Going OVER the total here. I will say I was totally wrong about the Chargers as we backed them last week. But I absolutely love, LOVE this total here tonight. Both teams off of lack-luster performances. Nary a hint of offense to be found. I think the coaches take the gloves off, and ease up on the leashes here in Week 2. I expect we see the starters play at least a quarter and get us close to half-way home on this total. To be honest, it will be a shock to me if this game isn't at almost 30 by the half. 10* Total of the Week OVER Cardinals/Chargers

Going OVER the total here. Both these teams put up some points in Week 1. Look. We might see Tannehill for a little more than a series and who knows if Romo makes a cameo. But we have to be happy that we get Prescott coming in for Dallas after he looked impressive against the Rams. Matt Moore didn't look bad either. It was painfully obvious last year and appears so this season, that the Cowboys have a leaky secondary. They allowed 14 points in the final 7 minutes. Sean Mannion carved them up. Matt Moore is a capable NFL backup. And Brandon Doughty passed for 97 TDs his last 2 years in college. I am positive, POSITIVE, they move the ball and put points on the board vs the Dallas defense. 4* Total Money OVER Dolphins/ Cowboys

Taking the TIGERS on the RL here tonight. I know you look at Rick Porcello and see that 16-3 and want to grab him at a PK. But we have some numbers working in our favor here with Detroit. First, Porcello comes back as a visitor to face his old team. Career here, nothing special going 36-29 4.58 ERA in 89. On the road. 4-3 3.70 ERA in 11 starts. Tigers will get their 4 runs off him. For the Motor City Kitties, this kid Fulmer has been pretty good. In 5 home starts he is 2-0 1.41 ERA .180 BA Against and .84 WHIP. Unlike Porcello his road ERA (2.56 14 starts) isn't much different. I just think we have the small edge on the hill here and for the added value of laying the 1.5, I will take the home team. 4* RL Money DETROIT TIGERS

Taking the BROWNS here. Yes. A BEST BET play on these guys. A team who's first score of the preseason was a safety and then allowed 2 safeties as the final 2 scoring plays. You can't make this stuff up. Same old Cleveland! That being said. I nearly played them against GB last week, but deep in my gut knew that the value would be here at home. And it is as they get zero respect and can't even lay the home FG as a fave. Bottom line is this. That game was terrible last week. I think RG3 gets a little more action here. I think HC Hue Jackson wants the fans to know things are different. I'm looking at this as a double digit win. 5* Best Bet CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking the ASTROS here. Ok. I did back the Orioles last night. And as of this writing at 1030pm, they are getting 8-1 and sitting in a delay. That being said, this is a play based on our pitcher. This kid Musgrave has looked good beating both Texas and Toronto. 7 innings in both games, 3 earned and 13 Ks. He did go 4.1 in a relief spot and struck out 8. A .185 BA against and .76 WHIP facing the Blue Jays for 11+ innings and the Rangers for 7 more is pretty impressive. Now Gausman has a nice home split, 3-1 2.39 ERA in 8 starts. But is just 5-15 vs teams with winning records. He faced Houston back in May and gave up 4 earned in 5 innings. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS

Taking the TIGERS here. I am doing this game at 2pm on Wednesday. Why? A pure scheduling fade of Boston. Had a makeup game Monday. Then Tuesday and Wednesday night games in Baltimore. This is a quick turn around for them. 1pm start. What time they getting to the stadium 11? When did they get in last night? Midnight at the earliest. Just a bad spot for them. Boyd has a 2.08 August ERA in 2 starts, a .174 BA against and 1.08 WHIP. A favorable home split adds to his value. Clay Bucholz looks like he will be getting the ball for Boston. Wonderful. I will happily fade away on this guy and his 5.34 road ERA. Bullpen, starting. Doesn't matter. He will give up 3-4 runs in the first couple innings. Take out the 2 years he went 28-8 and he is 48-52 in his career. And his ERA goes up from 4 to 4.64. The guy is mediocre at best. 5* Best Bet DETROIT TIGERS

But the O's have some sluggers. Also, a guy on the hill in Chris TIllman who is 15-4 on the year. Baltimore is 20-5 when he pitches. 8-1 here at home. 10-3 2.74 ERA in 19 career starts vs Red Sox. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES Looks like Dylan Bundy is making the start as Tillman is pushed back. Can actually get the O's at +125 now. Bundy has been just as good since joining the rotation. He has been really at the top of his game posting a 1.93 August ERA in 3 starts with 19KS and 4 walks in 18+ innings. A tidy WHIP of .64 makes keeping Baltimore in play tonight easy.

