BONES BEST BET
CARDINALS ML -135 *4* BEST BET
71-39 vs 47-65 in what has been a total mismatch this series. The Cardinals have outscored the Brewers 9-0 in the first 2 games of the series. The Cardinals have gone 3 straight games without allowing a run and have won 7 of their last 9. The Brewers have dropped 7 of their last 10 games as well. Lackey for the Cards owns a 1.19 WHIP and a 2.85 ERA on the season, while Nelson for the Brewers sits at 1.23 WHIP and 3.57 ERA.
RED SOX @ TIGERS – OVER 8 -120 *3*
Verlander’s number at home have been awful this season (0-3, 7.76 ERA, 1.65 WHIP) and we see the Red Sox being able to get to him here today. His counterpart, Henry Owens only has 1 career start which came last week in a 13-3 loss to the Yankees. Both teams have been playing to a fair share of overs as of late and this aft should be no different.
BLUE JAYS ML +118 *2*
Might not be our most confident Blue Jays play in the last little while but no way we’re getting off this heater they’re on right now. Believe it or not, Estrada’s numbers are as good if not better than Tanaka’s on the season (3.40 ERA vs 3.84 ERA) and in Tanaka’s lone start against the Jays this season, he lost 6-1 going just 4 innings.
CUBS -1 -117 *3*
Giants have lost 5 of 7 and the Cubs are winners in 7 of their last 8. Cubs are hitting the ball at a great pace scoring 20 runs in their last 3 games and should keep that going Sunday. Jake Arrieta has been awesome this year with a 12-6 record and a 2.50 ERA. Easy play here for us with the better team and much better pitcher on the hill in Arrieta vs Peavy.
