We lost our early game, but we look to rebound in the night cap with these two value plays including our dog of the day play guaranteed or 1 day is FREE!


Masterson has been to good this year to not back him playing a White Sox team that has struggled vs. righties. Masterson is 5-4 with a 2.59 ERA on the road and a 2.41 ERA during night starts. His last 4 games at Chicago have resulted in a 1.59 ERA. The Indians are 38-14 in their last 52 as a favorite while the White Sox are 4-11 in their last 15 home games vs. a RH starter. They have a .247 average and .661 ops vs. Masterson over 178 AB. Phillip Humber is the real reason I got Cleveland here. I said he got lucky in who he was facing at home which led to his great first half. He's certainly come down to earth over his last 5 starts he's allowed 22 ER over just 29.1 IP while giving up a whopping 40 hits and 7 walks. That's a 6.75 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP which is just crazy to even think about here. Yes he had to face the Tigers, Red Sox and Yankees over those 5 starts and I said the reason he's been lucky was he was averaging an easy opponent at home, but vs. the Twins and Orioles who are ranked 28th and 13th vs. RHP he gave up 11 hits a piece 22 total over 9.2 innings while surrendering 10 ER. I think Humber is past what he can throw on a season but the Sox have no choice but to throw him out there. These two teams are pretty much even on everything else but the pitching match up heavily favors the Indians and we are not seeing it that way in the line.


Love the Braves as the Giants haven't been hitting lefties all year. Minor has really been under rated as his BABPIP is nearing .400 which is just flat out bad luck. I see good value despite the Braves going up against Lincecum as he is so past due for a poor start and he's had control issues in his last few starts giving up 10 walks over his last three vs. the Braves and his last two in Atlanta 11.1 IP giving up 13 hits and 7 ER on 5 walks. Giants bullpen is shaky right now especially with Wilson gone which gives the Braves a huge advantage. Braves just .209 vS. LHP last 10 games with 1.53 runs per 9. Braves .273 5.28 runs per9 vs. RHP over that period and are 30-14 in their last 44 vs. RH starters. I like the Braves to continue that here today.
