Posted YTD: (6-1-0) +$690 (ALL Posted SU Plays NO O/U's)
*Monday JULY 1st!*
Rays (Moore) 340/200
-- Tampa Bay just beat Verlander and then took the series from Detroit at home. Now they're back on the road where they are below average (18-21). BUT... there is a reason that juice is so high!
Reasons why Rays win tomorrow.....
1) They've won the last FIVE in a row IN Houston.
2) STRONG Pitcher advantage (Moore > Kueshel)
- Moore's 2013 AWAY Stats: 5-1, 3.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, .222 BAA
- Kueshel's 2013 HOME Stats: 3-2 5.20 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, .299 BAA
3) Better Bats AND they Hit Lefties MUCH (Kueshel) Better than Right's...
- TB vs Lefty's: (.283, .345, 5.50 R/9) > TB vs Right's (.241, .317, .433)
4) Tampa is still in the thick of the Playoff Race trying to catch the Red Sox and O's, only 2.5 GB from 1st Place in their division, while Houston is where they always seem to be lately, the cellar.
One or two more plays and write-ups tomorrow... BOL Everyone!
Below is my History of Posted Picks (Just started posting this weekend, so Current YTD is accurate.)
(1st and 2nd Day Posting)
Weekend Write-Ups & Results.....
Saturday (4 Plays) 3-1 +190
STL (Wainwright) 125/100 CLE (Jimenez) 115/100SD (Stultz) 110/100
COL (De La Rosa) 108/100
Sunday (3 Plays) 3-0 +$500
BAL (Tillman) 270/200-- Kuroda is a better pitcher than Tillman. But, I believe the healthy Baltimore bats are MUCH stronger than the depleted Yankee line-up. If Tillman can keep the ball in the park for most of the game, and somewhat control the cold Cano (even if he has to walk him), I see the O's bats coming to life for a win in the finale.
Texas (Darvish) 290/200
-- Darvish has been slumping lately. First the first time in his MLB career, in fact. But most of his L's have came from lack of run support. He's pitched well, and Texas bats are beginning to show some signs of life after sweeping the defending champ Cards. I know Latos has been a beast, but I see Cincy on a little slump (haven't been able to string together a good streak recently) and I see Texas come out with the victory in this one as Darvish gets his first deserved W in a while.
KC (Santana) 115/100
-- Santana has been hot lately and is having one of his best seasons of his career (2.73 ERA, 84/18 K/BB ratio, 1.01 WHIP) and has pitched 5 Quality Starts in a row in his last five. Going with the better Pitcher in this one. Liking the over too, but going to stay with SU bets only for now since I was lose O/U's. IF Santana keeps the ball in the park, then KC will win this one.
