Re: MLB: June 18th Picks Washington -1.5 @ 2.56 pinnacle Zimmermann is 4-6, with a 3.10 ERA but is 2-0 with a very low 0.86 ERA in his 3 starts this month, as he gave up 4 hits in the 2-0 win over San Diego. He has allowed 2 runs or less in 7 of his last 8 starts, inclduing his last 2 starts at home, and has faced Baltimore once, where he allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in the 2-1 loss to them last month. Matusz is 1-1, with a 5.11 ERA as he allowed 4 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks in the 9-6 loss to Tampa Bay last Sunday. Washington have won their last 7 games, while Baltimore have lost 5 of their last 6 games, and like the Nationals to win again here as their bats have been scoring runs. Texas -1.5 @ 2.60 centrebet Harrison is 5-6, with a 3.31 ERA as he allowed 2 runs and 5 hits in the 6-1 loss to Minnesota. He has pitched well on the road, allowing just 9 runs in going 2-2 in his last 5 road starts. Harrison has a good 2.35 ERA when pitching during the day, and like him to get some run support from his bats, as they look to score off Lowe, who is 3-5, with a 4.02 ERA as he allowed 5 runs on 8 hits in the 8-3 loss to Houston. He has allowed at least 4 runs in 3 of his last 4 home games (total of 15 runs) and with Hamilton in very good batting form, like him to lead his Rangers to a win here June picks: 25-38 (-3.28) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)

Re: MLB: June 18th Picks Washington -1.5 @ 2.56 Texas -1.5 @ 2.60 Cleveland - Pittsburgh over 8.5 @ 2.19 pinnacle Carrasco is 6-3, with a 4.09 ERA and though he has won his last 2 starts, allowing just 8 hits in total, he has been average at home. He has allowed at least 4 runs in 3 of his last 4 starts, and with the Pirates having some form of late, like them to score some runs off him. Maholm is 3-7, with a 3.12 ERA and he too has pitched well in his lat starts, allowing just 4 hits in total, but he has allowed at least 3 runs in 3 of his last 4 road starts, and the Indians showed last night that they are beginning to find some form with the bat. They have seen him twice before and Maholm is 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA against them, and with the batters they have, each side is capable of scoring 4 each to send it over. Tampa Bay - Florida over 8.5 @ 1.94 pinnacle Cobb is 1-0, with a 3.57 ERA and though he has allowed just 1 run iin each of his last 2 starts, both of them were on the road, while his previous two starts where at home where he allowed 3 and 4 runs there, so can see Florida scoring some runs off him here. Nolasco is 4-2, with a 4.23 ERA and is 0-2 with a 8.02 ERA in his last 4 starts as he allowed 9 runs in the 12-9 loss to Arizona. He went 1-3 record with a 8.27 ERA in 4 interleague starts last year, and has faced TB twice before where he allowed 8 runs in his first start against them and then another 5 runs in his second start. Nolasco has won 2 of his last 3 road starts, but has allowed 12 runs in these games, so like him to get some run support, but also believe he will give up some runs in the process. Boston - Milwaukee over 8.5 @ 1.93 pinnacle Lester is 9-2, with a 3.73 ERA and has won 5 of his last 7 starts, but has allowed at least 3 runs in 5 of these starts, but has been helped by his batters who have given him some run support. He has allowed 5 and 7 runs in his last 2 home starts and like the good Brewers batting line up to score some runs here, especially as he a 4.74 ERA when pitching at night compared to a 1.95 ERA during the day. Wolf is 4-4, with a 3.20 ERA and has pitched well in 5 of his last 6 starts where he has allowed 2 runs or less. On the road he has been inconsistent, allowing 0,4,2,6,1 in his last 5 road starts, and with the inform Red Sox batters facing him, can see him allowing some runs here. Also he is 1-8 with a 5.06 ERA in 12 starts against the AL since 2007 so he has been hit in these games Cincinnati - Toronto over 8.5 @ 1.91 pinnacle Volquez is 4-2, with a 5.48 ERA and while he is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in his last 2 starts, allowing just 3 runs and 12 hits, he has a 5.19 ERA at home this year, and though he allowed just 1 run in his last home games, he did allow 3,1,6 runs in his previous home starts, and believe he will give up some runs here to Bautista and Lind. Morrow is 2-4, with a 5.63 ERA and is 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA in his last 5 starts, allowing 9 runs on 10 hits in the 16-4 loss to Boston last Saturday. He is 0-2 with a 5.29 ERA in 4 interleague road starts and casn see him giving up some runs here. Houston @ 2.19 pinnacle Rodriguez is 4-3, with a 3.13 ERA as he allowed 2 runs or less in 5 of his last 6 starts (total of 7 runs) and allowed 2 runs or less in 4 of his last 5 road starts (total of 9 runs). Like him to continue his good form here as the Astros have won 3 of their 4 meetings with the Dodgers this year, and he is 2-2 with a low 1.48 ERA in 4 starts in LA. De La Rosa is 3-0, with a 3.00 ERA and has won his last 2 starts, but has pitched just 5 innings in each of them and allowed 8 walls in these 2 starts. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks in the 10-8 win at Colorado but faces a much more conifdent Astros batting line up. Like Houston to edge this as Rodriguez has been in good form, and if De La Rosa does not go deeper into this starts, then they can attack their bullpen. June picks: 25-38 (-3.28) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
