gets the spot start today. You should not be to excited about the reliever’s potential given he managed just a 6.08 K/9 in relief, a number which will drop as a starter. He will probably be on limited pitches anyway. ATL is batting .238 on the road, .247 versus right-handers, and .214 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 1
- Away In Tim Hudson 4 starts in June, he has a 1.57 ERA and has recorded 22 Ks in 28.2 IP. After a horrible May, he seems to be regaining his form. Mil is less formidable without Braun. They are batting .252 on the road, .254 versus right-handers, and .238 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 7
Batter Grind Down
- Home Aramis Ramirez is 6-19 versus Hudson. Jean Segura, and Carlos Gomez are both batting over .300 versus right-handers
- Away Hand well probably only pitch 5 IP so consider every one in play. B.J. Upton has been hot with 25 fp over the last 7 days as has Freddie Freeman with 21 fp.

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 9
- Favored Team – DET -200
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home It is probably a good idea to lay off of Max Scherzer today. For one, he has been a 4.21 pitcher at home this year. For another, he is facing the number 1 ranked offense in baseball and a team that owns a .344 BAA versus him. He has the most upside out of any player going and BOS is third in the league in Ks so there is huge upside in the play if you are willing to gamble. BOS is batting .260 on the road, .280 versus right-handers, and .242 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 7
- Away Allen Webster 11.74 ERA and 1.96 look like sacrificial Lambs headed to the slaughter. Sure, it is after only two starts but I would not recommend him today in DET even if his ERA was 1.74. DET is batting .302 at home, .280 versus right-handers, and .282 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 1
Batter Grind Down
- Home Stack away my friends. Stack Away. Stack-ability 10
- Away David Ortiz is 6-10 with 2 HRs off of Max. Jarrod Saltalamachia is 5-9 with 1 HR. Shane Victorino and Jacoby Ellsbury have both been hot over the last 7 days. Stack-ability 5

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8.5
- Favored Team – CLE -160
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Corey Kluber is the heavy favorite in this game and he has been pitching very well as of late. He has a 2.74 ERA so far this year at home and You have to think he is a lock to get the win against Walters. MIN is batting .224 on the road, .240 versus right-handers, and .274 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 6
- Away P.J. Walters has pitched fantastic since starting the season. He is a career 5.71 pitcher and has spent most of his time in the minor leagues so I would not get too excited about his 3.23 ERA. CLE is batting .250 at home, .249 versus right-handers, and .221 over the last 7 days. Start-ability 4
Batter Grind Down
- Home Jason Kipnis has been the only player producing on this slumping team. I think CLE gets things rolling today. I like the left-handed bats and Carlos Santana. Stack-ability 4
- Away Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer are both batting over .300 versus right-handers. Bill Dozier has been super hot with 37.75 fp over the last week. The BvPs are low but I like Trevor Plouffe ‘s 2-5 with 2 HRs line.Stack-ability 3
