Cincinnati Reds
I'm laying the price with the Reds on Saturday night with Volquez on the bump. Although Edinson Volquez pitched in the American League for a couple of seasons, he never faced the Boston Red Sox. On Saturday, he's catching the defending champs at the perfect time. The Bosox have been a terrible money-burner this season in road games against righthanders. In fact, they're 1-5 when those games are played under the sun, averaging just 2.8 runs per game. At the same time, the Reds are in one of their best spots of 2008. Cincinnati has smoked righthanders for 5.1 runs per game, sporting a 7-3 mark in daytime outings at Great American. Cinci is also a perfect 6-0 in home starts by Volquez, winning by an average score of 6.5-to-2! Boston will counter with Tim Wakefield. The Red Sox are just 2-6 in his road starts this season, including four straight losses, allowing at least six runs on four occasions. Finally, the Reds are a perfect 4-0 against the American League this season and they're 7-0 as a favorite, with Volquez on the bump...a combined 11-0 situation. Add it up and we have a great spot for one side...the Cincinnati Reds. The home team is my IL "Knockout" Game of the Year!

Texas Rangers at New York Mets
Prediction: Over
I'm playing the OVER between the Rangers and Mets with Gabbard and Martinez set to do battle. Both of these squads own strong offensive numbers in tonight's situation. The Rangers entered the weekend with a 13-5 mark in road night games against righties, scoring 6.5 runs per game, while the Mets are 7-2 in home night tilts against southpaws, scoring 5 runs per game. New York will catch struggling southpaw Kason Gabbard tonight. Gabbard has been smacked for 15 earned runs and 18 hits, to go along with 15 walks in his last three starts, spanning 12 innings of action! That adds up to a horrible, 11.25 ERA and 2.75 WHIP over his last three starts. Pedro Martinez is also looking for his quality "stuff" after getting knocked around a bit in his two outings since coming back from injury. The Mets have allowed 14 combined runs to anemic San Diego and San Francisco in those two starts, where Martinez owns a 5.73 ERA and 1.82 whip! Look for both lineups to have their way with tonight's starting pitchers, adding up to a play on the Over.
