I've got three plays this afternoon in MLB action.
12:35pm: Phillies +103 RH Clay Buchholz (2016: 8-10, 4.78 ERA) vs. Reds -113 RH Rookie Davis (N/A)
Davis is indeed a rookie, making his MLB debut. Good spot to take the Phillies (+.058 TTF) for a unit in this series rubber match.
1:40pm: Rockies +107 RH Antonio Senzatela (MLB debut) vs. Brewers -117 RH Chase Anderson (2016: 9-11, 4.39 ERA)
If the Rockies can keep Travis Shaw in check, then I see a good chance of them taking 3 of 4 in this opening series. A favorable +0.185 TTF match up rating is good reason to take them for a unit.
1:45pm: Cubs -128 RH John Lackey (2016: 11-8, 3.35 ERA) vs. Cardinals +116 RH Lance Lynn (2015: 12-11, 3.03)
A bit of a risk backing Lynn, who missed all of 2016 following Tommy John surgery, but he had a nice spring and the Cards rate +0.38 on the TTF. St. Louis good for a unit.
Updated 3:00pm ET - Evening plays below:
7:10pm: Braves +137 LH Jaime Garcia (2016: 10-13, 4.67 ERA) vs. Mets -152 RH Matt Harvey (2016: 4-10, 4.86)
Matt Kemp has been carrying what little offense Atlanta has so far. Harvey returns to start for the first time in 10 months. Teams have split the first two games. I like ATL +137 (+.008 TTF) for 1 unit.
9:40pm: Giants -105 RH Jeff Samardzija (2016: 12-11, 3.81 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks -105 LH Robbie Ray (2016: 8-15, 4.90)
San Francisco looks to salvage a series split tonight. Eduardo Nunez is 7-13 in the first 3 games. With a +0.54 TTF match up rating, I like SF to get their 2nd win tonight. One unit.
Good luck, players!
