8/2/2014 7:10 PM Reduced Baseball 925 Toronto Blue Jays* -1½ +130  vs Houston Astros
R Dickey - R Listed   B Oberholtzer - L Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.30 (Loss)

Toronto was due for an off night and I think they got it out of their system last night. Since the break they have been on fire. They went 11 of 13 averaging 6.2 runs per game and 10.9 hits per game. The main difference is they have some speed back in their lineup and they are finally cashing in on base runners. I am going with the Jays tonight. Dickey hasn't pitched poorly all year, the main problem was lack of run support. I like the Jays chances to get a convincing win in Houston tonight. The Astros counter with Oberholtzer who is 3-7 with an ERA of 4.30, he has been back and forth from the minors all year. The Jays shouldn't have much of a problem here tonight.

8/2/2014 7:10 PM MLB Baseball 903 Cincinnati Reds* +108  vs Miami Marlins
H Bailey - R Listed   N Eovaldi - R Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.08 (Loss)

8/2/2014 7:10 PM MLB Baseball 903 Cincinnati Reds* -1½ +158  vs Miami Marlins
H Bailey - R Listed   N Eovaldi - R Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.58 (Loss)

The Reds struggled since the All Star break losing 10 of 12 before this series. But a trip to Marlins park was just what they needed. They seem to love this stadium they have won 6 in a row here and 9 of their last 10 including the first two of this series. When I look at the pitching matchup it again favors the Reds. I have to give the advantage to Homer Bailey who has pitched the Marlins very well. In his last 6 starts he is 2-1 with a 2.68 ERA. Eovaldi struggled recently over his last 3 starts he is 0-2 with a 9.92 ERA, and he only has 1 win in his last 9 starts. This one clearly favors the Reds who I like to keep their streak going.

8/2/2014 4:05 PM Reduced Baseball 915 Kansas City Royals/Oakland Athletics* Under 7 -115 
J Vargas - L Listed   J Lester - L Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 0.87 (Loss)

This one looks like it's going to be a pitcher's duel but I am just going with a 1 unit play as Lester is fresh off a trade and that can always throw things off a bit. That being said I really don't expect there to be many runs in this game.

Lets Get It
