DENVER NUGGETS -5 over Portland Trail Blazers
(Win 124-98..........Good)
TEXAS RANGERS(Sampson) +122 over Pittsburgh Pirates(Brault)-----------Pirates are favored with Brault??? I cannot believe this. Brault is a weak lhp----he's always been wild, he's always sucked. The Rangers' offense has towered over the Pirates'. Is Sampson bad? Just doesn't make sense.
(Lose 5-4..........Logan Forsyth 4 LOB, Rougned Odor 3 LOB.........Kiner-Falefa 3 LOB..........well, Sampson got rocked; Brault allowed 2 hits in 4 innings. Texas really disappointed.)
WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Strasburg) +105 over Milwaukee Brewers(Houser)
(Lose 6-0)
WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Strasburg) -1.5(+160) over Milwaukee Brewers(Houser)----No difference between how these offenses have done this year, Brewers are at home..........but this is a massive starting pitcher advantage for Nationals. This guy Houser? Come on, you know? This guy is........well, whatever. I know the Nationals just lost for me yesterday but...........this is too good a chance to miss.
(Lose 6-0...........Nationals really suck. Houser only went 2 innings but to get SHUTOUT????)
ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Clarke) +158 over Tampa Bay Rays(Stanek)------I'll bet Clarke can't be as bad and horrible as Merrill Kelly. Stanek is a 1-inning starter. AZ's offense has been fairly good----not yesterday of course.
(Lose 6-3.........Arizona doesn't win for me. ???)
