5-1 since i came back to the boards.
Today is a tough day to bet not very much out there. i wouldnt go big on anything today but heres who i like


Cincinnati Reds -122

I’m siding with the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday to bounce back from back-to-back shutout losses to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cincinnati trails Pittsburgh in the NL Central standings, and will be highly motivated to avoid the sweep tonight. The Reds send their best starter to the mound in Johnny Cueto, who is 5-3 with a 2.01 ERA and 1.004 WHIP in 13 starts this season. Cueto is 9-3 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.119 WHIP in 14 career starts against Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati has an excellent chance to get their bats while against Pittsburgh starter Jeff Karstens. While Karstens is having a solid year, he has not fared well against the Reds. He is 0-4 with a 6.47 ERA and 1.860 WHIP in five career starts against Cincinnati. In his lone start versus the Reds in 2011, Karstens allowed 5 earned runs, 9 base runners and 2 home runs in 4 1/3 innings of work. The Reds are 5-0 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series. Cincinnati is 5-0 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Roll with the Reds Wednesday.

Florida Marlins -145


Tampa Bay Rays -143

They snapped a three-game losing streak to the Yankees and tonight they send David Price to the hill. He has had a very solid season even though it has not shown in his win-loss record as he has a 3.73 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP through 20 starts. He has been more solid at home and he looks to avenge two bad starts against the Yankees this season including the last at Yankee Stadium where he allowed Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit.
New York counters with Freddy Garcia and like Bartolo Colon who pitched last night, the Yankees have to be ecstatic with what they have gotten. Garcia has a 3.43 ERA through 16 starts but he does have a rather lofty 1.32 WHIP in those games. In his first game back from the break, he was rocked for five runs in five innings at Toronto which came after five straight quality starts to close out the first half. Garcia has a 1.57 ERA in seven daytime starts but that balloons to a 5.12 ERA in seven starts under the lights. 3* (926) Tampa Bay Rays

im adding another one

Los Angeles Dodgers +122

Wednesday on the MLB diamond, sports betting players will be treated to a Rockstar matchup as two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum will lead San Francisco out at home while taking on fellow All-Star Clayton Kershaw, who is a leading candidate for this year’s Cy Young award. Kershaw (10-4, 2.88) allowed four runs, but there were none earned in a 6-4 win in Arizona, as he scattered five hits over seven innings, striking out eight and walking a pair of batters. Lincecum (8-7, 2.99) returned from the break with a victory in a 6-1 win in San Diego, giving up a run on three hits over six innings with seven strikeouts and three walks. “The Freak” stumbled in June but has since bounced back to go 3-1 in his last five starts. These aces met on Opening Day in Los Angeles, with Kershaw coming away with a 2-1 win and you should expect another low-scoring affair. The key here may be the time of day: Kershaw is 3-0 in five afternoon starts with a 2.70 ERA, while Lincecum is 3-3 in six day starts with a 3.76 ERA.
5* Underdog Play

Clayton Kershaw +122 It’s a stiff test for the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw going up against the NL West leading Giants and Tim Lincecum, but it’s a test I think they are up for as Kershaw has pitched extremely well in San Francisco over his career and has been red hot with back to back shut outs. Kershaw in 8 starts in his career vs. the Giants has a 1.64 ERA. In his 3 career starts in San Franciso he’s got a 0.79 ERA. The Giants have been well let’s just put this honestly, pathetic at home with their offense. They have been worst vs. LHP managing a .236 average and just 2.61 runs per 9 vs. LHP. Dodgers meanwhile have .269 average and 4.28 runs per 9 vs. RHP on the road this year and have had some success vs. Lincecum of late.

Lincecum is a stud, but he’s not having a Cy Young award winning year he’s just 3-4 during his day starts with an ERA over 3 while Kershaw is 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA during day starts. In Lincecum’s last 6 starts vs. the Dodgers he’s given up 15 ER over 34 IP. Still very good, but going up against Kershaw he’s going to have to be better. Expect another low scoring game but with +122 odds on Kershaw and the Giants struggles vs. LHP and Kershaw we could not help but play this game.
