7/20/2014 8:05 PM MLB Baseball 963 Los Angeles Dodgers* -½ -125  vs St. Louis Cardinals for 1st 5 Innings 
C Kershaw - L Listed   C Martinez - R Listed
Risking 1.50 To Win 1.20  (WINNER)

I was going to look for a run line play on this game tonight but I don't like the fact that the Dodgers are sitting Puig as that takes a significant offensive threat out of their arsenal. Instead I am going to go with 1.5 on the 5 inning line for the Dodgers to have the lead - Martinez has shown his weakness in the last couple games, he can throw hard 97-98 MPH but doesn't have any other consistent pitches to mix in. I expect the Dodgers to pick up on this early and get at least a lead by 5 innings in. I would be making a bigger play here but without Puig in the lineup this game could be a bit closer.

7/20/2014 1:10 PM Reduced Baseball 951 San Francisco Giants* -1½ +135  vs Miami Marlins
T Lincecum - R Listed   B Hand - L Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.35 (Loss)

This one opened at -145 which didn't work for me, but at -128 on the ML and +135 on the RL I am going to make a play to back the Giants who seem to have figured things out these last few games. Giants are starting Lincecum 3.66ERA 9-5 on the season vs Hand for Miami 0-2 on the season and 5.26 ERA.

7/20/2014 1:05 PM Reduced Baseball 965 Texas Rangers/Toronto Blue Jays* Under 9 -120 
N Tepesch - R Listed   M Buehrle - L Listed
Risking 2.00 To Win 1.67 (Loss)

I liked the under in this game when I thought it was going to come out at 8, at 9 we are getting great value even at -120. You could split this bet 1 unit on under 9 and 1 under 8.5 if you have the ability to, the value may be better if you can get it at plus money. The problem with these two teams has been injuries and their inability to put up runs. Both teams are struggling at the plate. Look at the prior two games in the series 5-1 and 4-1 so far. With Buehrle pitching today I expect the Rangers to struggle to put up runs and the Jays haven't shown they can score so play the under.

Lets Get It
