Rounding the bases: The best bets in the bigs

Every week we take a look at the hottest and coldest teams as well as the best over and under bets in major league baseball.

Hot team: Milwaukee Brewers
Last week: 5-1
Season record: 74-72
Upcoming schedule: at Pirates, at Nationals

Skinny: The Brewers have won 20 of their 26 games to shoot up the NL standings and challenge for a playoff spot. Reigning league MVP Ryan Braun belted a pair of homers Sunday versus the Mets to reach the 40-home run plateau for the first time in his career.

Cold team: Pittsburgh Pirates
Last week: 1-5
Season record: 73-72
Upcoming schedule: at Cubs, vs. Brewers, at Astros

Skinny: The Pirates are in a free fall, dropping eight of their last nine contests. Surprisingly, Pittsburgh is still within striking distance of a wild-card spot and can make a run if it can find a way to turn things around.

Over team: Colorado Rockies
Last week: 5-1
Season O/U record: 73-67-5
Upcoming schedule: at Giants, vs. Diamondbacks

Skinny: Colorado played over the total in five of its six games last week against San Francisco and San Diego. The Rockies have one of the better offenses in the league, but rank dead last in the bigs in ERA, making them a popular over choice for bettors down the stretch.

Under team: Boston Red Sox
Last week: 5-1
Season O/U record: 71-70-6
Upcoming schedule: at Rays, vs. Orioles

Skinny: The Red Sox played under the total in five of six games last week against the Yankees and Blue Jays. Boston’s lineup is loaded with inexperienced call-ups and its offense has struggled as a result.

My gut tells me that not wanting to endure the embarrassment of losing 100 games (again), Houston is going to win every one of their remaining 15 down the stretch. Bet big on that and remember, you heard it here first!

Analysis:

Play On: Chicago White Sox w/Sale

Note: The White Sox put the wraps on a three-game series with the Red Sox Wednesday night when they send super-surging Chris Sale to the mound at Comiskey Park.  Sale takes the hill with team start wins in each of his last five starts while posting a sharp 1.14 ERA in those games.  He's also in commanding KW form with 24 strikeouts and 3 walks in his last three efforts.

With that look for Sale to improve to 9-1 in his career team starts during the month of May here tonight.  We recommend a 1-unit play on the White Sox.  Thank you and good luck as always.   

Don't make a move on Wednesday's NBA playoff game between the Heat and Pacers until you check out an Awesome Angle inside the game that has bagged the cash 100% of the time in opening games of a series since 1997.  Marc has it and you can too - if you act now!
