I missed with my play of the day by a half-run last night, but still came away with a nice profit with my two underdog selections hitting. I can never complain about a 2-1 day but it's always about looking ahead in this business. MLB action is the only game in town today so it's back to the diamond with my plays today.

This game fits the bill of a strategy I've used a lot here on Drock Sports and I'm not about to skip over situations like this. Cardinals starter Shelby Miller was fantastic in is last outing, pitching a complete game, shutout against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays offense had been raking the ball until that point so slowing them down and completely blanking them was no easy task. But Miller hasn't shown that he's capable of sustaining that great play, especially with a 4.71 ERA in his last three starts (including that Jays game). He's been hit the hardest  in night games (5.08 ERA) as seven of the 10 HR's he's allowed this year have come after dark. He faces a Washington team that was blanked yesterday so the sticks will be ready and they've had no problem giving Strasburg plenty of help this year. Washington has scored 5.3 runs per Strasburg start this season (14 games) but that number goes up to [...]

It's been quite a run for my Top Plays as I hit another one last night to go to 9-0-1 on my last 10. Overall it was a 2-0 night for me on the diamond with Baltimore and Pittsburgh bringing home victories and I'm hopping to keep the good vibes going tonight. We've got Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final along with a full baseball board so let's dive right in.

Yes, it's my favorite pitcher C.J Wilson making another start away from home where he's gone 28-4-3 O/U in his last 35 starts away from home. Wilson's Angels have won five of six overall and nearly everyone in their lineup has hit Harang hard throughout his career. Pujols alone has 27 hits in 79 at-bats, but guys like Freese, Hamilton and Trout all have .467 or better batting averages lifetime against Harang with at least nine at-bats for all of them. But this play is all about Wilson's O/U record on the road and until it starts to burn me regularly, I'll always be looking out for his road starts.
