Cincinnati - Houston over 8.5 @ 2.10 pinnacle Bailey starts for the Reds and though it is his first start for the season, he has not been that good over his career, going 16-16 with a 5.09 ERA in 56 starts. The Astros can hit them and like them to do it here. Myers starts for Houston and he has struggled of late, going 1-1, with a 3.72 this season but allowed 4 runs in the 5-0 loss to Milwaukee. He is 1-3 with a 4.31 ERA in his last 5 starts against Cincinnati, and like this line up to score a few runs on him Detroit - NY Yankees under 8.5 @ 2.25 pinnacle Porcello is 1-0 with a low 1.83 ERA in his last 3 starts and is coming off a good last start where he allowed 2 runs in the 3-2 loss to Cleveland. He allowed 4 hits in the 2-0 win over NY last year, in his last home start against them, and with the good form he is in, like him to do well again here as the Yankees bats are not hitting well. Burnett is 4-1 with a 3.93 ERA and he allowed 3 runs in the 10-6 win over Detroit last month. Detroit bats are also finding it hard to hit the ball, and with two pitchers in good form, and two sets of bats who are out of form, then the under looks good here. NY Mets @ 2.04 pinnacle While Pelfrey has steruggled this year, he does a very good home record, going 4-0 with a 2.20 ERA in his last 7 starts at home, including going 1-0 with a 2.92 ERA in 2 starts this season. He has pictched 3 times against San Francisco at home and is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in these 3 home starts. While Sanchez has pitched well of late, he did allow 1 run on 2 hits but also 6 walks in the 2-1 win at Washington. He has not fared well against the Mets as he is 0-1 with a 4.40 ERA in his last 5 starts against them. Though they are not hitting well, like the Mets to lift for this game to avoide the sweep on the back of a very good home pitcher Florida -1.5 @ 2.30 pinnacle Johnson is 3-0, with a very low 0.88 ERA as he has allowed just 4 runs and 18 hits in his 6 starts this season. he gave up 5 htis in the 4-3 loss to Cincinnati and is 1-1 with a 2.93 ERA in 4 starts against St Louis. Florida's bats are hitting well and like them to get to Westbrook who is 2-2, with a 6.53 ERA. He has pitched well recently but doubt that he can stop the form of the Marlins who have won 7 of their last 10 road games. They have the better pitcher and the in-form bats, so like them to continue their success here. Boston - LA Angels under 8.5 @ 2.25 pinnacle Lackey is 2-3, with a 5.65 ERA but is coming off allowing both runs in the 2-0 loss to Seattle. He has given up just 3 runs in his last 3 starts, and has pitched well against his old club the Angels, going 4-0 with a 2,45 ERA in 4 starts and led Boston to a 7-0 win over them two weeks ago. He is opposed by Pineiro who allowed 1 run on 4 hits in the 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay in his first start for the season. They have gone under the total in 5 of the 7 games they have played so far this season, and with the way these two pitchers have been going, can see them containing both sets of batters Kansas -1.5 @ 2.85 pinnacle Chen is 3-1, with a 4.04 ERA and like him to bounce back from allowing 9 runs and 15 hits in his last 2 starts against a Baltimore side that do not tend to hit left handed pitching well. He is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 2 starts against them and expect him to get some run support as they have been hitting well of late, and they are tough to beat at home, going 13-6 so far this season. Tillman starts for Baltimore and though he has pitched better lately, like the Royals to get to him Oakland - Cleveland over 7.5 @ 2.00 pinnacle Anderson is 2-2, with a 2.95 as he allowd 7 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks in the 11-2 loss to Texas, and it does not get any easier as Cleveland have hit left-handed pitching pretty well this season. Gomez is 0-1, with a 7.20 ERA in 2 starts this season, as he allowed 3 runs on 10 hits against Detroit. Expect Oakland to score a few runs here as he does not look up to MLB standard. A low total here which both teams are capable of scoring on these pitchers to send it over May picks: 6-10 (-1.98) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
