Only 0-1 yesterday, with a bit of bad luck. But that's OK, as we are going big tonight hopefully with a 3-0 sweep. GL all
25-17-1 5-2-1 POD
1. Baltimore/TB over 4.5 1st 5 POD
Both pitchers have been hitable all season and even more so lately. Hammel is 5-1 overall but the ERA not so great at 4.93. His offense is averaging 7 runs in his starts behind him. Over his last 3 his ERA is over 7, and his team is scoring 8 runs per game. He gives up almost 6 RPG at home. He usually gets hit early. Hellickson is 1-2 with an ERA of 5.25. His WHIP is actually better than Hammel, which means he is giving up a high RISP average against. His last three is also bad, giving up over 7 RPG, while his offense is scoring almost 8. The over is 6-0 combined in last 3
2. Texas-130 first 5
Texas is the best team in baseball, not just the American league right now. I believe they are tired of hearing about Detroit and how they are going to win the World Series. It sounds dumb, but believe me these kinds of things matter. They have the better starter (Tepesch vs Porcello IMO), and they are at home, where they are 12-4. Porcello (1-2 6.68 ERA) has pitched better lately, but if you look at who he's faced it hasn't exactly been great offenses. Tapesch has struggled lately with an ERA of almost 6, but he has still been better throughout the year. Detroit is less than 500 on the road, and Texas is not a good place to get it going.
3.Colorado/SF under 5.5 first 5
Bumgarner and De La Rosa has pitched much better than their results lately. They have both had some bad defense behind them costing them runs. Neither team hits left handed pitchers well, and although this game is at Coors field, I don't see a lot of baserunners early. Both pitchers have a WHIP near 1. The only thing that makes me nervous, is how many runs the Giants offense is giving up lately. That is one reason I like first 5, because if Bumgarner struggles early, he might have to take one for the team later.
Strong leans tonight
