Tim Welke (12-3-2) – You have to go back to June 8th to find the last time that Welke umpped an ‘under’ game, and deep into last season for the last time that he called two straight ‘unders.’ In spite of the fact that Welke has a 1-0 game to his credit this year between the Florida Marlins and the Philadelphia Phillies, he is still averaging 11.5 runs every time he steps behind the dish. Over his L/3, Welke has seen at least 12 runs hit the board all three times, and each game flew past the number by at least four runs.

Angel Hernandez (11-4-2) – Hernandez made it almost two full months before he finally called an ‘under’ game, and it took a fantastic showing by Seattle Mariners RHP Felix Hernandez to accomplish that much. King Felix is probably tired of seeing Hernandez calling balls and strikes for him, as this has already happened three times this year, all of which have come on the road. If you throw out those three starts though, Hernandez is 10-2-2 for the ‘over.’

Mark Wegner (10-4-1) – Wegner has been posting ‘over’ games lately, but they have happened to be games that have just flown past the number. If you’re looking to bank on an ‘over’, this may not be the best option. Wegner has only averaged 7.0 runs per game in his L/6 overall and has had a relatively high strike ratio all season long (61.8%). He has topped 60 percent in six straight starts and has averaged almost five more strikeouts per game than walks.

Sam Holbrook (8-4-1) – Four of Holbrook’s L/6 games have reached double digits in runs, which is a great sign for ‘over’ bettors. Consider the fact that two of his ‘unders’ have been 1-0 games as well. All of a sudden, the average of 9.4 runs per game doesn’t seem like such a low number for an ump that has been a consistent ‘over’ machine all season long. It’s amazing that Holbrook called nearly 70 percent of his pitches for strikes in the Cleveland/Philly game two weeks ago, his most appearance behind the plate, yet there were 15 runs scored.

Mike Reilly (11-6-1) – Since starting off the season with five straight ‘over’ clashes, Reilly really has tapered off into obscurity for ‘total’ bettors, as he has been split right down the line with six ‘overs’, six ‘unders’, and a push. It seems like the better the pitching matchup, the more likely the game goes ‘over’ though with Reilly as the head man in blue. He has watched RHP Roy Oswalt, RHP Chris Carpenter, RHP Edwin Jackson, and several other excellent arms end up with ‘over’ clashes.

Jim Wolf (3-11) – Since we last addressed the ‘under’ umpires, Wolf has been a disaster for us! He called a pair of very high scoring games before taking a break, and we say good riddance if that’s the way that he is going to call games for the rest of the season! Still, with an average run production of 6.3 runs per game and averaging over three times the number of strikeouts per game (16.2) as walks per game (5.3), there’s no reason not to continue staying ‘under’ with Wolf behind the plate.

Bob Davidson (4-11-1) – Much like Wolf, the ‘overs’ have suddenly started coming in with Davidson calling balls and strikes, and it is starting to worry us just a tad. The 20 run game that he called between the Detroit Tigers RHP Justin Verlander and New York Mets RHP Jonathon Niese was a bit of an anomaly, we think. It isn’t every day that Davidson only calls 58.6 percent of his pitches as strikes and issues a dozen free passes. He has only called four games all year that have reached double digits in scoring, but two of those have come in his L/2 starts.

Mike Estabrook (4-11-1) – Estabrook’s strike zone has been wide open for pitchers all season long, especially lately. He has punched out 14 or more batters in six straight starts, and even though ‘total’ bettors have only yielded a 3-2-1 record in those six outings, the handwriting is certainly on the wall that more low scoring affairs could be in the cards. Estabrook has also called at least 60 percent strikes in six straight affairs and seven out of eight as well.

Mike Dimuro (4-10-2) – The ‘under’ train continues to roll with Dimuro behind the plate. He has now cashed in ‘under’ tickets in seven of his L/8 graded MLB wagering affairs (with two pushes thrown in the mix as well). Dimuro called the consummate ‘under’ game last week when Boston Red Sox LHP Jon Lester met San Francisco Giants RHP Tim Lincecum, as he called 24 men out on strikes and called 65.6 percent of his pitches as strikes. Only five free passes were issued. The over/under might have been just 6.5 in that game, but stats like that resulted in a comfortable ‘under’.

Greg Gibson (4-10-3) – Gibson makes his first appearance on the ‘under’ list for umpires all season long thanks to the fact that he has nailed down back-to-back low scorers in his L/2 times behind the dish. Issuing 7.6 runs per game doesn’t normally feel like the recipe for this fantastic of an ‘under’ record, but Gibson has only called one ‘over’ game since May 11th.

Angel Campos (9-2-1) – You have to go back to May 18th to find the last time that Campos called a game in which he saw less than ten runs hit the board. In fact, that May 13th duel between New York Mets LHP Johan Santana and RHP Josh Johnson was the only non-ten run game that Campos has seen since his very first game of the season. Lately, the strike percentage for this ump has been a tad low, as three of Campos’ L/4 have seen strike percentages under 59.0 percent.

Angel Hernandez (10-3-1) – May 3rd was the last time that Hernandez had an ‘under’ game when he was behind the plate. Since that point, his average runs per game production has been a stunning 12.1 runs per game, and there hasn’t been an ‘under’ in sight. An 18 run duel between Atlanta Braves RHP Tommy Hanson and Arizona Diamondbacks RHP Dontrelle Willis was his most recent MLB betting affair. It was the fourth time this season that Hernandez called a game in which at least a dozen runs were scored.

Tim Welke (9-3-2) – Welke’s most recent three run game between LHP Clayton Richard of the San Diego Padres and RHP Mike Pelfrey of the New York Mets has to be a little concerning for MLB betting fans that love betting the ‘over’ in his games. After all, only one batter was issued a free pass, while 20 were rung up. A whopping 72.3 percent of pitches were called strikes that day. With ten straight games under his belt with at least a 60.0 percent strike ratio, Welke may be in line for a lot more ‘unders’ than ‘overs’.

Phil Cuzzi (7-3-1) – After a three-game run of ‘unders’ in the middle of April, Cuzzi has been all about the ‘overs’ of late. He hasn’t umpped an ‘under’ affair since April 25th, knocking out six straight victories for ‘over’ bettors. In all of those games, at least ten runs were scored, with the only outing under a dozen came in his most recent start on May 28th. When Cuzzi gets back behind the dish, watch out for plenty of ‘overs’.

Mark Wegner (8-4-1) – It’s hard to fault anyone that is calling an ‘under’ game when RHP Ubaldo Jimenez is one of the men hurling pitches to the plate. Relatively speaking, Wegner’s 64.9 percent strike ratio was low for a Jimenez start, which should encourage ‘over’ bettors in spite of that defeat that they suffered on that day. In his L/3 outings (one of which included Jimenez, mind you), Wegner has only rung up an average of 11.0 men per game. Two of those three went ‘under’ the number in spite of the low strikeout totals. The ‘over’ train should start to roll again soon.
