Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres Cincinnati Reds -120
Rough Bonus Play loss yesterday ending our three game win streak. Today we go back to what got us the hot streak, MLB!! All trends and capping point to a very easy winner tonight. Lets get back on track!
Records
Cincinnati Reds 20-14, 13-5 away (Harang 3-3, 2.93 ERA)
San Diego Padres 13-22, 8-6 home (Correia 0-2, 5.34 ERA)
Betting Trends
SD are 7-19 in their last 26 overall.
Padres are 2-9 in their last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter.
Reds are 7-1 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter.
Reds are 6-1 in their last 7 overall.
Two teams headed in opposite directions: Reds 3 wins in a row, Padres lost 6 in a row!! Also Harang has been unbelievable this year for the Reds only giving up more than 2 runs twice out of seven starts. Early in the season the Reds were winning with dominating pitching but the last 6 games has seen the bats heat up averaging over 7 runs per game against several good pitchers in that string. Even better for Harang is that the Padres have been in a slump over the last month where they have only 4 wins out of 23 games and averaging less than three runs. Padres had to travel home late last night whereas the Reds were waiting for them in San Diego on an off day yesterday. A hot rested team verse a cold tired team, pretty easy capping. SCORE: REDS 6 - SD 1

Oakland Athletics vs. Detroit Tigers
Play: Oakland Athletics
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Oakland as they face Detroit slated to start at 7:05 EST. Oakland is 175-129 (+48.4 Units) against the money line in road games versus teams who strand 6.9 or less runners on base per game since 1997. Detroit is 48-69 (-31.4 Units) against the money line in home games versus an AL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.400 to 1.500 since 1997. Oakland is 24-42 (-17.8 Units) against the money line after 3 straight games where they committed no errors over the last 3 seasons. Leyland is 21-7 (+12.2 Units) against the money line in home games versus a very good bullpen whose WHIP is 1.250 or better. Oakland starter Anderson may 0-3, but he far better than that record would indicate. As is the case with 90% of pitchers he truly needs to work ahead in the count. Batters hit just 226 after an 0-1 count, 067 after an 0-2 count. Batters hit 326 after a 1-0 count. Another key advantage that he has it that Detroit has never faced him live. It is one thing to review scouting reports and watch video, but it is a completely different thing to actually face that pitcher. Take Oakland.

Colorado Rockies vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Play: Pittsburgh Pirates
PNC Park will be the site of tonight’s National League battle between the host Pittsburgh Pirates and the visiting Colorado Rockies. The Rockies have found the going tough on the highway this season posting a record of 6-10 W/L for -2.4 units. If the Rockies are under the lights they are 6-12 W/L for -7.0 units. Colorado’s ability to score runs drops off when they are away from Coors averaging only 4.0 runs per game with a batting average of only .236 on the season. The Rockies will hang their hopes on Jorge De La Rosa who is 0-3 W/L on the year including 0-1 W/L in three road appearances. Pittsburgh was getting solid pitching performances during the month of April but the month of May has been a much different story. They will send left-hander Paul Maholm to the bump with his 3-1 W/L record which includes a 2-0 W/L record at home with an ERA of 2.66. He is coming off one of his worst outings of the season and we look for him to rebound against this Rockies team. Pittsburgh is 16-6 W/L in Maholms last 22 home starts and 10-1 W/L his last 11 as a home favorite. Colorado is 18-40 W/L their last 58 road games versus teams with a winning home record and 20-45 W/L when installed as a road underdog. The Rockies are 1-5 W/L in De La Rosa’s last 6 starts, 0-5 W/L when he is an underdog and 0-4 W/L when he is a road underdog. Our TPR (Team Performance Ratings) Index projects a Pirates win by 2.0 runs in tonight’s game and the Math Model also favors Pittsburgh with them capturing the home win by 1.5 runs. Lay the chalk with the host as the Pirates and Maholm get the job done on Friday night.

Bet on the RED SOX to win straight up
Lester returns to Washington, his home state, to pitch against the sliding Mariners. Seattle played above their ability in April but are in the process of coming back to earth. They're at home here but it won't make a difference as there is a gulf in quality between the two starting pitchers. Jakubaus got lit up at the Twins last time and will be out of his depth with these Boston match ups. Look for Lester to set up a RED SOX victory here tonight.
