OK...got blistered last night with a 1-3-1 record for -2.13 units YTD with the big underdog plays all eating the dirt. Not to be fazed, here goes today's card:
Kansas City +210 (Wilson) v. CWS (Colon)
Almost a gut play here. There is no way to justify the -230 or -240 granted to CWS. KC still has the better record and has been hitting the ball pretty well, and CWS's unreal winning streak has been showing signs of rust, as they went 2-3 in the last 5 games. Wilson has a very good away record this year at 1.96 ERA and 1.13 WHIP, and although his career ERA against CWS is 4.38 with a 1.30 WHIP, Colon has an even worse career ERA against KC at 5.18 with a 1.33 WHIP. At home this year, Colon also has a much worse 4.60 ERA. I'm sucking it up and going with KC at +200 or better.
Cincinnati (Acevedo) +153 v. Los Angeles (Perez)
After yesterday's loss, I'm once again going with Cincinnati, this time with a much better pitcher in Acevedo who has a 1.29 career ERA against LA with 1.29 WHIP, and this year's away record of 3.00 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. Perez's career ERA against Cincinnati is 1.74 with a 0.77 WHIP, while his home record this year is 3.61 ERA with 1.01 WHIP. This figures to be a pitcher's duel, and with the lackluster way in which both teams are hitting the ball, I'd gladly take the underdog at +145 or better.
Might add more later...all plays are listed pitchers only and all risking the same amount. Good luck.
