Saturday: 4-2, +1.8 units. Santana is truly messed up. It'll be interesting to see if he starts his next game.
These 3 top plays are all heavy favorites. I can see why, but I don't like to play this many high juice games all on one day. After looking into them, I can't find a reason to drop any one of them. But first…
Baltimore: ML(+129). One unit. Familiarity with a pitcher is one of the best indicators of whether a batter is able to hit a certain pitcher. The Orioles know Josh Tomlin enough to hit .337 career wise against him in about 90 ABs. Also, the O's seem to be breaking out of their slump. The Indians are struggling in the past week and though Britton got beat fairly well by the Twins last game, he has good stuff, pitched well at AAA, and second games can be the difference makers. The Indians also hit lefties at a .223 pace.
