Steep juice but worth the squeeze. Rays should have their way with Perkins, who is capable of donating runs at any time. This line up saw him a month ago and beat him up for 6 runs on 12 hits over 5 innings. Rays probably get to this number on their own.
Dodgers/Reds Over 8.5 -114
We just played this game last week, and the Dodgers won 14-1. Lowder gave up 7 runs, on 7 hits over 3.1 IP. No pretty. This ballpark is much less forgiving that Chavez. The Reds may contribute a little, but it won't take much I don't think. LAD have scored 5 or more in 6 of their last 10 games. The Reds pitching staff had a decent weekend. They only gave up 36 runs in 3 games to the Brewers.
Baltimore Orioles +112
Baz wasn't very sharp in his last start, but prior to that, he was throwing really well. Manaea can't say the same. He's been bad for a while now, and the while the O's bats aren't very hot right now, they hit lefties well, and Manaea is a soft thrower that they can get to.
Braves/Cubs Over 8.5 -110
Gausmann has been mediocre since coming over. He's either really good, or really bad. Perez is kind of in the same boat. The Cubs bang up LHP better than anyone in baseball, and the Braves have all their guys in the line up.
Kansas City Royals +136
Worth a stab for me with Wacha being on the bump. He's been able to go deeper in games lately, and thats big for the Royals whose pen is terrible. Their offense has certainly turned a corner. Too late for it to mean anything this year, but promising for the future. Astros get Alvarez back in the line up tonight, but he isn't 100%. Brown has good stuff but he struggles to control it at times. I think the Royals line up is more potent right now than Houstons.
To remove first post, remove entire topic.
