08-27-15 | Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 v. Cincinnati Reds | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
Play Los Angeles on the RUN LINE (Game 951). This is my Best Bet. The Dodgers are heating-up, taking Games 1 and 2 of this series and with Zach Greinke looking to rebound from his first loss in more than 2 months, the Reds are in trouble. The RH is 13-3 with an ERA of 1.67. The Major-League ERA Leader dominated Cincinnati back on August 16th, to bring his career record to 6-2 with a 2.62 mark in 11 starts against the Reds. Los Angeles erupted for 5 HR's in this series while Puig has hit safely in 9 straight games. Cincy has lost 11 of their L12, averaging a mere, 2.72 RPG in those losses. When it comes to this matchup, they just can't beat LA, dropping 5 straight this year, by an average of 3.0 RPG. They send Anthony DeSclafani to the hill. The RH was swatted for 10 hits for the second time in 3 turns, his last time out. Overall, the 25-year-old is 7-9, with a 3.97 mark TY, but in 11 starts at home this campaign, he is 3-6 with a whopping, 5.85 ERA. The Dodgers are 5-0 their L5 vs. the NL Central, 16-5 their L21 in Game 3 of a series, and 28-9 in Greinke's L37 starts on 4 days rest. The Reds are 6-22 their L28 vs. the NL West, 0-7 their L7 as a home 'dog, and 0-5 in DeSclafani's L5 starts vs. the NL West. Take Los Angeles on the RUN LINE. Thank you. |

Play Chicago (Game 963). This is my MLB Game of the Month. Chicago has won their L5 games coming into today and on the season, the Cubs have taken all 4 meetings over the Giants. Today, they send Jake Arrieta to the mound. The RH is 15-6 with an ERA of 2.30 on the campaign, including a 9-1 run in his L12 starts.

New York has dropped 3 of their L4 to bring the team a 1/2 GB of Toronto in the AL East while Houston swept LA, 3-0 to widen their lead over Texas by 4 games in the AL West. The Astros hitting has been horrible, posting 3 runs or less in 7 straight outings. They send Scott Feldman to the bump. The RH is 5-5 on the year.

The RH is unbeaten over his L6 starts to bring his record to 11-6 with a 2.03 ERA on the season, racking up his 5th straight Quality Start, and owning a 5-1 mark over his L7 road starts.

Play Toronto (Game 921) on the RUN LINE. This is my Run Line Game of the Month. After a red-hot post All-Star break run, Toronto dropped 2 of 3 to New York but now face the worst team in the Major's in Philadelphia (46-72).

Play Cleveland (Game 963). This is my Power House play. Terry Francona knows the Boston Red Sox and their coaching staff very well, having brought the team 2 World Series titles. Now, the Cleveland manager brings his team into Fenway. Danny Salazar gets the nod today for the Tribe. The RH is 10-6 with a 3.26 ERA record on the year, putting together 6 straight Quality Starts, allowing 1 run or less in his L3 turns.

Play Texas (Game 964). This is my Best Bet play. Houston has played well since the break, but if it wasn't for Los Angeles dropping 6 straight, the Astros would still be in 2nd place in the AL West.

The offense has posted 2 runs or less in 6 of their L7 contests. If it weren't for Harper and Escobar, this team would really be in trouble. The Nationals send Doug Fister to the hill.

The Marlins are 11-2 their L13 as a home fav and with Fernandez throwing, Miami avenges last week's sweep and dropping 5 in a row to the Padres. Take Miami. Thank you. |
