We were 3-2 Sunday risking 19 units and posting a net profit of 4.1 units for an ROI of 17.8%. We had a 2 unit play on the Cubs as a +151 point underdog and they cashed in. We have 2 plays today.

1) Cleveland Indians vs Kansas City Royals

Pick: Cleveland (3 units)

We were able to play the Indians as a +101 underdog late last night but at this point they are considered to be the favorite on most books. Either way, we are very confident in Cleveland coming up with the win tonight. Although the Indians are out of the playoff hunt, they have been playing well since late July winning 18 of their last 30 contests and winning 4 of their last 5 series on the road. The impressive part of this statistic is that each of their last 5 road series were against teams with winning home records. Jeremy Sowers (4-9, 4.82) will square off against Gil Meche (4-9, 4.73). Meche has struggled as of late with an ERA of 9.22 in his last 3. K.C. is 1-7 in his last 8 home starts and 6-24 in their last 30 home games. The Indians are clearly the better team and should win at least 2 out of 3 in this series, getting their first win tonight.

Lay 3 units on the Indians.

2) Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals

Pick: OVER 8.5 (3 units)

This match will without a doubt be a high scoring affair. We were able to get the total at 8.5 late last night but it is currently at 9 at most books. Either way, we doubt that the ½ point will make a difference. Milwaukee sends Yovani Gallardo (11-10, 3.56) to the mound. Gallardo has struggled on the road as of late with an ERA of 5.74 in his past 5 road starts. He will face Colin Balester (1-3, 6.75). The 23 year old rookie has struggled immensely as of late with an ERA of 10.97 in his last 3 contests. OVER is 8-0-1 in the last 9 meetings.

Lay 3 units on the OVER.
