Good night last night with a 2-0 showing to bring our August record to 6-4. Let’s see what’s on tap tonight with our free picks immediately following today’s hot pitcher and team trends.
Pitchers
Pittsburgh’s Vance Worley is 2-0 when starting against San Diego with an ERA of 2.08 and a WHIP of 1.154.
The Reds Mike Leake is 3-0 when starting against Miami with an ERA of 1.93 and a WHIP of 1.393 while the Marlins Nathan Eovaldi has an ERA of 1.29 and a WHIP of 0.571. The UNDER is 3-1 in the series when either one of these two starting pitchers take to the mound.
Toronto's RA Dickey is 6-1 when starting against Detroit with an ERA of 4.09 and a WHIP of 1.473. His team is 8-1 in these starts.
Teams
Toronto is 3-0 this season against Detroit.
Free Picks
Really no other choice but to go with Toronto +124 at home vs. Detroit. Blue Jays RH R.A. Dickey (9-11, 4.03) is 6-1 when starting against Detroit with an ERA of 4.09 as posted above and the Blue Jays swept Detroit at home back in June. Dickey has only permitted 3 earned runs or fewer over his last 11 starts.
Also can’t resist Cincinnati -130
Reds RH Mike Leake (9-9, 3.46) owns a 3-0 record with a 1.93 ERA in three career starts against the Marlins. He has only allowed a single run over his last two starts.
Marlins RH Nathan Eovaldi (5-6, 4.22 ERA) pitched well against the Reds at home the other night but an UNDER here simply is not a bet we can make with Eovaldi getting knocked around for 18 runs in 16 1/3 innings over his previous three outings.
The Reds are 9-1 vs. the Marlins in their last 10 meetings.
