MLB ACTION TOP PLAY!!!...Take Baltimore at +105 to beat Anaheim! Baltimore starter Jason Johnson has been stellar at home this season! He's got a 1.30 home ERA, is 3-0 at Camden Yards and the Orioles have won 4 of his 5 starts there, has pitched 34.2 innings, allowed 24 hits, 4 walks, 5 earned runs, 1 homer, and has fanned 18 batters. He has a May ERA of 2.13, a 2.91 ERA on grass, 1.99 in night games, has pitched vs. 5 teams this year and has a 3.06 ERA against all teams with exception on Detroit, allows lefties a .234 average, allows a .194 average to opposing hitters at Camden Yards, allows a .239 average with runners on, and .224 with runners in scoring position. In 3 of his 5 home games he's faced Boston, New York, and Minnesota and allowed just 4 earned runs in 23 innings vs. those teams. Pretty solid numbers! Although Baltimore's season number's don't look all that great, they've shown marked improvement as of late. The team is 5-2 in their last 7 games at home and are 6-2 in their last 8 games overall. The Orioles hit .280 with runners in scoring position, the pen has a 3.88 ERA and allows a .237 average to opposing hitters, the team has a 4.00 home ERA, and the league hits .237 when they come to Camden Yards. Hot hitters over the last 10 games include: Bordick .346, Conine .526, Hairston .346, Kinkade .375, and Mora .316....
On the flip side, Anaheim hasn't played very well as of late. The team is 1-3 in their last 4, 3-7 in their last 10 overall and are 8-16 on the road this season. Cold Angel hitters over the last 10 days include: Eckstein .214, Gil .222, Molina .133, Salmon .130, and Spezio .200. The Angels hit .256 vs. right handers, .253 on the road, .249 with runners in scoring position, and the top of the lineup isn't getting it done with the 1-2-3-4-6 hitters hitting .267, .229, .219, .237, and .216 respectively. Take Baltimore as a home dog!
MLB ACTION TOP PLAY!!!....Take the "under" in the Detroit/Cleveland game! Detroit starter Victor Santos hasn't given up hardly anything this season. Get a load of these numbers..28.1 innings pitched, 14 hits!, 2 EARNED RUNS!, but has allowed 17 bases on balls. That still hovers around a 1.00 whip which is very sharp. On the road this season, Santos has gone 12.1 innings, has given up 8 hits, while allowing 2 earned runs. In night games, he's gone 19.2 innings, allowed 12 hits, 13 walks, and has yielded just a 0.92 ERA. He's allowed a tiny .174 average to lefties and .130 to righties. As a starter, he's only allowed 4 hits in 37 at bats this season! Nasty! The Detroit bats have been cooling recently and have only scored 8 runs in their last 3 games combined.
The Indians have a home ERA of 3.87 and a 3.52 ERA to Detroit this season in 64 innings pitched. The league hits .224 against Cleveland relievers, opponents hit .244 in Cleveland, and teams hit .256 with runners in scoring position at Jacobs Field. Dave Burba is coming off a nice outing in which he went 7 innings while allowing 1 earned run. Burba has a 2.97 night ERA this season. Take the "under" in this game!
Good luck!
