GOODFELLAS
(MLB) MILWAUKEE -127 ARIZONA (8PM)
I am backing one of the worse teams tonight at home. Jimmy Nelson (2-5, 3.67) will make his first start against Arizona. Nelson didn't get enough support in his attempt to win back-to-back starts Sunday, yielding two runs in 5 2/3 innings of a 2-1 loss in Atlanta. Five days earlier, he gave up one run in eight in an 8-1 win in Detroit.
SYDNEY ST GEORGE
(MLB) WASHINGTON/CINCINNATI UNDER 7.5 -110 (7PM) ** 2 UNIT PLAY***
Line is telling me something here. Look at Strasburg (3-5, 6.50 ERA) who allowed six runs over 3 2/3 innings in Saturday's 8-1 home defeat to Philadelphia, leaving him at 1/3 with a 10.20 ERA in his last four outings. He has failed to pitch through the fourth inning in all three losses. The right-hander has gone 1-1 with a 5.50 ERA in three career starts against Cincinnati. Reds pitcher Anthony Delsclafani (2-4, 3.46), gave up one run in seven innings of Saturday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland. The right-hander, who didn't get the decision, had gone 0-3 with a 7.58 ERA in his previous four starts. Both pitchers have stunk but the total is 7.5. Screaming OVER, so grab under.
(MLB) MINNESOTA/TORONTO UNDER 8.5 -115 (8PM)
Buehrle (5-4, 5.13 ERA) owns 28 wins against Minnesota for his most against any opponent, and he is 2-2 with a 1.20 ERA in four outings at Target Field. Toronto will get its first look at starter May (3-3, 4.95), who owns a 3.99 home ERA compared to 6.91 on the road. The right-hander yielded three runs in seven innings to earn Saturdays 4-3 road victory over the White Sox. This game should be a close low scoring game.
(MLB) KANSAS CITY/CHICAGO UNDER 8.5 -110 (4PM)
Kansas Citys Volquez (4-3, 2.77 ERA) has given up two runs over 13 innings while winning his last two starts, though he hasnt won in three road outings this year. He is 7-0 with a 2.90 ERA in 11 games, including 10 starts, against the Cubs. The right-hander allowed one earned run over 16 innings in his last three matchups. Volquez is 5-0 with a 1.36 ERA in his last 10 outings against NL teams going back to last season with Pittsburgh. Cubbies throw Jake Arriata (4-4, 2.95) who has logged three straight quality starts, striking out 24 over 21 innings. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 3.12 ERA in three starts a
