MLB Monday

2-0 last selection YTD 93-63 +42.83 units

Happy labor day fellas. Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. We all work hard for our money, but you know what's better? Winning it!

Florida Marlins at Washington Nationals.
This game will feature bad pitching and not much viewing interest, but Jason Bergmann 2-5 is a low man on Washington pitching staff getting -130 on opening money line. He is unlikely to factor into the result with one quality out of last 7 with Nats going 2-5 in those starts. Nats are 50% (3-3) on his home starts and there are memorable wins, but it's few and far in between.
Rick Vandenhurk 1-2 has no quality starts out of 5, but maybe the game samples are too small and coming off good outings in last 2 games should help his confidence. Marlins to out perform Nats in early game.

FLA +116 for 1 unit(L)

I have one more. Another game with little meaning...
Kansas City Royal at Texas Rangers.
Zack Greinke back in rotation with 2 games under his belt he looks good to go, 119 pitches 7 innings of work 6 hits no runs 1 walk and 7 strike outs, he is scheduled to go about 80 pitches and pen has been doing their job. Loe coming off a 5 inning no decision Texas win against White Sox and Rangers are playing very good baseball of late. Loe will be the key and his quality starts are low 9 out of 22 games 6 of those at home in 13 games but consider his recent form in 3 games with 16.2 innings of work 18 hits 11 runs only 4 earned 7 walks and 13 strike outs giving him 2.16 ERA. Loe is O/U 7-13-2 overall 3-9-1 at home. Texas boasts 4th best pen in the Majors. I look for a tight game here and hoping the weather holds. Head to head O/U 1-4-1 this season, all 3 games at Texas went Under and Under trends at Texas against KC for 3 seasons O/U 2-6-1

KCR/TEX UNDER 9.5 at +106 for 2 units(W)

1-1 +1.00 units
