2 Play Package 19-3 MLB Run Continues No POD's today

[Pick Bot]

Don't miss out on our two play package as we have gone on a nice 19-3 MLB Run. We are 11-0 in our last 11 MLB POD's, but we won't have a play of the day tonight, but instead we have two value plays going backed with a full in depth analysis.

I'm passing on a play of the day today as I don't see any play warranting more than a 3* play.

A's -105 2* play
The A's have very quietly put up great numbers offensively. They've done it vs. LHP which they'll face tonight in Jeff Locke who is far exceeding his raw stats. Locke is walking nearly 4 guys per 9 innings has a 84.2 LOB% and has a .233 BABIP. I think it's more luck than skill and he faces the A's who are 4th in OPS vs. LHP and 6th in OPS on the road. Oakland is also scoring 4.95 runs per 9 over their last 10 vs. LHP. Meanwhile the Pirates still struggle at times putting runs on the board, but their pitching has been the best in the National League. Playing an American league offense could be trouble as they are 23-51 in their last 74 inter league games vs. a winning team and 0-9 in their last 9 vs. the A's.

Brewers +125 1.5* play
Last time out we had Homer Bailey big and he produced by pitching a no hitter. This was almost our POD considering Bailey is now on the road and is due for a hang over after throwing a no hitter, but the Reds were smart and gave him 5 days off, but I still think he struggles. He's 2-7 in his last 9 road starts and has a 4.41 ERA on the road while he's given up 10 ERin his last 2 starts at Milwaukee who has a .851 OPS against him. Kyle Lohse starts for the Brewers and has looked consistent again.
