8/5/2014 10:05 PM MLB Baseball 965 Tampa Bay Rays* +125 vs Oakland
Athletics D Smyly - L Listed   J Hammel - R
Listed Risking 1.00 To Win 1.25 (Loss)

8/5/2014 10:05 PM MLB Baseball 965 Tampa Bay Rays* -2½ +260  vs Oakland Athletics
D Smyly - L Listed   J Hammel - R Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 2.60 (Loss)

I am going with the Rays here. This is largely a play against Hammel who has been terrible since being traded to Oakland. He comes into this game 0-4 in his last 4 starts with an ERA at 9.53. He just doesn't look comfortable on the mound since the trade. There is a reason Oakland traded for Lester, mainly because Hammel isn't getting it done. The Rays have been the best team in Baseball this past month and I  like them to keep it rolling with a convincing win vs the As tonight. The Rays are starting Smyly who they acquired in the trade with Detroit. Oakland won a close one yesterday and I like Tampa to even the series with a big multi run win today.

8/5/2014 7:05 PM Reduced Baseball 959 Detroit Tigers* -1½ +135  vs New York Yankees
D Price - L Listed   H Kuroda - R Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.35 (Loss)

I am taking the Tigers to get a big win here tonight. They are getting their newly acquired Ace David Price who they acquired in from Tampa in a blockbuster deal last week. The Tigers made it clear they are making a run this year and will be looking to Price to provide some quality starts down the stretch. Price was 14-9 on the year with the Rays but won 6 of his last 7 starts before the trade. He comes into this game with an ERA of 3.11 which is actually down in the low 2s when you look at his last 10 games. Kuroda has been average for the Yankees. He comes into this game with an ERA of 3.98 and 7-7 on the year. Looking at his last 10 starts he is 3-4 with 3 no decisions. I like the Tigers to get a big win with Price on the mound tonight.

8/5/2014 10:10 PM Reduced Baseball 977 Los Angeles Angels/Los Angeles Dodgers* Under 6 +100 
H Santiago - L Listed   C Kershaw - L Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.00 (Loss)

I like this to be another pitcher's duel tonight. I don't think I need to rehash how good Kershaw has been recently. Santiago is getting the start for the Angels, he has been solid this year and doing some relief work recently. I like this game to be another 3-1 or 3-0 type game for the Dodgers at even money on 6 runs I like the under here.

Lets Get It
