New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays
PICK: Toronto Blue Jays 4*

We have been letting the trickle down effect work in the marketplace on this one, with the Yankees drawing the usual money in an underdog role to get the price into the low 120's. Now it is time to step in once again vs. the most over-rated team in the game, and a most vulnerable starter.

While the injuries to the pitching staff have generated much of the tabloid fodder for a disappointing Yankee season, the bottom line is that without Jorge Posada and Hideki Matsui, the offense has been strictly middle of the pack in the American League, where they rate 7th in runs scored. And while Matsui may finally return tonight, there is little reason to expect him to get right back into form, particularly against A. J. Burnett. And it is the pitching mismatch that really keys this one.

Burnett has over-powered the Yankees to the tune of 3-0/1.24 in his last four starts against them, including a gem from this mound right before the All Star break, when he carried a shutout into the 9th inning of an eventual 4-1 win, posting more strikeouts than hits + walks combined. That was part of an explosive current 7-0/2.89 run that he has here in the Rogers Centre, and in a game that both he and the Blue Jays behind him will bring a special focus (they only trail New York by two games in the standings), we can expect that form to continue.

And then there is Darrell Rasner. We cashed a 6* ticket against him in his last outing, and the fact that he is even taking the mound as the starter tonight tells you all you need to know about the current Yankee state of affairs. Rasner is merely a journeyman with mediocre stuff, and all it took was some time for the SCOUT ing reports to get around before he become easy fodder for A. L. hitters. He has worked to an ugly 1-5/6.80 over his last nine appearances, with 63 hits allowed vs. only 27 strikeouts, the kind of ratio that relegates you to mop-up middle relief, if you can even keep a job at all. But Joe Girardi has no other viable options, so he must send him out there again. And a guy whose stuff is easy to read on a second look now faces an offense that got to him for four runs (three earned) over five innings from this mound on July 12th, despite being without Alex Rios and Vernon Wells. They are both back now, keying a current 5-2 surge over the Tigers and Red Sox that builds plenty of confidence for this setting.

Ben Burns

Kansas City Royals @ Cleveland Indians Aug 19, 2008 7:05P
Cleveland Indians -162

REASON FOR PICK: These teams have similar records. The Indians are playing much better baseball right now though and are arguably the much better overall team. Sunday's 4-3 win brought them to 7-3 their last 10 games. The Royals lost their last game, also on Sunday, by a score of 15-6, dropping them to 2-9 their last 11. Note that the Royals are just 15-31 the past few seasons after allowing double-digits in runs in their previous game. The Royals send Luke Hochevar to the mound and that's been a losing proposition, particularly on the road. In 10 road starts, Hochevar has gone 2-6 with an ugly 6.17 ERA and 1.526 WHIP. Overall, Hochever is 0-4 with a 6.59 ERA in five starts since the All-Star break.

Reyes goes for the Indians and he's been very sharp since joining the team. He's gone six or more innings in each of his two AL starts and has allowed just three combined runs. Despite underachieving this year, the Indians are still a profitable 35-18 (+6.3) as home favorites in the -150 to -175 range the past three seasons. They should be able to start the series off with a victory. Consider Cleveland


Larry Ness


Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers Aug 19, 2008 10:10PM
PICK: Los Angeles Dodgers -140

