Pick #1 – San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves

The game were evaluating tonight is the San Diego Padres (55-76) versus the Atlanta Braves (49-83) and its the story of two teams at this point simply playing for pride and bargaining numbers. Were still very interested in this play as we have already noticed that the savvy money is swaying towards the OVER as the opening over/under total line of 8.5 has now moved to 9 giving us a strong indication were on the right track with this selection. Diving right into some of the key numbers for this contest we note that the total has gone OVER in 14 of Atlanta's last 18 games and the total has gone OVER in 5 of Atlanta's last 5 games at home, really highlighting the fact that the Braves are simply scoring and being scored on a high rate as late. Even more intriguing we see that the total has gone OVER in 8 of Atlanta's last 12 games when playing San Diego and the total has gone OVER in 4 of Atlanta's last 5 games when playing at home against San Diego lending even more credence to the fact that would should really being seeing some offense tonight. When these two teams last played yesterday the score was 3-7 giving us every impression that these two teams are having no problem putting up runs as of late. The teams look to keep the offensive highlights coming and the public consensus seems to feel the same way as this MLB total spread is on a favorable 60% push towards the OVER. The San Diego Padres produce 4.31 runs this year and the Atlanta Braves show up with 3.73 (this number has actually been rising as of late) runs on average for the season so getting to the OVER should not be too tough tonight given the way both teams are playing as of late. The park factor for this game is at a not that alluring -95 rating but we get a nice 14 mph but Turner Field has been primed for runs lately so the offense should have no problem continuing. The weather at Turner Field is looking like 92°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 57% and the Wind is ENE 6 mph so should be no problem for the bats to remain hot. Another stat we have to feel solid about that points to the OVER in this contest is the fact that the Braves are dealing with an uncertain relief staff and Jim Johnson is having trouble feeling comfortable as of late. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Paul Clemens (R) has been pitching questionable as of late with a 6.75 ERA over the past week. He also just gets lit by right handed hitting giving up a whopping .316 batting average (5/9 RH hitters on Braves tonight) which should make hitting the over that much easier. Also Matt Wisler (L) is not that great against left handed hitting giving up a mediocre .260 batting average so the Padres almost all left handed squad should get some good swings in tonight (6/9 LH hitters on Braves tonight). The computer predicted score for this matchup is 9.1 so hitting the total in this one seems to have all the right factors going for it and we will take the OVER here at 9 and feel great about where this bet should be headed.

Pick #1 – Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles

The contest that were looking to grab a win in today is the Toronto Blue Jays (74-56) versus the Baltimore Orioles (71-59) and we get a clash of two teams bound for the roads through the playoffs which could very well lead to more meetings of these two highly offensive clubs. One of our most respected betting indicators starts us off as we notice the over/under total spread for this MLB game opened at 9.5 and has since moved up even higher to a 10 which is a great sign that the smart money is starting to pound a certain side, in this case the OVER. Looking at some of the other essential facts to justify this type of line movement are the facts that the total has gone OVER in 4 of Toronto's last 5 games. On top of this the total has gone OVER in 6 of Baltimore's last 8 games when playing Toronto so we can really start to feel confident about these two teams putting up some runs when facing each other. Both teams will be trying to wrap up the season with a bang heading into the playoffs and the public consensus seems to think each team will continue the hot streaks of offensive power as they have this MLB total spread at staggering 75% rating towards the OVER. The Toronto Blue Jays produce 4.92 runs on the season per game and the Baltimore Orioles output offensively at a rate of 4.73 runs on average for the year and given the way these two teams have been hitting we have to love are chances here. The Park Factor for this game is an alluring +115 rating so the hitters should have no problem moving the ball to the gaps tonight. The weather at Camden Yards is looking like 89°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 62%, Wind is W 5 mph so the bats should have no problem coming to life in this matchup. Another stat we have to feel great about that points to the OVER in this battle of the bats is the fact that the Blue Jays bullpen has been a bit shaky lately so if the Orioles can work past Marco Estrada (R) early there should be plenty of plate opportunities in the later innings. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Marco Estrada (R) sports an atrocious ERA of 10.80 over the last week of work and things are not going to get easier. His entire August ERA is not looking much better giving up a robust 6.00 ERA for the entire month. Also Wade Miley (L) has an August ERA of 8.81 and gets roped by right handed hitting to the tune of a .301 batting average (8/9 hitters on Toronto are RH). The computer predicted score for this matchup is 11.8 so we are seemingly getting a ton of value here for all the reasons above making the OVER 10 look incredibly sharp for this pick.

