3-1; +2.4 Units yesterday. Marking nine straight winning days. Trying to keep this ball rolling.
Mets/Marlins under 7.5 (2 Units)
Last time each of these two pitchers faced the opposing team, they each went 7 IP and gave up just 1 ER. That being said, both teams have been scoring runs as of late. However, the total has gone under in 4 of the last 5 times these teams have met (the exception being last night). Ricky Nolasco has been pitching great this season (4-0, 2.72 ERA) and even better recently (2-0, 1.69 ERA in last 3 games). Dickey has been solid in his own right (4-1, 3.76 ERA on the season) and (2-0, 2.14 ERA in last 3 starts). Furthermore, Dickey's knuckleball is tough to see earlier in the day (as are most pitches). Most totals I play in day games will be unders.
Brewers -160 (1 Unit)
I'm playing this one small, but I will continue to bet against Volstad every time he takes the mound. So far, it has paid off. Volstad is 0-4, 6.55 ERA statistically, and the Cubs have lost every start he's made this season. He has not won a decision since July of last year. The Brewers have also been losing the majority on games in which Shaun Marcum has made the start, however it hasn't been because Marcum didn't give them a chance to win. In 5 of his 6 starts this season, he has gone 6 or more innings and given up 3 or less runs. If Marcum puts together another quality start, the Brewers should be able to win this at home.
