Here is a play we have had our eyes on since last week. The St. Louis Cardinals at -170. We know this is a steep price but, to be honest, anything under -200 still has value here.
Yovani Gallardo of the Milwaukee Brewers has just a single win, five quality starts, a 6.72 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP in 14 career starts against St. Louis. His team is just 3-12 in these starts and we do suspect he’ll be taken out of the game pretty early.
This is a Brewers team that is just 2-7 going up against a Cardinals team that has won their last three games and is 6-4 on the season thus far.
Adam Wainwright of the Cards is 8-6 vs. Milwaukee in his 14 starts. He has an ERA of 2.15.
The Brewers are just 4-11 against St. Louis in their last 15 meetings. Putting Gallardo on the mound is not the best spot to be in for reversing this trend.
Milwaukee is 2-11 against the money line in road games when playing on Saturday over the last 2 seasons.
The Cardinals are 8-2 in Wainwright’s last 10 home starts.
We would be remiss in pointing out that Gallardo has pitched relatively well, going 5-0 in his last 5 road starts as an example but his poor showing against St. Louis is staggering.
Gambling911.com might not recommend a play on St. Louis at the -170 price if not for the fact that Milwaukee is looking terrible overall, so we do want to keep this all in perspective.
How can you not like the Oakland A’s at +107 playing at home, having won 9 straight games?
Yeah, we know, Detroit’s Justin Verlander is10-5 when starting against Oakland with an ERA of 2.33 and a WHIP of 1.089. He is actually 9-2 in his last 11 starts against Oakland.
The Tigers are 7-2 in Verlander's last 9 starts vs. American League West but they are also 9-4 in Verlander's last 13 Saturday starts and 19-9 in Verlander's last 28 starts with 5 days of rest. Still good numbers, however, Detroit is 1-6 in Verlander's last 7 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150. They are 1-4 in his last 5 road starts vs. a team with a winning record.
The Athletics are 12-3 in their last 15 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150 but are just 2-12 in Anderson's last 14 starts as an underdog of +110 to +150 and 1-5 as an underdog overall. Those are scary numbers to be certain but Anderson is also 3-2 against Oakland.
We are going to trust that the Athletics can bounce back should Anderson get them into a hole. This is an A’s team that is 12-3 in their last 15 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150.
Gotta love Oakland in this position.
