3k Minnesota Under 9 -106 (Lost)

Neither offense has been that good this year overall and that has me looking at the Under here. Rodon does have a 4.34 ERA at home this year, but his home starts have averaged just 6.57 rpg and we have a Minnesota team that has averaged just 2.67 rpg in Milone’s three road starts this year, plus Minnesota has hit just .210 vs lefties away from home. Milone has a 5.51 ERA on the road, but the White Sox have hit just .222 vs lefties in their last 10 games and just .234 vs them at home. I see the pitching winning out in this one.

3k San Francisco -1.5 +117 (Easy Blowout Winner 8-4)

The A’s took a pair on the road against the Giants and have a shot to win the series. The problem for Oakland is that they’re throwing a rookie pitcher against the ace of the Giants rotation. Bumgarner has dropped his last two but pitched well enough to win in both of those games. Facing a guy with a sub-2 ERA is a daunting task for any team. For a young A’s team that struggles to put runs on the board, it’s a death knell. Bumgarner gets the win and the Giants prevail.

3k Seattle -112 (Easy Winner 5-3)

Friday Non Member Power Baseball / Thursday Non Member Results (2-1) 67% +$3,330

This one early.... should have a few later on this afternoon my friend....

3k Cleveland +111

Josh Tomlin has been just good enough in all of his starts this year. He doesn’t completely shut down the opponents but he doesn’t need too, especially with the way the Indians have been playing. Twelve straight wins is no joke and we’ll see if they can extend it to 13 on Thursday, because I think they are leaving with a win on Thursday. Either way, they’ll get the win on Friday.

The Cleveland Indians are:

• 6-0 in their last 6 road games vs. a right-handed starter.
  
• 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

The Toronto Blue Jays are:

• 1-4 in Stroman’s last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
  
• 1-4 in Stroman’s last 5 starts.
• 2-5 in Stroman’s last 7 Friday starts.

Saturday Non Member Power Baseball

Here we go my friends....

3k Toronto -1.5 +118

I am siding with the Blue Jays in this matchup. Estrada is a talented pitcher that doesn’t get enough credit, posting a stifling 2.12 ERA at home this season with a dominating .138 opponent batting average, so I am confident he can silence the Indians lineup. The Indians will either go by a bullpen by committee start, or call up a starter from the Minors, so either way the advantage heavily swings in the Blue Jays favor in this match up. The Blue Jays had one of the highest scoring offenses in the Majors in the month of June and I think they can rally for a win in this one, putting an end to the Indians winning streak.

3k Seattle -146

The Orioles were sizzling as the month of June drew to a close and hopes that July is as successful. Baltimore has one of the best lineups, top to bottom, in the major leagues and can punish weak pitching. Seattle has some solid pieces but they need to string some wins together to make up ground in the AL West. Wilson isn’t a front line starter and that makes things tough for the Orioles here. Paxton has struggled but he pitches well at Safeco Field. The Mariners get on the board with a victory in this contest.

Here we go my friends.....3k Toronto +124

I am taking the Blue Jays in this one. Kluber has a career ERA just under five against the Blue Jays, while Happ has a solid 3.38 career ERA against the Indians, so I feel comfortable siding with him. Also Happ gets a ton of run support, with the Jays scoring an average of 6.06 runs in Happ’s starts this season, so I am confident he can limit the damage to the Indians while the Jays offense does enough to secure the victory.

3k Texas -1.5 +106

This is an easy pick. Cole Hamels is pitching as well as any pitcher in the American League. Kyle Gibson pitched well in his latest, but he still only has one win on the year. The Rangers have been the best team in the American League all year while Minnesota has been the worst. Let’s take Hamels and the Rangers on the road.

3k LA Angels +105

I Like the Angels here and really like the matchup of Tropeano over Moore. Matt Moore has struggled for the most part this year and while he has pitched better of late and has good numbers vs the Halos, I still feel that a rejuvenated LA offense can tag him for some runs in this one, especially since they hit .298 off of lefties on the road. The Rays hit just .209 vs righties at home and will have a tough time getting many runs off of Tropeano, who has been solid overall this year and comes in with a 2.41 ERA in his last three starts. Look for the Angels to steal one here.


3k Chicago White Sox +113

CC Sabathia has been one of the feel good stories this year in major league baseball. After admitting himself into a treatment facility for alcohol on the last day of the season last year, he has responded with a great year on the mound. Sure, he doesn’t have a whole lot of wins to show for it, but a 3.17 ERA is something to be proud of. I wonder if the Yanks fall out of playoff contention if they will consider getting rid of Sabathia. There are certainly some contenders who would appreciate having his veteran arm down the stretch.

5k LA Dodgers -1.5 +120

I like the Way the Dodgers are playing right now, especially their offense and they should have a field day vs Yovani Gallardo, who has a 7.38 ERA on the road and a 6.05 ERA in three lifetime starts in this park. The Dodgers are peaking right now and they know that the Giants are hurting, so they need to grab all the wins they can at this moment. The Orioles are not the same team on the road as they are at home and their pitching has been really bad overall of late. Look for the Dodgers to grab a big home win in this one.

Tuesday Non Member Power Baseball

Only one early game today and here is how I see it my friend....

3k Chicago Cubs -1.5 -113

The best pitchers are called stoppers and they help stop losing streaks. Amazingly, Brandon Finnegan is 0-8 in his last eight starts after the Reds lost their previous game. That’s truly amazing. If he’s going to step up and become an all star level pitcher (which some people think he can be) than he’s going to have to improve on that. Until then I’ll be betting against him in these situations. Let’s take the Cubs on the run line!!!

The Chicago Cubs are:

• 17-7 in their last 24 games vs. a left-handed starter.
• 59-22 in their last 81 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
  

The Cincinnati Reds are:

• 16-50 in their last 66 vs. a team with a winning record.
• 1-4 in Finnegans last 5 road starts vs. a team with a winning record.
• 0-8 in Finnegans last 8 starts following a team loss in their previous game.

Adding Tuesday Non Member Plays

3k Philadelphia -102

The Phillies are starting to play a little better ball again and I like them on Tuesday. Zach Elfin has pitched better in each successive start of his young career after getting shelled in his inaugural start. I think he keeps it going against a very suspect Braves team. Let’s take the Phillies at home.

3k Oakland -118

The Twins beat the Rangers twice over the weekend but their bats forgot to wake up for the opener Monday. Milone hasn’t been very good this season and spent some time in the minors before being recalled. Manaea stifled the Giants last week in his first start off the DL with a pronator strain. If he beat a team that was on a roll, it’s going to be a lot easier facing the Twins. Oakland beats Minnesota for the fifth straight time in this one.

3k LA Dodgers -142

The Orioles were cruising before running into a buzzsaw in the Pacific Northwest. Baltimore can’t afford to let that slide continue much longer if they plan to hold the AL East lead. Los Angeles is rolling at the moment and is reestablishing itself as a playoff contender. Tillman was pitching well before taking the loss in his last start. He has a tough task ahead of him here against a veteran Dodgers team. Maeda has pitched well, even though his home record doesn’t show it. The Dodgers get the victory in this contest.
