September 14, 2013 Sports Picks

I had an up and down day yesterday going 5-3 for +133.  I have a lot of games on my card today and here they are:

MLB:

Reds -170 $340 to win $200

- Cincinnati got out pitched and out played by the Brewers yesterday but today they have Bailey pitching who is a very good pitcher and has the ability to shut out the Brewers.  Milwaukee has Hellweg starting who has been really bad.  His last start at home against the Reds on July 10th Hellweg gave up 4 earned runs in 4.1 innings.  The Reds need this win.  

 

Pirates -185 $370 to win $200

- I really like Pittsburgh in this game.  If you saw Gerrit Cole pitch in his last start you will understand why.  Cole was throwing in the upper 90s and looked very dominant.  He's young but a big game pitcher.  The Cubs are pitching Scott Baker who has recently come off of the DL.

Pirates -1.5 +110 $150 to win $165

- I'm high on Cole and the Pirates in this game so I'm adding in the runline.

Braves -185 $370 to win $200

- Atlanta is fighting for home field advantage so every game is very important to them.  At the same time they can play relaxed because they aren't fighting for a playoff spot or the division.  Medlen has put together seven quality starts in a row.  He is back to pitching at a high level.

Red Sox -1.5 +130 $150 to win $195

- I am very surprised I am getting these odds with Lester pitching at home.   Boston has been playing great ball and Lester has had a lot of success this year.  His last start at home he shut down the Detroit offense yielding only 1 run in seven innings.  Sabathia hasn't been very good this year and has given up a lot of runs.

Rays -160 $240 to win $150

- Tampa is much better than the Twins and they have Matt Moore pitching tonight.  This is a no brainer.  I didn't go crazy here because Albers is capable of pitching a shut out if the Rays don't figure him out.
