MLB Picks, June 18th (Updated)

There are three games that I like on today's MLB schedule.

$16 @ -160 on Toronto (Rogers) over Colorado (Francis)

Rogers is 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in his last 3 outings. Francis is 2-4 with a 5.87 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP this season. The Jays have won 6 straight and the Rockies have dropped 4 of their last 6.

$10 on St. Louis (Wainwright) over Cubs (Samardzija) -1 1/2 @ +115

Wainwright is 10-3 with a 2.18 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP this season. He's been even better in his last 3 starts, posting a 3-0 record and a 1.17 ERA. Samardzija is 0-1 with a 5.89 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Cubs have lost 5 of their last 8 games. The Cardinals have won 5 of 8.

$16.50 on Detroit (Verlander) over Baltimore (Britton) -1 1/2 @ -110

Verlander is 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Lefty Britton lost his only start, surrenduring 6 runs in 6 innings to Seattle. The Tigers score 1/2 a run more per game against leftys than they do right handed pitchers. Both teams are hot, with Detroit winning 7 of 10 and the Orioles 6 of 9.

Starting Bankroll                          $1,500.00
Profit/Loss                                       $67.50
Current Bankroll                          $1,567.50

Action is considered dead unless both listed pitchers start.
