Play: Washington Nationals -152
The visitors turn to veteran Ryan Vogelsong (6-6, 4.19 ERA) who was shelled for four runs in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Fish; Vogelsong is now just 4-4 with a ballooned 5.40 ERA on the road this season (also note that Vogelsong owns a pedestrian 4.29 ERA in all "night" games). The home side counters with Jordan Zimmermann (6-5, 3.16 ERA) who was dominating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Braves, not allowing a single run over 7 2/3's innings of work; note that Zimmermann has now given up a total of three runs over his last 22 2/3's innings of work and he has to be feeling pretty confident that he can keep the momentum rolling today as he's posted a highly respectable 2.39 ERA at home so far this season. Recent performance plays a part in my MLB handicapping process, I'm going to give Zimmermann the clear nod in this match-up, if you don't mind laying some juice for a high percentage shot at a winner, then you should definitely take a second look at the NATIONALS in this one.
1ST 5 INNINGS: UNDER 3.5 CLEVELAND INDIANS @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES (-120) & UNDER 6.5
They can lower this total even further and these two offenses still might struggle to hit it here today. We expect another strong pitching performance from a starter pitcher from Cleveland as their starters have now gone 6 straight games in which they have lasted into the 7th inning and compiled a tidy 1.74 ERA combined in that span. Pittsburgh's starters have been equally as tough themselves, holding an ML-best 3.08 ERA on the season and an even more dominant 1.82 ERA over their L6 games. Salazar mowed through the Rays his last time out for Cleveland, shutting down the first 15 Rays, and giving up only 2 H and 1 ER in 7 IP. He has been absolutely dominant in day starts in 2015, allowing a .193 BAA in those games, while going 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA.
Cole has been just as money in matinees himself, with a 1.66 ERA in his 6 starts. The Pirates are 5-1 in those games. Even better the Pirates have won 7 straight interleague games that Cole has started dating back to the 2013 season, while he has posted a 2.82 ERA in those games. Key to this game will be with both pitchers keeping runners in scoring position from crossing the plate, something they both do very well as it is. Salazar has limited opponents to a .218 BAA with RISP, while Cole has been even better with a .195 BAA in the same situation. Pittsburgh is 5-4 for the Under when the total is set at 6.5, while the Indians are 1-3. Take the UNDER in today's meeting.....
Toronto
Given that the Blue Jays' record undersells just how dominant they've been this season (+81 run differential!), my natural inclination is to always back them. But they've yet to record a victory here in Detroit this week (I played TOR on the run line, unsuccessfully, Friday). Yet now, as a slight fave, they are worth backing.
I'm not convinced the Tigers are a very good team right now. They've been outscored on the season and of course their lineup is now w/o Miguel Cabrera, who has landed on the DL for the 1st time in his career. Starter Justin Verlander's return from his own stint on the disabled list has brought nothing in the way of positive results as the team has lost all three of his starts w/ the former Cy Young winner posting a 5.09 ERA and 1.528 WHIP. Detroit's record at home this year is just .500.
Toronto's offense is easily the best in MLB, averaging 5.4 runs per game. They'd scored 23 runs the past three games before getting held to just three Saturday. But pitching could be the key moving forward and today its Marco Estrada on the bump. He's pitched very well recently w/ a 0.778 WHIP his L3 starts and his last time out actually snapped a 5-0 run by the team in his starts. The Blue Jays are just the better team here and should be able to at least salvage a game.
