MLB Betting Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
Los Angeles Dodgers (Hyun-Jin Ryu) +130
Atlanta Braves (Paul Maholm) -140
Total: 7.5

The Dodgers are winners of four out of five, and we have to think that perhaps they have at least started to turn the corner just a little bit and could get back in the NL West race at some point. They have the man on the mound that could ultimately get the job done on Friday night in LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu. We think the world of this kid, and we think that he has a very bright future now that he is pitching in American baseball. He really only has one awful start in his career, and though his strikeout totals are down just a bit in his last two starts, he clearly still has a live arm that can strike out at least a batter an inning when push comes to shove. However, this is more a bet against the Braves than anything else. Atlanta is back at home where it has played great ball this season, but the team just lost five of its final six games on a West Coast trip that wrapped up two nights ago. We also don’t have any confidence whatsoever in LHP Paul Maholm. We think that this southpaw is consistently overrated, as he doesn’t strike out enough batters and often struggles when it comes to allowing walks. He has issued at least two free passes in five straight starts, and his 41 strikeouts isn’t good enough to counter that. We just don’t think all that much of the Braves at this point, and we think they’re going to get rocked on Friday night.

Location: Rangers Ballpark, Arlington, TX
Tigers vs. Rangers On TV: MLB Network

Bookmaker MLB

MLB Lines & Probable Starting Pitchers
Detroit Tigers (Justin Verlander) +115
Texas Rangers (Yu Darvish) -125
Total: 7.5

It’s the really square thing to do, but we are going to have no choice but to make our MLB predictions on the ‘under’ in this game. RHP Yu Darvish has been remarkable. He has been allowing too many home runs, and the possibility is there that he could be taken out of the park again in this game, but in the end, he has struck out at least eight batters in six straight starts, and this should be no exception. Just getting Darvish on our side alone is appealing, but now throw in there the fact that RHP Justin Verlander is going to be the man coming out of the other dugout. Verlander has a sub-2.00 ERA this season, and he deserves a whole heck of a lot better than a 4-3 record suggests. This is going to be one of these games where Verlander just takes over as we see it. Detroit could win this game, and we would take Verlander as an underdog in any situation, but in the end, we think that the Tigers won’t be able to generate nearly enough runs to get the job done and get this one past the number. The ‘under’ is the safest play to make on Thursday night, as more often than not, there is no way that this game is getting to eight runs.

Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers Pick: Under 7.5

The 2013 MLB betting season is off and running here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make more of our patented MLB picks for one of our favorite times of year. On Monday night, the New York Mets will be led onto the field by Jeremy Hefner, as they play host to the St. Louis Cardinals, who will be countering with Lance Lynn. The first pitch from Busch Stadium is set to be thrown out at 7:05 p.m. ET

MLB Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
New York Mets (Jeremy Hefner) +185
St. Louis Cardinals (Lance Lynn) -200
Total: 8

We’re going to play the percentages in this game, and it isn’t going to be a popular MLB pick by any stretch of the imagination. Overnight, 73% of the MLB betting population is backing the Cardinals, and we just aren’t all that sure that they should be favored by this whopping 1 to 2 margin. The Mets are having a hard time hitting the ball at the moment, but generally speaking, they’re pitching well. RHP Jeremy Hefner has better stats than 0-4 suggests, and RHP Lance Lynn probably isn’t quite as good as 5-1 suggests either. We also know that if push comes to shove and the St. Louis bullpen is called into action, as it is likely to be in this game, it has a 5.23 bullpen ERA, and that has to weigh on the minds of bettors as well. We think that the Cardinals are fortunate to be 9-2 in their last 11 games, but we have to remember th that they do have four wins by just one run in that stretch. The door is going to be open for New York to come right in and at least cover the +1.5, if not win the game outright, and as a result, we are going to take the run-line in what could be a much closer game than the so called MLB expert handicappers suggest.

