YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Cincinnati Reds. Southpaw Alex Wood will get the ball for Gabe Kapler's Giants, and Wood's teams have won 4 of his 5 career starts vs. the Reds, and they've also won 12 of his last 17 road starts. Vladimir Gutierrez will be making the start for Cincy, and he's been downright awful this season. The Reds have lost six of his seven starts, which isn't surprising given that his ERA in those starts was 8.70. His WHIP for the season is also atrocious, at 1.90. We'll take the Giants this afternoon, as Cincy is 1-13 vs. the NL West division this season (and 12-35 (minus 23.3 net games)) its last 47 vs. the NL West. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the New York Yankees. Last night, the Yankees shut out Tampa, 2-0, with the Rays mustering just 2 hits. But the Rays are 7-3 after not scoring a run, and are 22-8 (+15.4 net games on the moneyline) after getting less than 5 hits. New York will hand the ball to RH Gerrit Cole, who has a losing record in 15 starts vs. Tampa. Over the last 2 seasons, he's made 9 of those 15 starts, and his team has lost six of those nine games. His ERA vs. Tampa Bay over this span is 4.73 (27 runs in 51 1/3 innings). The Rays have been dominant vs. right-handed starters (120-68, +35.9 net games), and vs. division rivals (92-49, +35.5 net games). They've also excelled in day games (67-36, +22.2 net games), while the Yankees have underperformed in the daytime (44-49, minus 31.3 net games). Take the home underdog Rays. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the St. Louis Cardinals. This is RHP Adrian Houser's sixth season in the Majors and most people have still not heard of the 29-year-old from Oklahoma. That's likely just fine with Houser who is in the back end of one of the best starting rotations in baseball these days. With Freddy Peralta now out with a lat strain, Milwaukee's big three of Burnes, Woodruff, and Peralta is down to two. So, Houser, Eric Lauer, and Aaron Ashby are expected to pick up the slack. They all seem to be doing their part so far, with Houser leading the way as the one with the most Milwaukee experience of the three. In eight starts covering 42 1/3 innings, Houser is 3-4 with a 2.98 ERA and 1.28 WHIP heading into this afternoon. In 12 career games vs. the Cards (nine starts), Houser is 4-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 52 innings. But he's really shined lately. He's made 5 starts vs. St. Louis over the past 2 seasons, and has given up just 2 runs in 30 2/3 innings (0.58 ERA; 1.04 WHIP). And in 33 career day games (19 starts) Houser has a 3.35 ERA. The Redbirds will go with rookie Matthew Liberatore. He had his 1st career start last week against the Pirates, and was hit fairly hard. In 4 2/3 innings, he faced 22 batters, and gave up 4 runs, 7 hits and 2 walks (7.71 ERA; 1.92 WHIP). Even worse: of the 7 hits, 5 went for extra bases (4 doubles, 1 home run). The Brewers have won 34 of 49 division road games. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
