By Stephen Nover Rockies minus $1.48 hosting Pirates (Early Start) It seems the last time the Pirates were a road favorite was when Honus Wagner was their shortstop. The Pirates haven’t been road chalk all season and they certainly aren’t here at Coors Field. Colorado is a fairly large-sized home favorite. But not large enough as […]
By Stephen Nover Nationals minus $1.15 at Marlins Patrick Corbin is a quality lefty. He began this season very cold. But he’s turned things around with a 2.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP during his past three starts. Miami is 8-15 versus lefty starters. They rank third-from-the-bottom in the National League in slugging percentage against southpaw […]
By Stephen Nover Royals plus $1.12 at Rangers What if I told you there was a team starting a pitcher today and that team was 1-12 during that pitcher’s last 13 starts, yet that team still was favored? It’s true. That team is the Rangers, who have the third-worst record in baseball and are 5-21 […]
By Stephen Nover Mets minus $1.07 hosting Braves Please, a little more respect for Marcus Stroman and the Mets here. The Mets, after all, own the best home record in the majors at 21-8. The Braves are three games below .500 on the road and three games below .500 on the season, while New York is 37-30 […]
By Stephen Nover Indians plus $1.12 at Pirates The Pirates are favored for the first time this month. Sign me up for the underdog, which in this case is Cleveland. Pittsburgh is going for a three-game sweep of the Indians. I don’t see it happening. The Indians blew Saturday’s game. It was a rare slip […]
By Stephen Nover A’s plus $1.25 at Yankees I don’t get the respect for the Yankees with this line. Oakland is 12-2 this month, winners of six straight. The A’s, 43-27, haven’t started a season this hot in 31 years. The Yankees are one game above .500 at home. They have lost seven of the […]