Mets @ Cardinals Pick 5/13/13: New York Mets +1.5 (-115)

MLB Betting Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
Los Angeles Angels (CJ Wilson) +108
Chicago White Sox (Chris Sale) -118
Total: 8

The Angels are going for the sweep on Sunday Night Baseball, and we tend to think that they are going to get it. This is a team that really has its stuff going right for it right now. Granted, we know that it is only three games, but wins are wins when you’re so far below .500, especially when your expectations are rather high. LHP CJ Wilson has been one of the best starters on the staff all year long for the Halos, and he has been leading his team to win after win in spite of the fact that LA has flat out stunk. The bats are starting to come alive as well, and there is a sense that OF Josh Hamilton might finally be breaking out of this month-long slump to start off the season. The White Sox meanwhile, have everything going wrong for them. They only have 14 wins on the season, they haven’t strung two wins together since the very beginning of the month, and they have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last seven games. It’s just not going to be a fun one as we see it for the Pale Hose unless LHP Chris Sale pitches a remarkable gem. We know that he can, but we know that even allowing two runs over seven innings or something of the sorts, might not be enough to win.

Angels @ White Sox Pick: Los Angeles Angels +108

MLB Lines & Probable Starting Pitchers
Cleveland Indians (Ubaldo Jimenez) +215
Detroit Tigers (Justin Verlander) -225
Total: 7.5

We know that we aren’t coming up with some awesome revelation at this point that we should be betting on RHP Justin Verlander at home against RHP Ubaldo Jimenez, but do know that when we make our MLB picks on games, we are looking at all of the percentages, and we see this as at least a 70% winning opportunity for Detroit. Just some of the stats that we’ll be bringing up here are out of this world. The Tigers are 11-4 (73.3%) over the course of their last 15 games against Cleveland with Verlander starting. The Tribe are just 16-36 (20.8%) in their last 52 visits to Comerica Park. Detroit is 28-5 (84.8%) in Verlander’s last 33 starts when he has been a -200 favorite or greater, and he is 22-5 (81.5%) in his last 27 starts at home as -200 favorites or greater. Verlander has led the team to a 43-13 record (76.8%) in his last 56 starts at home, and so many of those have come in tremendously difficult situations. Now look at Jimenez… He is just 1-6 (14.3%) in his last seven starts on the road against a team with a winning record, and he is just 3-10 (23.1%) in his last 13 starts on the road overall. It’s just not looking good for Cleveland. The truth of the matter is that the fair price on this game should be at least -320, not -225, and for as square as the Tigers look on this night, they are clearly the right choice to make.

The 2013 MLB betting season is off and running here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make more of our patented MLB picks for one of our favorite times of year. On Friday night, the New York Yankees will be led onto the field by Phil Hughes, as they play host to the Kansas City Royals, who will be countering with Wade Davis. The first pitch from Kauffman Stadium is set to be thrown out at 8:10 p.m. ET

BetDSI

MLB Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
New York Yankees (Phil Hughes) +105
Kansas City Royals (Wade Davis) -115
Total: 8.5

This is the very first time that the Royals have been favored to win a series over the Yankees in well over a decade, and we aren’t even how far that streak goes back. However, Kansas City has to know that this is one of the biggest series that it has played in quite some time, as New York is the type of team that you have to beat, especially at home, if you are going to contend for a spot in the playoffs over the course of a 162-game season. It’s not a great pitching matchup for either side, knowing that neither man has been throwing the ball all that well. RHP Phil Hughes has led the Yankees to three straight wins, but we think all of that is going to come to a close in this one. RHP Wade Davis knows that this is why he was brought to Kansas City. Sure, RHP James Shields was the focal point of that trade which brought Davis from Tampa Bay to KC, but it’s a big start nonetheless, especially for a man who has a 4.75 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP thus far this season. Davis is going to have to keep the ball down in the zone in this one, and that’s something that he has historically done quite well against the Bronx Bombers. If he does that, these Royals should be on their way to a big time victory.

