JP Sears over his last three home starts has given up nine total home runs. Look for Heliot Ramos to pick up where he left off in yesterday’s win over the Diamondbacks, where he recorded two hits. He also in seven at bats against Sears has a home run. Take Ramos total bases over tonight, and don’t mind a sprinkle at +250 on a home run.

Considering that he hasn't pitched too badly, Justin Verlander should probably have notched his first win of the season by now. It's just a matter of time, we suspect, especially if he performs as he did in his last start vs. the Chisox, spinning six innings of one-run ball last Sunday before getting betrayed by his bullpen in the later innings. He gets another chance tonight in Sacto as the Giants seem on the road to recovery, winning the last two of the midweek set at Phoenix after dropping seven of eight. Meanwhile, note that A's starter JP Sears had a 6.74 ERA in his four starts previous to 5 2/3 shutout innings vs. the Yankees last Saturday. Play Giants on Money Line