REASON FOR PICK: Don't expect any second-half 'magic' from the Rockies this year. The Rockies enter this game 57-69 overall, eight games back of both the D'backs and Dodgers, who are tied at 64-60 for the NL West lead. The Rockies have not played well vs division opponents in '08, going 17-28 overall, including a 5-7 mark vs the Dodgers. After hitting .280 last year while averaging 5.28 RPG, the Rockies are hitting just .268 this season, while averaging 4.69 RPG. Colorado 'killed' right-handed pitching last year, going 70-49 (averaged 5.4 RPG) but is only 35-54 vs righties this year, averaging 4.2 runs. Colorado has been just awful on the road in '08, with a 23-40 mark, scoring just 3.94 RPG while allowing 5.13. Against righties on the road, the Rockies are 16-32, averaging 3.8 RPG. They'll face righty Hiroki Kuroda (7-8, 3.88 ERA) tonight and while he's 0-2 with a 7.50 ERA in two starts vs Colorado this year, Kuroda has pitched extremely well in August, allowing 14 hits and just three ERs over 22.1 innings of his three starts, for a 1.21 ERA (he's 2-0 and the team, 2-1). Let's also remember that the Dodgers are an impressive 13-4 at home since the break and look like a new team with Casey Blake and Manny on board. Ubaldo Jimenez (8-11, 3.94 ERA) starts for Colorado and it's been a 'rollercoaster' season for the young righty. He went just 1-7 over his first 15 starts (team was 3-12) but then from June 21 through August 1, was 7-2 with a 1.94 ERA. However, in his last two starts, he's allowed 19 hits, eight walks and 10 ERs in just 11 innings, for an 8.18 ERA. I'm sticking with the Dodgers.


Stephen Nover

Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers Aug 19, 2008 10:10PM

Los Angeles Dodgers -140

REASON FOR PICK: Ubaldo Jimenez has now thrown 153 innings for Colorado, nearly double the amount of innings he threw last season for the Rockies. I believe the youngster has hit the wall. He's been shelled for 19 hits and eight walks in his last two starts, giving up 10 runs in 11 innings.

The Dodgers' offense is a lot more dangerous with Manny Ramirez. There's a real buzz going on at Dodger Stadium thanks to Ramirez. It's reflected in Los Angeles winning eight of its last nine home contests. The Dodgers certainly can get to Jimenez, who has a 5.34 career ERA versus Los Angeles in six appearances.

The flip side has a hot Hiroki Kuroda starting for Los Angeles. He's 2-0 with a 1.21 ERA in his last three starts with a 17-to-two strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Los Angeles Angels @ Tampa Bay Rays u8.0 (-110)
Tue Aug 19 '08 7:10p

Ervin Santana of the Los Angeles Angels has been great on the road this year while James Shields of the Tampa Bay Rays has been almost unhittable at home, so do not expect much scoring here tonight.

Santana had been much better at home than on the road throughout his career, but he has overcome that road hump this season. He is 9-2 away from home this year with a nice 3.45 ERA, and the Under is 8-4 in his road starts. The last time he pitched outside of Anaheim, he tossed eight scoreless innings while allowing just five hits in a 1-0 win over the New York Yankees.

Meanwhile, Shields is 7-1 at home with an excellent 2.21 ERA and a microscopic 0.93 WHIP in 93.1 home innings. He has faced the Angels at home four times in the last two years, and he allowed a grand total of four runs in 28.1 innings, including a Complete Game one-hit shutout earlier this season.

As if that is not enough, the Tampa Bay bullpen now ranks third in the major leagues with a 3.18 ERA while the Angels have climbed up to number 12 after a terrible start with a 3.90 pen ERA. Finally, these are two of the most Under-friendly teams in baseball, with the Under going 71-51-2 in all Rays games and 66-50-7 in all Halos contests.

Angels/Rays Under 8 (-105)



Oakland Athletics (180)
Tue Aug 19 '08 8:10p

The Oakland Athletics upset the Minnesota Twins here last night, and we look for the Athletics to repeat that feat at a much better price here tonight.

Now, Sean Gallagher may not have pretty statistics since coming to Oakland, but the bottom line is that he has allowed three earned runs or less in five of his six starts as a member of the Athletics. A repeat performance would do just fine here, considering that the Oakland bullpen ranks fifth in the majors with a 3.47 ERA.

Granted, Kevin Slowey is generally underrated and he has allowed one run or less in three of his last four starts, but we are just not convinced that he deserves to be a -200 favorite over anyone just yet at this point of his career. In fact, the biggest favorite that he has been in any game this season was -164 vs. the Cleveland Indians, and he lost that contest by a 5-1 count.

