Doc's Sports has a full-time handicapper that lives and breathes baseball and his results have been outstanding since coming aboard. Doc's banked $4,700 in 2012, was good for $1,000 profit in 2013, and earned $13,000 in 2014. They banked $19,200 from 2012-2015 and you do not want to miss out on another killer summer. Our slow and steady approach focuses on small favorites and underdogs. You just won't find that kind of consistency in betting baseball anywhere else in the industry! Sign up today and get every selection from Opening Day in April to the World Series in October.
Robert Ferringo is coming off another winning year in 2018 (back-to-back winning seasons) and has been one of the top baseball handicappers in the country for nearly a decade. He is looking to prove it again this summer. Robert was the top MLB handicapper in the nation in 2015, banking an absolutely astounding $11,600 in MLB profit from June 22 through the end of the season. Robert is going to have another electrifying season and churned out nearly $20,000 on the diamond from June of 2012 to April of 2016. He also banked over $30,000 during a three-year stretch from 2007-2009. Robert has banked five of six winning MLB seasons and seven of 10 overall and he won't be happy unless he cracks $10,000 in profit this season.
Allen Eastman has been one of the most consistent baseball handicappers in the country and he dominated the books with his MLB service in 2017. Eastman nearly doubled his clients' bankrolls with +$9,030 in profit that season – by far the highest mark in the country. Eastman has posted eight of 10 winning MLB seasons and with over 37 years of betting experience he knows every trick in the books. In 2014 Eastman posted a $10,200 run between June 4 and Aug. 12, in 2016 he posted a +$11,200 run from May 6 to Nov. 3, and in 2017 he posted +$11,600 in profit from April 8 to Sept. 3. He is going to keep relying on his tried-and-true approach to get another winning sport and another winning season.
Indian Cowboy has posted back-to-back winning MLB seasons and has been good for four of five winning years on the diamond. Those last five seasons have resulted in +12,575 for his clients. He has been at his best in the postseason, posting four straight playoff runs and a profit in six of seven Octobers. IC went 15-5 for +3,000 in the playoffs last year and will get the job done again. He has also been on point with his top plays, going 52-29 with his last 81 7-Unit MLB Plays and going 107-58 with his last 165 picks rated 6.0 or higher. During one stretch in the second half of 2015 IC was on a 77-percent rush (59-27) that yielded over $12,500 in winnings. Sign up today and don't miss out.
Jason Sharpe had reeled off seven of nine winning baseball seasons and is one of the best in the business. Sharpe has posted three of four wire-to-wire winning seasons, meaning that he was in the black with profit every single day through the 2014-2016 seasons. Sharpe does his best work right out of the gate, banking April profits of $3,500 in both 2013 and 2014 and then chalking up another $3,000 in winnings in 2015. Most of Sharpe's success on the diamond last year came from his biggest plays as he won 68% of his picks rated 6.0+, good for +6,000 in profit.Don't miss out! Sign up today!
Strike Point Sports has raked in +$12,000 in profit over the last four MLB seasons, including an amazing +7,000 run last July alone. SPS banked nearly +9,000 through the first four months of the season last year and big runs have been the norm for this group. They finished with +$8,100 in profit in 2016 and in 2015 they picked up an astounding +$10,300 during a three-month midsummer run. That has been their M.O. over the past several seasons, exploding out of the gate with $5,300 the opening month of 2014, notching $3,600 in May of 2013 and raking $7,000 during a two-month stretch in 2012. We expect more of the same this year and when SPS gets rolling: watch out!
Tony George led the way at Doc's Sports last year with his MLB program. George posted profits of +$8185 for his players and won 61% of his plays overall. George uses a low volume approach and never lays over -150 on moneyline betting in MLB. Coming off an epic year, George is looking forward to picking up right where he left off in 2019. He has over 25 years of handicapping experience and has seen it and done it all as a professional bettor. Sign up and take advantage of his expertise today!
Raphael Esparza has posted six of eight winning MLB seasons and has posted a run of seven of 11 winning MLB seasons. That includes his outstanding 44-31, +$5,480 run to close 2016 and his dramatic 2015 (+$15,000) run. Esparza also has another season of over $10,000 in earnings (2009) and he has been particularly exceptional with his top plays, going 100-62 between 2013-2016 on picks rated 5.0 and higher. Esparza is a former sportsbook manager at Aria in Las Vegas and knows everything the books are trying to do to confuse bettors. Esparza has been steady and spectacular on the diamond and is looking forward to another big effort.
Mike Davis closed out the 2018 season on a 29-19 run for +4,200 in profit. Davis's first MLB season with Doc's Sports (2015) was a rousing success, as he posted over +4,000 in profit while earning an easy winning year. Davis posted an April profit of over $2,800 and was in the black for the rest of the year. He is looking to extend that through the entire seven-month MLB season in 2019. Davis has a steady and consistent approach when it comes to his MLB plays and he comes into the season with a lot of confidence. Jump aboard today!
Alan Harris is coming off a winning 2018 season on the diamond and his ultra-aggressive approach is perfect for people who love a lot of daily action on the diamond.