As I wrote the same words for last nights game. But I can't back Cain. This isn't 2012. He has an ERA nearing 6 since he came back off the DL. a 5.12 home ERA in 10 starts and opposing hitters are roping him for an average over .300. Plus a 1.61 WHIP.

He is pitching great here in August with a .64 ERA in 14 innings, a .184 BAA and WHIP of .86. 10ks and just 3 walks in those 14 innings of work won't make it any easier for the Giants who have struggled to score.

Twins on a 8-2 over run last 10, Braves 6 of their last 10. De La Cruz doesn't have impressive splits at all. 12 walks and 16Ks in 33 innings and 34 hits. He puts guys on base. Bad teams seem to produce runs when facing other bad teams. Steady veteran Ervin Snatana is having a solid year ERA wise (3.62). But allowing a .293 BAA on the road and a 1.43 WHIP lets me know that Atlanta will have some opportunities to score. I think we see 4-4 by the 5th and cash another ticket. 4* Total Money OVER Twins/Braves

But a .220 BAA is still respectable enough to slow down the Angels. These guys are wasting Trout's prime years with zero pitching staff or lineup help. Halos have dropped 10 in a row. I know that Hernandez doesn't have the greatest numbers vs the Angels. But this team is not near as good as the teams of past. Mariners are now just 2 back of the wild card. Ricky Nolasco? He has a 5.14 ERA on the year. Last year in 9 games 6.75. 2014 5.38 in 27 starts. See a trend here. The guy is bad. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Miley is a nice innings eater for Baltimore, but he is the type of guy who is going to come in, strike out 10 and give up 1 run over 8. Before coming over from the Mariners, he had road ERA of 5 and opposing hitters were raking him at a .285 clip. San Fran has been slumping since the break.

Taking the CHARGERS here. First. We know that Mike McCoy tries to win a bit in preseason (7-4-1 ATS). We also have the Titans ex HC as our OC (Ken Whisenhunt) who did pretty good with the QB here. Now, we won't get a flurry of Phillip Rivers and that is fine. But, we have seen in the past a team get up for a coach facing an old team, regardless of how many wins (3-20) he had there over the year. We also have QB Zach Metteberger facing a team he started 10 games for. Kellen Clemens is a veteran who should have success against 3rd and 4th string defenders. So, I am sure MIke Mularky is a great family man and person. But let's be honest here. 2-7 last year after being promoted to HC of these Titans. 2-14 his only season with the Jags (2014). 9-7 then 5-11 with the Bills back in 2004-2005. And he is going to be successful with a 2nd year QB playing a few snaps and journeyman Matt Cassell coming in? Alex Tanney out of that QB U Monmouth University? Hey. I'm a Jersey Guy. Would love to see him do something great. But in the world of sports gambling, I am all in on the Chargers to roll here. 10* Money Bomb SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

Duffy is off a 16K gem as he took a no-no into the 8th. He has a 2.98 ERA on the year in 31 game, 15 starts. KC has gone under in 7 of 10, Jays 6 in a row.

Pitchers are pitching. They are ready to make a move and the Indians tripped up a bit and KC and Chicago have gone off the rails for the year. A good veteran lineup will work 'Thor' for all he's worth tonight. And let's be honest. This Mets group has been flat of late. They made the move for Bruce and then lose Cespedes and can't knock off the Yankees who raised the white flag with their deadline deals. Verlander looks reborn with a 1.69 ERA in July along with a .89 WHIP and .171 BAA. I like Syndergaard and can't knock his numbers.

