Scott Rickenbach MLB free bet June 27

*action on pitchers* MLB Monday Free Pick OVER 8.5 in Kansas City Royals vs Texas Rangers @ 8:10 ET – The Rangers should hammer a struggling Bubic. I like overs in spots like this when it is the road team with the better pitcher on the mound because usually the home team is destined to get their runs regardless. At the same time the road team should pound at the plate when they face a struggling pitcher even though they are away from home and that is the set up we have here. Bubic is 0-3 with a 7.78 ERA at home this season. As strong as Perez has been for Texas this season, he has allowed 20 hits in 12 innings in his last two road starts. More of the same here. The Royals have scored an average of 6 runs per game last 7 home games. The Rangers have scored an average of 7 runs per game last 6 road games. Free Pick OVER 8.5 in Kansas City .

*action on pitchers* Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach MLB Friday Free Pick Milwaukee Brewers +105 @ Cincinnati Reds @ 6:40 ET – I know the Brewers have been struggling but this is a great value spot for them in my opinion. Milwaukee is scheduled to start Eric Lauer and he has better numbers on the season than Hunter Greene. I know Greene has perhaps deserved better but still he gives up the big hits when it matters the most and that is why he has the higher ERA. Also, regardless of starting pitchers here, note all the support for the road team in this one. Milwaukee is 19-11 in divisional games and 25-17 versus right-handers. Cincinnati is 10-13 in divisional games and 7-11 versus lefties. Also, Reds are 13-24 in night games while Brewers are 22-18 in night games this season. Solid line value with the road team at a pick’em price. Free Pick MILWAUKEE -105.

*action on pitchers* MLB Monday Free Pick OVER 9.5 in Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves @ 7:05 ET – The Braves are off a 5-3 win yesterday and have won 11 straight games and scored an average of 6.8 runs per game last dozen games. The Nationals hit okay yesterday but did not have much to show for it on the scoreboard in a 4-1 loss. Prior to that defeat, Washington had won 5 of 8 games and scored an average of 6.1 runs per game. In other words, both these teams have been hitting quite well and, regardless of pitchers here, my play here is the over. As for the projected starters in this one I will mention they are Anderson for the Braves and Gray for the Nats. Anderson has been hit hard over last 3 starts and compiled a 5.60 ERA in those outings and all 3 went over the total. Gray has an ugly 7.14 ERA in his 6 home starts this season. Free Pick OVER 9.5 in Washington.

ASA play on: UNDER 8.5 Miami Marlins @ Houston Astros, 4:10PM ET

We don’t see many runs being scored in today’s game between the Marlins and Astros and will bet UNDER here. Even though Houston is one of better teams in league at 36-22 and 1st in the A.L. West, they don’t average a lot of runs per game (23rd at 4.10RPG) and hits per game (21st). Houston is facing a pitcher they haven’t seen before in lefty Braxton Garrett, not to mention they average hit just .222 against lefties which ranks 26th in MLB. Houston will go with starting pitcher Framber Valdez who is 6-2 with an ERA of 2.61 which is 14th best in the league. The Astros have won his last 6 starts and he’s given up just 12 runs on 35 total hits. Even in his 2 most recent losses he pitched well giving up only 3 earned runs on 6 hits in 12.1 innings pitched. Miami is 11th in runs per game at 4.52 but don’t hit lefties well at all with the worst OBP% and a team batting average of .206 which is also last in MLB. The Marlins have had a few higher scoring games, but they came against Washington and at Colorado who rank 29th and 30th in runs allowed per game this season. The Astros are 2nd in the league allowing just 3.38 runs per game with their best pitcher on the mound. Bet Under.

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach Sunday Free Pick OVER 9 in Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals @ 1:40 ET – The Nationals won 10-8 over the Reds yesterday as both these teams continue to give up piles of runs. Only Colorado (and remember their home games in the thin air of Denver!) have allowed more runs this season than Washington and Cincinnati have. Look for another wild one this afternoon in Cincinnati. The Nats Corbin is having an awful season including 0-4 with 8.17 ERA in road games this season. Luis Castillo has been pitching well for the Reds lately but does have a 4.65 ERA in his two home starts this season. He is 0-4 with a 4.94 ERA against the Nationals also in his five career starts against them. Over is 17-7 in Reds home games this season and 17-8 in Nats games this season. Free Pick OVER 9 in Cincinnati.
