Taking the MARINERS. Not a lot value on the line as we are barely dogs here. But have to fade Tomlin. Guy is clearly struggling this year. 8 HRs allowed in 12+ innings of work. Yikes. He has 4 games, 3 starts under his belt. The lone inning of relief he gave up an unearned run on 3 hits and a walk. So it isn't like his ERA of 9.74 was based on a skewed relief appearance. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the MARLINS. Had the Rockies in Game 1 of the series. But have to say. This line is a bit fishy no? Bettis with a 2.40 ERA in 5 starts. But he has only gotten out of the 5th innings twice. So maybe a bit of regression coming. Caleb Smith with an ERA near 6. The Yanks did a number on him for 5 runs in 2+ innings. He also gave up 3 in 3 to the Phillies on the road. He has struck out 15 in 10.1 innings in his 2 home starts and has 32Ks in 21+ innings of work. I'm calling upset, albeit a small one based on this number. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the PELICANS. I know I should probably get my head checked right? I mean, the Warriors are suppose to be the best team ever assembled. But you have to like what you saw out of NO in Round 1. Have to like teams with nothing to lose, and arguably one of the top couple players in the game on fire right now. Who knows what Curry brings if he plays? I can see Green getting frustrated by Davis and getting himself eject for a game in the series, putting 2 games in jeopardy. Rondo is just a feisty trouble maker, like Iguodala. Not in a bad way - A guy who will get in your face and harass you. This is a nice number to have in our pockets. Nearly double digits. Leaves the back-door open if things get a little dicey. 4* Money Maker NO PELICANS

Taking the DODGERS. So - We have the Nats (9-10) and LAD (8-9), two teams that people think could be in the World Series, not even .500. I get wanting to take Mad Max. Guy is a potential no-no to happen every time he takes the mound. But I am laying the number with Kershaw. When will see him this low at home? LAD 50-11 in his last 61 home starts. Dodgers a perfect 7-0 in Clayton's last 7 home starts vs Nats. 11-2 1.97 ERA for Kershaw vs Washington. Nationals on 6-13 L19 and 10-27 L37 trends in LA. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS

Going UNDER the total here. Thought about Junis getting +110 (KC 10-3 L13 in the series). Just tough to pull the trigger on them right now. They are brutal. I think both pitchers are solid. Tigers in off beating up on the Orioles, with the offense scoring 23 runs. We know that the Royals bats are really bad right now. Fulmer has a 3.33 ERA in 7 career starts vs KC. Junis went 7 giving up 0 runs, allowing only 3 hits in his first start of the year vs the Tigers. That was a 1-0 Detroit win. Tigers won 6-1 in the other game. 4* Total Money UNDER Royals/ Tigers
