Lohse is 10-2 with a 2.71 ERA this season and is just as good on the highway, posting a 5-1 record with a 2.81 ERA. Francis is a lefty with a 3-2 record and a 4.97 ERA this year and is 1-1, 5.12 at home. The Cards are 7-3 in their last 10 games and 19-11 this season versus southpaws. The Rockies are 2-8 in their last 10 games.

$10 on Oakland (Milone) over Tampa Bay (Shields) -1 1/2 @ +$185

Milone has been stellar at home, posting a 5-1 record with a 0.91 ERA. Shields has been the subject of trade rumors lately, which has hurt his focus. He has struggled in his last three outings, going 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA. The A's have won 13 of their last 15 games. LVH has the best line on this one.
