Looking over yesterday’s card my leans were 4-1. So I know we are right back on track after the little break. Todays card is a tricky one. We got a couple teams playing their first game in 5 days. So again we will probably stay with small plays.

Take for 2-
Florida +105 -Strasburg vs. Nolasco. When you see that match-up everyone looks right to one name. “Strasburg”. But Nolasco is pitching quite good as of late. In fact if you look at the last 3 starts for both guys. You find Nolasco has had the better ERA and WHIP. He goes deeper into the game while having more K’s and less walks. Florida isn’t a great home team, but the Nats are a terrible road team. Just 14-29 on the road. And batters are hitting just .239 with an OBP just over .300. Lets take the Fish and give Strasburg his 3rd Loss.

Arizona – Even- I was liking this game a lot last night. But I went to bed thinking its crazy to back the D’backs with that bullpen. But I realized this morning its the right call. Haren throw’s on average 115 pitches a game. He’s going to get deep into the game and take a little of the pressure off that pen. Also the guy is 5-1 against the Padres. Has an era of 3.04 and a whip of 1.138. Garland on the other hand is just 2-2 with a 6.47 era and a whip of 1.594 against the D-backs. In his last 7 outings he has given up 3 or more runs 6 times. So I feel confident in Backing Dan Haren and his Arizona D’backs.

Take for 1-
Detroit -140
Mets +112

other leans-
Pittsburgh +110
Angels -132
Col/Cin under 8.5
Ari/SD over 7