Vernon Croy is looking for a bounce back year after a down run on the diamond. But Croy will recapture that 2015 magic, when he rode a 19-3 run with his last 22 5-Unit Plays to a healthy $3,700 overall profit from July to November. Croy finished out the 2015 season on a 64 percent surge (29-16). Croy is an aggressive big play handicapper and he is looking forward to a seven-month season. Sign up and check him out today.
Scott Spreitzer is coming back strong in 2019 on the diamond and carries a 42-22 (66%) MLB run, producing $7,925 for his clients, into the 2019 season. Spreitzer crushed it over the final two months of the regular season and in the playoffs, and he's on a 50-26 winning run with his highest rated MLB plays (7-Unit) over the last three seasons, including a 62% winning mark on 29 top plays last year! Sign up and crush it on the diamond with Spreitzer in 2019!

7-Unit Play. Take #975 NY Yankees (-1.5, -105) over Chicago (AL) (7:10 p.m. Saturday, June 15)
The White Sox are going to win the season series against the Yankees for the first time since 2012 but I like the Yankees to win this contest. Reynaldo Lopez has been as up and down this season as a pitcher could be and he has allowed 9 home run over his last 6 starts. Additionally, he has allowed 20 earned runs over his last four starts spanning 19.1 innings and even though he has had success against the Yankees in the past I think the Bronx Bombers will do some damage in this one. New York is getting healthier as Didi Gregorius and Aaron Hicks have made their way back while Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are both on rehab assignments. Chad Green will serve as the opener/starter for the Yankees and New York is 4-0 in games he has thrown the first pitch for them. I think the Yankees end their three game losing streak with a win in this one.
Best of Luck - Doc's Sports
Robert Ferringo
7-Unit Play. Take #978 Oakland (-1.5, -120) over Seattle (9 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
Note: Play this game as ?Action? and not ?Listed Pitchers?.
We want to play this game as Action instead of Listed Pitchers because the last two times the Mariners have backed Wade LeBlanc they have gone with an ?opener? in front of him, throwing a reliever for one inning before bringing him in. And it has worked. He?s been really good his last two starts. However, I don?t expect it to last. He?s been bad for a long time and even with a couple good starts under his belt he still has a 5.31 ERA. The last time he faced the A?s he gave up four runs in five innings and two home runs in a 6-2 loss. I can see something similar here. Frankie Montas has shut down stuff. He has just a 2.84 ERA and he has posted six of seven quality starts. Seattle is just 6-20 in its last 26 road games and they are just 3-13 against a right-handed starter. The A?s have been beating up lefties, going 38-16 against southpaw starters, and they are 4-1 in Montas? last five home starts. I see a blowout here.

