September 11, 2013 Sports Picks

My picks for today:

Reds -170 $600 to win $353
- Reds lost two in a row at home against the lowly Cubs.  I like Leake today to beat Samardzjia, who is coming off two very poor starts, in a must win.  

Marlins -105 $210 to win $200
-  I'll bet with Jose Fernandez in every game he pitches regardless of the opponent.  The guy is unhittable. 

Dodgers -144 $144 to win $100
- Smaller bet with the Dodgers today but they are home and Ryu has been good.  Corbin has struggled recently as well but he's capable of shutting teams out.

Royals -115 $115 to win $100
- KC has a big pitching advantage with Shields vs. Kazmir.  Kazmir has struggled lately.

Yankees under 9 -120 $240 to win $200
- Both Pettite and Feldman have been very good over the last 30 days.  I like the under 9 in this game.

Rays -1.5 +160 $100 to win $160
- Tampa has been struggling but I'll take the chance based on the pitching matchup.  Cobb is very good at home and Dempster hasn't pitched well in 4 of his last 5 starts.

A's -160 $480 to win $300
- Oakland is in the same situation as Cincinnati.  They need to avoid the sweep in a must win.  I'm a big fan of Sonny Gray.

Rangers under 8.5 -115 $115 to win $100

-  I can't believe I lost this bet last night.  Texas just had to score those two runs in the 8th.  Today we have another great pitching matchup with Garza vs. Burnett.

** Late Game additions:
Mariners vs. Astros under 9 +115 $200 to win $230
- I know both pitchers have struggled but getting 9 runs with a +115 is too much to pass up.

Astros +1.5 -155 $155 to win $100
- Peacock has pitched much better than Maurer and the Astros have been hitting lately.
