Texas (979) vs. San Diego(980) - September 2, 2015 - 10:10 PM
Pick: Your pick will be graded at 5dimes @ Under 6.5 105
Expert:Ben Burns
Evaluation:Sep 2 - 10:10 PM
Star Rating:10.0
Reason For Pick:
I am playing on the UNDER. I successfully took the UNDER last night in the Giants-Dodgers game in my most recent 10* Blue Chip total play, which cashed by a landslide in a 2-1 Dodgers win. Today I am taking the UNDER in this Interleague matchup where I think oddsmakers have set the total too high for two pitchers in stellar form.
The Rangers' Cole Hamels and the Padres' Ian Kennedy combine for an ERA of fewer than 4.00 runs over their last three starts each, so don't be concerned that today's total opened at a low number by baseball standards. I think both of these guys will stay true to recent form and the UNDER will cash in.
The UNDER is 4-1-1 in Texas' last six games overall and Hamels' last three games have all fallen below the total during a stretch where he's tossed 20 strikeouts while giving up no home runs over 21 innings. Hamels also loves shutting down the Padres and the Phillies won his last eight starts against San Diego while he was in Philadelphia during games in which the under went 6-2.
Kennedy is in solid form also for San Diego with four straight quality starts and in this pitcher friendly ball park, I think we'll see this one go low again today. 10* Blue Chip