3-unit Play. #979. Take Texas Rangers +105 over Cincinnati. (Saturday @ 7:10 pm est)
We like the Rangers to make it two in a row tonight as Mike Minor takes the mound. The Rangers are 3-2 in their last five, splitting a four-game series with the Red Sox. With Minor on the mound, the Rangers have won their last two, though he took the no decision. Minor has one of the best ERA's in the American League at 2.52 going eight innings in his last start giving up just two runs on four hits. The Rangers are 6-5 this season against the NL Central and 21-12 on the Road this season. The Reds slide has continues losing five of their last seven and are currently eight games back in the NL Central. This is the Reds second series in a row against the American League after splitting a two-game series with Cleveland. At home, the struggling Reds are just 15-16 this season and with Tanner Roark on the mound coming off two straight losses and is 1-4 in his last five starts. The Reds are struggling to be consistent on offense this season and have shown over the last month aside from a few one offs, just are not putting enough runs on the board to keep pace with their opponents. With Minor on the mound for the Rangers against the Reds the like Texas to win again.
Raphael Esparza (VSI)
4 Unit Play. Take #963 Over 8 -105 Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Dodgers (9:15p.m., Saturday June 15)
Last night the Cubs again strike first against the Dodgers but the home team comes from behind and another meeting between these two teams goes ?Over?. The Dodgers are throwing out Walker Buehler tonight and his last two starts the Dodgers pitching staff gave up a total of 1 run. I don?t see that happening tonight as both offenses can score quickly and I see another meeting between these two teams going over. Cubs starter Darvish is pitching better as of late but if the wind is blowing out we could see a lopsided score tonight at Dodgers Stadium. Last 8 meeting between these two teams 7 of them have gone ?Over? and the Dodgers are 6-0 O/U against NL Central teams.

