Live MLB - Sea/Pit: Phi/SF: Min/Bos ESPN 5.30pm - 12am

NEVER, EVER BET ACCAS IN BASEBALL!
It's difficult enough picking one game, without trying to pick several.

 

Seattle Mariners at Pittsburgh Pirates 5.30pm
Hernandez and Burnett are both pitching beautifully and the offenses are stuttering. Unders is the call, but the price is mighty skinny.

 

Pick: Under 6.5 @ 1.83

Philadelphia Phillies at San Francisco Giants 8.45pm

This is a pick where the price is the dominant factor. The Phillies are going for the sweep and Jonathan Pettibone has pitched well since coming up; the Giants have also never seen him. 


Barry Zito is a home pitcher this season, but Philadelphia have reached him before.
The price for the Giants is too short, making the Phillies the value.

 

Pick: Philadelphia Phillies @ 2.4
 

Minnesota Twins at Boston Red Sox 12am
Pedro Hernandez got roughed up last time he pitched in Boston, to the tune of eight earned runs; he's been poor on the road this season and looks vulnerable here. However, the two players who put him to the sword have now left the Bosox and Boston are hitting lefties at just .188 L5

 

I like the look of Allen Webster, one of Boston's top pitching prospects, and the Twins are hitting .228 L5, so I'll take on a line that everyone expects to be beaten.

Pick: Under 9 @ 2.0

(Treble @ 8.78!) 


  24-23 (+2.2)
