MLB Betting Lines – Free Picks: Under is 7-1 in Fister’s Last Eight Starts

Gambling911.com had quite the day yesterday with an almost certain loss on the Jays/Yankees OVER 8.5 coming into the 9^th inning until a series of runs from both sides got us the win.  Our Nationals/Reds UNDER pick was on the money right down to our prediction on the final score being 1-0.

So we head into today having gone 4-0 this weekend and we are on a 12-3 run over the course of two weeks.

Our free pick and Sunday’s MLB lines appear after the hot trends.

Pitchers:

The Nationals Doug Fister is 1-0 when starting against Cincinnati with an ERA of 2.57 and a WHIP of 1.000.

The Reds Mat Latos is 3-1 when starting against Washtington with an ERA of 2.34 and a WHIP of 1.240.

The Dodgers Hyun-Jin Ryu is 3-3 when starting against San Francisco with an ERA of 3.24 and a WHIP of 1.440.

The Giants Jake Peavy is 14-2 when starting against LA Dodgers with an ERA of 2.21 and a WHIP of 0.962.

Edinson Volquez is 3-8 when starting against Colorado with an ERA of 7.80 and a WHIP of 1.974.

Franklin Morales is 0-1 when starting against PITTSBURGH with an ERA of 9.00 and a WHIP of 3.000.

San Diego's Eric Stultz is 2-1 when starting against Atlanta with an ERA of 1.93 and a WHIP of 0.964.

Atlanta's Mike Minor is 0-2 when starting against SAN DIEGO with an ERA of 4.50 and a WHIP of 1.667.

Oakland's Scott Kazmir is 7-4 when starting against Texas with an ERA of 3.22 and a WHIP of 1.209.

Teams:

The Cardinals/Cubs OVER is 9-1 this season.

The Pirates/Rockies UNDER is 4-0 this season. 

Our Pick:

Simply cannot resist the UNDER 7.5 Nationals/Reds once again.

6 of the last 8 and 5 of the last 6 in this series have stayed UNDER the current number.

Cincinnati has not score more than 3 runs in any of their last 8 games overall.  Only a single run was scored in four of those games, including the last three games.

The Nationals RH Doug Fister (9-2, 2.92 ERA) has pitched four straight wins.  The UNDER is 7-1 in his last 8 starts overall.

Fister held the Reds to two runs over seven frames to earn the win on May 20 and has an ERA of 2.57 and a WHIP of 1.000 against them.

The Reds RH Mat Latos (2-2, 3.15) is winless in his last two games and has surrendered nine runs over that period. 

Let's hope that is just a fluke.  After all, opponents are batting .194 against Latos this season.  He only gave up two or fewer runs in four of his first five outings since returning from elbow surgery and is 3-1 with a 2.34 ERA in six career starts against the Nationals.

The UNDER is 8-1 in the Nationals last 9 road games vs. a team with a winning record and is 13-3-1 in Latos' last 17 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.
