Free MLB Prediction: Angels vs. Mariners Over 8 Runs
Take the Seattle Mariners Over 7.5, This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and the Felix Hernandez (13-5, 2.77 ERA) struggled in his only home start against the Angels this season allowing 11 hits and 6 earned runs over just 5.7 innings. Scott Kazmir (8-7, 5.92 ERA) has struggled overall this season and I do not see him pitching much better for the Angels than he did for the Rays. Kazmir was lit up in his only road start against the Mariners this season allowing 9 hits and 7 earned runs over just 4.3 innings. The O/U is 4-0 for the Angels in their last 4 games when the posted total is 7.0 to 8.5 and the O/U is 10-4 for the Mariners in Hernandez’s last 14 home starts as a favorite. The O/U is also a perfect 6-0 in Hernandez’s last 6 home starts against the Angels. Take this game to go over the posted total as my MLB Free Play for Wednesday. Courtesy of Vernon Croy

Free MLB Prediction: St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 -119
I’ll back the Cards at home on the run line tonight as I don’t see the Brew Crew getting much of anything against Carpenter. The right-hander is 9-0 with a 2.00 ERA in 11 outings since July 5 and 7-1 with a 1.86 ERA in nine home starts this season. On the other side of things, I expect the Cards to have their way with Bush. He is 2-4 with a 6.06 ERA in six starts against the Red Birds in his career and the Brewers are just 1-6 in his last 7 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Cardinals are 24-3 in Carpenter’s last 27 starts with 5 days of rest so I expect him to be on top of his game tonight and for the Cards to win this one by at least 2 runs. Courtes of Jimmy Boyd