We will go for the value play here with Oakland at this price.

Athletics +180

John Ryan

LAA Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays (MLB) - Aug 19, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -105 Tampa Bay Rays

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Tampa Bay ? Can anyone truly believe that TB is leading the AL East in mid-August? What is more amazing is the fact that if they win tonight they overtake Anaheim for the BEST record in baseball. All of this accomplished with numerous injuries to starters and key personnel. Hank Steinbrenner was crying that his team could not have done any better given their MASH list. Well, Hank you better take a look at how TEAM plays and how every member of that TEAM does their job. These teams are actually nearly the same, but the one most dominating difference is the TB bullpen. Over the past 7 games they have posted a 1.66 ERA and a 1.384 WHIP. Their entire pitching staff has done very well of late too allowing opponents a 243 BA in all games, 222 in home games, and 205 over the past 7 games. They allowed opponents to score 4.0 RPG on the season, 3.5 RPG in home games, and 3.0 RPG over the past 7 games. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 131-82 making 39.7 units since 2002. Play on home teams starting a pitcher who walked 5 or more hitters last outing and is now facing an opponent starting a well rested pitcher who is working on 5 or 6 days rest. TB starter Shields is 7-1 with a 2.21 ERA and 0.929 WHIP in home starts this season; 13-1 (+12.3 Units) against the money line in home games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons; 11-1 (+10.2 Units) against the money line in home games versus teams who strand 6.9 or less runners on base per game over the last 3 seasons. Take TB

Florida Marlins vs. San Francisco Giants (MLB) - Aug 19, 2008 10:15 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -144 Florida Marlins

Florida @ San Francisco 10:15 PM EST Play On: 1* Florida -135 (Nolasco/Correia) Listed Florida is 37-24 this year after a loss. This Giants team doesn't score many runs only averaging 3.8 runs per game overall, 3.8 runs per game at home and 3.8 runs per game against right handed starters this season. Nolasco is 11-7 overall this year and 6-3 on the road this season. Correia is only 2-6 with a 5.12 ERA overall this year. Correia is 0-1 with a 12.97 ERA overall vs Florida since 1997. Giants are 3-10 in Correias last 13 starts. We'll recommend a small play on Florida as our FREE play tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Atlanta Braves vs. New York Mets (MLB) - Aug 19, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -201 New York Mets

FREE PLAY on NY Mets -201 (listing Perez) We'll take the first place Mets to crush the struggling Braves tonight. The Braves are 1-7 in their last 8 overall, 4-11 in their last 15 vs. the National League East, and 0-6 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Mets are 6-1 in their last 7 overall, 9-2 in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing record, and 15-5 in their last 20 home games. With as much as the Braves have struggled with southpaws (3-9 in their last 12 road games vs. a left-handed starter), Perez gives the Mets the edge here. The Mets are 6-0 in Perez's last 6 starts vs. the National League East and 4-0 in Perez's last 4 home starts. Bet the Mets.



Jorge Gonzalez


Oakland Athletics vs. Minnesota Twins (MLB) - Aug 19, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: -1.5/-104 Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins (70-54) are coming off of a rare 3-2 home loss to the Oakland Athletics. I don?t expect Oakland to pull out to victories in a row here in this spot. The Athletics are 6-25 overall and 6-20 on the road. Oakland will be sending Shaun Gallagher (4-5, 4.50 ERA) to take on Kevin Slowely (9-8, 3.94) of Minnesota. Gallagher has really struggled as of late with an ERA of 7.50. Over Gallagher last 10 starts his respected team has gone 1-9. Conversely, The Twins have won eight of the last 10 games that Slowely has started. The wins are also in the thick of things in the American league Central division trailing the Chicago White Sox (71-53). The Twins are 13-1 when they have an on base percentage of .393 or higher over the last three games. The Twins bats should be able to put some runs up on the board against Gallagher. Take the Tins -1 ?.

