Toronto at Baltimore
Play: Over 9

Mike Bolsinger has a 6.09 ERA and 1.64 WHIP while going 0-2 in his first two starts for the Blue Jays and both of those outings were at home. Now the struggling right-hander is on the road for the first time this season and he’s facing a powerful Orioles lineup that has helped lead the way to a perfect 6-0 record for the Orioles in home games this month. The O’s have averaged 5 runs per game in these 6 games. The Orioles have averaged 7 runs per game in their 5 most recent games and will rough up Bolsinger. Baltimore will have Kevin Gausman toeing the rubber this evening and he is struggling again this season with a 7.19 ERA and a 1.86 WHIP. He has so much potential but continues to suffer with major consistency issues and he got roughed up again at Kansas City in his most recent start. The Blue Jays lineup has picked up the pace after a slow start this season and Toronto is averaging 5.6 runs per game in their last 10 games. As a road dog in a range of +125 to +175 this season Toronto has gone 5-1 to the over. In Gausman’s last 6 starts for the Orioles only 1 under has resulted. We expect both powerful lineups to cash in plenty of run-scoring opportunities in this one.

Jeff Samardzija has seen better days, the lanky righty enters this Saturday night start in St. Louis sporting a 1-5 season mark with an ERA that stands at 5.26. Somehow though, the Over is just 2-5-1 when he starts for the Giants?!?!

I expect that to change tonight, as St. Louis enters having played Overs in 19 of their last 26 games overall, and starter Carlos Martinez has been an Over pitcher thus far this year.

Martinez has seen 2 of his last 3 starts land Over the total, and the Over is 4-2-2 through 8 starts this year.

The teams opened their series last night with 11 combined runs, as the Giants are now 4-1 over the total in their last 5 games played. Series numbers show 5 of the last 7 meetings landing Over the total.

Let's look for another Over tonight at Busch Stadium.

Giants-Cardinals Over the total.

Right now it's a good idea to go against Bartolo Colon, as Colon has not worked past the 6th inning in any of his last 4 starts, and has allowed 22 runs, 21 of them earned over his last 19-plus innings. He has also allowed 32 hits in those 19-plus innings, and on a hot day in Atlanta, you can expect the Nationals bats to be banging the ball all over Sun Trust Park.

Washington goes with Max Scherzer who already has bested the Braves once this season in the middle of April in a 3-1 Nats home win.

Scherzer stands at 4-2 with a 2.80 ERA, and without their main cog - Freddy Freeman - in the lineup, I see the already challenged Braves struggling to get much offense going versus Scherzer.

Atlanta beat Washington late last night, but the Nats are still 3-1 in the season series against Atlanta this season, and after last night's loss, I expect them to come back strong today with a 2 runs or better victory.

That being the case, Saturday comp play is the Nationals on the Run Line over the Braves.

My free winner for tonight is on the Atlanta Braves, as a big underdog to the Washington Nationals.

Atlanta shocked the Nationals last night, sending them to their third straight defeat. Now, catching a big number, I say why not take a chance here with a live underdog.

I won't list pitchers. After all, why would I care if Washington's Max Scherzer gets scratched? Am I worried? Not in baseball, where anything can happen on any given day.

The Braves showed us resiliency last night by scoring three times in the eighth inning for a 7-4 victory.

Atlanta beat the Nationals for just the fifth time in their past 23 meetings. That, too, could provide a little motivation.

Washington is explosive and dangerous, I get it. But when it is slumping, you take advantage of prices and take a shot.

I'll do so with the Braves.

3* BRAVES

My free pick for tonight is on the Under in the Colorado Rockies clash in Cincinnati against the Reds.

Since every MLB wager on a run line or total auto-lists pitchers, I want you to be sure the two pitchers on your ticket, when making this play, are Antonio Senzatela and Tim Adleman. If they are not the pitchers of record when making your play, disregard this play.

Adleman was removed from his last outing because of tightness in his neck, but insists he is ready to take the mound for his sixth start of the year.

And with this one being played at Great American Ball Park, I like my chances with this kid pitching a gem for the Reds. The right-hander has been a different pitcher in Cincinnati, going 2-0 with a 3.43 ERA, versus an 0-2 mark with an 11.37 ERA on the road.

He could face stiff competition today, against Senzatela, whose last start might have been a five-inning struggle, but that also resulted in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

This rookie showed resiliency, as his attention to detail in finding his spots and working out of jams helped keep his team ahead without his best stuff. Tonight I expect him to keep the Reds off-balance.

Cincinnati has won five of the past seven meetings with Colorado, but the Rockies won last night. This one will be a battle, led by the starting pitchers.

Play this one low.

I'm ready to improve on this 95-74-3 run with free picks, and am 31-23-1 with my complimentary plays in the NBA after hitting the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaking of the ECF, does anyone realize there have been no lead changes and ties in this series, thus far? The Cavaliers' biggest lead in Game 1 was 28, and 50 in Game 2. And while everyone is wondering who will win the league MVP - Westbrook, Harden or Leonard - I know the real MVP is making a mockery of the Boston Celtics.

Tonight I'm in the NBA, only this time with the Over in the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors in Game 3.

The teams scored 224 points in Game 1, as the Warriors came from behind to win 113-111, and then demoralized the Spurs in Game 2 with a 136-100 victory. For those incapable of addition by sight, that's 236 points.

An average of 230 points in the first two games, and the Cavaliers coming off that big win last night, you really think the Warriors' tempo will be slowed down because the series has shifted?

I don't think so.

San Antonio will have no choice but to pick things up and play a faster tempo. The Spurs can't afford to try to stop Golden State, and lose focus on their on offense. They need to play just as fast and score just as quick.

Take the Over tonight, as these two continue on a torrid pace.