Reds haven't gotten the memo to give up and are playing pretty good ball right now winning 6 of 10. Taillon is another youngster with just 8 starts on the year.

Taking the MARLINS here. Cubs played some extra innings last night so the pen is a bit thin tonight. Marlins come in off a huge win and find themselves right in the thick of a playoff spot. Conley has been dealing pretty good through July posting a 1.82 ERA in his 5 starts. Look. I can't knock Hendricks. He has been just as dominate lately. This is really just getting some good value on a nice dog. Chicago off an extra innings Sunday night game, while the Marlins are playing with plenty of pep in their step. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

That didn't stop them from playing well. They have slumped. I get it. But Sale has nice numbers vs the Cubs (.56 ERA 16 innings 28Ks) and Lackey has a 6.12 ERA his last 7 starts.

Taking the ROCKIES here. Will grab Gray as he has a 2.93 ERA his last 11 starts. Can't really complain about a guy like that on the hill getting a nice number. The guy has really had a nice year if you take out 3 starts. 20 earned in 12 innings. That menas there is only 27 ERs in his other 90 innings of work. Not too shabby for the youngster. A .229 BAA and 1.16 WHIP are more than respectable for me here. Rockies won last night here (I had BLT RL) so I think that offense will carry over tonight vs Bundy. He is another young arm making his 3rd start out of the 'pen. He is still getting stretched out so I expect 5, maybe 6 innings tops. And that's only if we don't tag him for 4 or 5 runs by then. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the ORIOLES on the RL here. I can't ever lay more that 150. Maybe, 160 tops. But I will go RL with this O's lineup against Bettis who sports a road split of a 5.18 ERA. He isn't much of a strikeout guy, and this lineup can rip bad pitching. Hats off to Chris Tillman quietly putting together a really great season. 14-2 3.18 ERA, .226 BAA and 1.19 WHIP isn't too shabby. He has been nearly lights out in July giving up 1 run in 7 innings in each of his 4 starts. He is a perfect 8-0 at home in 12 starts. 4* RL Money BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the RANGERS here. I know that Texas has been slipping lately. But at this price, we have to play on the better team. Perez at home is a totally different pitcher. 6-1 2.48 ERA in 9 starts. He isn't a strike out guy, but he does whatever he does to be successful here at home. A's are clearly rebuilding. I think they sell off some pieces this week for sure. Daniel Mengden is a rookie who, although striking out a guy an inning, looks over-matched at times. He is having a brutal month of July with an ERA over 9 and BAA over .300 with a 2+ WHIP. That won't get it done here. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

I just can't see the Yankee bats getting good contact here. I know Tanaka is having a nice year and is clearly NY's best pitcher. But he has pedestrian numbers at home, 3-1 4.71 ERA i n 10 starts. Before this losing streak, the Giants had the best record in all of MLB. This is a good team, and when we can get a Cy Young guy like this getting a couple bucks, count me in. 8* Sure Shot SF GIANTS

Taking the WHITE SOX here. We have been on the Shields bandwagon lately with mixed results taking 2 straight losses while giving up 3 runs in 15+ innings. The guy has a 1.91 ERA his last 4 starts and needs some more run support, which should be readily available facing Mike Pelfrey. Pelfrey's ERA has dipped under 5, but the guy is still allowing hitters to rack him at a .332 clip. 332! A WHIP of 1.76. 134 hits allowed in 100 innings. Plus his K/BB ratio is basically even at 46-42. I guess you can say he has respectable 3.53 ERA in 10 road starts (0-6). But again. A 294 BA against and 1.73 WHIP look to me like he is a time bomb on the opposing pitchers mound. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Going with the PHILLIES on the RL tonight. Hey, I know Philly will win this one so why not lay the extra half run and go for the big money? Eickhoff has pitched pretty good his last 9 starts going 4-3 with a 3.42 ERA. But if we look past him getting buried for 8 runs in Colorado, that ERA dips to 2.34. At home he has a very good 2.45 ERA in 10 starts. A 1.05 WHIP helps the cause. Tom Koehler has been opposite. He has pitched into the 5th once in his last 4 starts giving up 29 hits with an ERA of 7+! Koehler with a whopping .362 BA against here in July. His road splits aren't much better posting a 5.02 ERA in 11 starts with opposing hitters batting .294 against him and a WHIP of 1.74. His K (39) BB (32) ratio just adds more potential runners to the base paths. 4* RL Money PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

