We like this price on the Phillies first 5 innings moneyline. Make sure you place your wager in the 2 way market rather than the 3 way market which includes a tie. If this game is tied at the conclusion of the 5th inning, this ticket will be a push. Phillies starter Ranger Suarez looked very sharp in his last home start. He pitched 6.1 innings allowing just 2 hits, with 10 strikeouts against a Marlins team that hits left handed pitching very well. Ranger Suarez was one of the heroes for the Phillies in their late season surge and World Series run last season. We will see if he can get that same momentum going after a tough season. Mets starter David Peterson is 1-6 with a 7.35 ERA on the road this season. It is worth noting that the Mets bullpen has been one of the best in baseball over the last month. We are going to eliminate the later innings out of this game, and roll with the home team through the first 5 innings.

This is a big game for the Cubs tonight. They are hanging onto the final spot in the NL Wild Card race by just a half game over the Miami Marlins, and a full game over the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates are starting Johan Oviedo, who is 0-2 against the Cubs this season. Oviedo has walked 12 batters in his last 12.1 innings. He’s got a 1.47 WHIP on the road this season. On the Cubs side of this starting pitching matchup is veteran Kyle Hendricks. In two starts against the Pirates this season, Hendricks has a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Hendricks has gone back to back starts without giving up a home run. We like the edge for the Cubs in the starting pitching matchup, and their bullpen is better as well. The Cubs offense has a .750 OPS over the last 30 days which is top 10 in the MLB. Chicago’s offense has a .830 OPS over the last week (top 5 in MLB). The Pirates offense ranks below the league average over the last month, as well as the last week. Our wager is on the Cubs moneyline.
