Pick: Royals vs. Yankees Under 9.5 Runs (Wunderdog)
The Yankees’ C.C. Sabathia has found the groove after a tough start, and will be a handful for the Royals in this one. The Royals are not at their best vs. left-hand pitching where they plate less than 4 runs per game. The Yankees also score a half run less per game vs. lefthanders and Bruce Hen has been pitching well for the Royals. The Royals in their last 23 posted at +201 or more, have only managed to go over the total five times. The Yankees’ trouble vs. lefthanders has left them with a 20-9-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 30 at the Stadium vs. a southpaw. I’ll go UNDER in this one.

Pick: New York Mets +166 (Info Plays)
System Play. We’ll Play On - Road underdogs with a money line of +150 or more (NY METS) - with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.450 to 1.550 on the season-NL, good baserunning team - averaging 0.85 or more SB’s/game on the season. This is a 34-22 ML System hitting 60.7% since 1997. Hiroki Kuroda is 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Dodgers are way too big of favorites tonight, and the value is clearly with the Mets in this one. Bet New York on the road.

Pick: San Francisco Giants -120 (Tom Freese)
San Francisco starter Matt Cain is off a strong start in his last outing allowing just 2 runs in 7 innings of work. The Giants are 11-3 their last 14 games. San Francisco 9-4 in game one of a series and they are 8-2 their last 10 road games. The Giants are 8-1 vs. a starter with a WHIP of over 1.30. Arizona starter Rodrigo Lopez has lost 2 of his last 3 starts. The Diamondbacks are 14-32 their last 46 games as home underdogs and they are 3-7 in the last 10 starts made by Lopez. The Snakes are 17-40 their last 57 games vs. NL West teams. PLAY ON SAN FRANCISCO - Cain vs. Lopez)

Pick: Boston Red Sox -156 (Dave Price)
After back-to-back losses, look for Boston to get back in the win column tonight. The Red Sox will be in good hands with Lackey, who isn’t new to pitching in Seattle. In fact, he’s won his last 5 starts there. Meanwhile, the Mariners are 3-14 in Rowland-Smith’s last 17 starts and 0-5 in his last 5 starts vs. the American League East. The Mariners are also just 2-9 in their last 11 home games and they have lost 5 straight series openers. Take the Red Sox.

Pick: St. Louis Cardinals -152 (Jeff Alexander)
These two teams are headed in opposite directions, and I’m going to side with the one on the upswing, especially since that team has Adam Wainwright on the bump. Wainwright is a perfect 10-0 with a 1.31 ERA at home this season. Plus, he enters this contest very dialed in, having gone 3-0 with an ERA of only 0.39 his last 3 starts. Meanwhile, Hamels is just 3-5 with an ERA of 4.69 on the road this season. I’ll take the Red Birds with Wainwright going this afternoon.

Pick: New York Yankees -1.5 -149 (Jimmy Boyd)
I’ll take the Yankees on the run line at home tonight with Sabathia on the hill. The Yanks have won his last 9 starts, and 7 of those have come by 2 or more runs. Plus, Sabathia is 14-0 on the money line vs. teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits per game in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons, and the Yankees are winning in this situation by an average score of 7.9 to 2.1. In addition, the Royals are only 5-25 in their last 30 meetings with the Yankees in New York. The Yankees have the edge on the hill and at the plate tonight. Take New York on the run line.
