Re: MLB: September 1st Picks Cleveland - Oakland over 8.5 @ 2.20 pinnacle Carmona is 6-12, with a 4.85 ERA as he has allowed 12 runs in his last 3 home starts, where he a 4.86 ERA. He also has a 4.93 ERA when pitching during the day, and is 4-5 with a 4.95 ERA against Cleveland. Gonzalez is 11-11, with a 3.35 ERA as he has allowed at least 4 runs in 6 of his last 7 starts, which includes his last 4 road starts He has a 4.65 ERA on the road compared to a 2.36 ERA at home, and though he has a good record against Cleveland, he has yet to face them this year, and given his current form, is likely to give up some runs here. Neither pitcher is in good form, so like both sets of bats to score runs Cincinnati - Philly under 8.5 @ 2.00 pinnacle Leake is 11-8, with a 4.04 ERA as he has allowed 3 runs or less in 6 of his last 10 starts and has allowed 2 runs or less in his last 4 home starts. Though he has a 6.91 ERA in 2 starts against the Phillies, he has not faced them this year, and like him to do well to contain them. Worley is 9-1, with a 2.65 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 8 of his last 10 starts, including in 4 of his last 5 road starts. He has faced Cincinnati once this year where he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits in the 6-3 home loss to them in May, but with the Reds bats struggling to hit, like him to contain them. Also, Worley is 2-0 with a 1.85 ERA in 5 starts this season when pitching on at least 6 days' rest so he should be refreshed to do well here. Baltimore - Toronto over 9.5 @ 2.00 pinnacle Hunter is 3-2, with a 4.98 ERA as he has allowed at least 4 runs in 4 of his last 5 starts, which includes his last 3 home starts. Toronto have hit well of late and like them to score some runs off Hunter. Baltimore have averaged nearly 8 runs of run support per game for Hunter so like them to score some runs on Perez, who is 3-2, with a 3.29 ERA. Not confident in either pitcher in stopping the runs here, and both sets of bats can hit if they are in the right mood. August picks: 49-76 (-7.54) July picks: 54-62 (+3.14) June picks: 53-72 (-2.95) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