Pittsburgh (+180) at ST. LOUIS Michael Cannon

We?re going to take a chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight as a huge underdog.

Ian Snell will get the start for Pittsburgh and he?s been a big disappointment after back-to-back solid seasons for the Bucs. But the right-hander may have started to turn the corner here as he has posted two quality starts in his last two games, but suffered the loss in each as the Pirates didn?t provide him with any run support.

Braden Looper will get the start for the Cards and I look for him to have a shaky outing tonight. The right-hander has allowed two runs or less in five consecutive starts, so it?s time for him to give up a few tonight.

Take the Pirates at the big plus return for the win.

2♦ PITTSBURGH



NY Yankees at TORONTO (-125) Karl Garrett

No issue in laying a little wood with Toronto, and AJ Burnett tonight, as the Yankees have proved they cannot handle Burnett's stuff in recent meetings.

Burnett is 3-0 the last 4 times he has started against the Yanks, and he has only allowed 4 earned runs to score in nearly 30 innings of work. His most recent start saw him nearly go the route, allowing 1 run to cross in 8 full frames back on July 13th.

The New York bats haven't exactly been reliable down the stretch, and if they get behind tonight, that will be all she wrote!

Darrell Rasner will counter, and I can't remember the last time this guy won a game!?!?!? Rasner is just 2-6 on the road this year with an ERA that is near 6.

The Blue Jays are right on the Yankees heels in the wild card chase, and Toronto has won their last pair, and 5 of their last 6 games overall.


G-Man is on Toronto to take this one tonight!

2♦ TORONTO



NY Yankees at TORONTO (-130) Drew Gordon

After a highly succesful road trip that saw the Jays go 5-1, including destroying the Red Sox and Josh Beckett 15-4 Sunday, Toronto returns home for a series with the A.L. East rival Yankees. Several reasons to like the Blue Jays tonight at home, but let's start with the pitching match up...



Needless to say, A.J. Burnett has been on a tear of late, finally putting all that talent together, going 9-2 with a 3.73 ERA over his last 11 starts! What's more is he's won a career-high 7 straight at the Rogers Centre, posting a 2.89 ERA over that span! And if that's not enough, he's 3-0 with a lockdown 1.23 ERA in his last 4 starts against the Yankees, including 2-0 this season, allowing just 3 runs in 14 1/3 innings!

At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Yankees Darrell Rasner, who's just 1-5 with a 6.80 ERA over his last 9 starts! True, he was better in his last start, at the Twins, but not only did he still lose, but he went only 5 innings, putting the pressure on this already struggling New York bullpen (posting a 6.61 ERA over their last 10 games)! Rasner is also just 2-6 with 5.96 ERA on the road this season, and now you want him to face-off with a Blue Jays batting order that just finished shredding Josh Beckett?!

Finally, its important to note that in the Blue Jays last home series, they got swept by the Indians in embarrassing fashion (which you could argue prompted their successful road trip). Now in their first game back from that road swing, I expect the Jays to come out especially sharp in this contest, looking to avoid a repeat of their piss-poor effort in the Cleveland series. Jays roll!

Take Toronto behind Burnett over the NY Yankees and Rasner in this MLB match up.

2♦ TORONTO



LA Angels at TAMPA BAY (-115) Sports Gambling Hotline

The Rays are proving that they can get along just fine without Carl Crawford, and Evan Longoria, as last night's 6-4 win over the Angels made it 2 in a row, 5 of 6, and 8 of their last 10 in the win column!

For the year, Tampa Bay is a whopping 46-17 on their home turf, and they have won ALL 4 season meetings with the Angels at Tropicana Field.

We will go with Tampa again tonight, as it looks like the Halos have finally hit the rough patch that happens to every team as the season goes along. Los Angeles has dropped their last pair, and 4 of 5, and they will have to contend with starter James Shields who has already fired a complete game shutout at them back in May at the Trop.