Pick #1 – Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants

The game that is the standout on tonight's scheduled slate is the Atlanta Braves (47-81) versus the San Francisco Giants (69-58) which is a story of one team headed to the top while the other continues the slide to obscurity. One of our favorite betting parameters leads the charge as we notice the over/under total spread for this MLB game opened at 7.5 and has since shot up to an 8 a great indication that the expert bets have shown their side. Looking at some of the other vital facts to support this type of line movement are the facts that the total has gone OVER in 8 of Atlanta's last 9 games and the total has gone OVER in 7 of Atlanta's last 8 games on the road. On top of this the total has gone OVER in 8 of San Francisco's last 12 games and the total has gone OVER in 4 of San Francisco's last 5 games at home. If that was not enough we also get on our side the fact that the total has gone OVER in 4 of San Francisco's last 5 games when playing at home against Atlanta so all initial signs truly point to go in this one. The Giants really need to keep their amazing season going and the public consensus seems to think this great run may continue as they have this MLB total spread at an encouraging 70% rating towards the OVER. The Atlanta Braves produce 3.73 runs on the season per game and the San Francisco Giants output offensively at a rate of 4.45 runs on average for the year so this is one of those promising times where the averages push us up and OVER the magic mark of 8. The weather at AT&T Park is looking like 60°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 87% and Wind is S 10 mph so the bats should have no problem shining in this contest. Another stat we have to feel happy about that points to the OVER in this battle is the point that the Braves are dealing with a spotty and uncertain bullpen recently so if the Giants can work past Joel De La Cruz (R) early it should get nasty in terms of runs crossing the plate. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Joel De La Cruz (R) sports an ERA of 9.53 over the last week of work. He also shaky away from home giving up a robust 5.23 ERA when on the road. Also Jeff Samardzija (R) gives up on the year an ERA of 7.20 to the Atlanta Braves specifically so this should be a wild one to say the least. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 10 so at this point the OVER 8 is looking like a layup in almost every scenario possible.

Pick #1 – Texas Rangers at Cincinnati Reds

The contest were gearing up for tonight is the Texas Rangers (73-53) versus the Cincinnati Reds (54-71) and its a face off between two teams moving in opposite directions of the playoff race. We get a nice start to the pick as the savvy money has already taken the opening spread of 8.5 and pressed this over/under MLB total down to an 8 UNDER highlighting where this bet should be going. Breaking down some of the more critical stats for this game we see that the The total has gone UNDER in 15 of Texas's last 22 games. This key trend should play a huge role in this bet coming to fruition as Texas is locking down on both sides of the ball and this should play well in our favor here. These two teams met just yesterday and managed a score of only 0-3 so the offenses really seems to be lagging on both sides and should really provide some value here. Both teams will look to stay on the same stellar pitching and defense path and the public consensus seems to agree strongly on this as well because we get this MLB total spread reporting a 63% public push towards the UNDER. The Texas Rangers create 4.62 runs this year and the Oakland Athletics reach on average 4.48 so this is an extremely situational and matchup specific play when choosing the UNDER in this unique interleague stand off. While the park factor for this game is a questionable +117 the wind is blowing in at 11 mph so the balls should be staying in the park while being met with resistance. The weather at Great American Ballpark is looking like 85°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 71% , Wind is S 8 mph so a very nice environment for the bats to get silenced. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Yu Darvish (R) has a stifling 2.33 ERA in August. He also just demolishes left handed hitting giving up a miniscule .188 ERA (4/9 LH hitters on the Reds). Also Tim Adleman (R) has been pitching on another level at home with a 2.03 ERA. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 9.4 so its all of the variables above that make us feel great that 8 runs will not be reached and the UNDER is the ideal play given a review of all factors and conditions.

