J Hellickson - R Listed   M Buehrle - L Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.50 (Loss)

Buehrle went from the best pitcher in the MLB early this season to one of the worst. For August he is currently sitting at a 6.39 ERA with a 2.29 WHIP. He has only won 1 of his last 11 starts, although the Jays have been helping him out with some come from behind wins. For this reason I am going with the 5 inning line for the Rays. I am also taking the Rays for the game as they have been deadly on the road. They are 4-1 over their last 5 road games, and they are up against the Jays who are 2-7 since getting 2 extra inning wins over Detroit a few weeks ago. Over the last 9 games all of the Jays losses have been by 2 or more runs, and they are allowing a league worst 4.7 runs per game in August.

Take the Rays 1st half for 1 unit and put another unit on the Run line.

J Guthrie - R Listed   N Tepesch - R Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 0.86 (WINNER)

We are coming right back with KC again today vs the struggling Rangers. KC is allowing over a full run less per game than the Rangers and the combined run differential is a whopping 1.36 on the year. KC is making a run and they have one of the best closing teams in the business. If KC can keep this one close or get the lead through 6 innings I like them to close this one out without much trouble. Go with KC to get another big win vs the struggling Rangers, ML and RL.

8/23/2014 1:35 PM Reduced Baseball 973 Seattle Mariners* -1½ +167  vs Boston Red Sox
C Young - R Listed   B Workman - R Listed
Risking 1.00 To Win 1.67 (WINNER)

I am very surprised at the value we are getting on the run line here. Boston showed last night that they really don't have the confidence to win right now, blowing a 3 run lead in the 9th inning to lose 5-3. Seattle has been cruising along outscoring their opponents by over 2 runs per game. Seattle has a better starting pitcher tonight with Young at 3.11 ERA vs Workman at 4.41. This is a great road runline value play at +167. We don't usually get payouts this high on a total the run line for games with a total of over 8. 

Lets Get It
