Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Indians
Betting Prediction: Royals +105 odds (June 18th 2013)
CLICK HERE FOR JACK JONES’ EXPERT BASEBALL PICKS

The Kansas City Royals are playing their best baseball of the season over the past two weeks. They have won 11 of their last 13 games overall to get back to .500 on the season. With the way they are playing, they should not be an underdog tonight.

That’s especially the case considering the edge they have on the mound in this one. Ervin Santana has proven to be a huge addition to the rotation, going 5-5 with a 2.74 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in 13 starts. The right-hander is also 2-2 with a 2.43 ERA and 0.910 WHIP in six road starts, and 2-0 with a 0.83 ERA and 0.692 WHIP in his last three starts overall.

Ubaldo Jimenez continues to struggle for Cleveland. The right-hander is 5-4 with a 4.79 ERA and 1.374 WHIP in 13 starts this season. He has been at his worst at home, going 2-3 with a 7.53 ERA and 1.674 WHIP through six home starts in 2013.

Santana has owned Cleveland of late, going 2-0 with a miniscule 0.64 ERA in his last two starts against the Indians. He has allowed just one earned run and 11 base runners over 14 innings in those two outings. Jimenez is 3-2 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in five career starts against Kansas City. Bet the Royals Tuesday.

Free Comp Selection from Doc’s Sports for Tuesday: #926. Take Toronto Blue Jays Over Colorado (Tuesday @ 7:05 pm est.) Additional Baseball Lean – Brewers over Astros today. The Blue Jays are (6-1) in their last (7) interleague home games. Colorado starter Jeff Francis has a good ERA his last three starts, but look who he’s faced: the Cubs, Padres and Nationals, three of the worst offensive teams in baseball. Now he heads to the Rogers Center in Toronto, a home run happy park. For the season Francis is (2-4) with a (5.87) ERA and the Rockies are (1-6) in Francis’ last (7) starts. Toronto has gotten hot, a nice run the last two weeks, winning games as a road dogs. Blue Birds starter Esmil Rogers (3.21 ERA) is allowing fewer hits than innings pitched. Rogers has allowed just two runs over his last (23 2/3) innings pitched. He has a (2.79) ERA in (14) appearances. The Rockies are (0-6) in the last (6) visits North of the Border.

Chicago White Sox vs. Houston Astros
MLB Prediction: White Sox -106 odds (June 17th 2013)
CLICK HERE FOR JACK JONES’ PREMIUM BASEBALL PICKS

The Chicago White Sox get the nod Monday as a small road favorite over the lowly Houston Astros (26-44). After losing four straight, including the first three to Houston in this series, the Sox are highly motivated for a victory to avoid the sweep.

I like Chicago’s chances of getting back in the win column tonight behind the underrated Jose Quintana. The left-hander has gone 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 13 starts this season, including 1-0 with a 3.53 ERA in six road starts.

Bud Norris has pitched pretty well for Houston, too, going 5-6 with a 3.47 ERA. However, he has been fortunate to post that solid of an ERA considering he sports a 1.422 WHIP on the year. He puts a ton of runners on base, and I look for the White Sox to take advantage.

The White Sox are 6-1 in their last 7 games after losing the first 3 games of a series. Chicago is 12-2 in Quintana’s last 14 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. The Astros are 49-108 in their last 157 overall. Houston is 25-53 in its last 78 games as a home underdog. The Astros are 9-25 in Norris’ last 34 starts. Bet the White Sox Monday.

Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics
MLB Prediction: Seattle +113 odds (June 15th 2013)
CLICK HERE FOR JESSE SCHULE’S EXPERT BASEBALL PICKS

This is a free prediction on the Mariners over the Athletics on June 15th 2013.

The Mariners upset the A’s in last night’s series opener, as Oakland continued to struggle at the plate. The A’s have scored just five runs over their last two games (27 innings) after defeating the Yankees 3-2 in an 18 inning marathon on Thursday night.

Facing Felix Hernandez tonight certainly isn’t going to help, Felix is coming off another fantastic performance in a losing effort in his last start. Hernandez (7-4, 2.49 ERA) allowed just one run on five hits over seven innings in a 2-1 loss to the Yankees, not factoring in the decision.

He likes pitching on the West Coast, and Oakland is no exception. Felix is 5-2 with a 2.78 ERA in his last 12 starts versus the A’s, and he’s 2-0 with a 3.30 ERA in his last six visits to Oakland.

