The Good:
STL (-152)
Lyons has a 1.29 ERA and 0.57 WHIP in his two starts. SF continues to struggle offensively on the road.
The Bad: Fading Hellickson (TB)
CLE (-125)
McAlister has a 2.16 ERA, 0.99 WHIP at HOME. CLE has won 4 of McAlister’s 5 HOME starts. Hellickson has won just 1 of 6 AWAY starts – and he allowed 8 ER in that one win @ BAL! CLE is 13-5 when FAVE HOME. TB is 5-12 when DOG AWAY.
The Ugly: Fading De La Rosa (COL)
LAD (+124)
De La Rosa is 0-8
lifetime in 10 starts vs. LAD. Ryu
already won the first match-up vs. De La Rosa @ LAD, 6-2, earlier this
season. [O/U: LAD vs. COL has gone OVER in 9 of the last 10
match-ups. I’m not playing it, but just
throwing it out there for anyone who likes playing totals. Even the Kershaw and Greinke games both ended
up in totals of 12 and 13, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the trend continues.]
