WNBA - 651 Chicago Sky @ 652 Indiana Fever
Chicago caused one of the major upsets of the day by winning outright at Minnesota, but for me it wasn't an upset at all, as I knew the Sky would be competitive and that's why I took them plus the points yesterday. Chicago is a young team and those players need confidence to compete at their best. With two wins in a row and against teams with winning records, the best that can happen to a young team in this kind of situation is to play on the next day.
However Indiana comes to this game with a bad mood, as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games, all road games. They had 3 days to rest and prepare this game. Their last defeat was at Houston by 61-75 in a terrible offensive game, not only for the 61 points scored but also due to the 25 TO committed. The team had a terrible spot for that game, as they had a triple overtime game at NY two days before. So, come to this I expect an offensive bounce back of the team, starting in the attack. This season, everytime the team didn't score more than 70 points in the game, they are 4-1 Over in the following game, as when the team has lost by more than 10 points, the team at home has exploded offensively, having a 2-0 Over record until now.
I expect a bounce back of Indiana in this game and against a young team with confidence, which can be an active dog today, I expect a game reaching the mark of the 150 points. Take the over in here.

Game: Texas at New York Yankees (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Texas +155 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 4.7)
This Yankees team is quite puzzling. The lineup is so deep, but they often find themselves in offensive slumps, and they are deep within one right now. The Yankees have scored just 7 runs in their last four games, and last night broke an 0-18 mark hitting with runners in scoring position. The bats have all gone cold. They opened the season with seven of nine games scoring 3 runs or less. They hit another streak of scoring 2 or less in six of seven games, and here we go again. While this Yankee offense should be very good and consistent, it simply is not. This is an extremely valued line on a Rangers team that does one thing well, and that's score.
Game: Boston at Tampa Bay (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Boston +130 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 5.2)
We will take the Red Sox all day long with Dice K, as the Sox have won 11 of his 13 starts. Yes, Scott Kazmir can match him pitch for pitch, but if that makes this matchup even, then the Sox back end of the bullpen is much more solid, and gives them the edge here. The Sox got to Kazmir already this year, and his 6-6 mark lifetime against them says the Sox can win this one. We will back them as a live dog.
Game: Pittsburgh at Cincinnati (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Cincinnati -141 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)
These teams are fighting each other to keep out of the basement in the NL Central. Nothin has yet been decided as they have split the first two games of this series. This looks to be a tough spot for the Pirates. Since taking their opening road series of the season two games to one in Atlanta, they have managed to win just one other series on the road all season. Although they have been tough at home, their road woes continue at 14-25. John Van Benschoten has not supplied much hope for a struggling team on the road, as his only start vs Atlanta he was gone after four innings and seven runs. He has allowed 20 baserunners in just 8.2 innings of work. This is a excellent spot for the Reds, who have played winning baseball at home to grab the win in this one.
Game: Cleveland at Chicago White Sox (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Chicago White Sox -101 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 4)
The White Sox have not only won six in a row, but in their last 19 home games they have been a sizzling 17-2. The pitchers that took losses in this stretch are Dempster, Lee and Lackey - three likely All-Stars. The 19 games has shown the Sox outscore the opponent by a 139-68 margin, more than doubling them up. The offense has been as good as their is in baseball, as that run total equals 7.3 per game, very significant for a 19 game stretch. The Indians actually have a losing overall record with Sabathia on the mound and are just 2-4 in his road starts. These teams have traded places from a year ago, and the Sox get the call here.
Game: Chicago Cubs at San Francisco (10:15 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on San Francisco +126 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 3.Cool
The Cubs remain atop the NL Central, but certainly that has nothing to do with their road play, nor play of late. The Cubs have been horrible over the past few weeks, and are just 5-9 in their last 14 games and just 1-7 in their last eight on the road. The Giants looked awful at the start of the year quickly falling to a 17-29 record, but over the last six weeks have become a much different team. THey have gone 20-18 in their last 38. You also have to remember that Ryan Dempster was pitching way over his head. He is a career 10 games below .500 pitcher, with close to a 5 ERA. He has pitched more like his career numbers of late, and with the Cubs struggling, particularly on the road, we have to grab the value on the improved Giants as a home dog.
Game: Chicago Cubs at San Francisco (10:20 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on San Francisco +1.5 runs -137 (runline) (risk 3 to win 2.2)
We like the Giants to win this one straight up, so it's hard to ignore the value on the run line as well. The Giants have also had their way over the years vs good pitchers. They have amassed a run line record of 236-172 good for +50.8 units vs. a pitcher with an ERA of 3.50 or less.
DSETHI
3 units:
Rockies (-140)...Really like Jimenez, especially at home vs. weak-hitting Padres, Cook ate innings as expected, Bucholz, Fuentes ready in pen for this one. Rockies hitting almost .280 vs. lefties and lineup is almost healthy now.
2 units:
Dbacks (-120)...McClung on the road is a huge question mark, Owings was looking fine vs. Marlins before injury, their important bullpen relief didn't go yesterday, bats starting to come alive at home as well, Brewers' pen big if considering McClung doesn't figure to go more than 6 if that.
Angels (-130)...Battle between 2 lefties, will take the better one with the better lineup behind him, and the better bullpen. Saunders good at home and will be tough on A's good left-handed bats. Eveland will have to face some pretty damn good RH bats in order to get through this one.

