Sports Marketplace – MLB Edition
Last week’s game can be described with one
word…ugly. The Red Sox and Yankees combined to score 13 total runs, only seven
of which were earned. Kevin Youkilis took full advantage of the extra outs,
going two for thee at the dish, including a homerun and three RBI’s, powering
the Red Sox, and Marketwatch, to a one-run victory.

Sports MarketWatch – MLB Games to Watch
Houston Astros +152 over Milwaukee Brewers
In tonight’s game, Houston heads to Milwaukee to kick-off a
three-game set between two NL Central bottom-dwellers. The Astros,
losers of two-straight, turn to Felipe Paulino (0-6, 5.36 ERA) as
they try to right the ship. Paulino pitched well in his last start,
giving up two earned runs in six innings of work against Colorado.
Randy Wolf (3-4, 5.10 ERA), who takes the ball tonight for
the Brewers, has had a rough month of May, posting a 7.66 ERA while giving up a
.326 average to opposing hitters.
Milwaukee opened as a -164 favorite at Pinnacle
and has been hammered by the public. Currently, 80% of moneyline bets have come
down on the home-favorite, yet the line has shrunk to -157. We look for
reverse-line movement as a sign sharp money is backing an underdog and
SportsInsights’ Betting Systems agree. Three positive moves have been triggered
on the Astros, most notably a Steam Move at Olympic (+11.7 units). With only
20% of moneyline wagers taking Houston, this game also qualifies as one of
today’s Square Plays, which are a solid +8.4 units on the season.
