PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Burnett) +135 over St Louis Cardinals(Lynn)-----Cardinals are way out ahead of da game at 15-6.........Pirates' averages still low,  with McCutchen still under .200.  However,  as effective as Burnett has been,  I'd say the Pirates' offense owes him a win. (Lose 2-1.........2 hits allowed by Burnett and he had his team's only RBI.  Psshhh.  What a joke this Pirates offense is.  Bases loaded for Pirates in the 6th,  no outs:  Harrison gets behind 0-2 but fouls off a ton of pitches to get to 3-2,  then pops up swinging at a pitch over his head.   McCutchen takes to 3-2 while swinging and missing at 1 strike.  He's patient........and then he takes strike 3.   Then Walker strikes out.   That's #2,  #3 and #4 in their order and Harrison's pop-up was the only ball put in play with bases-loaded.   Absolutely the worst offense in baseball.   No more bets on Pirates,  but maybe Pirates-Under)

PHILLIES(Williams) +137 over Marlins(Koehler)----Obviously at 8-15,  the Phillies deserve to be the underdog here,  and something,  ah.........catalytic is probably going to have to happen to,  u know,  get the Phillies to start winning........because look at this offense:  Utley .114,  Howard .194,  Sizemore .147.  That's their 3, 4 and 5 hitters all under .200.   They do have Galvis at .355 but........they just have to hit a lot better overall.(Lose 4-3.........only 5 total hits by Phillies but they did have bases loaded 1-out in the 4th----Galvis K'd and Howard was caught stealing home on the Wild Pitch.   Bad luck;  Phillies aren't totally dead to me like the Pirates are;  Utley did have an HR.........Marcell Ozuna 4-4 w/GWRBI)

BALTIMORE(Tillman) -106 over Tampa Bay(Colome)------This game is listed as a home game for the Orioles but............I think it's in Tampa.   Tillman has been rocked twice this year but,  even at 10-10,  the Orioles have been,  hitting .286,  close to the best offense in baseball so far.(Lose 2-0......3 hits allowed by Colome in 5inn;  very strange that Orioles' offense gets shut out here.)