Pick #1 – Cleveland Indians at Oakland Athletics

The contest were attacking to start of the week is the Cleveland Indians (71-51) versus the Oakland Athletics (53-71) and its a set up of two teams headed in opposite playoff directions. We get a very rare circumstance here as the sharp money has already swung the line enough to move it an entire point from an 8.5 over/under MLB total down a 7.5 line giving us a high value opening positional read on the UNDER. Breaking down some of the vital numbers for this game we see that the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Oakland's last 5 games and the total has gone UNDER in 9 of Oakland's last 13 games at home so we get a team and a stadium that has really been stingy with the runs for this one. In addition to this the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Cleveland's last 8 games when playing Oakland and the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Cleveland's last 7 games when playing on the road against Oakland so we get situational and matchup specific trends in this one that have UNDER written all over them. Both teams will look to continue their stellar pitching and defense but the public consensus does not seem to agree on this one as this MLB total spread is reporting a 70% public money push towards the OVER. The Cleveland Indians produce 5.05 runs this year and the Oakland Athletics show up with 3.99 so this is a very situational and matchup specific play when contemplating the UNDER. The park factor for this game is a highly favorable -87 rating so the pitchers will have lots of extra help from the playing conditions in this one. The weather at Oakland Coliseum is looking like 60°F, Cloudy, Humidity is 88% and Wind is a West-southwest 9 mph so a very nice environment for the bats to get lulled to sleep. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (R) has a ridiculous 1.97 ERA this year when pitching on the road. He also just destroys right handed hitting giving up a minuscule 2.11 ERA(5/9 RH hitters on the Nationals). Also Andrew Triggs (R) has been pitching on another level in the last week with a 1.59 ERA. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 8.5 so its all of the factors above that make us confident that 7.5 will not be reached and the UNDER is the ideal play given the evaluated facts.

Pick #1 – Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals

The game were setting our sights on tonight is the Minnesota Twins (49-72) versus the Kansas City Royals (61-60) and pits one team fighting for their playoff lives while the other is at this point merely playing for pride. We are excited from the start of this bet breakdown as the smart money has already moved this over/under total from 8.5 to 9 giving us a solid first impression that this one is headed to the OVER. Diving right into some of the essential stats for this contest we note that the total has gone OVER in 15 of Minnesota's last 19 games and the total has gone OVER in 10 of Minnesota's last 12 games on the road so its pretty clear the Twins bats are hot. In addition to this the total has gone OVER in 5 of Kansas City's last 7 games when playing Minnesota. When these two teams played yesterday the score was 1-8 showing these two squads have no problem hitting high totals when battling. Both teams look to continue putting the runs up and the public consensus seems to feel the same in a major way as this MLB total over/under has one of the highest leader board leans we have seen with a 91% push towards the OVER. The Minnesota Twins produce 4.60 runs this year (number is currently trending up) and the Kansas City Royals show up with 3.95 runs on average for the season so we get right near our OVER pick even if the game does a standard run out. The park factor for this game is a not so great -94 rating for this one but we do get an 11 MPH wind out to dead center which should be a big help in moving runners across the plate. The weather at Kauffman Stadium is looking like 86°F, Partially cloudy, Humidity is 67% and a Wind of South 7 mph so very nice conditions for the bats to come alive. Another positive sign we have to feel solid about that points to the OVER in this game is the fact that the Royals are dealing with an injured and depleted relief staff so once the Twins get to the bullpen the scoring floodgates should really open. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Jose Berrios (R) has been pitching terrible in August with a 8.31 ERA on the month. He also just gets ripped by right handed hitting giving up a whopping .345 batting average (7/9 RH hitters on Royals tonight) which should make for an uphill battle and plenty of scoring opportunities. Also Edinson Volquez (R) has a bloated august ERA of 6.88 and has not done well against right handers as well serving up a batting average of .280 (6/9 RH hitters on the Twins). The computer predicted score for this matchup is 7.9 so its going be all of the factors mentioned above that we are going to need to rely on when pulling out the OVER 9 here and we have to trust the read given the variables we have in our favor.

