Milwaukee(+104) at Cincinnati(-114)

I really cant see why the Brewers are underdogs here, they have been on a tear lately winning 7 0f their last 10 games. The only concern i have is that starting pitcher Manny Parra has not fared well against the reds in the past, but then again he probably didn't get the kind of run support and quality play that the brew crew have been showing the last few weeks. Cincinnati sends their starter Bronson Arroyo to the mound, but unlike Parra the Reds right hander has had good success against the Brewers in the past. The only problem with banking on a pitchers success is that if the rest of the team is not playing well, then it doesn't matter how well Arroyo pitches if his supporting cast is slumping. For many years i have watched quality pitchers give forth their best efforts only to lose the game because the rest of the team is playing bad. With as hot as the Brewers have been I just don't see them slowing down tonight, especially in a ballpark that has been known to be hitter friendly(the great American small park in Cincinnati lol!!)

Betting on: Milwaukee Moneyline(+104)(3.00 units)


Final Score:
Milwaukee 15 (win)(+3.12 units)
Cincinnati 3

Texas(+108) at Oakland(-116)

The Oakland Athletics have been a mess so far this year, they have failed to drive in the runs that this offense was expected to produce in the beginning of the season when they brought in all the offensive players they felt they needed to compete. Tonight they face the red hot Texas Rangers who come into the Coliseum tonight winners of 7 of their last 10 and have a team batting average of .294 in their last 10 contest. Texas has always given the Athletics problems in the past, but now that the Rangers have found their mojo and playing better than they have in years I just don't see how the A's can compete. The A's are on pace to lose close to 90 games this year if they don't snap out of it soon, but with a depleted pitching staff and rugged offensive numbers its likely this once proud organization will be the laughing stock in an already weak American league west division. Look for Texas to come out firing with their bats, and continue to add to their recent success against their old division rivals.

Betting on: Texas Moneyline(+108)(3.00 units)


Final Score:
Texas 3 (win)(+3.16 units)
Oakland 2
