1.5-Unit Play. Take #958 Washington (-135)
over Florida (7 p.m., Wednesday, April 9)
After a roller coaster opening week I think the Nationals needed a day off. Hopefully it cooled off the Marlins bats. Florida took game 1 but the home team in this series is 13-4 and the Marlins are just 1-7 in their last eight in Washington. Scott Olsen is one the hill and he is incredibly unpredictable. The Nats have been hitting lefties well so we?ll look for that to continue.

3-Unit Play. Take #965 San Diego (-130) over San Francisco (10 p.m., Wednesday, April 9)
Last night?s win by the Giants was an absolute fluke. The Padres outhit San Fran and stranded 28 total runners in the extra-inning defeat. Now the Padres are going to get their licks in against rookie Jon Sanchez, who got lit up for seven runs in four innings against the Brewers last week. Sanchez throws a ton of pitches and isn?t very accurate. I think the Padres will exploit that and get two of three in this series. They are still 11-2 in the last 13 meetings and 16-6 in the last 22 meetings.

1-Unit Play. Take #955 Philadelphia (+125)
over New York Mets (7 p.m., Wednesday, April 9)
Philadelphia owns the Mets right now. They have won seven straight in Shea and have won nine straight overall in this series. I have very little faith in Mike Pelfrey, as the Mets went 4-11 last year in his starts. We?re getting good value on the better team here, and in a game where either teams? bullpen can meltdown at any time I think the value is on the plus-money.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #972 Toronto (-155)
over Oakland (7 p.m., Wednesday, April 9)
Note: Listed pitchers should be Litsch and Smith.

The Blue Jays hammer left-handed pitching and they are getting a crack at a kid making his MLB debut today. That?s bad news for him, especially considering that Jerry Crawford and his tight zone are behind the plate. The Blue Jays are 43-22 in their last 65 home games and after dropping the first game of the series I look for them to bounce back strong.

MLB. 2-7 (-625)

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

DETROIT (Bonderman) +110 over BOSTON (Lester)

Things are getting pretty desperate in Detroit these
days, with the Tigers stumbling out of the gate in
2008 (-$1145 so far). But we'll look for them to
break through here at Fenway Park tonight. The
Tigers had very impressive numbers vs. lefties in
2007, including a 14-5 mark in road night games
(+$1135 with 5.8 runs per game). And because
the Red Sox command such high prices at home,
they actually lost money here in night games last
year (-$1125). Detroit is far too good to be 0-7,
and tonight looks like a perfect opportunity to
put their first notch in the win column.

Charlotte over New York by 11

Isiah Thomas, off two wins against opponents that
had absolutely nothing to play for, and, also, off a
phony-baloney feel-good night in Detroit, where he
went back in time to get his ego stroked in the
107th different night of Detroit honoring past
champion Piston teams. Bad coach, bad team,
zero time to prepare against an opponent that isn't
much, but isn't on a tank trail to the playoffs like
Detroit and Orlando were. CHARLOTTE, 111-100.

Today's Games...

1. 300,000♦ Chicago White Sox
2. 50,000♦ Orioles
3. 50,000♦ Spurs

1. Chicago White Sox- A lot of things to like about the surging White Sox in this one, but let's start with their recent play, winners of 5 straight, including Monday's 7-4 comeback win over the Twins. The hero of Monday's game was clearly red-hot Joe Crede, who's grand slam lifted the Sox to victory. Sox got 11 hits Monday, as Pierzynski and Dye (among others) have started the season hot, a big part of the reason they'll get the win here once again tonight.
Besides their winning streak, the White Sox also have a favorable pitching match up in this one, as they've had plenty of success against Minnesota's Scott Baker in the past. The Twins righty is 1-2 with an astronimical 9.14 ERA in 5 career starts versus the White Sox, and the way they've been swinging the bats lately... This one could get real ugly for Baker. True, the last time he pitched at U.S. Cellular he got the win, but in the process allowed 7 runs on 9 hits over 5 innings, so don't tell me he isn't vulnerable tonight!
Got to like the way southpaw Joe Danks started the season, allowing 1 earned on just 2 hits over 6 2/3 innings at Cleveland, despite not getting the decision. He held a formidable Indians lineup hitless for 5 innings, and all signs point to another strong start from the young lefty in this one. He had his troubles last season at home, but cut the youngster some slack, as you'll see a more mature and polished Danks this season.
Bottom line, not only are the White Sox playing great baseball right now, but they've got the pitching match up necessary to crush the Twins in this one. You can just hear the White Sox batters licking their chops thinking about Baker, who's been downright awful against the Sox in his career. While you can expect Danks will be looking to erase his woes at US Cellular with strong performance here tonight. White Sox roll!
Take the Chicago White Sox behind Danks over the Twins and Baker as your top-rated play of the day.

