Nelly's 1* #957/958 ‘OVER 8.5’ Miami Marlins (Volquez) at Pittsburgh Pirates (Cole) 6:05 PM CT
Edinson Volquez incredibly threw a no-hitter in his last start on Saturday, a rare feat in itself but even more surprising given how much the veteran
right-hander has struggled in his first season with the Marlins. Volquez has allowed at least three runs in six of his last 10 starts and his walk rate
is one of the highest in baseball at 4.8 BB/9. His road ERA is 5.12 this season and left-handed hitters have given him a lot of problems.
Pittsburgh’s typical lineup vs. right-handers includes four left-handed sticks led by Gregory Polanco in the middle of the lineup. Despite a
disappointing start to the season the Pirates are only 5.5 games out of the NL Central lead and Pittsburgh has scored 42 runs over the past six
games for a big offensive boost. Needing extra-innings each of the past two days in Baltimore puts some strain on a decent bullpen with back-to-
back defeats, using six relievers last night and four on Tuesday. A lot will be asked of ace Gerrit Cole Thursday night but after a breakout season
in 2015 Cole hasn’t been the same pitcher. He struggled with injury last season and his numbers are marginal through 12 starts with a 4.27 ERA
alongside a FIP that is a half a run higher as well. His strikeout rate has fallen to just 7.6 K/9 and he has allowed 16 runs over his last three starts.
The Miami offense has been heating up batting .281 with a .815 OPS over the past 13 games, posting 18 of the team’s 69 home runs in that run.
These teams combined for 31 runs over three games in late April and Miami remains one of the league’s top ‘over’ teams at 34-21-3 on the
season. Miami went 2-0 vs. Cole last season and Volquez is posting a 1.64 WHIP in his road starts while coming off a historic performance that
could leave him taxed for his next outing while the Marlins own a 5.46 bullpen ERA in road games this season.

ESPN Smash Pass - Rickenbach MLB Thursday 10* Top Play OVER the total in New York Yankees vs
Boston Red Sox @ 7:05 ET - Many books opened this total up at an 8.5 yesterday afternoon but the
betting markets are telling the odds makers they don't know what they're doing as the markets have
forced the odds makers down to a 7.5 with this total as of Thursday AM. Long-time followers know how
I feel about the value of the odds makers compared to the betting markets! The point is that we're
getting extreme line value here with this big downward move on this total. Yes I know David Price is on
the mound for the BoSox but he has allowed 14 earned runs on 32 hits in 18 innings of work spanning
his last 3 starts against the Yankees. Also, all 3 of those outings came after the midway point of last
season so it's not like it is ancient history by any stretch of the imagination. Price will be opposed by the
Yankees Michael Pineda. The Yanks right-hander has allowed 7 earned runs on 13 hits including 4
homers in his last 2 home starts versus the Red Sox. Also, Pineda comes into this outing off of a rough
start in his most recent outing. The over was 5-2 in the Yankees last 7 games before yesterday's game
stayed just under the total. The over is 19-10 in Yanks divisional games this season. The over is also 13-7
in Boston's last 20 road games. More of the same here as both pitchers struggled against lineups that
have fared very well against them in recent meetings. 10* OVER the total in the New York Yankees game

Chicago Cubs @ 8:05 ET - The Rockies are a big dog here despite being 21-10 on the road this season. I
understand the Cubs have Jon Lester on the mound and the veteran southpaw is known for pitching well
at home. However, Tyler Chatwood gets the start for the Rockies and the right-hander went a fantastic
8-1 with a stellar 1.69 ERA away from home last season and is 3-3 with a 2.68 ERA on the road this
season. Incredibly, opponents are batting just .168 against Chatwood when he faces them away from
Coors Field. As you can see, Chatwood's overall numbers this season and last season have certainly been
impacted by the fact he pitches his home games at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The fact is that Chatwood
has been dominant in road outings and I expect that to continue here. The Cubs are only 5-7 in their last
12 games. In those dozen games, the Cubbies had just 2 big games at the plate. In the other 10 games,
the Cubs averaged just 5.1 HITS per game. As you can see, Chicago really hasn't been hitting the ball well
at all and Chatwood is 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA in his two career starts against the Cubs. The Rockies have
won 5 of their last 6 games and have averaged 7 runs and 11 hits per game in those 6 games. Look for
them to stay hot here as Lester has allowed 9 earned runs on 13 hits (including 3 homers) in last 2 starts
and those outings have spanned just 9 and 1/3 innings! 10* COLORADO ROCKIES money line

NBC Blowout Rout - Rickenbach NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Nashville Predators Money Line (+) @
Pittsburgh Penguins @ 8 ET - The Predators have outshot the Penguins in every single game in this
series. The Pens are 0 for 13 on the power play in the last 3 games. The Preds are 4 for 12 on the power
play in this series. Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne has proven he's "back" in this series and he's highlymotivated to record his first ever win at Pittsburgh. The Predators have looked to have a little more
energy than the Penguins and a little extra "step" on them in the last two games and they certainly have
all the momentum back in this series. No Stanley Cup champion has repeated in the past twenty years.
The point is that it is not easy and the way the Preds have taken back momentum in this series, and
knowing that the Penguins can't help but now have some self doubt, I expect the Predators to "steal"
Game 5 on the road. All the pressure is truly on the Penguins here and it is tough to play with pressure.
Not only the pressure of being the defending Stanley Cup champs but also the pressure of now trying to
defense home ice even though they lost the last two games by a combined score of 9 to 2 in Nashville. In
my opinion, all things considered, the Penguins are very over-priced here and there is tremendous
underdog line value with the Predators. Look for the Preds to improve to a perfect 4-0 in this post-
season when tied in a playoff series. 10* NASHVILLE PREDATORS on the money line