Pick #1 – Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles​

Two teams fighting for 2nd and more in the AL East lock in tonight as the Boston Red Sox (66-52) take on the Baltimore Orioles (66-52) in a showdown of the indentical records. Alarm bells are already ringing for this one as the smart money has already moved this from a 9 over/under total down a half point to an 8.5 giving us strong hints that this contest should be making its way to the UNDER. Now really opening up the reads we see that the total has gone UNDER in 14 of Boston's last 20 games and the total has gone UNDER in 14 of Boston's last 17 games on the road so its safe to say Boston is going to win with the defense and not the offense down the stretch. In addition to this the total has gone UNDER in 18 of Baltimore's last 25 games and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Baltimore's last 5 games at home making this a perfect storm of anemic offenses and trends setting the stage for the UNDER. These two teams played yesterday with a 5-3 result so although close still showed why the runs have been hard to come by for these two teams lately. Both teams look to continue their lockdown piching and defense and the public consensus is on the same side as this MLB total spread is teetering at 68% public money push towards the UNDER. The Boston Red Sox produce 5.49 runs this year and the Baltimore Orioles show up with 4.68 so were really riding recent results to hit this UNDER. The park factor for this game is a not entirely favorable +115 rating but we do get a 14 mph breeze blowing in from left to right which should be huge as far as hindering hits goes. The weather at Camden Yards is looking like 98°F, Mostly Sunny, Humidity is 57% and has a current Wind of W 10 mph so perfect conditions for lockdown pitching. One thing we have to love about this series is that both teams have an elite closing staff so every inning is usually a nightmare for opposing hitters. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher David Price (L) some of the best he has all year with a low 7 day 3.38 ERA over the past week. Also Dylan Bundy (R) has been incredible over his last seven days sporting a stingy 1.45 ERA. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 8.6 so the line is looking UNDER here at 8.5 which should take us home to victory.

Pick #1 – Washington Nationals at Colorado Rockies​

The game were setting our sights on tonight is the Washington Nationals (69 - 47) versus the Colorado Rockies (56 - 62) and its a face off of one of the best this year against a team that is just fighting to stay alive. In a very rare instance we immediately get excited about this selection as the expert money has moved the line and entire point towards the OVER taking it from 9.5 all the way up to 10.5 which is an adjustment you just never see but a great indicator as to where this bet is headed. Turning right into some of the critical stats for this contest we note that the total has gone OVER in 4 of Washington's last 5 games and the total has gone OVER in 4 of Colorado's last 5 games so its clear both these teams are hot with the bats right now and that trend expects to continue. As these two teams look to try and collect wins down the stretch offense appears to be the focus and the public consensus seems to believe this as well pushing this MLB total spread to an incredibly lofty 73% towards the OVER. The Colorado Rockies produce 5.24 runs this year and the Washington Nationals light up the scoring charts with 4.75 runs on average for the season so were already hitting double digit runs without even factoring in anything else. The park factor for this game is a rarely seen +138 rating which is off the charts in terms of hitting conditions and potential for runs. The weather at Coors Field is looking like 91°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 24% , Wind is South 2 mph so should be no shortage of the bats finding the gaps and runners crossing the plate. Another positive sign we have to feel solid about that points to the OVER in this game is the fact that the Rockies are dealing with sketchy relief staff conditions so once the Nationals get to the bullpen the scoring floodgates should open. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Jorge De La Rosa (L) has pitched as of late and sports a current 5.40 ERA over the last seven days. Also pitching Ace Max Scherzer (R) gets touched up a bit by the Rockies given up 3 runs and 6 runs respectively over the last two games he through against Colorado so should be a long night for all pitching involved and especially in Colorado. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 9.4 but we have to think the Colorado air gets us that extra 1.5 we need when combined with all the other factors above so lets roll with the OVER here and take another one home to the bank.

