Thursday's Live MLB - 3 Games ESPN 5.30pm - 8.30pm - 12am

San Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds 5.30pm

Cincinnati are rolling, there are echoes of The Big Red Machine, which is all the more remarkable given that Joey Votto is out and Brandon Phillips looks as though he'll be missing too.

Johnny Cueto has been solid and his splits at home are excellent. Ross Ohlendorf has nice numbers L3, but his numbers against the Reds and on the road are less encouraging.

Difficult to wring any value out of the market, but I'll try to ride that home team momentum.

Pick: Cincinnati Reds -1.5 @ 2.1


New York Mets at San Francisco Giants 8.30pm


The Giants aren't hitting, and although Young hasn't been great L3, he's traditionally done OK in San Francisco, although it's three years since he pitched in AT&T Park.

I'll rely on those elements and Zito's good form, to take this Under.
Pick: Under 7.5 @ 2.00

Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals 12am


Cole Hamels owns the Nats and he's the value here.

Pick: Philadelphia Phillies @ 2.04
