Premium Picks
*Cincinnati/CHICAGO CUBS OVER 9 Runs (2:20 EST)

The Cincinnati Reds look for the sweep Wednesday after taking game one 9-4 and then whacking Cubbies 8-3 in the second on Tuesday. The OVER cashed in both contests we'll stay with the program as the Reds send Mr. Long-Ball Milton 5-12 6.75 to the mound while the Cubs counter with rookie Rich Hill 0-1 7.00 TM 1-2. Milton yielded two more Jacks last Friday in a 5-1 loss to the Marlins moving his mark to 33 dingers on the season. Milton has given up 15 of his 33 long-balls on the road, so the Cubbies are certain to put up their share of runs. Cincy is leading the NL in home runs (154), RBI (544) and they are second in runs (569) so they should have a field day against Hill who makes his fourth start of the season and comes in lasting but 1 1/3 innings, allowing 7 runs against Mets in his last. The Cubs are 8-2 OVER their last ten hosting Cincinnati and the Reds are 17-7 OVER in their last 24 games, 6-2 OVER in their last eight away and 7-2 OVER in Milton's last nine on the road. Milton is 3-0 OVER pitching in Chicago with Reds, Phillies and Twins. One star on the OVER here.

*ATLANTA -245 over San Francisco (7:05 EST)

When you've got a rookie batting .432, you've got some good karma. Jeff Francouer is doing just that for the Braves who powered to a 7-1 victory last night over San Francisco. No big surprise as the Giants are just 10-24 at Turner field. Guess the long trip doesn't do them well. The Braves pasted the Giants last night and look to keep it going tonight. John Smoltz get s the call and brings into this game a 2.70 home ERA. Kevin Corriea has been so-so for the G-Men this year at best. The big difference here though is offense. The Braves are one of the top offensive teams in the NL while the Giants are one of the worst. Atlanta is batting .290 and scoring 5.2 runs per game at home this season. Over thier past seven games, the Braves have put up 6.4 per contest. Meanwhile SF has scored just 3.1 in their last seven. Atlanta is also 21-2 (+18.4 Units) against the money line at home when the total is 8.5 to 10 this season. Braves are the pick here for one star.

Pass It On

How much to bet? I recommend 1% of your bankroll for every star. A one-star pick = 1% of bankroll. A five-star pick = 5% of bankroll. It is strongly recommended that you never bet more than 5% of your bankroll on any given game! Remember, there are no such thing as locks. Never bet over your head and you'll live to see another day. Approach your bets as an investment that grows steadily over the long-term. For more, see my write-up on Bankroll Management.
