Tough 1-2 day with my plays yesterday as my teams against those dominant lefties Sale and Kershaw didn’t even score a run. Hamilton came through for me later though to salvage what I could, but I’ve already moved on to a couple of later games today.

San Diego Padres ML (+156) $200 to win $312

Similar situation to Friday’s opener in this series as I’m taking the team no one wants in a spot where they are a .500 team. After Friday’s win against lefty Alex Wood, San Diego is now 11-11 SU against southpaw starters this season. Mike Minor has been far from good for the Braves of late with a 7.88 ERA over his last three and another short outing might not be that far away.

Oakland/Texas Over 9 (-108) $324 to win $300

Was burned with the ‘over’ in this game yesterday as part of our premium package, but am going back with it tonight in the rare late evening start in Texas.

Miles Mikolas has been terrible in his four starts for the Rangers this season, sporting a 7.48 ERA and watching an average of 6.2 runs score against him. He’s not quite ready for the big stage but thanks to all the injuries he’s been brought up to the rotation. He hasn’t faced Oakland yet this year and the patient A’s will wait for him to groove one. The A’s are 11-3 O/U the last 11 times they’ve been laying -200 or more and this could turn into one of those 10-2 A’s wins we’ve seen often this year.

Texas should be able to contribute too as they are 37-17-3 O/U the last 57 times they’ve faced a southpaw starter and that includes a 5-0 O/U mark the last five times at home. Kazmir has a 2-0-2 O/U run going in his last four on the road so he isn’t quite the same guy away from the Coliseum.