Pick #1 – Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies

The game were attacking at the books tonight is the Colorado Rockies (56 - 59) versus the Philadelphia Phillies (53 - 63) and its the collision of two teams trying to both get back to .500 and re-kindle some sort of playoff hopes. Were overjoyed to pick up this line as the expert money has already been hammered down on this OVER moving the opening of to an 8.5 giving us a valuable initial indicator were on the right track here. Moving right into some of the vital numbers for this contest we note that the total has gone OVER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 5 games really highlighting how hot Philly bats have been lately and we can expect more of the same from these power slugging team. When these two teams faced off in their last two games in July the scores were 10-3 and 3-8 further proven that these two teams just love to put up runs against each other and do it without difficulty this year. The teams look to really pick up the pace in the win and offensive column down the stretch and the public consensus seems to believe this as well pushing this MLB total spread as high as 65% towards the OVER. The Colorado Rockies produce 5.24 runs this year and the Philadelphia Phillies show up with 3.72 (this number has actually been rising as of late) runs on average for the season so even on standard stats bias alone we get to this OVER easy. The park factor for this game is an off the charts Red Star(situation strongly favors hitters) +109 rating and we get a huge 14 mph wind out to right center so should be some serious opportunities to plates some runs. The weather at Citizens Bank Park is looking like 95°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 61% and a Wind of Southwest 9 mph so should be no issues with the bats finding their hot spots. Another positive sign we have to feel solid about that points to the OVER in this game is the fact that the Rockies are dealing with uncertain relief staff conditions So once the Phillies get to the bullpen there should be no shortage of runs in the late innings for the home team. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Jon Gray (R) has pitched atrocious lately and sports a current 7 day 19.64 ERA. Also recently inserted into the rotation Jake Thompson (R) has been doing just as bad in August giving up an outstanding 12.46 ERA. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 10.6 and this is one of those very rare signs where the OVER is just screaming to come to fruition at point were getting and 8.5 seems like a real bargain today given all of the above factors.

Pick #1 – Cleveland Indians at Washington

The game were going to hone in on for today's slate is the Cleveland Indians (63-47) versus the Washington Nationals (66-46) and should be a tight exchange of two teams teetering at the top. Were already starting off on the right foot for this one as the smart money has already challenged the line enough to move it from an 8.5 over/under MLB total down a half run to an even 8 giving us a solid opening positional read on the UNDER. Breaking open some of the essential numbers for this game we see that the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Washington's last 5 games and the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Washington's last 7 games at home so its pretty evident offense is on the premium for Nationals home games right now. In addition to this the total has gone UNDER in 9 of Cleveland's last 12 games when playing Washington and the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Cleveland's last 5 games when playing on the road against Washington so needless to say this has all the makings of yet another UNDER affair. These two teams played yesterday to a 3-1 Indians win further proving these team are simply not producing much on offense and rather focusing on defense as of late. Both teams look to continue their stellar pitching and defense and the public consensus seems to at last some what agree as this MLB total spread is registering a 55% public money siding with the UNDER. The Cleveland Indians produce 4.97 runs this year and the Washington Nationals show up with 4.67 so this is a very situational play when contemplating the UNDER. The park factor for this game is a reasonable -98 rating so very nice conditions for the bats to slowdown while the pitchers to excel. The weather at Nationals Park is looking like 97°F, Mostly Sunny , Humidity is 58% and Wind is S 15 mph so a very nice environment for the bats to get lulled to sleep. A final and most important point to this pick is the fact that starting pitcher Josh Tomlin (R) has been pitching impeccable on the road with an enticing 3.44 ERA this year. He also just smokes past left handed hitting giving up a minuscule 2.28 ERA(5/9 LH hitters on the Nationals). Also Gio Gonzalez (L) has been pitching on another level in August with a 1.29 ERA. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 8.2 so no big prediction favoritism for this bet but we have to feel great about getting the UNDER here at 8 which should take us home to victory.
