Kevin's Pick(s):
I picked up a winner with the under as Richards throws a complete game shutout in a 5-0 Angels win.
2 UNIT = Houston Astros @ Philadelphia Phillies - OVER 7.5 RUNS (-110)
Listed Pitchers: Keuchel vs Kendrick
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.82 units)
-- No write up today, and just the one play as Kyle doesn't see anything he likes

Who's Hot - AL
By Mike Rose
VegasInsider
There are only around 50 games left in the baseball's regular season, and it's tough to believe that the campaign has gone by this quickly. MLB betting fanatics have certainly been having a field day with some of the American League teams this year, and these are the three who have given you the most bang for your buck.
Baltimore Orioles (63-48, +$2,029) – We're not really all that sure how the O's are doing all of this. They really haven't gotten much this year out of J.J. Hardy or Chris Davis or Manny Machado, yet they still rank second in the league in home runs (thank you, Nelson Cruz) and 12th in run production on average. There isn't a legitimate ace pitcher on this team, and though Zach Britton has been good in relief, the rest of this bullpen is only so-so. Then again, maybe that's why the oddsmakers keep making Baltimore a dog on the road! Logic would tell you that the Orioles really shouldn't be able to win the AL East this year, but they really could. They're 33-23 on the road this year, and virtually all of the damage they have done for bettors has come away from Camden Yards. Winning those close games is what really makes the difference, especially on the road. Baltimore is doing just that.
Los Angeles Angels (67-44, +$1,538) – The Tigers went out and got David Price, and the A's have been doing all they can to go pitcher for pitcher with every team in the American League (more on them in a minute). Yet it's the Angels who are really flying high at the moment as the second best money team in the AL West. The Halos are just a game back of Oakland for the best record in baseball, and there is no doubt that they have the horses to get the job done. Sending out there Jered Weaver and Garrett Richards in the first two games of any short series is as good as anything that any team will be able to do, but beyond that, we have our concerns. The difference? Los Angeles can mash with any team in the game.
Oakland Athletics (68-43, +$1,053) – Pitching wins in the postseason, and that's why the A's have completely reworked their rotation. They have Jon Lester and Jeff Samardzija to build up the top of that rotation for the playoffs, and Sonny Gray as a third option isn't too shabby either. Our concern? How much will giving up Yoenis Cespedes really end up costing Oakland come the postseason? It's not often that you see a team give up its leadoff hitter in a trade to try to get better, but the Athletics did just that. They've still statistically got one of the best offenses in the league, but can it hold up? This pitching will do what it can otherwise, but there's still a long road ahead yet for Oakland.

BOB BALFE
HOUSTON ASTROS -110
(Keuchel/Kendrick)
For starters this Phillies team is in a bad spot. From top to bottom this lineup has been as poor as you can get and they will be facing an Astros team that might have one of the most underrated pitchers in all of baseball in Dallas Keuchel. The Phillies are not putting up runs while the Astros are. This is not a good Philadelphia team and the fans have had about enough of them including the management who decided to not make any moves at the trade deadline. Take Houston.

BONES BEST BET
TIGERS ML -120 *5* BEST BET
Prize acquisition david Price takes the hill for the first time for the Tigers as he faces a familiar foe. Price has been a beast this season pitching at least seven innings in each of his last ten starts and eight innings or more in eight of the last ten starts. This group of Yankees do not have impressive numbers against the big lefty and should not put any blemishes on his season totals of a WHIP of 1.05 and ERA of 3.11. The Tigers also don’t kind playing on the road as they are a solid 31-21 this season. Hiroki Kuroda starts for the Yankees and is a solid pitcher but can be hittable at times and should not be able to hang with Price here tonight.
PADRES ML +116 *3*
The Padres have found a groove of late winning 5 of their past 6 games against two strong teams in St. Louis and Atlanta. Hahn for the Padres has been lights out this season with a 1.02 WHIP and a 2.01 ERA. Additionally Hahn has been incredible on the road with a 4-0 record a 0.92 WHIP and a 1.50 ERA. On the flip side Phil Hughes has not been good of late with a 1.50 WHIP and a 5.62 ERA. Hughes also owns a 5.51 ERA at home this season. Two teams with similar records, this game should be closer to a pick ‘em.
ROYALS ML -116 *4*
Kansas City is clearly a better team than the Diamondbacks, and they come in having won 4 of their past 5 games. On the hill for the Royals is Danny Duffy who has been incredible this year with a 1.12 WHIP and a 2.42 ERA – and over his past 3 starts just a 0.93 ERA. Duffy also owns better road stats with a 2.22 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP on the season. Miley meanwhile has decent stats on the season but has struggled at home with a 5.45 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP in Arizona this season.
ANGELS @ DODGERS – UNDER 6.5 -130 *3*
Kershaw is Kershaw, don’t expect him to give up more than 2 runs. Meanwhile Santiago for the Angels has been great of late with a 0.86 WHIP and a 2.20 ERA over his past 3 starts. These teams come in hovering around the 7 run per game mark over their past 10 games. Put these two pitchers together and we see that number dropping.
BRAVES TEAM TOTAL UNDER 2.5 -135 *2*
Hernandez has gone 14 straight starts of 7+ innings of 2 or less runs. The Braves over their last 5 games are averaging just 1.80 runs for – match that up with Felix and we’re looking at maybe 1 run for the Braves.
RED SOX @ CARDINALS – OVER 7.5 -110 *3*
Both offenses are getting hot. The Red Sox have went over in 2 straight games and have scored 15 runs over the past 3 games. The Cards have went over in 4 of 5 and have scored 22 runs their last 4 games. De La Rosa has a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP his last 4 games and an ERA over 6.00 and WHIP over 1.60 on the road this year. Lynn has a low ERA this year, but his WHIP is high. He has a 1.31 WHIP on the year which isn’t great. The numbers show he should be giving up more runs and the Red Sox hot bats should take advantage of Lynn today.
TIGERS ML -120 *5* BEST BET
