2 picks for Thursday August 13th

Today's play is the San Diego Padres vs Milwaukee Brewers Over 9.5 (-125).Listed Pitchers are Cesar Carillo and Manny Parra. So far in this head to head series with all games having taken place in the last 2 weeks, San Diego has won 4 of the 5 games. In this 3rd game of the series in Milwaukee, San Diego has won the first two and both games went OVER the number with 19 and 11 runs respectively. Milwuakee will be coming hard today to try and get theirs and they send Manny Parra to the mound, who, despite having a 5.59 ERA in his last 3 and a 5.04 ERA since the All Star break is 4-0 in that time. He is simply getting great run support at an average of 8 runs a game and Milwaukee batters will look to do that for him again today and have a good chance of keeping up their big run support for Parra. They get to face Carillo, a kid who has 23 starts in the Minors this year with only an 8-6 record and a 4.26 ERA. Milwaukee should be able to get to this guy, and might have to as Parra's only start vs San Diego in his career, in Sept of last year, saw him give up 6 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in only 5 innings. It looks like both teams will get theirs today and with neither bullpen in great form, this game has a strong chance of going OVER 9.5.

Adding Boston Red Sox (+104)

Good Luck All!
