Can't say anything good about yesterday. All 5 sides were hopeful into each game after being down in all of em. Safe to say none turned out the way I wanted. Need to suck it up and post some winners moving forward. A major hill to climb, with no 10 unit plays for a while. Need a 70%+ side run to finish August off and hopefully I can still get to the desired units.
Day by day, one game at a time...

$500 Wsh/Pit Over 9
Garrett Mock will make another start for the hurting Nats. Their rotation has become one of the weakest in baseball and their bullpen is probably at a minor league level these days. In fact, the Nats make just about any team look great. Mock is 0-4 on the season and has yet to win a start dating back to last year where the Nats went 0-3 in his starts. They are 0-3 in his starts this year as well. Opponents have tallied 24 runs in his 3 starts this year averaging 8 RPG. The Nats were outscored 24-10 in those games. With Charlie Morton pitching the way he has, the Nats will struggle to keep this one close. Morton has never faced Washington, but in his 2 home starts as a Pirate, he has one shutout and has allowed 3 ERs in 12 ings. Morton gets my vote, Pirates roll 8-3.
$500 Baltimore +250
Chris Tillmann will make his sophomore start in the big leagues while Verlander will look to continue his new found dominance. The Tigers are a heavy fave in this one, as the Os have slumped of late. Tillmann was broken in well in his first outing allowing 3 ERs in less than 5 innings. He allowed 7 hits, 3 of them homers. The Os come off a tiring series with the Sox and an 18-10 loss yesterday. Tigers have had struggles recently as well dropping 2 of 3 to the lowly Indians on the road. No one has faith in Baltimore on the road against Verlander. Look for a cataclismic upset tonight as Tillmann will keep Detroit in a rut. At this price with a new faced starter with one start under his belt, anything is possible. Don't judge on one start.
