San Francisco at FLORIDA -110
Tonight I like the OVER in the Giants-Marlins game.
Last night, San Francisco scored 8, as they won their third in a row. If they are to up that streak to four straight, chances are they are going to have to score a few runs.
San Fran starter Matt Cain just surrendered 6 runs in 7 innings at home against the White Sox, and now he takes his act on the road where his ERA is over 5 for the season!
Countering will be Burke Badenhop who just took the loss his last start, giving up 5 runs in only 3 innings of work.
Badenhop's season ERA is near 7, and the G-Man doesn't feel very confident in this kid holding the suddenly alive Giant bats down in this start.
Plenty of crooked digits on the scoreboard tonight in Miami.
Take the OVER.

Kansas City Royals vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Play: Kansas City Royals
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on KC – Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 90-67 and has made 27.8 units since 2002. Play on road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 that are below average AL hitting teams batting <=.265 and is now facing a team with a very good bullpen sporting an ERA <=3.33. KC is 29-23 (+18.1 Units) against the money line versus an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.00 to 4.70 over the last 3 seasons. Toronto is just 5-12 (-9.4 Units) against the money line when playing against a team with a losing record this season; 1-7 (-9.3 Units) against the money line in home games versus poor fielding teams that are turning 0.8 or less DP's/game this season. Luke Hochevar will start this second game of this series. There really wasn’t much Luke could do in his last start, a 7-0 loss to the Red Sox on Monday in Boston. As it turned out that after allowing 1 run he was in trouble as Jon Lester tossed the first no-hitter against the Royals in over 35 years. As for Hochevar’s night, he allowed 7 runs (4 earned) on 5 hits with a uncharacteristic 6 walks in 6.0 innings. He had prefaced that outing with a strong 2-0 win over the Tigers in Kauffman Stadium on May 14, tossing 6.0 innings allowing only 4 hits with 3 walks and 5 K’s. He posted his first Major League win at home on April 26 over Toronto, 2-1, allowing a run on 6 hits in 6.0 innings, then recorded his second win in Cleveland on May 3, allowing just 2 runs in 6.0 innings in knocking off defending Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia. He is allowing a paltry 227 BA on the season and there has just not been enough scouting on him for the opposition to prepare. He has faced current members of the Blue Jays in just 21AB and this essentially makes him like a starter making his Major League debut. That is a significant advantage to have given that he NOT making his debut and has gained valuable experience. Take KC.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Atlanta Braves
In the first game of this series the Diamondbacks crushed the Braves 11-1. The Braves were a hot team winning 4 straight and sweeping the Mets before getting handed a beat down at the hands of the Diamondbacks last night. The Braves are 7-3 in their last 10 games, while the Diamondbacks are 6-4 in their last 10 games. Taking the mound for the Diamondbacks is Randy Johnson (4-1 4.42 ERA), who has pitched well since starting the season on the DL and in his last outing the Big Unit went 7 strong innings giving up 0 earned runs in the win. In yesterday's win over the Braves the Diamondbacks scored 11 runs on 9 hits and left 3 men on base. The game was a home run derby for the D-backs, as Stephen Drew, Eric Byrnes, Conor Jackson, Chris Young, and Mark Reynolds, all went deep in the game. Taking the mound for the Braves is Jorge Campillo (1-0 0.99 ERA), who will be making only his 3rd Big League start on 3 days rest. In his last outing Campillo was solid, going 6 innings and giving up 0 earned runs in the win. In yesterday's loss the Braves scored 1 run on 6 hits and left 6 men on base.
Staff Pick: this game features the team that has the best record in the NL, the Diamondbacks (29-19), against the team with the best home record in the Majors, (20-6) in the Braves. Yesterday's game was a sloppy one, as both teams committed 2 errors. The Braves were on a roll after sweeping the New York Mets, but were thoroughly embarrassed last night giving up 5 home runs and losing by 10 runs to the D-Backs. The pitching match up would seem to favor the D-backs, as Randy Johnson only has 561 more Major League starts than Campillo, but the ex reliever has pitched well this season when in the starting role for the Braves. The Diamondbacks rank 2nd in runs scored in the NL (251), while the Braves rank 5th (233). The Braves will look to exact some revenge in this game and Turner Field is the toughest place in the Majors to win this season. The D-backs are under .500 on the road this year (10-11) and will look to even their road record in today's game. The Big Unit is on the hill, but is not his dominant old self even though he has pitched well this season and is 4-1.The Diamondbacks were dominant in April having the NL's second-best offense (5.9 runs per game) but In May, they have the second-worst (4.0). Look for the Braves to play with a little chip on their shoulder in this game, as they were smoked last night in front of their home fans. Campillo will tame the bats of the D-backs and the Braves will get back to their winning ways at home.

Matt Fargo
Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates
Prediction: Chicago Cubs
This is a very fair price for the Cubs who ended a two-game skid against the Pirates last night. This was Chicagos 12th win in the last 13 meetings against Pittsburgh including nine of 10 this season. The Cubs are a relatively small favorite which is big since they are 23-9 in their last 32 games as a favorite while the Pirates are just 20-41 in their last 61 as an underdog. Jason Marquis is coming off his third quality start of the season and two of those happened to come against the Pirates already. Seven of his last nine outings against Pittsburgh have been quality efforts and that offense has scored three runs or fewer in four of its last five games. The Pirates counter with Phil Dumatrait who is coming off a horrible performance against the Cubs. He allowed four runs on four hits and seven walks to push his ERA to 7.47 in six career outings against the Cubs including two starts. Chicago is hitting .300 over its last 10 games where it is averaging 5.6 rpg. Pittsburghs starting pitchers have a putrid 6.46 ERA over their last 10 games. Play Chicago Cubs 1.5 Units

Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons
The Boston Celtics are 0-6 both straight-up and against the spread on the road in the playoffs, while the Detroit Pistons are 5-0 straight-up and 4-1 against the spread at home. Take the Pistons at the Palace! Besides, Boston road struggles in the playoffs, they are just 1-6 ATS in their last six games overall.

Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays have won 13 of their last 14 games at home and have beaten the Orioles four of the last five meetings in Tampa Bay
The Orioles will send Steve Trachsel (2-4, 6.75 ERA) to the hill. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 5.93 ERA in five career starts against Tampa Bay. Baltimore has dropped five of Trachsel's last 6 starts.
The Rays' counter with Edwin Jackson (2-3, 3.29 ERA) is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two relief appearances, including one start and against Baltimore. Tampa Bay is 1-4 in Jacksons last 5 starts at home.
Go with the Rays at Tropicana Field against the struggling Orioles. Tampa Bay’s Edwin Jackson record is misleading. The right-hander has pitched sound, a 0.44 ERA in his last three starts.