DLR has great home numbers for his career. 57-17 L74. Tampa is flat out reeling. (These numbers do not include Tuesday nights game). Dropping 9 of 10, 19 of their last 26 on the road, 15-38 last 53. Archer is 4-13 this year. Tampa is 7-19 in Archers last 26 road starts. I'll be honest, I thought they would be a surprise team. Surprised alright. At how terrible the bats and pitching has been. So back to Archer, a terrible 6.75 ERA in 10 road starts with a .301 BA against and 1.71 WHIP. 10* Money Bomb COLORADO ROCKIES

He has a 5+ ERA on the year. 6.91 last 7 games including 3 turns out of the pen where he gave up 0 runs in 8 innings. So he is good for 2+ innings. I think the Orioles bats will get to him eventually. He is still the same guy who gave up 6,5,4,6,5,5 runs in his previous 6 starts.

Kazmir hasn't been anything special. 7-3 looks good, but he has a mid 4 ERA and clearly is struggling of late giving up 7 runs in 14 innings. That just underscores his innings of 5,6,3 in those 3 outings. He hasn't gone more than 6+ since mid-May and only twice on the year. Again, a 3-0 road record looks good on the year until you see in those 8 starts he has a 5.40 ERA. He strikes out guys, but gives up hits at costly times. They only thing I know about this kid Lopez for the Nats is that he was a strikeout machine this year. Dodgers have some free swingers so that will the rookie out. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS

Going UNDER the total here. Not really much to say about this. I look at Tropeano's and Griffin's number and I think we aren't seeing a lot of runs. Both offenses have struggled to score runs at times. Both pitchers have solid numbers. Striking out a guy an inning. The walks scare me a bit to be honest with you. But I still think we see about 6 runs here tonight. Rangers have gone under in 4 of their last 5 on the road and 4 of the last 5 Griffin has started on the road.

I didn't believe in Lackey when he had a great run in May and I am not believing in him now. He has been roughed up in 3 of his last 4 starts and I think that is what we will see from the 37 year old the rest of the season. Hamels is 6-1 with a 2.09 ERA on the road. 48 hits allowed in 60 innings. Texas 24-6 in Cole's last 30 starts, 11-4 last 15 on the road.

He has been just an average pitcher since then. His strikeouts are up, but still sports that mid 4 ERA. Angels 4-15 in Shoemaker's last 19 home starts. And you are laying this number?

Taking the ROYALS here. We have had Duffy in our stable several times this year. Guy is a solid under the radar starter. Can't argue the fact that KC has played like crap on the road. But Duffy gives them a more than solid shot at win here. KC 8-3 in his last 11 starts. A 2.04 road ERA, .98 WHIP . 213 BA against. I'll gladly grab him at this price over Pelfrey. So he has turned in 2 solid road starts heading into the break. His ERA was 5.13 before dropping into the 4.5s with 12+ innings of 2 run ball. He still has been lit up at home with an ERA approaching 6 (5.70) in starts with opposing hitters slapping him at a .363 clip! He has given up 12 HRs so far in 98 innings when he gave up 11 all of last year in 164. In 2 of the last 4 years when he played basically an entire year (30,5,29,3 starts) he has allowed hitters to hit 300 or better. Even in the 2 injured years if you want. So this years .329 is more of the same. And that means the Royals getting some chances at scoring runs. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

As I said about Houston, they have been red hot of late winning 20 of 27. But McCullers is a weak link in my eyes. Houston 3-11 his last 14 road starts.

But I think we the break, we will get a solid outing here. Pineda has more walks this year (26) in 65 less innings than last year (21). Teams are wrapping him for a .274 average. Giving up more hits than innings pitched is not a recipe for success vs Boston. Sox 7-3 last 10 in the series. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX
