The Bucs are rollin'; the Cards are definitely not.
Even Adam Wainwright is struggling and the home team may be worth a little touch on the runline - really.
Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates -1.5 @ 3.00
52 - 61 (-5.94)

Live MLB - LA Angels at Texas Rangers 12am ESPN
Both teams are struggling, although Texas look deeper in the mire.
The Halos have been hit by the news that Pujols has hit the 15-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis (something I have suffered with - that's where the similarity ends!) but Jered Weaver has shown some form of late, going 0.98/1.77 L3.
Matt Garza has won six straight and is on a seven QS streak.
The bats are ice cold and the two hurlers are hot. I'll go Under.
Pick: Under 7 @ 2.5
52 - 61 (-5.94)

Live MLB - Philadelphia Phillies at St Louis Cardinals 12am ESPN
Neither of these pitchers can carry my money and with St Louis rampant, I'll take on the total.
Pick: Over 7.5 @ 1.91
Pick: Over 7.5 @ 1.91
Live MLB - New York Yankees at Texas Rangers 7pm ESPN
The Yankees look done, but Hiroki Kuroda is red hot, going 2-0 with a 0.95/0.95 WHIP/ERA over his last three starts.
Derek Holland doesn't have bad numbers either L3, and is stronger at home this season. He shut out the Yankees in New York, but they've knocked him about over his career (1-5, 7.21 ERA).
The Yankees have been pretty anaemic at the plate and that, coupled with Kuroda's form, makes me favour the Unders.
Pick: Under 8 @ 1.87
51 - 60 (-5.81)

Live MLB - New York Yankees at Texas Rangers 12am ESPN
Sometimes, you have to trust in the force.
Nova has been red hot of late and threw a one-hit blank in Arlington last time he was in town.
The Rangers are on a four game losing streak and, although the beat up and struggling Yankees (A-Rod, like Jeter, has managed to re-injure himself) are a huge dog, I'm going to take them against Darvish coming off the DL.
Pick: New York Yankees @ 2.8
51 - 59 (-4.81)

Live MLB - Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals 12am ESPN
Verlander is 15-2 with a 2.56 ERA in 25 career starts against Kansas
City and has a 0.64 ERA in his two matchups this season.
Jeremy Guthrie has given up 11 runs in 8 2/3 innings over his last two home starts and has a 4.26 ERA at Kauffman Stadium.
Neither team is hitting the cover off it, but Detroit does prefer right handed pitching.
I'll take the road team on the runline.
Pick: Detroit Tigers -1.5 @ 2.0

Live MLB - Atlanta Braves at Chicago White Sox 9pm ESPN
I don't like the Chisox losing streak and I don't like pitchers coming off the DL. However, Peavy has been tough at US Cellular Field and Malholm has struggled mightily on the road.
I'm tempted by the Overs, particularly as it's unlikely Peavy will go deep into this game and the home team bullpen has been vulnerable, but I think Atlanta look the value, even with Malholm on the hill against a struggling Chicago White Sox.
Perhaps keep stakes small, though.
Pick: Atlanta Braves @ 2.03
51 - 57 (-2.81)
