Cincinnati Reds @ Atlanta Braves Tuesday May 15, 2012 7:10 pm
3* MLB SMASH on Braves -110 The Braves are showing some nice value at home this price. Cincy's Cueto is out of the gate strong, but I expect him to get popped tonight. The Reds have lost his last 2 starts against the Braves, during which he has given up 6 runs on 15 hits in 13 ... read more

Kansas City Royals @ Texas Rangers Monday May 14, 2012 8:05 pm
4* MLB Blowout on Rangers -1.5 +110 Kansas City enters off a pair of impressive road wins in Chicago, but it is just 1-12 in road games since the start of last season after 2 or more consecutive wins. It has lost by an average score of 4.6 to 2.4 in this situation. Plus, the Royals ... read more

4* MLB *Afternoon Delight* on Cardinals -150 Off back-to-back losses to the Braves, expect the Cards to leave it all on the field in order to salvage a game in the series. St. Louis will certainly be in good hands with Lance Lynn toeing the rubber. Dating back to last season, ... read more

Atlanta Braves @ St. Louis Cardinals Saturday May 12, 2012 7:15 pm
4* MLB SMASH on Cardinals -123 I really like the Cards at home at this price given their success against the Braves, and more specifically Wainwright's success against them. The St. Louis ace has turned it around since a slow start. The Cards have won his last two starts, and ... read more

Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers Friday May 11, 2012 10:10 pm
4* MLB Friday Night Blowout on Dodgers -1.5 +115 The Dodgers are 12-3 at home this season and should have little trouble continuing their home dominance with Jamie Moyer stepping to the hill for Colorado. The ancient left-hander is 1-2 (1-5 on the ML) with an ERA of 4.01 on the ... read more

Toronto Blue Jays @ Minnesota Twins Thursday May 10, 2012 8:10 pm
4* MLB SMASH on Blue Jays -150 The Blue Jays have had Minnesota's number, and I expect their dominance over the Twins to continue given the advantage they have on the mound. First off, the Blue Jays are 35-17 in the last 52 meetings in this series. They are a perfect 4-0 in their ... read more

4* MLB *Mound Mismatch* on Red Sox -150 The Royals won yesterday, but that was just their 3rd win in 16 home games this season. Expect their home struggles to continue against a Boston team that has won 7 of its last 9 on the road and holds the major edge on the mound. Dating ... read more

4* MLB SMASH on Blue Jays -119 Off back-to-back defeats, the Blue Jays will be lacking no focus or hunger when they take the field against an inferior Oakland club. Oakland only has one less win than the Jays right now, but be rest assured that won't be the case by season's end. ... read more

Los Angeles Dodgers @ Chicago Cubs Saturday May 5, 2012 1:05 pm
4* MLB *Afternoon Delight* on Dodgers -145 I'm fading the Cubs this afternoon with Volstad on the hill. Doing so has produced a perfect 5-0 mark this season as he is 0-3 (0-5 on the ML) with an ERA of 6.11 Getting behind LA's Chris Capuano has been a better option. ... read more

Toronto Blue Jays @ Los Angeles Angels Thursday May 3, 2012 10:05 pm
4* MLB SMASH on Angels -128 The Blue Jays are only batting .218 on the road, and they'll have a tough time getting much of anything off Dan Haren tonight. He has been dominant over his last 3 starts, going 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA. It is also worth noting that his teams have won 7 of ... read more
