Visit Touthouse.com for more expert MLB baseball picks from Black Widow

The Cleveland Indians are showing excellent value tonight against the Boston Red Sox. They have given Boston all they can handle thus far in this series, outscoring the Red Sox 11-9 while splitting the first two games. In fact, Cleveland is 5-3 in eight meetings with Boston this season. They have the better starter on the mound tonight, and as a result we will back them as Wednesday’s free pick. Carlos Carrasco is 5-2 with a 2.73 ERA and 1.101 WHIP in 10 road starts this season, clearly at his best away from home. Tim Wakefield is 6-4 with a 5.11 ERA and 1.344 WHIP in 14 starts this year for Boston. Carrasco has beaten some very good teams on the road this year, including the Yankees and Rays from the AL East. The Indians are 4-1 in Carrasco’s last 5 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Red Sox are 2-8 in Wakefield’s last 10 starts vs. American League Central. Take the Indians on the Money Line.

Prediction: Cleveland Indians +115
The Cleveland Indians are showing some great value on the money line once again. Rarely will you continue to see a team with such a good record continue to come in as an underdog, but until the public starts to jump on board they are going to continue to be a strong play. The Indians will start Josh Tomlin, who is 6-2 with a 2.74 ERA and 0.898 WHIP. Toronto will counter with Kyle Drabek, who is just 3-3 with a 4.16 ERA and 1.612 WHIP. A clear starting pitching advantage for the Indians. Cleveland is 23-13 against right handed starters this season, compared to just 9-7 against lefties. The Blue Jays on the other hand are just 19-21 against right handed starters. The Indians also 10-3 in their last 13 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, 15-5 in their last 20 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, and 9-3 in Tomlin’s last 12 starts. -Steve Janus

Prediction: Minnesota Twins +140
The Twins have lost 7 of their last 11 games by just 1 run, and it’s only a matter of time before they start to turn it around. Even though the Twins are without Joe Mauer, they are hitting the ball well. Minnesota should continue to see their offense produce tonight, as they take on Rick Porcello of the Tigers, who is 1-2 with a 7.80 ERA at home this season. The Twins will send Scott Baker to the mound, who is 2-3 with a 3.65 ERA in 2011, with both wins coming on the road, where he has a 3.18 ERA. -Info Plays

Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers +114
The struggling Rockies continue to be fade material with Ubaldo Jimenez on the hill. Last season’s third place finisher in the NL Cy Young voting is 0-5 (1-8 on the money line) with an ERA of 5.86 this season. Plus, he hasn’t had much luck against the Dodgers lately. The Rockies are just 2-7 in Jimenez’s last 9 starts vs. LAD. The Dodgers are 27-13 against Colorado since the beginning of the 2009 season, including 14-6 at home during this span. Look for LA to continue its dominance against Colorado here. -Jeff Alexander. Get more MLB baseball picks from our sports handicappers at Touthouse.com

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays -112
I believe there is a ton of value on the Blue Jays at home against the Cleveland Indians. Toronto comes into the game on a three game winning streak, while the Indians have won just one of their last five. The Blue Jays offense has scored 26 runs over the three game stretch, and should have no trouble keeping it going. Cleveland’s starter Fausto Carmona is just 3-5 with a 4.73 ERA this season, but has really struggled of late and on the road. He is 1-3 in five starts on the road and is 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA over his last three starts. The Blue Jays counter with Jo-Jo Reyes, who hasn’t been great, but with the way the offense is rolling he should be able to come in and grab his first win of the season. The oddsmakers have the Blue Jays favored for a reason. Reyes will be making his first career start against the Indians, which should give him a slight advantage early. The Blue Jays are 19-11 against the money line in night games this season, 19-7 in their last 26 during game 1 of a series, 7-2 in their last 9 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game, and 7-1 in their last 8 vs. American League Central.BET TORONTO! -Steve Janus

Pick: Cincinnati Reds -122
The Reds are one of the best hitting teams against left handed starters this year. In 9 games against lefties they’ve averaged 6.6 runs per game and hit .296 as a team. They are also one of the strongest home teams in baseball, posting a 15-11 record so far this season. Today they are paired with the Milwaukee Brewers who, despite their recent success, are one of the worst road teams in the Majors at just 8-17. The Brewers score over a run less per game on the road and hit over 30 points worse per game away from Miller Park. The smart money is on the Reds at Great American Ballpark on Monday. -Jack Jones

Pick: St. Louis Cardinals -139
The Giants, which have lost 5 of their last 6, find themselves at a disadvantage this afternoon with Bumgarner on the hill against the red hot Red Birds – winners of 10 of their last 13. San Francisco is just 2-8 in Bumgarner’s starts this season, only providing him an average of 2.37 runs of support. He can’t expect much run support here with McClellan dealing for St. Louis. He’s 5-1 (8-1 on the money line) with an ERA of 3.12 in 9 starts this season. The Cards are a perfect 4-0 in his 4 home starts. The converted reliever has pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings of relief against the Giants in six appearances. The Giants have lost 4 of their last 5 in St. Louis and I expect their struggles to continue tonight. Get more expert MLB picks from our professional sports handicappers at Touthouse.com
