Free Baseball Picks: August 27
Gambling911.com has your free Baseball picks for Tuesday August 27.
Milwaukee/Pittsburgh UNDER 7 – Would be great if we could get the 7.5 or 8 but there is good reason to like the UNDER here.
Kyle Lohse, starting for Milwaukee, is 9-2 when starting against Pittsburgh with an ERA of 3.44 and a WHIP of 1.192.
Jeff Locke for Pittsburgh has gone winless in his last six outings and failed to pitch more than four innings in three of them. He has allowed 11 runs in 6 2/3 innings over his last two starts. Locke is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three career starts against the Brewers. He beat them back in May in six innings of three-hit shutout. Locke will come into this game especially desperate, we would believe. His record on the season is 9-4.
7 of the last 10 meetings between these two teams have either gone UNDER the current total of 7 or pushed.
The last face-off between these two starters on May 14 ended with 7 runs scored. We also have a solid closer for Milwaukee.
New York Yankees -117 – With the Yankees 12-2 vs. Toronto over the last 13 games, this is one we can’t resist, especially since Yankees starter Andy Petite has pitched so well against the Blue Jays over his career. He limited them to a run on four hits over six effective innings just last week and his last start.
J.A. Happ started in that game as well. It ended in New York’s favor with a final score of 5-3.
Toronto is 2-7 in their last 9 overall while the Yankees are 11-5 in their last 16 overall.
The Yankees are 5-1 in Pettitte's last 6 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150 and 11-3 in Pettitte's last 14 starts as a road favorite of -110 to -150.
The Blue Jays are 1-5 in Happ's last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
