Tuesday MLB Sports Betting News and Notes

Here are Tuesday’s baseball betting news and notes from the private clipboard of the top baseball handicappers at OffshoreInsiders.com  

Devil Rays-Orioles

Tampa’s Jason Hammel has a 10.42 ERA in the month of August. However, he faces an Orioles team that has lost six straight. Daniel Cabrera is 6-0 lifetime to Tampa with a 2.90 ERA.

Twins-Indians

Cleveland’s Jake Westbrook has been a sensational fantasy baseball pitcher as of late, sporting a 1.50 ERA in his last 36 innings. World class handicapper Stevie Vincent, one of the OffshoreInsiders.com top experts, notes that Kason Gabbard has great splits numbers.  Texas has won all six of his home starts and his home ERA is 2.38 with a .912 WHIP.

Angels-Mariners

The Halos Jeff Weaver is what master sports handicapper Joe Duffy likes to call “predictably unpredictable”. He’s allowed one run or less in 20 starts, but six or more in seven trips to the hill.

Reds-Pirates

Cincinnati enters this double-header with the longest winning streak in MLB at eight games.

Mets-Phillies

Philadelphia southpaw Adam Eaton has been abysmal all year as his 6.36 ERA and 1.62 WHIP dictates.  Fresh off the DL, he takes on the first-place Mets in a relative “must win” for the Phillies. Surprisingly, Eaton has a 5-0 lifetime record to the Mets with a 1.89 ERA.

The Phillies are winless in 12 games as a home underdog in 2007.

Braves-Marlins

Florida is ice cold, losing 9-of-11. The Braves send future Hall-of-Famer John Smoltz to the hill off of consecutive wins in which he’s pitched 18 innings combined and given up just four runs. Smoltz is 13-6 career to the Marlins with a 2.70 ERA.

Florida is 1-15 for -16.8 units this year when their bullpen ERA is 3.00 or less in their previous 10 games.

Brewers-Cubs

Red hot Rich Hill totes the mound for Chicago.  Over his last two starts he’s given up three runs with a 17-3 walk-to-strikeout ratio. The Brew Crew are 4-16 -15.5 their last 20 to teams that average .9 or less homeruns per game.

Nationals-Dodgers

Washington’s Jason Bergmann makes his first start in more than a month.
