MLB weekend betting cheat sheet
Amazing Arrieta
Jake Arrieta has had an amazing 2014 for the Chicago Cubs and will be looking to build on his 5-1 record when he takes the ball Friday against the Atlanta Braves (-107, 7). The Under is 6-2-2 in Arrieta’s last ten starts this season as the Cubs ace has kept a low ERA that is currently at 1.78 for 2014.
Bryce’s Blues
Nationals slugger Bryce Harper has had more than his share of struggles as of late, going 1-for-20 in his last six appearances for Washington. The Nationals are 3-3 over that span while the total has been split evenly as well over that six game span.
Strasburg Struggles
Washington’s other young star, Stephen Strasburg has also been struggling this summer for the Nationals. Strasburg is 1-2 with two No Decisions in his last five starts with the Over going 3-1-1 over that span as high scoring affairs seem to have followed Strasburg this season.
Pitching Notes
* Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchinson has been compiling a high number of Unders in his recent starts. Five of his last six starts have went under the number, including his last three mound appearances. Hutchinson takes the mound Saturday in a pitchers due with David Price, another pitcher who has been trending towards the Under of late. Six of Price’s last eight appearances have been Unders.
* The Mets Saturday starter Daisuke Matsuzaka has been brewing a bit of a comeback season on the mound that has been overshadowed by a lack of run support. Unders are 5-1 in his last six starts while the Mets are 1-5 during those games.
* Detroit Tigers Sunday starting pitcher Justin Verlander has turned around a 1-5 streak on the mound with two wins following two No Decisions, but his extremely high ERA has continued to produces a nice trend of Overs. 9-1 in Verlander’s last ten starts to be exact as the former best pitcher in the game continues his struggles.
Hitting Notes
* Colorado still leads the MLB in batting at home, hitting .313 at Coors Field. They will see a boost to that talented lineup when Carlos Gonzalez returns to the lineup after being out since early June when they host the Twins in interleague play.
* San Francisco’s Hunter Pence is 11-for-24 over his last six games and has raised his batting average to above .300 in the process, batting .303 for the season.
* Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong is red hot as of late for St. Louis. Wong has went 6-for-14 with three homers, five runs scored and as many RBIs in his last five games.
Totals Streak
Justin Verlander (14-4 O/U): As mentioned before, Justin Verlander’s streak of Overs is as good as it gets when it comes to consistent trends during the 2014 MLB season heading into the All-Star break. Verlander’s 14-4 Overs record is even more impressive of late as just one of his last ten starts has went Under.
Prop of the Day
Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs has yet to allow more than two earned runs in his last seven starts, allowing no earned runs in three of those appearances. The Atlanta Braves team total is 3.5 on Friday with the Under set at -120.
Injury Notes
* New York Yankees pitcher Mashiro Tanaka will be on the 15 day DL with a partially torn UCL and is set to rehab even longer as there is now a six week timetable on his return. Even more concerning is the potential of Tommy John surgery for the promising Japanese pitcher who was 12-4 in his first season in the majors.
* Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran is also out of the lineup at the moment with a broken nose and a concussion following an injury during batting practice. While on the seven day DL the Yankees have went 3-1, so perhaps his absence is a non factor for now.
* Oakland A’s outfielder Coco Crisp is questionable on Friday after sitting out on Thursday’s game with an ankle injury. Oakland is currently 8-6-2 on the season when Crisp is out of the Athletics lineup.

Primetime Insiders
3* Plays
Boston -133 **Both teams are surging on multiple game winning streaks. Even though Lackey owns an ERA south of 4 our system still grades him as underrated going up against the Astros who have hit the ball well lately. Feldmann on the other hand is overrated per our system so we will take Lackey tonight who should show is ERA should be closer to 3 than 4.
Pittsburgh +103 **We have backed Locke in the past and will do the same tonight in Cincy. Latos takes the mound for Cincy which might be a tough spot but the Pirates but the Reds are so banged up our system thinks that Vegas has the wrong favorite in this matchup. Both pitchers grade out the same but we will back the team with better hitting that is healthy.
Atlanta and Chicago Under 7 **This play almost graded higher but we settled on the 3* play. This matchup is between two pitchers who are having excellent years. Wood owns an ERA just north of 3 while Arrieta has been excellent posting an ERA just south of 2! Our system still believes there is value on both pitchers in this match up especially against teams who routinely hit the ball poorly.
