Baseball rollercoaster for Thu

Plenty of afternoon games so I thought I would chime in early. I've changed my capping to focus more on records rather than run averages. Since I've done this here is my record-

8/23 7-0 +5.19

8/24 3-5 -1.41

8/25 3-0 +2.56

8/26 4-5 -1.42

8/27 8-3 +4.39

Total 25-13 +9.31


Now for the picks-

Mon -164
Telemaco/Vazquez
Vazquez is 11-4 at home and Mon is better at home. Phi is 1-8 on this long road trip.

SF +103
Hermanson/Jennings
Hermanson has a 2.74 ERA in his last 3 games. Col is not scoring much.

Atl -173
Leiter/Hampton
Hampton is 9-1 in his last 10 games. It's tough to go against Hampton and Atl at home.

NY Mets/Atl under 9.0 -114
Both Leiter and Hampton pitching well.

LA +128

Even though the Dodgers have not scored much lately I'm going with Alvarez here. Redding has lost his last 4 games.

biggames-we are on the same page again, hopefully that is good once again.

the only one i'm against is oak-just because halma has gone 13 inn w/17 H (3hr) in L3, but oak is hot right now so who knows

good luck
