Oakland Athletics -150
I really like the Oakland A's in this game vs the Toronto Blue Jays...the A's outscored Toronto 10-2 in winning the first three games of the series as the Blue Jays fell to 2-6 in their last eight games overall...missing E.Encarnacion is not going to help this slumping offense either...J.Samardzija will get his first start in an A's uniform and he is more than excited and ready for this start...the A's have the best record in baseball and are one of the highest scoring teams as well.

Long time follower, trying to find anyone you guys don't have here. Found this guy after a free week in July trial. Not bad so far this month:5-1. But only 24-23:+11 units on the MLB season is what he says. Let me know if I'm not allowed to post write-ups:

MLB PLAY OF THE DAY
Pittsburgh Pirates ML (-153)
Risking 3.06 to win 2 units
1:35pm start
Burnett/Locke must start
The Pirates look to sweep the Phillies today after beating them 8-2 and 3-2 in consecutive days. The Phillies have lost 9 of 11 games while the Pirates won 11 of 14. The Phillies are cold once again as they have failed to score more than 3 runs in 9 of 13 games.
Burnett goes up against his former team who know all about his tendencies. They rocked him for 7 runs and six hits in 2 innings in his last turn versus the Pirates. Locke is in a much better position to grab the win after going to 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 5 starts. Although he hasn't gotten the decisions, the Pirates have won Locke’s four last starts. The Phillies stay cold for another day. Take the Pirates.

BONUS PLAY
LA Dodgers ML (-138)
Risking 2.76 to win 2 units
4:10pm start
Beckett/Flande must start
Rough place for a pitcher like Yohan Flande to make a mark on his rookie season. Everyone knows that this is a hitter friendly ballpark and he's being thrown at the wolves here.
The Dodgers are 8-4 over Colorado so far in 2014 and they’ve won 13 of their last 19. Flande is 0-1 with a 6.10ERA in 2 starts so far this season. He gave up 4 runs against the Cards on June 25 and hasn’t made it into the 6[SUP]th[/SUP] inning yet. His Triple A numbers (2-9, 4.42ERA) aren’t positive either, but Colorado has no choice but to send him out to get slaughtered.
Beckett will look to bounce back from a poor outing after allowing 5 runs in 5 innings on Tuesday to the Indians. Prior to that he went 14 innings without giving up a run. He’s 2-1, 2.53ERA in his last 5 starts and 6 of his last 8 starts have stayed under the posted total. He’ll do his job, backed by hotter bats and a team determined to make a strong push this year headed into the All-Star Break and the post-season.

'Rubber Match'
The closing matchup of a three game series is today’s baseball betting focus as the Washington Nationals host the Chicago Cubs this afternoon at Nationals Park. Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann will toe the rubber for Matt Williams’s squad, bringing a 6-4 record to the hill with a 2.95 ERA. Zimmermann ended the month of June 3-2 but the record does not give justice to current form. The hurler had six quality starts over the month allowing 2 or less runs in each contest. Zimmermann will be matching pitches with Cubbies' right-hander Jake Arrieta, who had a perfect 4-0 month of June moving the mark to 5-1 on the year with a miniscule 1.81 ERA. A few telling baseball betting stats that leap out in this one. Washington has won 5 of it's last 7 rubber matches at Nationals Park including a perfect 2-0 handing the ball to Zimmermann. Washington is 7-3 in Zimmermann's last 10 July starts, 13-6 at home with the hurler following a winning team effort the previous day. Nats have also flourished when Zimmermann has been a home favorite of -$1.50 or more, with a 15-3 record. Those numbers are compelling reasons to back Nats w/Zimmermann but what`s eye-opening, Cubbies' Arrieta takes to the hill with a dreadful 1-9 team start record in July.

Texas Rangers vs. New York Mets
New York Mets -116
The Mets let us down on Saturday but we are going to back them again today. Even though Texas won the other night they still have only won 3 of their last 13. They won't win two in a row. Take Zack Wheeler and the Mets in this one.

2* Giants
Giants + 110, 2* - With Lincecum returning looking like he's returning to his dominant self, or at least having some nasty stuff, we'll take a shot here. Plus, the Padres just suck at hitting in general. I think Lincecum can mow through the Pads line-up with ease and my only hesitation with him is his recent workload, where he's been throwing a fair amount of pitches and working a lot of innings. Yes, Hahn is worth the short fave here and he's been solid so far this season. But regression will set in eventually and this Giants team JUST saw him recently. Adjustments made, and we're taking the better team, with equal pitchers and maybe a slight nod to Lincecum overall.

Toronto/Oakland Under 7.5 Two of the four top scoring teams in baseball, so I'm playing the Under here? Yep. Jeff Sam makes his debut for Oakland today, and you know he will be looking to impress his new teammates. Plus, the excitement for him of playing for a winner, possibly the best team in baseball? To me, all these are positives. Plus, the Blue Jays' roster is a collective 3-33 against him. Now, what about Drew Hutchinson (6-6, 3.81 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, .244 BAA), the Blue Jays starter? His numbers look very average at best, but his road numbers are very good (4-2, 2.23 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, .226 BAA). Plus, a little added motivation pitching against the big name the A's just traded for. This to me looks like a low scoring game, where I see both pitchers throwing very effectively. Play the Under here.
