4/11 – MLB – Two evening games added to Tuesday’s TTF baed plays

I've got recommended plays for both of Tuesday's afternoon MLB games.

1:10pm: Twins +128 LH Hector Santiago (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Tigers -142 LH Matthew Boyd (0-1, 19.29)

Santiago was solid in his first start for the 5-1 Twins.  Boyd was not sharp in his start vs. the White Sox.  Excellent value on Minnesota who rate a +1.673 on the TTF.  Solid one unit play.

4:10pm: White Sox +239 RH James Shields (1-0, 1.69 ERA) vs. Indians -270 RH Carlos Carrasco (1-0, 3.18)

It's Cleveland's home opener and after losing all three games at Arizona, one would figure they need some home cooking.  I'm sure the long odds on this one is primarily a fade of Shields, but he was solid in his first outing.  Worth a play on CWS with a +0.293 TTF rating.  One unit.

Updated 2:45pm - Two evening plays

7:10pm: Braves +128 RH Bartolo Colon (0-0, 1.50 ERA) vs. Marlins -142 RH Dan Straily (0-1, 13.50)

Miami should get LF Matt Kemp back for tonight's game.  Atlanta's Colon was impressive in his first start, the Braves only win thus far.  A favorable +0.628 TTF rating for MIA in this match up.  One unit play.

10:15pm: Diamondbacks +113 LHP Robbie Ray (0-0, 4.76 ERA) vs. Giants -124 RH Jeff Samardzija (0-1, 10.13) 

Giants C Buster Posey will likely miss tonight's game after being hit in the head in yesterday's game.  The high scoring D'backs managed just one run in yesterday's loss.  I like AZ to bounce back behind Ray this evening, and with a +0.908 TTF ratings, I recommend a 1 unit play.

Good luck, players!
