5/29 MLB Plays

[Nick Douglas]

39-39, +3723

PITTSBURGH +115 over Florida 300/345

Burnett struggled last time out and the Pirates have suddenly caught fire on offense. The Florida 'pen has been worked pretty hard and is struggling as well. Anderson is really underrated. The risk here is that Manzanillo and Williams are likely not available tonight but Anderson can pitch deep into the game and Mulholland should be ready to go long if needed.

Baltimore +200 over SEATTLE 300/600

Garcia really struggled his last time out and usually pitchers don't struggle for just one game. Seattle is also returning home for a dynamite 5-1 trip against a hot team which is a tough situation. Roberts has not matches his April form but he pitched much better recently and the most important thing is that the Orioles' bats are hot on this recent 5 of 6 streak.

Hey Nick,

Just wanted to get your opinion on Detroit tonight. Santos has outstanding numbers in his few home starts and Burba has been less than impressive. Bats are hot right now and Cleveland bully is fatigued. It all adds up to a very reasonable chance Detroit wins. What's your thoughts??

If I had to choose a side I would choose Detroit but be careful. Detroit really struggled in getting swept by Chicago and Cleveland has big incentive after getting bombed last night. Burba is nothing good at all. Santos is risky, too. First time around the CLE linup last game he did well then he gave up 6 runs the next 1 2/3 inning. I just have a hard time putting my money on a guy who got pummelled by the same lineup his last time out.
