MLB Betting Lines – Free Picks: Reds 9-1 vs. Marlins, Leake 3-0 With 1.93 ERA

Good night last night with a 2-0 showing to bring our August record to 6-4.  Let’s see what’s on tap tonight with our free picks immediately following today’s hot pitcher and team trends.

Pitchers

Pittsburgh’s Vance Worley is 2-0 when starting against San Diego with an ERA of 2.08 and a WHIP of 1.154.

The Reds Mike Leake is 3-0 when starting against Miami with an ERA of 1.93 and a WHIP of 1.393 while the Marlins Nathan Eovaldi has an ERA of 1.29 and a WHIP of 0.571.  The UNDER is 3-1 in the series when either one of these two starting pitchers take to the mound.

Toronto's RA Dickey is 6-1 when starting against Detroit with an ERA of 4.09 and a WHIP of 1.473.  His team is 8-1 in these starts.

Teams

Toronto is 3-0 this season against Detroit.

Free Picks

Really no other choice but to go with Toronto +124 at home vs. Detroit.  Blue Jays RH R.A. Dickey (9-11, 4.03) is 6-1 when starting against Detroit with an ERA of 4.09 as posted above and the Blue Jays swept Detroit at home back in June.   Dickey has only permitted 3 earned runs or fewer over his last 11 starts.

Also can’t resist Cincinnati -130

Reds RH Mike Leake (9-9, 3.46) owns a 3-0 record with a 1.93 ERA in three career starts against the Marlins.  He has only allowed a single run over his last two starts.

Marlins RH Nathan Eovaldi (5-6, 4.22 ERA) pitched well against the Reds at home the other night but an UNDER here simply is not a bet we can make with Eovaldi getting knocked around for 18 runs in 16 1/3 innings over his previous three outings.

The Reds are 9-1 vs. the Marlins in their last 10 meetings.
