MLB Odds: Sanchez Starts for Jays in Colorado - Handicappers Hideaway

The Toronto Blue Jays have lost six of their last eight games, and
they'll send arguably their best starter to the mound Wednesday
afternoon (3:10 PM ET, SNET) against the Colorado Rockies. Aaron Sanchez
gets the nod for the Blue Jays against rookie southpaw Tyler Anderson,
who's making his fourth career start in the big leagues.



Oddsmakers have the Blue Jays as a -130 moneyline favorite and the total is sitting at 12.5.

Sanchez (3.46 FIP) has outperformed his teammates this year, but Toronto
(41-37, –5.22 betting units) is only up 0.90 units in his 15 starts on a
team record of 9-6. Four of those losses were quality starts by
Sanchez, including his last appearance, Friday's 2-3 defeat at the hands
of the Chicago White Sox (+148 at home).



The Rockies (37-39, 0.84 units) took Anderson in the first round of the
2011 MLB Draft, out of the University of Oregon; he missed the 2015
season with a stress fracture in his elbow, delaying his big-league
debut until earlier this month. Colorado has lost two of Anderson's
three starts, but the Las Vegas native has allowed just five earned runs
over 17.2 innings, posting a tiny 1.62 FIP with zero home runs. Tuesday
will be his first game against an American League opponent.

The Rockies Chad Bettis hopes to change his luck against the Padres tonight - Handicappers Hideaway

Bettis allowed 13 earned runs over his previous two starts, 4 2/3
innings against the Red Sox and 3 2/3 innings vs. the Reds, and has
posted an ERA above 5.00 both in Coors Field and away from it this
season. However in the four games he's thrown at Petco Park in his
career, Bettis has a 2.53 ERA and a 2.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He is
hoping that facing the Padres will alleviate some of the struggles he's
experienced on the mound lately. Rockies second baseman D.J. LeMahieu
has hit .358 (5-for-13) throughout his career against Cashner, with two
walks and just one strikeout.



Last-place San Diego (22-34) continued its dominance of Colorado (24-30)
with Friday's series-opening 4-0 win, the club's fifth in seven games
against the Rockies this season. However, it was still just the Padres'
fifth win in their last 18 games. The Rockies have lost three straight
and 12 of 16.



Andrew Cashner has logged back-to-back quality starts after returning
from a two-week stint on the disabled list. Cashner (2-5, 4.79), who
missed time with a strained right hamstring, still took the loss in
each, giving him three straight defeats after his return. Cashner held
the Rockies to five hits and three runs in six innings of a 6-3 win on
May 3, though he has a 4.83 ERA in seven career starts against them.



Carlos Gonzalez entered this series on a power surge, hitting six home
runs in eight games, good for a 1.063 slugging percentage. Jon Jay
enters this game red-hot, hitting .413 (19-for-46) in his 10 previous
games, but with a right-hander on the mound Colorado might have the
edge.



Wager506 has the o/u 8 -110 on the full game and Rockies -105 on the first 5 innings Money Line.

MLB Odds: First in the Majors, Giants Eye Third Title in Five Years

The San Francisco Giants are the hottest team in baseball, which is
fitting since a recent trend suggests that they’re due for another
championship. After winning the World Series in both 2010 and 2012, the
Giants are 6/1 to win the 2014 World Series. There’s just something
about those even numbers.


Bet on baseball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.


This weekend the Giants will look to pad their NL West lead against a
Colorado Rockies team that has come back down to Earth since starting
the season on a roll.


We can credit San Francisco’s well-rounded offensive brigade with the
impressive resurgence. In addition to club stars like Hunter Pence,
Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey playing at the elite level that fans
expect of them, the Giants have also benefited from spectacular
performances from Angel Pagan (batting .313 with 11 stolen bases) and
Michael Morse (13 home runs, 42 RBIs).


Even if the Giants don’t win the World Series outright, they still
have 13/4 MLB odds of winning the National League, something that their
established rotation can certainly manage. While Tim Lincecum and Matt
Cain aren’t quite the hurlers they used to be during San Francisco’s
previous title runs, Madison Bumgarner’s continued development and the
acquisition of Tim Hudson have made this team a threat game in and game
out.
