Result: -0.49 units
Los Angeles Dodgers (142) over Colorado Rockies (1.0 Units) - With the Dodgers putting up 16 runs yesterday, we'll back them as an underdog in a divisional rivalry game any day of the week. Take this game action regardless of pitcher.
----------------------------
San Diego Padres (147) over Arizona Diamondbacks (1.0 Units) - The Padres just keep on racking up the wins and we'll continue to back them so long as they are a dog in a divisional rivalry game. Take this game action regardless of pitcher.
----------------------------
Milwaukee Brewers (106) over St. Louis Cardinals (1.0 Units) -
The Brewers are 13-7 at home so it is a good value play to get them as a divisional rivalry dog. Their offense has been stammering lately as they are averaging just 2.6 runs a game L5 but the Cardinals are not doing much better offensively either. This game could very well be a pick'em game but we'll take the underdog with the home field advantage.
Take this game action on Suppan pitching for the Brewers.
----------------------------
Cincinnati Reds (112) over Houston Astros (1.0 Units) - The Reds are averaging 5.2 runs a game L5 while the Astros are averaging 2 fewer runs a game during the same span. Not only that, these Astros have lost 5 straight games. With that in point, we doubt that they'd be able to pull things around so easily, at least not enough certainty to peg them as the favorite today. And Oswalt has been very average this season. The Reds should be favorite. Take this game action regardless of pitcher.
----------------------------
Detroit Tigers (145) over Kansas City Royals (1.0 Units) -
The Royals are 7-2 when Greinke starts. But that's where the Royals' perceived advantage here ends. They are averaging just 1.4 runs per game L5. They were blown out in game 1 of this series against the Tigers and although we don't expect the same result, the Royals are just absurdly overvalued today. Take the Tigers action regardless of pitcher.