MLB Betting Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
Atlanta Braves (Julio Teheran) +105
San Francisco Giants (Ryan Vogelsong) -117
Total: 7.5

RHP Julio Teheran is a man that we are going to continue to fade until he loses at this point. The righty has led the Braves to wins in all five of his starts this year, but when you look at what he has accomplished, he is only 1-0 with a 5.08 ERA and a dreadful 1.66 WHIP. Teheran has allowed at least six hits in all of his starts on the season, and he pitches to a ton of contact, which isn’t going to sit well against a San Francisco team that has a huge ballpark with which to be hitting in. His foe for the night is RHP Ryan Vogelsong, who is going to have to get back into form at some point. These last few seasons, Vogelsong really has looked sharp, and he basically has resurrected his career in San Fran. However, through six starts this season, the righty is 1-2 with a 7.20 ERA, and he has allowed a total of 17 runs in his last three starts. The Braves did just take two out of three from the Cincinnati Reds at the Great American Ball Park, but the Giants have won seven of their last nine games and are streaking. We want the defending World Series champions on our side, especially only just barely laying any chalk whatsoever against a team and a pitcher that we think could be overrated through just a fifth of the season.

Bookmaker MLB

MLB Lines & Probable Starting Pitchers
Detroit Tigers (Anibal Sanchez) +100
Washington Nationals (Jordan Zimmerman) -110
Total: 7

This is a heck of a pitching matchup in this game, as we know that both RHP Anibal Sanchez and RHP Jordan Zimmerman can both put together great outings. Both of these men have sub-2.00 ERAs at this point, but we still aren’t all that sure offense isn’t what we should be backing. Do remember that Detroit is averaging 5.47 runs per game this year, the best such mark in the game, and the team is batting .285 this year. Yes, the Nationals rank 27th in the MLB in total offense at just 3.53 runs per game, and they also are playing in a pitcher’s park, but we have to think that their offense is going to pick it up at some point in the near future. Washington has scored 11 runs in its last two games, while Detroit has put up 26 runs in its last two games. That’s more than good enough for us. It isn’t going to take a whole heck of a lot to get this game up to the ‘total’, as both teams would have to score just three runs to get this one to at least be a push. However, we think that both starting pitchers are going to be knocked around just a bit, at least in relation to what they are used to conceding in this game to push this one past the ‘total’ by a relatively comfortable margin.

Detroit Tigers @ Washington Nationals Pick: Over 7

The 2013 MLB betting season is off and running here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make more of our patented MLB picks for one of our favorite times of year. On Sunday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be led onto the field by Hyun-Jin Ryu, as they play host to the San Francisco Giants, who will be countering with Matt Cain. The first pitch from AT&T Park is set to be thrown out at 8:05 p.m. ET

MLB Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
Los Angeles Dodgers (Hyun-Jin Ryu) -135
San Francisco Giants (Matt Cain) +125
Total: 6.5

It’s a bit shocking to us to see how the Dodgers are actually the road favorites in this game by a relatively comfortable margin. The oddsmakers clearly don’t have all that much confidence in RHP Matt Cain. Granted, we know that Cain has been atrocious this season, posting an ERA of nearly 6.50, and he has allowed nine home runs in his last four starts combined. To put that in comparison, the righty allowed nine home runs in his entire 2011 season. That’s why RHP Hyun-Jin Ryu is the favorite in this one. Ryu has been remarkable over the course of the first six starts of his career, and he is unlucky to have a single loss to his credit. The righty has arguably been the best rookie in the league this year, and there is no doubt that he is going to be in the running on the Rookie of the Year voting this year. Here’s the issue that we have with Ryu: He has never faced the same team twice. We think that asking these two teams to be held under three runs apiece is going to be a difficult challenge. Go with the ‘over’ on Sunday Night Baseball.

