Pittsburgh at Florida 6:10pm EST
Selection: FLORIDA -155
Profile: Christopher Volstad has struggled recently, but he turned things around in his last start. His arm strength has greatly improved, so I look for him to carry that momentum into this game. In addition, Charlie Morton hasn't pitched deep into any of his starts, which will be a problem for the Pirates bullpen that pitched extended innings yesterday. Florida is a very good home team, while Pittsburgh has struggled mightily on the road. Look for the Marlins to get an easy win.

Houston at San Francisco 10:10pm EST
Selection: UNDER 8.5 RUNS
Profile: This game features a battle of two outstanding young starters. Neither team has seen either starting pitcher before, and both pitchers both are in good form. In addition, each team is coming off of a road trip, with San Francisco coming off of an extended trip. I look for each team to be sluggish in this night game because of the travel situation. Houston and San Francisco also hit much worse against right handers. Look for this game to be low scoring and dominated by both starters.
2 UNIT SELECTION
Baltimore at LA Angels 10:10pm EST
Selection: LA ANGELS -147
Profile: Ervin Santana is making his first start for Anaheim after coming off of the DL. He pitched very well in his minor league start, as well as a bullpen session. The Angels got a win last night against the Orioles, and they are one of the hottest teams in baseball. I look for Santana to bring a very focused effort tonight to get off to a good start in the rotation. David Hernandez hasn't really been tested since entering the rotation, especially on the road. I look for him to get hit hard tonight against one of the better line-ups in the league. Baltimore is also one of the worst road teams in baseball, while Anaheim plays very well at home.