For the year, Shields is 7-1 at home with an ERA of 2.21.

It has been a magical season for Tampa, and we are not about to buck them in this spot.

Play on the Rays!

Game: Atlanta at New York Mets (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: New York Mets -1.5 runs +101 (runline)

There is no doubt Oliver Perez has great stuff as evidenced by his 15 wins for the Mets last season. He got out of the gate very slowly as his location and control did him in. As a result the Mets watched him walk hitters and give up big hits. As a result, the Mets were only winners in five of his first 13 starts. Perez has been back in the groove since then, and the Mets are now 9-3 over his last 12 starts. He has pitched to a 1.97 ERA over his last nine starts. The Mets would have gone 11-3 in the 14 games they have won if they were giving -1.5 runs. Jo Jo Reyes has been completely lost on the mound for the Braves. He has failed to get out of the third inning in each of his prior two starts, and the Braves have now lost his last six starts by a total score of 42-18. We like the Mets on the runline in this one.

New York Yankees (66-58) at Toronto Blue Jays (64-60)
(R) Darrell Rasner (5-9, 5.18) vs. (R) A.J. Burnett (15-9, 4.67 ERA)
New York Yankees have lost six of their last 10 games, 13 of their last 21 and five of its last 6 on the road. Go with the Blue Jays at home with their ace A.J. Burnett on the hill. Toronto is 7-0 in Burnett's last 7 starts and has won the right-hander's last four versus the Yankees. New York's right-hander Darrell Rasner is 1-5 with a 6.80 ERA in his last nine games and New York has lost six of Rasner?s last 7 starts on the road.


Toronto Blue Jays -130



Mr A

Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles

The Red Sox have won eight of their last 11 road games and has beaten the Orioles in five of the last six meetings, four of the last five in Baltimore.

Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka (14-2, 2.74 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his last three starts. The right-hander allowed four hits and five walks with seven strikeouts in six shutout innings of a 2-1 victory in his only start against the Orioles this season on July 13.

Baltimore's Daniel Cabrera (8-7, 4.78) is 1-1 with a 4.58 ERA in his last three starts. The right-hander is 1-1 with a 4.63 ERA in four starts against the Red Sox this season, 2-10 with a 6.81 ERA in 15 career starts versus Boston.

Take Boston! The Red Sox are currently playing well away from home and Daisuke Matsuzaka has been terrific on the road, 6-0 with a 2.04 ERA in nine road starts. Boston has won eight of Matsuzaka's last 10 road starts. Contrary, the Orioles have dropped seven of their last 10 games at Camden Yards and six of Cabrera?s last 7 starts versus the Red Sox at home.

Boston Red Sox -170

Oakland Athletics (Gallagher) at Minnesota Twins (Slowey)

Free Play On: Minnesota Twins (Listed Pitchers) -186

The Twins will rebound tonight after losing the opener last night, 3-2. The Twins have not suffered back-to-back home losses since May. On the other hand, Oakland is 6-23 since the All-Star break. The A's haven't won a road series since sweeping San Francisco in June.

Sean Gallagher takes the mound for Oakland. Gallagher is winless in his last five starts - all of which the A's have lost. He owns a 6.75 ERA, 2.38 WHIP and .467 OOBP in his two road starts since joining the A's. As if that's not bad enough, Gallagher has gotten just 2 runs per game in support. He is also struggling recently, posting a 7.50 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and .433 OOBP in his last three starts (11 K, 10 BB).

Kevin Slowey counters for Minnesota, looking to win his third straight start. In the right-hander's only start against the A's (June 1, 2007), he allowed one run and five hits over six innings of a 3-2, 10-inning win. Slowey owns a 3.47 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and .249 OOBP in home starts this season. He is in great current form with 10 K's and just 1 walk in his last three outings.

