(Starting Pitchers: J. Parker vs U. Jimenez)
Both teams should be super tough matchups for the opposing pitcher tonight. Jarrod Parker is having a very inconsistent season and he has a huge problem for tonight's game. He is allowing .411 BA, 7.04 FIP and 6.54 xFIP against LH batters this season and as usual, Cleveland's lineup for tonight's game is full of LH hitters:
1. Michael Brantley (L) LF
2. Jason Kipnis (L) 2B
3. Asdrubal Cabrera (S) SS
4. Nick Swisher (S) 1B
5. Mark Reynolds (R) 3B
6. Carlos Santana (S) C
7. Jason Giambi (L) DH
8. Ryan Raburn (R) RF
9. Drew Stubbs (R) CF
On the other side, Ubaldo Jimenez is coming from a good outing at Kansas City, but he keeps having control issues by walking too many batters with a 13.1% BB%. He will face the most patient team in the league, who is #1 in BB% with 11.5%. Therefore, it is likely that Oakland will put several baserunners in action tonight in almost every single inning. With both starting pitchers having clear matchup problems tonight, I expect this contest to be a high scoring one and so, I'll be taking the Over in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 959/960 Over 9 (w/ J. Parker & U. Jimenez) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
