Phillies: The Nationals are a bit hot lately, having won 6 of their last 7, but have lost 2 of Strasburg’s last 3 starts and he simply has dropped into the class of a very, very average pitcher. I have him at 4-4 h2h with his opponents this year and just 3-5 in quality starts. Hamels is a different animal. He is 6-3 both h2h and quality starts, no less the pitcher than he ever was. It is worth noting that although the Nationals are 6-2 versus lefties this year they have not faced one in almost 2 weeks and the group they have faced to date is not in a class with Hamels. Plus 142 with a guy like that is a tremendous value.
Twins: Definitely going out on a limb here because Sale is one of the top guns in the game and May is not really very good, BUT: he may not need to be against the ChiSox pathetic offense, and the Twinkies could give Sale his roughest test to date. The Twinkies have been a lefty starter’s worst nightmare this year with a 13-5 record, 9 straight wins and currently producing 8.5 EARNED offensive runs per 9 innings. At +178 let’s give it a go.
Giants: I wasn’t kidding yesterday when I said the Rockies were the worst team in MLB this year and I am willing to fade them anytime they put a stiff like Lyles on the hill versus a hot offense behind a class rookie like Heston, rolling along with an above average rating per my program. No reason to get in front of this Giants freight train right now, rather, it is a good time to be on board and go along for the ride.

Strasburg an average pitcher? Come on key. Not his fault his defense sucks, he has close to a .400 babip and 60% strand rate.
My grading and rating program is independent of fielding as well. You are still drinking the Strasburg Kool-Aid (probably the Harper Kool-Aid too, but that is a different subject), in love with a name and media rather than actual performance. Believing what your buddies believe and the major media claim is a dangerous way to handicap. Offensive edge to the Nationals, but it does not overcome the advantage Hamels holds over Strasburg. To say that the Phillies, with Hamels on the hill, do not stand a 41.3% chance of winning any game is ludicrous.

Wasnt knocking your pick, I dont know if I like it or not havent really thought about it, I certainly wouldnt lay the juice on the Nats today though. Just pointing out that strasburg is definitely not an average pitcher. I'll agree he has looked very average this year but remember he was dealing with changed mechanics from his ankle injury early on . He also has to deal with one of the highest babip in the league and as well one of the lowest strand rates among starters. Things will turn for him sooner than later and he has been a beast at home throughout his career.

Thanks Key. Took parlay 3 on your rec. Giants phillies and twins 100 to win 850. Huge on 1st 5 on rangers. I think the Rangers will tag CC early before the yankee before they realize wtf happened. Good Luck everyone

1. Yes he has looked average and that is why I called him average. If it walks like duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it is probably a duck. 2. We have no way of knowing if it will turn for him today, next week or next year. We have only the evidence of what he has shown us so far, and we are wagering on TODAY, not the future. Looks to me like I am wagering against a very average pitcher.
