MLB: August 9th picks

[blackcrow]

Florida - Atlanta over 8.5 @ 2.07 pinnacle Hensley is 1-4, with a 4.46 ERA as he allowed 6 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks in the 7-4 loss to St Louis. Prior to that he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits in the 5-0 loss to Atlanta, where Beachy was the opposing pitcher. Beachy is 5-2, with a 3.49 ERA as he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in the 6-4 win over Washington, and has allowed 11 runs in his last 3 road starts. He gave up just 2 hits in the 5-0 win over Florida, but with this match up coming so soon after that one, then like the Marlins bats to be more comfortable facing him, and score a few runs off him. Baltimore - Chicago White Sox over 9.5 @ 2.28 pinnacle Reyes is 5-8, with a 5.37 ERA as he has allowed at least 4 runs in 6 of his last 10 starts (total of 38 runs), as he makes his first start for his new club. With the White Sox getting some runs yesterday, like them to hit Reyes who has not been able to string together good performances all year. Floyd is 9-10, with a 4.56 ERA as he allowed 10 runs on 9 hits in the 18-7 loss to the NY Yankees. In his last start against Baltimore, he allowed 6 runs on 7 hits in the 6-4 home loss to them in June this year, and like them to score some runs here Toronto -1.5 @ 2.48 pinnacle Cecil is 4-4, with a 4.35 ERA as he has allowed 12 runs in going 3-1 in his last 6 starts. He is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA in 2 starts against Oakland, and like him to continue his good form here against a side that struggles on the road. They have lost 30 of their last 37 road games, while they have won just 3 of their last 14 games in Toronto. Harden is 2-2, with a 4.63 ERA as he has allowed 18 runs in his 6 starts this season, and while he has allowed 11 of these runs in his 3 road starts, he has not pitched past the 6th innings in either of these road starts. He is 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA in 3 starts in Toronto and is 0-3 with a 5.74 ERA in 8 starts overall against them. Cleveland -1.5 @ 2.70 pinnacleMasterson is 9-7, with a 2.63 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts (total of 13 runs) with just 5 runs in his last 5 home starts. He has a 2.70 ERA in 2 starts against Detroit this season, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits in the 5-4 home win over them in May, and then allowing 4 runs on 7 hits in the 4-0 road loss to them in June. Fister is 4-12, with a 3.29 ERA as he allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in the 5-4 win over Texas in his first start for Detroit, after coming over from Seattle. He is 0-2 with a 3.16 ERA in 4 starts against Cleveland and allowed 2 runs in the 5-4 loss to them in May. Cleveland are 4 gmae behind Detroit in the AL Central division, and as they have won their last 11 home games over Detroit, like them to do it again here. Boston -1.5 @ 2.26 pinnacle Bedard allowed 3 runs on 7 hits in his first start for Boston as they lost 7-3 to Cleveland. He has won his last 2 starts against Minnesota, as he allowed just 6 hits in the 3-0 road win over them while pitching for Seattle, and should be able to contain the Twins batters who have been struggling to hit. Also he has allowed just 2 runs in his last 4 road starts, with a 2.16 ERA on the road for the season. Liriano is 7-9, with a 5.03 ERA as he allowed 7 runs on 10 hits in the 7-1 loss to the LA Angels. He is 1-3 with a 7.78 ERA in 4 starts against Boston, and like them to hit him here again. St Louis - Milwaukee over 8.5 @ 2.06 pinnacle Jackson is 1-1, with a 5.79 ERA as he allowed 10 runs on 14 hits in the 10-5 loss to Milwaukee last Wednesday, in his second start for the Cardinals. Like them to hit him again here, just like the Cardinals should hit Marcum again. Marcum is 10-3, with a 3.58 ERA as he allowed 6 runs on 7 hits in the 8-7 loss to the Cardinals last week. With both sets of bats hitting well, and familiar with both pitchers after facing them jsut last week, can see some runs being scored here. August picks: 14-22 (-3.98) July picks: 54-62 (+3.14) June picks: 53-72 (-2.95) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)

Re: MLB: August 9th picks Not sure about C.W.S/Baltimore for overs. However St Loius /Milwarkee today have a top chance to go over 8 runs.