MLB June 15 - Listed Pitchers Only
4 Units - #979 Texas (+105) over Cincy *7:10 EST
Impressed with how Texas showed up in Cincinnati last night and laid it to the Reds 7-1. Today, Mike Minor (5-4, 2.52 ERA) goes for the Rangers and he's been remarkably consistent all year. Texas is 20-10 in their last 30 games and is averaging 6.2 RPG in their last eight. After a fast start, Tanner Roark (4-5, 3.74 ERA) is back to being the same pitcher he's always been, losing four of five and he's 2-11 in home games playing against a team with a winning record the last three seasons. (Team's Record) Texas does the two-step and handles the Reds.
3 Units - #974 Minnesota RUNLINE -1.5 (-135) over Kansas City *7:10 EST
Since April 17, Minnesota's Jake Odorizzi is 9-0 with a 1.07 ERA over 59 innings with 63 strikeouts and 13 walks. Though Odorizzi does not have a great history against Kansas City, that was against far better Royals' teams and he's pitching for an offensive juggernaut. I don't have to tell you how good the Twins are or how bad K.C. but this is something that you didn't know that applies for this game. AL road underdogs like the Royals going against a 1.5 run line (with ML of +100 or higher), hitting team .260 or lower, against an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.20 or lower, with a starting pitcher whose lasts less than five innings per start, are 10-45 vs. the RL the last 22 years.
Vernon Croy
4-Unit Play. Take #971 Minnesota -1.5 -140 over Kansas City (Saturday, June 15 at 7:00 PM ET)
KC: G. Sparkman (1-2, 3.58 ERA)
Min: J. Odorizzi (9-2, 1.92 ERA)
Note: Are you ready for some football?! Take advantage of my CFL package now as I was the #1 CFL expert last season making my clients +$6,200 in profits while cashing 71% of my plays overall. As for your MLB pick here take the Minnesota Twins on the run line as my 4-Unit MLB Smash for Saturday night. This pick falls into one my top MLB systems and Minnesota has the superior pitcher on the mound here tonight. I believe last night was Kansas City's only opportunity in this series which is why we took them on the run line and they ended up losing that game in the 8th inning. Minnesota had plenty of chances in that game to bust it open so Kansas City was very lucky that the score was only 0-2. Odorizzi has pitched solid this season and he has an ERA of 0.40 over his last 4 starts with opponents hitting just .160 against him. Odorizzi has an ERA of just 1.21 over a 6 starts at home this season with opponents hitting just .171 against him and Kansas City is just 15-50 in their last 65 road games when facing a righty starter. Minnesota is 12-2 in Odorizzi's last 14 starts at home and they are now 7-1 in their last 8 home games against Kansas City. Play Minnesota run line as we move to 7-3 the last 10 days on the bases.
Scott Spreitzer
5-Unit Play: Take 958 Mets -145 over Cardinals (7:10 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
I?m backing the Mets with Noah Syndergaard over Michael Wacha. The Mets have dropped the first 2 games of the series, but I expect a bounce back here. Toss out 1 bad start in his last 8 games started, an outlier, if you will, and Syndergaard has pitched quite well. The Mets? hurler allowed just 14 earned runs and 46 base runners in his other 7 starts, spanning 49.2 IP. Syndergaard has a 1.04 WHIP in 46 IP at home this season with 48 strikeouts and just 12 walks. He eats innings, which is something we like quite a bit too. He?s pitched well against the Cards with a 1.21 WHIP in 5 starts and owns 18 Ks and just 3 BBs in his last 2 starts against them, spanning 12 IP. The Cards have struggled on the road against top-notch home teams this season and I expect more of the same. Michael Wacha has allowed 21 earned runs and 38 base runners in his last 29.2 IP, along with 17 walks and 7 HRs. He has a hefty 1.59 WHIP on the road, while walking over 5.5 batters per 9 IP. We have a big pitching advantage with the home team in this one and I?m betting it?ll translate to a victory on the diamond. I?m backing the NY Mets on Saturday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
Alan Harris
4 Unit Play. Take #959 Philadelphia Phillies -115 over Atlanta Braves (7:20 PM, Saturday, June 15)
The Phillies have posted a perfect 4-0 record in their last four games following a game where they allowed five runs or more and they have gone an excellent 5-1 in their last six Game #2?s of a series. They have also won five of their last seven games where they faced an NL East Division rival and they are an impressive 25-8 in their last 33 versus a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. The Braves, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-4 in Newcomb?s last five starts where he went on normal rest and they are an awful 5-11 in his last sixteen starts at home where he faced a team with a winning record. Throw in the fact that the Braves have also lost each of his last four starts when he pitched Game #2 of a series along with the fact that the Phillies are 5-1 in the last six head to head meetings between the two teams and we?re going to take Philly at the pickem or so price to get the road win in Atlanta on Saturday night.
Mike Davis
3-Unit Play. Take #959 Philadelphia (-105) over Atlanta (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
I think that the Phillies will earn a win here on Saturday night. The Braves are putting Sean Newcomb back into the starting rotation after he's been in the bullpen the past two months. I think that Newcomb is going to struggle in his first start since April 13. Aaron Nola is going for Philadelphia and I think that he is due for a strong start. He shut down the Braves the first time he faced the Braves this year, giving up just 2 hits and 1 run in 6 innings on Opening Day at ome against the Braves. The Phillies are 6-2 in Nola's last eight starts and I like them to get the win here.
Best of luck -- Mike
Allen Eastman
3-Unit Play. Take #979 Texas (+110) over Cincinnati (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
Texas easily won the first game of this series and I think that they will be able to do it again here today. The Reds are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and they are just 29-62 in their last 91 interleague games. Texas is 5-2 in its last seven road games and they are going with Mike Minor tonight. He has just a 2.52 ERA on the season and has been very consistent for this team. Cincinnati is starting Tanner Roark and he is not consistent at all. That has been his problem dating back to his time with Washington. Roark has lost four of five starts and has given up eight runs and three home runs in his last two starts over 11 innings. Texas has seven more wins than the Reds on the season and are the better team. I like them to get another win here in the underdog role.
4-Unit Play. Take #974 Minnesota (-1.5, -130) over Kansas City (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
It was another win for the Twins last night. That is now four of five and six of eight. The Twins are now 37-15 in their last 52 games and they are 52-22 in their last 74 home games. The Twins are going with ace Jake Odorizzi in this one. They are 10-3 in his 13 starts this year and 13-3 in his last 16 starts overall. Minnesota is 12-2 in his last 14 home starts and I think he will be very good again today. The Twins are 7-1 in their last eight home games against the Royals. Kansas City is just 20-47 in its last 67 games and 15-43 in their last 58 road games. Go with the Twins here.
Allen Eastman
Strike Point Sports
3-Unit Play. Take #975 New York (AL) (-145) over Chicago (AL) (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
The Yanks have been floundering a bit and after last nights loss they are ready to bounce back. They have lost three in a row and have not been doing the things that put them on top of the AL East. Their starters and pen have let them down numerous times this week and they tossing Chad Green to the wolves this evening so they will need a top notch performance from their offense today. This has a NY win written all over it.
Best of luck - Strike Point Sports
Jason Sharpe
Saturday June 15th 2019-
4 Unit Play Take #960 Atlanta +100 over Philadelphia (7:20pm est):
The Atlanta Braves go with Sean Newcomb as the starter in this contest. Newcomb struggled in his first three starts this season and because of that he was sent down to the minors in mid-April to work on some things. He was called back up to the majors three weeks later and since his return he's been outstanding posting a 1.42 ERA to go along with 21 strikeouts and just 2 walks during this recent stretch. Newcomb has been pitching out of the Braves bullpen since being called back up and because of his recent improvement he's going back to their starting rotation today. The Braves are playing some good baseball right now having won 23 of their last 32 games overall including seven straight at home coming into tonight's game.
Take Atlanta.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

