Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds

I'm playing CINCINNATI. These teams have split the first two games of this series. I expect the Reds to have the advantage this evening.

While the Pirates are a respectable 17-16 on the road, the Reds are an outstanding 25-13 at home. The Pirates average 3.7 runs per game on the road. The Reds average 4.8 at home.

Admittedly, Locke has been tough lately. Indeed, he's got a 1.96 ERA his last three starts. Arroyo has arguably been even better though, as he's got a 1.66 ERA his last three starts. Arroyo has walked only two batter his last three starts, a span of more than 21 innings. On the other hand, Locke has walked 10 in his last three starts, a span of 18 innings.

While the Pirates are 3-4 when Locke starts on the road, the Reds are 7-2 (+5.1) when Arroyo starts at home.

Note that the Pirates are just 12-20 (-9) off a shutout win the past couple of seasons.

On the other hand, the Reds have been "money" off a loss in recent years. They're 106-70 (+26) the past couple of seasons off a loss, including 18-10 (+6.2) this season. I expect them to improve on those stats this evening. 8*

Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Indians
Cleveland Indians
-155
  at  5DIMES
Won
$100
I'm playing CLEVELAND. These teams have split the first two games of this series. I expect the Indians to have the advantage in this evening's rubber game.

While he doesn't have any recent wins, Masterson has been outstanding at home this season. Last time out, he allowed just one run and only two hits, while striking out 10, through seven innings. The Indians won 2-1.

Including that result, the Indians are 7-1 (+5.7) when Masterson has started at home. Masterson is 5-1 with a 2.22 ERA and 1.059 WHIP. He's averaging better than seven innings per start here and averaging better than a strikeout per inning. He's got 61 K's here vs. just 2 home runs allowed.

Although he's pitched fairly well of late, Mendoza is still 2-3 with a 4.23 ERA and 1.443 WHIP in 11 starts. The Royals are just 4-7 (-2.6) when he's taken the mound, 2-4 (-1.2) on the road.

The Indians can pull above .500 with a win here and I expect them to do just that. 8*

Seattle Mariners vs. Los Angeles Angels
Los Angeles Angels

  at  BETONLINE

$100
I'm playing on the LA ANGELS. These teams have split the first two games of this series. I expect the Angels to have the advantage this evening.

While the price is obviously pretty steep, consider that the Angels are 11-4 (+2.7) the last 15 times that they were listed as home favorites in the -200 to -225 range. Going back further finds them at 60-24 (+9) their last 84 in that role.

During that stretch, the Mariners were 30-69 (-13.6) as road underdogs in the 175 to 200 range and just 8-37 (-20) as road underdogs in the 200 to 225 range.

While the Angels hit .285 and average 4.7 runs per game at home, the Mariners hit .227 and average 3.4 runs per game on the road.

Saunders pitched well at Oakland last time out. However, he's still 1-4 with an awful 7.58 ERA and 1.868 WHIP in seven road starts. The M's were 1-6 (-4.4) in those games.

On the other hand, Wilson is 3-2 with a solid 3.04 ERA and 1.204 WHIP in seven home starts.

Wilson has dominated the Mariners over his career and is already 2-0 against them this season. Since 2011, he's 7-1 with a 2.24 ERA against them, striking out 65 in 60 innings. I expect him to continue that dominance this evening. 6*

San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants
Total
7 un-108
  at  5DIMES
Won
$100
I'm playing on SD/SF to finish UNDER the total. While neither has produced double-digits, the first two games of this series have both finished above the total. With both starters in excellent current form, I expect this afternoon's "all southpaw" finale to be the lowest-scoring of the bunch.

Stults has been an "under machine" all season and he's in outstanding form. Last time out, he tossed a complete game. He allowed just two hits and one run, earning a 2-1 victory. He's got a 1.57 ERA and 0.696 WHIP his last three starts. Not surprisingly, all three of those games stayed below the total. For the season, the UNDER is 11-2-1 when Stults has taken the mound, 7-1 away from Petco.

Bumgarner tossed seven shutout innings last time out. He gave up just two hits. He also had 10Ks and walked only one. Over his last three starts, he's got 20Ks against just three walks, recording a stingy 0.889 WHIP.

All three of those starts came on the road. However, Bumgarner has also been tough at home. In six home starts, he's got a 2.77 ERA and 1.077 WHIP. The UNDER is 4-2 when he starts here and 9-5 in his 14 starts overall.

Both teams are scoring fewer runs when playing during the day this season and I'm expecting a well-pitched affair. 9*
SERVICE BIO
Ben Burns burst onto the sports betting scene in the 1990s, first making his selections available to the public in 1998. Now entering his tenth year, Ben has become one of the most successful and well-respected handicappers on the entire Internet. From 1998 to 2006, Ben had his selections documented by the Big Guy Sports Monitor. During that time, he accumulated numerous seasonal titles in all the major sports. In fact, competing against a field of 150, Ben's NFL selections still rank as #1 of all-time there. With such a commanding lead over the field, it is highly unlikely that his all-time NFL record there will ever be matched. Like all handicappers, Ben goes through both hot and cold streaks. However, whether winning or losing, he always "tells it like it is." Perhaps more importantly, as his many fans are quick to point out, Ben's winning weeks tend to greatly outnumber his losing ones. Note that Ben followed up an extremely strong 2006 with an even better campaign in 2007! Ben is known as a "Totals Expert" and his over/under plays are highly sought after in all sports. In addition to his "total" success, Ben's "sides" are also known for their sizzling hot streaks. While he advocates playing all his selections equally, Ben's knack for nailing his "Big" plays is truly remarkable. Ben capped off a highly successful college football season by winning his Bowl Game of the Year, a 41-10 wire-to-wire destruction on Georgia over Hawaii. Ben's NFL playoffs didn't go as well though and he lost his first ever Super Bowl selection, when the Patriots were upset by the Giants. Despite that rare setback, Ben's Super Bowl record remains at 10-1 for his career. Additionally, his NFL playoff picks remain a powerful 47-22 (68%) ATS the past six years. Ben isn't just a football expert though, as his hockey, baseball AND basketball picks are also highly respected. Ben logs extremely long hours. His hard work clearly shows itself in his high quality writeups and extraordinary long-term records. If you're looking for an honest, hard-working handicapper with a documented history of success, give Ben Burns a try. We're sure that you'll be impressed!
