[blackcrow]

Philly -2.5 @ 2.29 pinnacle Hamels is 13-6, with a 2.53 as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 13 of his last 14 starts, with just 6 runs allowed in his last 5 home starts. He is 10-3 with a 2.61 ERA in 19 starts against Washington as he allowed just 5 hits in the 4-1 home win over them in May this year. Hernandez is 6-11, with a 4.41 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in 5 of his last 10 starts (total of 30 runs) and is coming off allowing 7 runs on 10 hits in the 15-7 loss at Colorado. He has allowed 12 runs in his last 3 road starts, and has lost his last 3 starts in Philly with a high 7.63 ERA to go with it. Philly have the better bats and pitcher here, and have won 24 of their last 28 home games against Washington. Cleveland -1.5 @ 2.41 pinnacle Masterson is 9-7, with a 2.71 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 allowed just 2 runs in 2 starts against Minnesota this season and like him to continue his good form here against a side that has won just twice in their last 10 games. Pavano is 6-9, with a 4.71 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in 6 of his last 8 starts (total of 34 runs) while allowing 22 runs in his last 4 road starts. He is 3-2 with a 2.72 ERA in 7 starts against Cleveland as he allowed 1 run on 7 hits in the 3-2 road win over them in June this year, but that was when he was pitching much better than he has been recently. NY Yankees -2.5 @ 2.68 pinnacle Sabathia is 16-6, with a 2.81 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts (total of 18 runs) and like him to bonce back after allowing 7 runs and 9 hits in the 10-4 loss to Boston. He has allowed just 2 runs in winning his last 4 home starts, and is 1-1 with a 1.06 ERA in 2 starts against Tampa Bay this season, allowing just 4 hits in the complete game 1-0 win against them at home last month. Price is 9-10, with a 3.89 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in 7 of his last 10 starts (total of 31 runs) with 4 runs allowed in each of his last 3 road starts. He is 0-1 with a 5.71 ERA in 3 starts against the New York Yankees this season as he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in the 5-4 loss to them last month, in his last start in NY. The Yankees need to win and like Sabathia to continue his good form here while the bats score some runs off Price. LA Angels @ 2.22 pinnacle Santana is 8-8, with a 3.21 ERA and is 5-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his last 8 starts, as he has allowed just 11 runs in these games. He has given up 3 runs in his last 3 road starts and though he allowed 3 runs in the 3-2 loss to Toronto in April this year, he had won his previous 4 starts against them. Morrow is 8-6, with a 4.51 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in 6 of his last 10 starts (total of 28 runs) with 11 runs in his last 3 home starts. He has 5.95 ERA at home compared to a 2.97 ERA on the road, and is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA against the LA Angels. Hard to fault the form of Santana here and like him to contain the Toronto bats while they score some runs off Morrow Milwaukee -2.5 @ 2.73 pinnacle Greinke is 10-4, with a 4.21 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in his last 6 starts (total of just 7 runs), while he has gone 7-0 with a 3.49 ERA in his 9 home starts this season, allowing 5 runs in his last 4 home starts. He allowed 5 runs on 6 hits in the 9-6 home win over Pittsburgh in May this year, but that was when they were playing better than what they are now. Maholm is 6-12, with a 3.54 ERA as he allowed 7 runs on 10 hits in the 13-2 loss to San Diego. He has given up at least 3 runs in 4 of his last 5 starts (total of 20 runs) while he is 0-3 with a 4.59 ERA in 8 starts in Milwaukee. The Brewers are hitting well while the Pirates are not so like them to continue their very good form at the expense of a Pittsburgh side who have lost 8 of their last 10 games. Arizona -1.5 @ 2.38 pinnacle Kennedy is 14-3, with a 3.20 ERA as he has allowed just 12 runs in winning his last 6 starts. He has allowed 5 runs in his last 4 home starts and like him to help Arizona extend their 3 game winning streak. Gee is 10-3, with a 3.93 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in 6 if his last 8 starts (total of 28 runs). He has allowed 13 runs in his last 4 road starts, and gave up 4 runs on 5 hits in the 6-4 home win over Arizona in April this year. Arizona have been playign well while the Mets have not, and like Kennedy to continue to pitch well at home. August picks: 19-31 (-6.12) July picks: 54-62 (+3.14) June picks: 53-72 (-2.95) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