Take #975 NY Yankees (-1.5, -105) over Chicago (AL) (7:10 p.m. Saturday, June 15)The White Sox are going to win the season series against the Yankees for the first time since 2012 but I like the Yankees to win this contest. Reynaldo Lopez has been as up and down this season as a pitcher could be and he has allowed 9 home run over his last 6 starts. Additionally, he has allowed 20 earned runs over his last four starts spanning 19.1 innings and even though he has had success against the Yankees in the past I think the Bronx Bombers will do some damage in this one. New York is getting healthier as Didi Gregorius and Aaron Hicks have made their way back while Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are both on rehab assignments. Chad Green will serve as the opener/starter for the Yankees and New York is 4-0 in games he has thrown the first pitch for them. I think the Yankees end their three game losing streak with a win in this one.

Texas is 20-10 in their last 30 games and is averaging 6.2 RPG in their last eight. After a fast start, Tanner Roark (4-5, 3.74 ERA) is back to being the same pitcher he's always been, losing four of five and he's 2-11 in home games playing against a team with a winning record the last three seasons. (Team's Record) Texas does the two-step and handles the Reds.
3 Units - #974 Minnesota RUNLINE -1.5 (-135) over Kansas City *7:10 EST
Since April 17, Minnesota's Jake Odorizzi is 9-0 with a 1.07 ERA over 59 innings with 63 strikeouts and 13 walks. Though Odorizzi does not have a great history against Kansas City, that was against far better Royals' teams and he's pitching for an offensive juggernaut. I don't have to tell you how good the Twins are or how bad K.C. but this is something that you didn't know that applies for this game. AL road underdogs like the Royals going against a 1.5 run line (with ML of +100 or higher), hitting team .260 or lower, against an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.20 or lower, with a starting pitcher whose lasts less than five innings per start, are 10-45 vs. the RL the last 22 years.

4-Unit Play. Take #971 Minnesota -1.5 -140 over Kansas City (Saturday, June 15 at 7:00 PM ET)KC: G. Sparkman (1-2, 3.58 ERA)
Min: J. Odorizzi (9-2, 1.92 ERA)
Note: Are you ready for some football?! Take advantage of my CFL package now as I was the #1 CFL expert last season making my clients +$6,200 in profits while cashing 71% of my plays overall. As for your MLB pick here take the Minnesota Twins on the run line as my 4-Unit MLB Smash for Saturday night. This pick falls into one my top MLB systems and Minnesota has the superior pitcher on the mound here tonight. I believe last night was Kansas City's only opportunity in this series which is why we took them on the run line and they ended up losing that game in the 8th inning. Minnesota had plenty of chances in that game to bust it open so Kansas City was very lucky that the score was only 0-2. Odorizzi has pitched solid this season and he has an ERA of 0.40 over his last 4 starts with opponents hitting just .160 against him. Odorizzi has an ERA of just 1.21 over a 6 starts at home this season with opponents hitting just .171 against him and Kansas City is just 15-50 in their last 65 road games when facing a righty starter. Minnesota is 12-2 in Odorizzi's last 14 starts at home and they are now 7-1 in their last 8 home games against Kansas City. Play Minnesota run line as we move to 7-3 the last 10 days on the bases.

