CHICAGO WHITE SOX VS NEW YORK YANKEES

Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees will meet in the third game of their series tonight while series are tied 1-1. Thanks to Javier Vazquez, White Sox managed to score some early runs last night and despite Yanks' offensive explosion in 6th inning, they managed to beat Yanks 7-6.

Today, White Sox will give the ball to Mark Buehrle while Yanks will have Hughes on the mound.

Mark Buehrle, 1.29 WHIP and 4.68 ERA so far this season. Mark Buehrle was not hot in his last 3 outings, going 1.58 WHIP and 6.62 ERA. White Sox lost Buehrle's last 3 outings. Not to mention, Mark Buehrle is a southpaw and Yanks are hitting .324 versus lefties when playing at home.

New York Yankees will counter Chicago White Sox Ace with Philip Hughes. Hughes' performance is really promising so far this season. It looks like he will have a major role in Yanks' pitching rotation. Philip Hughes has impressive numbers with 0.94 WHIP and 2.00 ERA in his last 3 starts. Yanks are 2-1 in Hughes' last 3 starts.

White Sox are 2-7 in Buehrle's last 9 road starts.

I know odds for visitors are tempting but these stats may change your mind. Yanks own Buehrle. White Sox are 0-6 in Buehrles last 6 starts vs. Yankees! In addition, Chicago White Sox are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings and 1-6 in the last 7 meetings in New York.

Yankees are 8-2 in Hughes' last 10 home starts. On the other side, Chicago White Sox are 1-7 in Buehrles last 8 starts as an underdog. Not to mention, White Sox are 3-12 in Buehrles last 15 road starts vs. a team with a winning record as well..

Can't trust Buehrle & White Sox in this spot. I'm expecting Yanks to win this one.
You can consider -1½ Runline bet in order to reduce to juice.

WASHINGTON NATS VS FLORIDA MARLINS

Another good chalk for sunday! Marlins' offense is back after scoring 7 runs last night versus Nats. Today, Washington Nats will have J. Lannan on the mound while Florida Marlins will give the ball to J. Johnson.

John Lannan is 1-1 (3-2 Team Win/Lost) so far this season with 1.84 WHIP and 5.53 ERA. Lannan was mediocre in his last 3 starts with 1.68 WHIP and 4.26 ERA.

Josh Johnson is 2-0 (2-1 Team Win/Lost) so far this season with 1.19 WHIP and 3.19 ERA. Johnson was hot in his last 3 starts with 0.81 WHIP and 1.71 ERA. Impressive, isn't it?

Marlins are -182 home chalk for a reason..

Johnson owns Nats..

Marlins are 8-2 in Johnsons last 10 starts vs. Nationals and 4-1 in Johnsons last 5 home starts vs. Nationals!

Let's go deep with numbers..

The Florida Marlins are ranked 11 in hitting, with a batting average of .266. The Marlins are averaging 4.8 runs per game this season with an OPS of .727. On the other side, The Washington Nationals are ranked 18 in hitting, with a batting average of .252. The Nationals are averaging 4.2 runs per game this season with an OPS of .736.

I'm expecting Marlins to beat Nats by 3-4 runs in this contest. Not to mention, Nationals are 22-45 in the last 67 meetings in Florida and 10-29 in the last 39 meetings.

Lannan is not a reliable pitcher specially on the road. Nationals are 8-21 in Lannans last 29 road starts.

I'm expecting Marlins to win this one..

CINCINNATTI REDS VS ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

Cardinals are -235 for a reason. Carpenter owns Reds and St. Louis owns Harang..

Cardinals are 6-0 in Carpenter's last 6 starts vs. Reds and 5-2 in Carpenter's last 7 home starts vs. Reds.

Reds are 15-36 in the last 51 meetings in St. Louis and 0-4 in Harang's last 4 road starts vs. Cardinals!

Aaron Harang's latest form is not impressive with 2.11 WHIP and 9.19 ERA. Reds are 1-2 in his last 3 outings.

On the other side, Chris Carpenter was very hot in last 3 starts with 1.05 WHIP and 2.25 ERA! Cardinals are 3-0 in his last 3 outings. Carpenter is 3-0 (Team Win/Lost is 4-1) so far this season with 1.13 WHIP and 3.48 ERA.

I'm expecting Cardinals to win this one. You can pick -1½ RL if you like, in order to reduce the juice.

Cards & Marlins 2-Game Parlay pays +115 for today, GL!
