DAVE ESSLER Saturday MLB Thoughts

Cardinals-Cubs: At one time both pitchers were all about being played on. I suppose given that the Cardinals have struggled this year against lefties, I'd have to lean Wood(y)here. My only caveat is that Kelly was just hit pretty hard by the Cubs, and the Cardinals are one team that's hit Wood well. Perhaps the square over in this one, given that neither team has a bullpen.

Miami-Giants: Have to think this game stays under. Best bullpen probably wins, and that would be the Giants, usually. Cain has been pitching well, and this is one game I will most assuredly wait for lineups in. Obviously each team has a couple of players that really matter, and if anyone's resting it could change things.

Arizona-Pittsburgh: I've always like to back Cahill away from Arizona, and really wonder whether Locke has run his course, or he gets back closer to where he was a month ago. But, it's always tough to take a pitcher coming off the DL or any pitcher after a layoff, so I suspect the Pirates may be favored by more than they should for that very reason. Lean under a little, since neither pitcher can hit. I remember well recently how Locke couldn't even bunt, so I can see taking Arizona here, perhaps.

Dodgers-Phillies: Clearly Kershaw is going to be too expensive for me to take as a road ML favorite, but certainly not someone I'd fade, either. Kendrick has given up a ton of runs and perhaps more importantly to me a ton of flyball outs, so this well could be the Dodgers RL, especially given that they're assured nine at bats.

Reds-Brewers: Latos always burns me, and so does Gallardo. But, Gallardo has also had two weeks off w.a hamstring issue, so it might be tough to try and take the cool home dog here, not to mention the Reds have pretty much had their way with him over the years. The interesting thing about Latos' recent success is that most of it has been against very weak teams. With that in mind, and both pitchers can hit, I may think about the over in this one.

Nationals-Braves: Obviously the marquee pitching matchup of the day, and we simply don't take the Nationals against left handed pitchers. Usually. Minor DOES give up a lot of long outs and can get away with it in the big stadium. This may be the best value on Strasburg, but the Braves have had as much success against him as anyone. With Uggla out (who hits Strasburg) I may think about doing the unthinkable here and taking Washington.

Mets-Padres: I simply cannot back Volquez under any circumstances. He can make a AA team look good if they have any patience to wait for strikes to be thrown. Almost do not care who the Mets pitcher is.

Yankees-Boston: Well, two mortal enemies and two pitchers than can be good or bad. Kuroda beat Boston back in late July, so either he's got no problem in Fenway, Boston has revenge, or that was a different Boston team. I tend to think a bit of all three. Lackeys' shown he's human since the AS break, and I remember saying when I watched him pitch against Houston that I'd fade him from now on against good hitting teams w/patience. That would be the Yankees, so for that reason, and if New Yorks' pen is straightened out Friday, we may got their.

Royals-Tigers: Well the Tigers showed signs of vulnerability losing to Duffy, and part of me wonders if, with Verlander, that doesn't play on their minds a bit. You guys know I won't lay -200 anyway, and even the RL against a team that CAN hit RHP pretty well, isn't an option, so Royals RL or nothing, but I hate Wade Davis. Well, I do not know Wade Davis, I just don't like betting on him. Royals pen pretty slick this season, so perhaps under.

Toronto-Tampa Bay: Against Happ I actually thought this line would be higher. Perhaps, given that the Rays typically beat left handed pitchers, this is a trap of sorts. Fausto has kind of been Fausto the last few times out, and always gives up SOME. For some unknown reason, that line makes me want to take Toronto. Anytime Happ pitches I want to take the over, but in the Trop I learned my lesson (again) and we shall wait this one out.

White Sox-Twins: OK, who wouldn't jump on Sale against the Twins, even if the game were played on Mars. At -110 I could do two things. Fire it now, or actually look at the game and Albers. Clearly he's not throwing another two-hit shutout, or maybe he is, but for now the only play here is under.

Seattle-Texas: First we'll wait and see how the Mariners fare in the heat, but we like to fade them versus LHP. And of course we don't typically fade Felix. However, they've seen so much of him over the years that there are no surprises. They've had some success, as much as most teams, so I would not rule out the Rangers at home at that price. I do go back to the fact that Seattle should have beaten Price last week. Another one (game) that Friday's game has a big bearing on for me.

Houston-Angels: Well Kuechel has got a bad rap, but any LHP these days take Josh Hamilton out of the equation. Richards has been great, but as a reliever turned starter I keep waiting for the middle inning meltdown, and subsequent inclusion of the Angels terrible bullpen. I am not laying -200 on a team that has 20 players that have quit and is about to call up their entire AAA team anyways, so the Angels RL is out of the question. Have to lean under here, which is always scary when Kuehel pitches, but at the opening of 8.5u (-120) that seems to be the trend, meaning there's probably no rush, if you like the over, to get it before 9.

Cleveland-Oakland: Since the A's ARE (can be) a patient team, I can't take Cleveland with Ubaldo, period. It's not unlike betting on Volquez. Only the Angels and Texas have done much damage to Straily, who the Indians haven't seen at all, so in the big park, advantage Oakland from start to finish, IMO.

Colorado-Baltimore: So now Bud Norris with an offense is a -180 pitcher. Seriously don't think so, and honestly Colorado hits right handed pitching better than left handed pitching, has a DH in this game, and unless the Orioles pen gets back on track from the West Coast shellacking, the Rockies may be live here.