5-Unit Play: Take 958 Mets -145 over Cardinals (7:10 p.m., Saturday, June 15)I?m backing the Mets with Noah Syndergaard over Michael Wacha. The Mets have dropped the first 2 games of the series, but I expect a bounce back here. Toss out 1 bad start in his last 8 games started, an outlier, if you will, and Syndergaard has pitched quite well. The Mets? hurler allowed just 14 earned runs and 46 base runners in his other 7 starts, spanning 49.2 IP. Syndergaard has a 1.04 WHIP in 46 IP at home this season with 48 strikeouts and just 12 walks. He eats innings, which is something we like quite a bit too. He?s pitched well against the Cards with a 1.21 WHIP in 5 starts and owns 18 Ks and just 3 BBs in his last 2 starts against them, spanning 12 IP. The Cards have struggled on the road against top-notch home teams this season and I expect more of the same. Michael Wacha has allowed 21 earned runs and 38 base runners in his last 29.2 IP, along with 17 walks and 7 HRs. He has a hefty 1.59 WHIP on the road, while walking over 5.5 batters per 9 IP. We have a big pitching advantage with the home team in this one and I?m betting it?ll translate to a victory on the diamond. I?m backing the NY Mets on Saturday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4 Unit Play. Take #959 Philadelphia Phillies -115 over Atlanta Braves (7:20 PM, Saturday, June 15)The Phillies have posted a perfect 4-0 record in their last four games following a game where they allowed five runs or more and they have gone an excellent 5-1 in their last six Game #2?s of a series. They have also won five of their last seven games where they faced an NL East Division rival and they are an impressive 25-8 in their last 33 versus a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. The Braves, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-4 in Newcomb?s last five starts where he went on normal rest and they are an awful 5-11 in his last sixteen starts at home where he faced a team with a winning record. Throw in the fact that the Braves have also lost each of his last four starts when he pitched Game #2 of a series along with the fact that the Phillies are 5-1 in the last six head to head meetings between the two teams and we?re going to take Philly at the pickem or so price to get the road win in Atlanta on Saturday night.

3-Unit Play. Take #959 Philadelphia (-105) over Atlanta (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)I think that the Phillies will earn a win here on Saturday night. The Braves are putting Sean Newcomb back into the starting rotation after he's been in the bullpen the past two months. I think that Newcomb is going to struggle in his first start since April 13. Aaron Nola is going for Philadelphia and I think that he is due for a strong start. He shut down the Braves the first time he faced the Braves this year, giving up just 2 hits and 1 run in 6 innings on Opening Day at ome against the Braves. The Phillies are 6-2 in Nola's last eight starts and I like them to get the win here.
Best of luck -- Mike

3-Unit Play. Take #979 Texas (+110) over Cincinnati (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)Texas easily won the first game of this series and I think that they will be able to do it again here today. The Reds are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and they are just 29-62 in their last 91 interleague games. Texas is 5-2 in its last seven road games and they are going with Mike Minor tonight. He has just a 2.52 ERA on the season and has been very consistent for this team. Cincinnati is starting Tanner Roark and he is not consistent at all. That has been his problem dating back to his time with Washington. Roark has lost four of five starts and has given up eight runs and three home runs in his last two starts over 11 innings. Texas has seven more wins than the Reds on the season and are the better team. I like them to get another win here in the underdog role.
4-Unit Play. Take #974 Minnesota (-1.5, -130) over Kansas City (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)
It was another win for the Twins last night. That is now four of five and six of eight. The Twins are now 37-15 in their last 52 games and they are 52-22 in their last 74 home games. The Twins are going with ace Jake Odorizzi in this one. They are 10-3 in his 13 starts this year and 13-3 in his last 16 starts overall. Minnesota is 12-2 in his last 14 home starts and I think he will be very good again today. The Twins are 7-1 in their last eight home games against the Royals. Kansas City is just 20-47 in its last 67 games and 15-43 in their last 58 road games. Go with the Twins here.

3-Unit Play. Take #975 New York (AL) (-145) over Chicago (AL) (7 p.m., Saturday, June 15)The Yanks have been floundering a bit and after last nights loss they are ready to bounce back. They have lost three in a row and have not been doing the things that put them on top of the AL East. Their starters and pen have let them down numerous times this week and they tossing Chad Green to the wolves this evening so they will need a top notch performance from their offense today. This has a NY win written all over it.
Best of luck - Strike Point Sports

Saturday June 15th 2019-4 Unit Play Take #960 Atlanta +100 over Philadelphia (7:20pm est):
The Atlanta Braves go with Sean Newcomb as the starter in this contest. Newcomb struggled in his first three starts this season and because of that he was sent down to the minors in mid-April to work on some things. He was called back up to the majors three weeks later and since his return he's been outstanding posting a 1.42 ERA to go along with 21 strikeouts and just 2 walks during this recent stretch. Newcomb has been pitching out of the Braves bullpen since being called back up and because of his recent improvement he's going back to their starting rotation today. The Braves are playing some good baseball right now having won 23 of their last 32 games overall including seven straight at home coming into tonight's game.
Take Atlanta.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe
