Moyer has been sensational on the road this season, going 8-3 with an impressive ERA of 2.83. Moyer has had success against the Mets in his career (3.11 ERA) but he was blasted his last time out, allowing nine hits and six runs in just three innings. The UNDER is 3-1 in Moyer's last four starts.

The UNDER is 7-2 in Moyer's last 9 starts vs. the Mets. OF

In his last 18 innings of work, Pedro has allowed 14 hits and 11 runs. Martinez has faced the Phillies 20 times over his career, compiling a record of 8-5 to go along with a 3.50 ERA.

The frontrunner for the Cy Young Award has allowed 17 hits and 14 runs in his last eight innings on the mound. Webb will try and get back on track today against a Dodgers squad he's dominated over the years. Webb is 10-4 with a 2.94 ERA versus the Dodgers in his career. However, his last start was against LA and he was chased after giving up eight runs in just 3.1 innings.

Billingsley has been very consistent in his last 10 starts, allowing three runs or less in all of those outings. Not surprisingly, the UNDER is 7-3 over that stretch.

Tigers: Justin Verlander hasn't been impressive over his last 10 starts, allowing five runs or more six times. In his last two outings, Verlander has been bombed for 10 runs in just 7.2 innings pitched. His most recent start against the Yankees was particularly inept. Verlander lasted only 1.2 innings and allowed five runs versus the Bombers. Verlander is 4-4 in his career against the Twins with an ERA of 3.63. The OVER has cashed easily in each of Verlander's last two starts.

There are typically a lot of runs scored when Baker takes the mound. The over is 6-3-1 in his last 10 starts, although seven of those games were on the road.
Twins are 4-1 in Baker's last five home starts.
The OVER is 5-0 in Baker's last 5 vs. AL Central.
