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!