Dodgers @ Giants Pick 5/5/13: Over 6.5

MLB Betting Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
St. Louis Cardinals (Adam Wainwright) -121
Milwaukee Brewers (Yovani Gallardo) +111
Total: 7.5

There’s a good pitching matchup here in Beer Country on Saturday afternoon, as the ace for both the Brewers and the Cardinals will be on the bump against each other. RHP Adam Wainwright has really done well this season, and he has only allowed a total of eight runs over the course of his last five starts. In that mix includes a complete game shutout against none other than these Brewers. What is really getting Wainwright victories is his efficiency, and he is starting to look like the man that went 39-19 over the course of the 2009 and 2010 seasons combined. Wainwright hasn’t averaged more than 14.4 pitches per inning in each of his last five starts, and he only has three walks against 43 strikeouts for the season. Of course, if there is a man that has a chance to take care of Wainwright, RHP Yovani Gallardo would be the man to do the job. Gallardo has a 4.25 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP this year, but he has been a heck of a lot better in his last three starts than he was in his first three. We are concerned that Gallardo isn’t the same man that has won at least 14 games and has gone +7 in the win/loss column in each of the last three years, but we have to remember that he is still just 27 years old and clearly shouldn’t be in a position where he has lost it. Had these two met last season, Gallardo would have been the favorite. We think that he should be in this one as well.

MLB Lines & Probable Starting Pitchers
Baltimore Orioles (Freddy Garcia) +125
Los Angeles Angels (Tommy Hanson) -135
Total: 9

The pitching matchup for this game really isn’t all that special, and the likelihood is there that there could be a heck of a lot of runs in this game. RHP Freddy Garcia is going to be making his first start for the Orioles after throwing just 107.1 innings last year for the New York Yankees and posting a 5.20 GAA. The truth of the matter is that we don’t expect Garcia to be around all that long in this game, knowing that he has been nothing more than a lousy pitcher for the most part for the last several seasons. RHP Tommy Hanson hasn’t done all that much either. He has only allowed two runs in his last 12 innings of work, which is solid work, but the way that the team is going right now, we just don’t trust that Hanson or the LA bullpen are going to be able to hold up. The Angels had scored at least five runs in three straight games before getting crushed by RHP Chris Tillman on Thursday night, and we expect that they are going to be able to get back to their scoring ways in this one. We have to think that there are going to be at least 10 runs scored in this game when push comes to shove.

Baltimore Orioles @ Los Angeles Angels Pick: Over 9

The 2013 MLB betting season is off and running here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make more of our patented MLB picks for one of our favorite times of year. On Friday night, the Boston Red Sox will be led onto the field by Felix Doubront, as they play host to the Texas Rangers, who will be countering with Derek Holland. The first pitch from Rangers Ballpark is set to be thrown out at 8:05 p.m. ET

BetDSI

MLB Odds & Probable Starting Pitchers
Boston Red Sox (Felix Doubront) +112
Texas Rangers (Derek Holland) -120
Total: 9.5

If there is such a thing as a bad scheduling spot for a team in baseball, this is it. It’s really unfair for the Red Sox to have had to play a game last night at the Rogers Centre, only to have to turn around and come back to Arlington to play the Rangers roughly 16 hours after getting on the airplane to get into town. To make matters worse, the pitching matchup really isn’t all that friendly either. Simply put, LHP Derek Holland is due for some good fortune, while the baseball gods are eventually going to stop watching over LHP Felix Doubront. We do love that Doubront has struck out 50 batters in his last six starts combined, but there is a point that a man that hasn’t pitched deeper than 6.2 innings all season long is going to get punished. Boston is averaging 7.5 runs per game of support for its lefty, and that is all going to come crashing down against Holland. Texas’ southpaw has been unfortunate from the standpoint that he is just 1-2 in spite of the fact that he has a 3.38 ERA and a sub-1.00 WHIP in his 34.2 innings of work. The team hasn’t helped him all that much in terms of errors, and the bullpen has been brutal as well. Holland will get it all to go his way on Friday night though, as he leads the Rangers to victory against the Bo Sox.