The Athletics are 3-13 in their last 16 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, 1-8 in their last 9 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and 0-6 in their last 6 games following a win. The Twins are 11-2 in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a losing record, 7-0 in Slowey's last 7 starts with 5 days of rest, and 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss.

Take Minnesota/Slowey over Oakland/Gallagher.

2 * Play : Houston Astros +1.5 -105^^^ Talk about value , well here it is in Spades with Houston on the R/L at almost even money .Last time I checked they were playing pretty good Baseball lately ,winning 10 of their last 13 Games .The Pitching match up is fairly even here I think giving the slightest edge to Sheets for the Brewers . These pitchers have split their two meetings this year , and I can\'t pass up getting 1.5 at even money with Moehler .Both have tremendous ERA\'s and exhibit great control , so there won\'t be a ton of walks today .Lets run with the value here and take the Astros on the R/L




INDIAN COWBOY

Seattle Mariners -109 (POD)

The Rangers should have won yesterday so I feel a bit gipped, but selectivity is the key and that has helped us sit at 60% for the last 5 months with the PODs. As per this selection, it is not the most popular given the disparities in offense in display here but remember, the Mariners got pummeled yesterday 13-5, they remember the beating and clearly have the better pitcher on the mound today who is just 7-7 on the year despite having a mid 3 era. Felix is just 7-7 on the year as he has picked up an unbelievable amount of no-decisions given that his offense never scores, he is 1-1 over his last 7 starts for example, he has yet to face the Whitesox this year who put up 13 runs yesterday as their bats can simply roll when they get it going, Clayton Richard has pitched the over in his last 3 ballgames as he has had era's of 9, 9.66 and 12.47, Seattle has clearly the better pitcher here, but note that the Whitesox have the better offense but Seattle is on a bounce-back from a beating yesterday, lean on Seattle here as Hernandez comes off a 5.14 era in his last start. Felix is 6-1 on the year when he faces a team with a winning record meaning he shows up against the better teams in the league, he is 5-1 on the year in his last 6 road starts and the Mariners are (9-3) in Herndandez's last 12 starts overall.

Cleveland Indians -170 (action)

A couple big systems are in our favor here.

MLB Money Line Single-Dime Bet
907 CIN (+265) Bodog vs 908 CHC

Analysis: The Cubs return home following a very successful 5-1 road trip and are due for a bit of a letdown at Wrigley Field, where they have been tough to beat this season. Chicago's Rich Harden has yet to earn a victory at Wrigley in three starts despite a 2.81 ERA there and 28 strikeouts in 16 innings. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto is coming off a solid road start at Pittsburgh, earning a victory after giving up just one run in five innings with seven strikeouts. Take the Reds as my Single Dime NL Underdog Play O' the Day.

MLB RunLine Double-Dime Bet
904 NYM -1.5 (+100) BetUS vs 903 ATL

Analysis: It's hard to believe the Braves have actually won seven of the nine meetings with the Mets this season, but keep in mind they haven't faced each other since the end of May. Atlanta has essentially given up on the season and faces a New York team primed to stay in first place. The Mets send Oliver Perez to the mound, and all nine of his wins this season have been decided by two runs or more. Meanwhile, the Braves have called up Jo-Jo Reyes, who saw his team lose in his previous six appearances before being sent down to the minors. New York is hitting .289 against lefties at home, so look for another big win here. Bet the Mets on the runline as my Double Dime NL Value Play O' the Week

