Oakland/Minnesota Over 8 1/2 +1.04 (3 Unit Play)
The A's took Game 1 of this series and will now hand the ball to Sean Gallagher as he is making his seventh start of the year for the A's since coming over from the Cubs. Gallagher has struggled on the road posting a 6.75 ERA in 8 innings of work with a 2.38 WHIP. Of course the sample size is small but he is having some shoulder issues and the Twins had really been hitting the ball until last night. The Twins will counter with Kevin Slowey who on the year has a 3.94 ERA and he has pitched well lately but has lasted only six innings in the two previous starts. The home plate umpire for today's game is Jerry Layne who is 13-10 to the Under this year but for some reason these teams score runs with Layne as Oakland is 8-1-1 to the Over in the past ten games with Layne while the Twins are 6-3-1 to the Over in the same period.
Detroit/Texas Over 11 -1.03 (3 Unit Play)
I lost on this matchup last night by taking it Under but the numbers for tonight's game support a play on the Over. The Tigers will give the ball to Armando Galarraga and he has just been unbelievable all season for the Tigers staff as he usually pitches deep into games but this will be his first career appearance against the team that dropped him and he may be a little to pumped up for this start. The Rangers will give the ball to Vicente Padilla who was scratched from his last start on Sunday with a neck issue and overall on the year has a 4.85 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. The Rangers will be without the service of Ian Kinsler for possibly the rest of the year and I admit that the Rangers bats have been quiet lately but the umpire stats were too much to overlook here. HP umpire Randy Marsh is 7-5 to the Under this year but check out his stats with these two teams-Detroit is 10-0 to the Over the past 10 games and Texas is 8-1-1 to the Over in the same time period with Marsh and Padilla is 2-1 to the Over with Marsh behind the dish. Over is the play for me here.
Colorado/LA Dodgers Over 7 1/2 -1.02 (3 Unit Play)
A key series out west as the Rockies visit the Dodgers. Ubaldo Jimenez gets the start for the Rockies and he has been pitching better on the road recently but still sports a 4.72 ERA on the road and when taking on the Dodgers he is 3-0 with a 5.34 ERA in six appearances. Jimenez has started five games against LA and all five have went Over the total. The Dodgers will hand the ball to Hiroki Kuroda who has also pitched well recently but was going through a rough patch before that and in his career against Colorado he is 0-1 in two starts with a 7.50 ERA. Two teams that have had their offenses going lately should be enough to get this game Over the total.
