Padres minus $1.05 hosting Giants What’s worse than backing the Padres? It’s taking the Giants on the road. I want no part of that especially at Petco Park when facing Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin is a bum on the road with a 6.96 ERA, but he’s the nuts at home. No pitcher has been more effective […]
Mariners plus $1.35 at Yankees The favored Yankees are ripe to lose here returning home after being on the road for 10 days and off their wildest game of the year. It’s understandable if the Yankees’ concentration level is off following their bitter series with the Tigers that culminated in yesterday’s 10-6 Yankees loss where […]

Nationals minus $1.15 hosting Angels This is a cheap enough price to back the Nationals and Gio Gonzalez at home where he has a 1.95 ERA. Gonzalez is in excellent form, too, going 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA in his last three starts. Mike Trout is only 1-for-13 lifetime against Gonzalez. Angels starter, lefty Tyler […]
Pirates at Blue Jays Under 9 even money Scoff at these starting pitchers if you will, but they’ve been pitching pretty well. Chad Kuhl is below the radar after a bad start. However, he’s posted a 2.93 ERA during his last eight starts. He’ll hold an element of surprise since the Blue Jays have never […]