UNDER dbax/padres If youre looking for offense, as a general rule, dont look to the NL West other than some crazy games in Colorado. The Padres, Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks are earning their reputation for lower-scoring games and that should continue in a true pitchers duel on Tuesday night. The Diamondbacks offense has been struggling on the road all season but, even though this game is at home its unlikely much will change. The Diamondbacks are hitting just .211 in their last five home games. The good news is that their starting pitchers went at least 7 innings in each of the last four games of their road trip and they compiled a 3.07 ERA. As you can see, some solid pitching and some more quiet bats at home are in store for Arizona on Tuesday night. Note that they managed just two hits on Sunday in getting shutout by Roy Oswalt and the Astros. The Diamondbacks lineup should struggle against Padres starter Josh Banks. The San Diego right-hander is coming off of a very poor start in his last outing. However, note that Banks had given up three earned runs or less in ten of his last fourteen outings. This included a solid effort against Arizona where he took the loss but he only allowed three earned runs in the game! Its quite likely he will repeat that success on Tuesday night but the trouble for him will once again be a lack of run support just like it was in the 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks earlier this season. The Padres have scored three runs or less in five of their last six games. In fact, in those five low-scoring outputs they have averaged just 1.4 runs per game. Look for more futility at the plate for San Diego tonight as they must deal with Doug Davis of the Diamondbacks. Even though the Arizona southpaw has not impressed recently, his match-ups with light-hitting San Diego have been a different story! Davis is just 1-1 against the Padres this season but hes held them to just three earned runs on nine hits and these two outings have spanned nearly 16 innings. Also, in 2007, Davis was a perfect 3-0 against the Padres and he compiled a .275 ERA while only allowing San Diego to hit .217 against him! With this pitching match-up, the public is going to expect these two hurlers to struggle based on their recent results. However, we fully expect these pitchers to dominate because this is a favorable match-up for each hurler and each of these teams bats has proven they can often be kept quiet. Pitchers duel!

MLB Money Line Double-Dime Bet
921 NYY (+118) BetUS vs 922 TOR

Analysis: MLB: New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays - Yankees (Rasner/Burnett) +118 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 8/19/2008
Note: Burnett has not been sharp his last 3 outings and I suspect that he is arm weary with fewer K's during this period. While he has had the Yankees number over his career, this game offers extreme value. The Jays have been impressive on the road to Detroit and to Boston and that has given us this very good betting line. Call me crazy, but New York has not given up the ship yet and they do have a lineup that hits righties very well. The day off will help get this team re-focused for the last month's run and I expect them to come out swinging the bats in a big way. They will probably need to considering Rasner's work this year. I am going to grab this nice number..



MLB RunLine Double-Dime Bet
902 PHI -1.5 (-110) BetUS vs 901 WAS

Analysis: MLB: Washington Nationals at Philadelphia Phillies - Phillies -1.5 (Bergman/Blanton) -110 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 8/19/2008
Note: We are getting to that time of the year when we are going to be seeing some Huge Betting Lines. This is one of those and I will play it runline. The Nats have now dropped 10 straight and it appears this team is packing it in. They are not hitting, they are getting very poor work from their Pen, and that Pen is very overworked. Bergman's work has slipped greatly lately as well. Blanton is coming off one of his worst starts since joining Philadelphia, giving up four runs and nine hits in five innings as the Phillies lost 7-6 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. He is a competitor and he should bounce back nicely tonight as he faces a lot of hitters he has not faced before. That is to his advantage. Phillies bats have been mostly silent, running into some good pitching on the West Coast swing but they are back at home where they have been punishing incoming throwers for the most part. This one could be very easy indeed.



MLB Total Double-Dime Bet
926 TEX / 925 DET Over 11 BetUS

Analysis: MLB: Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers - Over 11 (Galarraga/Padilla) -105 | Unit Value: 2
Game Date: 8/19/2008
Note: Texas has the worst pitching in either league and they proved it again last night. They have now allowed 7 or more runs the last 9 of 10 games. That makes this staff very weary and with the Big Tiger Bats in town, that weariness could easily continue. The Rangers will face a solid thrower but this park is a Run Bonanza and one that Galarraga has not experienced yet. Ranger Bats woke up last night and they should be able to plate some tonight. The Tiger Pen is till very much below par and not performing well right now. Andre cannot go all the way tonight so we will get to see the Tiger Bullpen. These teams have averaged 15.5 runs the 4 times they have met this year. I think we have a good chance of seeing that average remain the same or close to it when this one is in the books..
