Milwaukee Brewers at New York Mets
Play: Milwaukee Brewers +128
The Brewers come to New York City for a 4 game series against the Mets and we have a nice live dog here with Milwaukee. The starting pitchers are for the Brewers RH Matt Garza (2-1, 3.60 ERA) and he faces the Mets RH Robert Gsellman (2-3, 6.45 ERA) Garza has pitched decent for the Brewers this year and he has been excellent on the road with a 1.38 ERA in 2 road starts. On May 12th, Garza held the Mets to 2 runs over 6 innings in a 7-4 victory. As for Gsellman the 23 yr old has become a work in progress for the Mets but he just hasn't been able to do much right this year as his 6.45 ERA would suggest. Gsellman's last start against Milwaukee was a disaster as he allowed 6 runs in 4 innings pitched. At the time of this writing we are getting the Brew Crew at plus 128 and we will be happy to take it. The Brewers are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between the clubs which just solidifies our selection.

SAN FRANCISCO (+105) over Washington
The Nationals have been a juggernaut this season, but their one downfall has been left-handed pitching. Washington is scoring 5.6 runs per game this season but against southpaw starters that number drops to 3.5. Today they face Giants lefty Matt Moore, who after a rough start to the season has settled in and pitched very well posting a 2.79 ERA in his last three starts. He has also pitched very well at home, going 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in four starts. The Nats have also struggled as a team in this ballpark, winning just two of the last eight meetings against the Giants over the last three seasons.

Giants -105
The Nationals have been sloppy over the last few games on the base path and they are lucky to have won a few games in which their opponent simply couldn’t score. Washington had to fly across country and will be playing in a early start. Matt Moore is starting to settle in for the Giants and I just don’t trust the Nationals bullpen right now.

Boston @ Chicago
Pick: Under 9.5
Boston has taken a step back offensively without David Ortiz, #23 in slugging and last in homers. They've been involved in three shutouts the last three games, losing 5-0 at home to Seattle yesterday. Boston is 19-7 UNDER the total on the road against a lefty starter and faces White Sox southpaw David Holmberg (0.87 ERA). Boston unveils ace David Price for the first time this season, after going 17-9 last year with 228 strikeouts. This is a good pitcher's park and Chicago is #15 in runs scored, #22 in on-base percentage, and 14-6-2 UNDER the total when they face a team with a winning record.