2. Orioles- This play is all about value, as the Orioles come into this contest being severely undervalued despite their hot start to the season. While many expected more of a rebuilding effort from this Orioles club, they've come out of the gate hot, losing their season opener, but then reeling off 6 straight wins, including a 4-game sweep of the Mariners!
I'll admit there's slight pitching edge for the Rangers with Gabbard on the mound, but not by nearly as much as you think. Veteran righty Steve Trachsel has been rock-solid for the Orioles, not giving up more than 3 runs in 7 straight starts for the O's. Not only that, but he was solid in his season debut, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits over 5 2/3 innings to the Mariners Friday.
Despite being terrible in the Spring, Gabbard started the season in impressive fashion, tossing 7 scoreless innings against a rock-solid Angels lineup. In two career starts against the Orioles, he's 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA, but let's not get carried away. Streaks are just as important in baseball as past history, what I mean is, the Orioles are rolling right now, and if you think Gabbard is just going to cruise to victory like he did against the Angels, you're dead wrong!
Finally, the Orioles most surprising/biggest edge has to be their bullpen, which has posted a minuscule 0.74 ERA, allowing just 2 runs over 24 1/3 innings this season! Texas's bullpen has been anything but consistent, posting a 6.61 ERA over their last 16 innings. Even if Gabbard can slow down the Orioles, when gets into the later innings, the Orioles have a huge edge in this one.
Bottom line, there's too much value to be had with this Orioles team right now, to side with anyone but Baltimore in this contest. Trachsel has been consistent, and their bullpen has been outstanding, all that's left is for the O's batting order to keep on delivering (note their batting .364 against lefties this season, in the early going).
Grab the plus money with the Orioles behind Trachsel over the Rangers and Gabbard in this MLB match up.

3. Spurs- Like clockwork every year, the Spurs finally decide its time to play, and they start dominating the opposition once again. Winners of 9 of their last 10 games, It all starts with defense, and right now, no one in the NBA is playing better D than San Antonio, allowing 86 ppg on 40% shooting over their last 11 games!
It gets even tougher in San Antonio, where the Spurs have won 12 of their last 13 games, and are absolutely thrashing foes. New Orleans, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and Golden State are just some of the teams they've beaten lately at home, and you can Phoenix to that list after tonight.
Let's use Golden State as an example, as they're the team that most resembles Phoenix's style of play. Think offense can trump defense? Well, the Spurs 116-92 destruction of the Warriors says otherwise! Note, not one opponent in their last 11 games has scored over 100 points, and if the Suns can't score, they can't win, plain and simple.
The last time these two teams played, the Suns took it to the Spurs 94-87 in Phoenix, but that was during a rough patch where San Antonio lost 6 of 7 games in mid-March. Since then the Spurs have regrouped and look like a championship team getting ready for an extended playoff run. With the top-seed in the West still up for grabs, there's little reason not to expect another "max-effort" from the Spurs in this one. Also, its important to remember the Suns have had trouble against the elite teams in the league on the road, losing at Detroit, at Boston, and at Denver in their last 10 games.
Bottom line, look for the Spurs to put the clamps on the Suns attack in this one, as they continue their run at the # 1 seed in the West tonight. Suns are a good team, but until they show they can win against tough competition on the road, I'm not convinced. Spurs get the solid home win and cover in this one!
Take the Spurs comfortably over the Suns in this NBA match up.

MLB Total of the Day (MLB Totals YTD: 8-1 89%)

My 5* MLB Total of the Day is the LA Dodgers/Arizona Diamondbacks Over the posted total. Last night we cashed a ticket with the over between these two squads as they went on to score 15 runs. Diamondbacks are mashing the ball right now and could have scored about 15 runs by themselves last night if they didn?t leave bases loaded on several occasions. None the less they have scored 19 runs in two games versus the Dodgers and rank on top of almost every offensive category, 2nd in runs scored at 6.25 per game, 9th in BA at .267, 2nd in OPS at .860, and 1st in HR?s AT 17 on the year. Both of these pitchers Kuroda for the Dodgers and Owings for the Diamondbacks pitched well in their season openers but I expect poor outings tonight as Kuroda had the luxury of facing off against a SD team that really isn?t hitting the ball that well and the luxury of PETCO Park. Meanwhile, Owings faced off against Colorado squad who has not woken up at the plate at all this year. Kuroda is only making his 2nd big league start and it couldn?t come at a worse time the Diamondbacks are really smashing the ball. I also like backing over?s when Owings gets involved because he is a fantastic hitter and to have him in the 9 spot keeps big innings going leading to a lot of run support generally. Owings was terrible for Day games last year posting a 5.63 ERA in comparison to his 3.97 in night games. Both teams used their bullpen pretty heavy yesterday and both BP?s got shelled expect much of the same this afternoon. I currently have this line at 9. My 5* MLB Total of the Day is the LA Dodgers/Arizona Diamondbacks Over the posted total. As always, Good Luck, Let?s make some money.



MLB Game of the Day (11-2 Last 13 Selections, 19-4 Last 23 Selections)

My 5* MLB Game of the Day is the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres. I realize the Giants aren?t a very good team this year and that their offense really struggles but all that being said I think they take some confidence from last night?s game into tonight. Molina hit a walk off in the 10th to win the game 3-2 and it was his 2nd home run of the game. Very important for him to get going this season as he is one of the few Giants that can present some pop in that lineup, he was 2-5 with 2 runs and 2 RBIS yesterday, 2-4 with a 1 run and a double the day before and has at least one hit in 6 out of the last 7 games. Sanchez will take the mound for the Giants and Germano for the Padres. Sanchez got roughed up in his first start of the year but that was at Milwaukee against a much better batting lineup then the Padres present. Padres really aren?t scoring a lot of runs this year and presenting much pop as they are averaging 3.56 runs per game and only have 6 team HR?s on the year. I like Giants winning with a walk off last night and building some confidence at home; I expect them to get the job done for us tonight and win 2 in a row. I currently have this line at +120. My 5* MLB Game of the Day is the San Francisco Giants. As always, Good Luck, Let?s make some money.
