Miami -1.5 @ 2.42 pinnacle Samardzija has won both of his starts this season, with a 3.95 ERA to go with it, as he gave up 5 runs on 6 hits in the 9-5 win over St Louis. He has been helped by some good run support in both of his games, and with Nolasco pitching well, he will need it here. Nolasco allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in the 5-4 win over Houston, and is 2-2 with a 2.70 ERA in 6 starts against the Cub. The Marlins look good here to get the sweep, as the Cubs are not hitting well, and have lost 7 of their last 9 games LA Dodgers @ 2.18 pinnacle Harang has allowed 8 runs in his two starts so far this year but he also threw 13 strikeouts in the 9-8 win over San Diego, so like him to continue on with his impressive pitching. Like him to help his team avoid the sweep as Wolf has been pretty poor, as he has allowed 11 runs on 18 hits in his first two games this season, and is coming off allowing 8 runs on 9 hits in the 10-8 loss to Atlanta, With the Dodgers having won 8 of their 9 games against left handed pitching, then like LA to do enough here to avoid the sweep St Louis - Cincinnati over 8.5 @ 2.24 pinnacle Wainwright is 0-2, with a 11.42 ERA as he has allowed 11 runs in his two starts this season. He is coming off allowing 3 runs on 4 hits in the 6-0 loss to Milwaukee and then allowing 8 runs on 7 hits in the 9-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Wainwright is 3-4 with a 4.15 ERA in 8 starts against the Reds, and given his current form, can see him being hit again here. Arroyo alowed 5 runs in his opening start, and improved on that effort to allowing just 3 hits in the 2-1 loss to Washington. However, he went 0-1 with a 4.67 ERA in 4 starts against St Louis last season and is 0-3 with a 6.81 ERA in his last 6 starts against them, as they have hit him well in the past. Like there to be quite a few runs here Chicago White Sox - Baltimore over 8.5 @ 2.13 pinnacle Floyd was fortunate to allow just 3 hits in the 5-1 win over Detroit as he had several walks in the game, and got out of a couple of jams. He is 1-2 with a 5.31 ERA in 3 home starts against Baltimore, who have seen him a few times, and with them hitting the ball well right now, can see them hitting him once again. Hammel allowed 2 runs on 8 hits in the 6-4 win over Texas but the White Sox have hit him well in the past and can see him giving up a few runs here Record: 19-34 (-7.06)

Miami -1.5 @ 2.42 :) LA Dodgers @ 2.18 :) St Louis - Cincinnati over 8.5 @ 2.24 :) Chicago White Sox - Baltimore over 8.5 @ 2.13 :@ At the end there, they had bases loaded but could not bring an extra run in. Third time in the game that happened

Record: 22-35 (-4.22) Houston @ 2.44 pinnacle Norris allowed 4 runs on 6 hits in the 5-4 win over Miami and though he has yet to record the win, his batters have scored late to win both of the games he has started in. He is 1-0 with a 2.63 ERA in 2 starts against Washington with both of these games on the road. Jackson has won both his starts as he allowed two hits in the 4-1 win over Cincinnati. He is 2-0 with a 3.65 ERA in 4r starts against Houston. Houston have been somewhat unlucky to lose their last two games by a run, and like them to avoid a four-game sweep as they should have had at least one win in this series Texas -1.5 @ 2.36 pinnacle Two teams go at it with two very inexperienced pitchers aiming to improve on their respective starts to this season. Like Texas here with Darvish on the mound, as he has gone 1-0 with a 4.76 ERA in his two starts, as he allowed 2 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks in the 6-2 win over Minnesota, while Wilk has gone 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA as he allowed 2 runs on 3 hits and 4 walks in the 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Believe that Texas has the better batting line up, and having won all 3 starts against left handed pitching this season, as well as 10 of their last 12 games against lefties, then like them to win the first game of this series Atlanta -1.5 @ 2.32 pinnacle Minor is 1-1, with a 4.38 ERA as he had a much better second start, allowing just 1 run on 2 hits in the 2-1 win over Milwaukee. He has yet to face Arizona, but will like his chances here, as they have lsot 4 of their last 6 starts. Collmenter is 0-0 with a 12.86 ERA in 2 starts as he allowed 5 runs on 5 hits and 3 wlaks in the 8-7 loss at Colorado, and has allowed 11 runs in his first two starts of this season. Though he has pitched well in two starts against the Braves last season, like them to continue their good form and beat him here Seattle -1.5 @ 2.56 pinnacle Hernandez has gone 1-1 with a 3.80 ERAin 3 starts this season as he allowed 2 runs on 7 hits in the 4-0 loss to Oakland. Like him to pitch even better here against Cleveland where he has won 5 of his last 7 starts against them with a 2.12 ERA to go with it. They have beaten them in 4 of their last 5 games, and can see them getting to Tomlin, who is 0-1 witha 8.31 ERA. He is coming out of the bullpen, and allowed 5 runs on 6 hits in a relied appearance against Kansas. Though he has won 2 of his last 3 games against Seattle, he does have a high 6.23 ERA to go with it, and can see the Mariners scoring some runs here.
