2* Indians ML-135
I really like the pitching matchup in this one and I think it favors the Indians. While Justin Masterson didn’t have his best outing his last time out, he’s been very dominant against the Reds winning his last 2 against them and only allowing 2 runs in 17 innings. The Indians are one loss away from tying their worst losing streak on the season, and I believe they will come out gunning for Cincinnati. I like the Indians tonight with Masterson on the hill.
MLB – (905) BOSTON at (906) PHILADELPHIA 7:05 ET NESN, CSN
Despite reports to the contrary, John Lackey (3-4, 2.72 ERA) is not finished yet. The former Angel who has not produced hardly at all for Boston, but has been ultra sharp in his last two outings (13 innings, no earned runs, three hits allowed and 13 K’s) and claims this is the best he felt in years and is getting stronger. This is not positive news for Philadelphia, who sends Kyle Kendrick (4-3, 3.29) to the mound. After a stellar start, Kendrick has an ERA of 5.50 in his past three outings. Kendrick has fared poorly against the Red Sox, sporting a 0-3 record and 10.80 ERA in four career appearances. This interleague contest opened as a Pick (-105) and Boston is now the listed favorite at -125. The BoSox are 21-8 on the road with a money line of -100 to -125 the last two seasons. S-W Take – Boston wins
MLB – (907) N.Y. METS at (908) N.Y. YANKEES 7:05 ET SNY, YES
Mets fans must feel it’s like Christmas, beating the Yankees twice this week in come from behind fashion. As it turns out, Yankee fans might have a similar feeling tonight and are letting their feelings known. The Mets are on a three-game win streak for the first time in 2013, while the Bronx Bombers have lost a trio on consecutive days for the initial time this year. The Metropolitans are using Jeremy Hefner (0-5, 4.76) on the road and they have yet to emerge victorious in his previous nine starts this season. The Yankees were -160 on the overnight line and jumped to -180 or higher, depending on the venue. The Yanks are 19-3 at home after scoring one run or less since 2011. S-W Take – Yankees win
MLB – (927) SEATTLE at (928) SAN DIEGO 10:10 ET ROOT, FSSD
After splitting a pair in Coffeeville, the scene changes to SoCal for this interleague conflict. San Diego was a -140 betting choice and was pounded all the way to -155 or higher, but wild card elements do exist. The Mariners Joe Saunders (3-5, 6.09) is the expected starter, which suggests, advantage Padres, as the M’s lefty is 0-4 with a massive 11.25 ERA in five road starts. However, if one believes in team comparisons, Saunders is 5-3 with a quality 2.67 ERA against San Diego, surrendering just one earned run in his past four starts against the Friars, all lasting at least seven innings. The Pads have won seven of the past 10 in the series and Seattle is 14-32 after a loss of four or more runs, like they suffered to San Diego last night 6-1. S-W Take – San Diego wins
MLB – (929) OAKLAND at (930) SAN FRANCISCO 10:15 ET CSCA, KNTV
After winning both contests at home, Oakland has a better record than San Francisco (.556 vs. .538). The A’s will try and keep the pressure on the defending World Series champs, seeking their 10th victory in 11 tries on the other side of the bay. This will be a battle of up and down pitchers, with Tom Milone (4-5, 3.80) for Oakland and Tim Lincecum (3-4, 4.75) for the Giants. San Fran was a -133 favorite and lowered to -122 or less. Lincecum continues to have command issues and is scored upon frequently in the first inning in his losses the past two years. Tiny Tim and teammates are 2-9 in May since last year. Oakland is jealous of San Francisco recent success, yet does not mind the underdog role with a 13-7 mark at +100 or higher with Milone throwing. S-W Take – Lean with San Francisco