A.J. Griffin will get the nod for the home team, and he’s 0-2 in his last three starts. Griffin (5-5, 3.78 ERA) allowed four runs on seven hits, including a pair of home runs in a 4-2 loss to Chicago (one of the worst teams in the majors) in his last start. He’s only produced one quality start in his last four outings, and he’s going to need to be a whole lot better opposite Felix tonight.

The Mariners are terrible offensively, but Griffin hasn’t been sharp lately, and we are getting them as a dog with their ace on the mound.

New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels

Doc’s Sports Friday MLB Free Play. 2-0 in baseball the last two days (both underdogs) and more good things coming on Friday!

Free MLB prediction from Doc’s Sports Take #926 Los Angeles Angels over New York Yankees (10:05pm ET) The New York Yankees come to Anaheim to take on the Los Angeles Angels. There’s quite a contrast in how these teams will be feeling coming into tonight’s game. The Yankees went 18 innings on Thursday night in a 3-2 loss in Oakland. They utilized their entire bullpen and are surely a bit fatigued after playing the equivalent of two games and then traveling afterwards. The Angels, meanwhile, had the day off on Thursday as they prepared for their series with the Yanks. Baseball is a long season and these types of extreme situations do occur from time to time, but rarely with teams on either end of it. C.J. Wilson and Andy Pettitte will go head-to-head in this one. They have similar numbers on the season, but Wilson has fared better against the Yanks in his career and New York struggles against southpaws. Pettitte is also going to be asked to go a little deeper than usual with the bullpen getting overworked yesterday, so that could affect the 41-year old. The Angels are well-rested and I think they get the job done today.

MLB Predictions: June 14th 2013
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres
Pick: Padres -115 odds
CLICK HERE FOR FREDDY WILL’S EXPERT BASEBALL PICKS

No plays on Thursday with the exception of the NBA Finals where we are 3-1 ATS in the series. We are looking for a huge weekend in MLB and it all starts on Friday where there are 10 pitchers with ERA’s under 3.00 and just 4 with ERA’s over 6.00 over their last three starts combined. I look at one pitcher and one team that has a ton of value right now as the free MLB pick of the day.

San Diego Padres (Eric Stults -117 1* FREE PLAY)
Eric Stults has been pretty consistent all year and comes into this game with a 0.73 WHIP over 22 innings with a 1.64 ERA over his last three starts combined. Stults will go up against the Diamondbacks who he’s had moderate success against. The Diamondbacks are a much stronger team against RHP this season as they have just a .249 average and are scoring 3.56 runs per 9 vs LHP on the year and 3.37 on the road. San Diego will back up Stults with a very good bullpen that has a 2.79 ERA at home.

Trevor Cahill will start on the opposite side and he has an ERA over 8 over his last three starts combined. Cahill on the season has just 5.69 K/9 and a 3.35 BB/9 which for me is not a very good ratio. He’s getting just 25.4 % of swings outside the zone and his only out pitch is his sinker and ability to get ground balls. The Padres don’t win with the long ball any way so I expect them to continue their hot hitting and for Cahill to struggle again. The Padres are 3rd with a .820 OPS over the last 7 days.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Minnesota Twins
Prediction: Phillies -130 odds
CLICK HERE FOR JACK JONES’ EXPERT MLB BASEBALL PICKS

The Philadelphia Phillies have a big edge on the mound tonight with Cliff Lee over Minnesota’s Kevin Correia. I’ll lay a little extra juice here and back the Phillies as they come in highly motivated to put an end to their current 5-game losing streak.

Lee has pitched like the former Cy Young that he is in 2013. The left-hander has gone 7-2 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.007 WHIP in 13 starts this season, including 5-1 with a 1.80 ERA and 0.867 WHIP in eight road starts.

Correia is 5-4 with a 4.11 ERA and 1.318 WHIP in 12 starts this season for Minnesota, including 1-0 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.368 WHIP in his last three outings. The right-hander is 1-2 with a monstrous 9.98 ERA and 2.674 WHIP in four career starts against Philadelphia.

Minnesota is 7-31 (-22.0 Units) against the money line vs. a starting pitcher who throws more than 6.5 innings per start over the last 2 seasons. Philadelphia is 6-1 in Lee’s last 7 starts overall. The Twins are 14-49 in their last 63 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Bet the Phillies Thursday.
