1* Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers - DODGERS TO WIN (-114)
A good pitching match up tonight with two good young pitchers on the mound for each team. The Rockies will send Juan Nicasio to the mound, who is 4-2 on the year with a 3.88 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. Batters are hitting .259 against Nicasio, who struggles on the road. In four road starts Juan is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA. Rubby De La Rosa will pitch for the Dodgers, and is 3-4 on the year with a 3.73 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Batters are hitting .247 against De La Rosa. Nicasio faced the Dodgers on June 9th, where he gave up 7 hits and 4 earned runs in a no decision. De La Rosa beat the Rockies back on June 12th, which was actually his last win. He gave up 3 runs over 5 innings in the start. Note that the Rockies are 3-10 in their last 13 road games, and just 18-44 in their last 62 games as a road underdog. The Rockies are also just 5-21 in their last 26 games as an underdog overall. On the other hand the Dodgers are 6-1 in their last 7 home games, and 7-1 in their last 8 games as a favorite. The Dodgers are also 5-0 in their last 5 home games vs a right handed starter, and 5-2 in their last 7 games following a win. Los Angeles has won 3 of their last 4 games, which should help a bit with confidence levels coming into tonight’s game. The Rockies are just 7-15 in their last 22 meetings in Los Angeles. Colorado hasn’t been playing well on the road, and have a pitcher going tonight that doesn’t fare well away from home. LA continues to play well at home tonight with a win against the Rockies to open up this 3 game set.
Take the Dodgers money line tonight.

MLB 58-53 last 111 picks +$290
1 OF 2
Game: Seattle at New York Yankees (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: New York Yankees -1.5 runs -115 (runline)
The Seattle Mariners come limping into New York with a franchise record longest 15-game losing streak. The M's simply have not been competitive. The ledger shows them being outscored by an 87-40 count, or by over 3 runs per game. Their bullpen is tired as the Mariners have allowed 46 runs in their last six games at nearly 8 per contest. The Bombers have turned things up at home where they are now 15-4 in their last 19 at the Stadium. They haven't just been winning they have been blowing teams out. The M's losing streak, where they are dropping games by 3 runs per contest, pales in contrast to the Bombers. In their last 15 home wins, the Yankees have won by an average of nearly 5 runs per game! Take the even odds with the Yankees on the runline.

3* Pittsburgh Pirates +171
A great price here on the Bucs on the road in Atlanta. The Braves played a night game last night on ESPN and lost in heart breaking fashion with a walk off in the bottom of the 9th. James McDonald is pitching very well for the Pirates right now and I think that he will keep the Pirates in this game against Hudson and the Braves. Look for a low scoring affair where the Pirates can scrape across a couple of runs and McDonald and the bullpen to get the W tonight on the road.