15* AL Game of the Week
TAM (-140) vs BOS
Following Tuesday's 3-1 by the Rays, home sides are a perfect 11-0 when Tampa and Boston hook up this season. With the victory, the Rays have now won seven of their last eight and own Major League Baseball's best record at 51-32. To further illustrate how far this formerly moribund franchise has come, consider that it was just Tim Wakefield's fourth loss in 23 decisions against Tampa. Needless to say, this is no longer your "older brother's Rays." They are now 19 games above .500 at Tropicana Field this season, where they have obviously downed Boston in all five meetings in 2008. We might be able to look past the "home dominance" of this series for just a game, but take note that the Red Sox are now 1-11 on artificial turf this season. While Daisuke Matsuzaka does boast a tremendous 9-1 record on the year, including 4-0 on the road, one needs to take a further look inside the numbers. Over his last three starts, the Japaneese superstar has an ERA of 8.10. He hasn't thrown more than five innings in any of those outings. Compare that to the Rays's Scott Kazmir, who has been lights out at home this year (4-1, 1.24 ERA). Tampa is 20-5 as a home favorite of -125 to -175. Tampa Bay is our 15* AL Game of the Week.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Milwaukee (45-3Cool at Arizona (42-42)
Micah Owings (6-7, 5.18 ERA) looks to snap a personal five-game losing skid and pick up his first victory since May 25 when he takes the mound for the Diamondbacks in the rubber match of this series against the Brewers and Seth McClung (5-3, 4.25) at Chase Field. Arizona earned a 6-3 win Monday, but came back on Tuesday and fell 8-6. The DBacks are mired in funks of 3-8 overall, 8-21 against winning teams, 6-8 at home, 2-6 against right-handed starters and 3-9 versus the N.L. Central.
Milwaukee has followed an 8-1 hot streak by losing four of its last six, and the team has lost 14 of its last 20 road games against right-handed starters. Still, the Brewers are on positive runs of 11-5 against the N.L. West, 11-3 against winning teams and 5-1 on Wednesdays. Finally, Milwaukee is now 10-3 in the last 13 head-to-head meetings between these squads, including sweeping a three-game home series in early June. The Brew Crew has outscored the DBacks 55-16 in its last seven victories against Arizona.
Since starting the season 4-0 with 2.42 ERA in his first four outings, Owings has gone 2-7 with a 6.27 ERA in his last 12 starts, with Arizona losing nine of those contests. On Friday at Florida, Owings lasted just four innings, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks in a 3-1 loss. Also, the right-hander was on the wrong end of a 10-1 decision in Milwaukee on June 4, surrendering five runs (four earned) and eight hits in a season-low three innings of work. He?s 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA in two career starts against the Brewers, both in Milwaukee.
McClung, who is making his eighth start of the season for the Brewers, got roughed up his last time out on Friday at Minnesota, yielding five runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings and failing to get a decision in his team?s 7-6 loss. Prior to that, the right-hander had recorded four straight quality starts, going 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA. That included a 7-1 home win over Arizona on June 3.
McClung is 1-1 with a 3.26 ERA in 10 appearances on the road (three starts). Meanwhile, Owings is 3-3 with a 5.66 ERA in seven starts at Chase Field.
The under is 6-1 in McClung?s seven starts this year, the lone ?over? coming in Friday?s game at Minnesota. The under is also 4-2-1 in Owings? seven home games. Additionally, the under is on runs of 6-2 for Milwaukee overall (3-1 last four), 8-3 for Milwaukee as an underdog, 7-1-2 for Arizona overall, 11-5-1 for Arizona as a favorite and 7-4-1 in this rivalry.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Boston (50-36) at Tampa Bay (51-32)
Scott Kazmir (7-3, 2.2Cool toes the rubber as the first-place Rays go for a three-game sweep against the Red Sox. Tampa Bay held off Boston 5-4 on Monday and 3-1 on Tuesday and now leads the division by 2? games. The Rays, who also sport baseball?s best record, have won 11 of their last 14 games overall, going 7-1 in the last eight. They?re also on an incredible 28-6 roll at Tropicana Field, and they?re 42-18 in their last 60 games as a favorite.
The Red Sox, who hand the ball to Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-1, 3.21) tonight, have lost four in a row (all on the road), and they?re now 17-37 in their last 54 contests on an artificial surface and 3-9 in their last 12 as an underdog.
The host is on a 12-0 run in this rivalry, with the home team winning all 11 meetings this year. Boston still owns an astounding 98-45 record in the last 143 clashes against the Rays, but it has lost six straight at Tampa dating to 2007.
Kazmir picked up a victory in Pittsburgh on Friday despite lasting just five innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits in Tampa?s 10-5 rout. Although the southpaw hasn?t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 11 starts this season, he has a 4.11 ERA in his last three trips to the mound, failing to get out of the sixth inning in any of those contests.
Kazmir has shined at home this year, going 4-1 with a 1.24 ERA in six starts, holding five of those six foes to one or no runs. In 18 career starts against the Red Sox, he?s 6-6 with a 2.82 ERA, but going back to last year, the Rays are 2-5 when Kazmir goes against Boston, including a 7-3 loss in Beantown in his season debut on May 4.
Matsuzaka bounced back from his first loss of the season ? an ugly 9-3 home setback to the Cardinals in which he gave up seven runs in one-plus innings ? with a dominating effort Friday at Houston. He gave up two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings en route to a 6-1 win over the Astros. With that effort, the right-hander improved to 4-0 with a 2.20 ERA in six road starts this year.
Matsuzaka faced Tampa Bay five times in his rookie season last year, going 1-3 with a 4.09 ERA, including 0-2 with a 4.26 ERA in three outings at Tropicana Field.
The under is 4-1-1 in Matsuzaka?s six road starts this year, 5-1 in Kazmir?s six home outings and 6-2 in Kazmir?s last eight efforts versus Boston. Also, the under is 6-2-1 in Boston?s last nine games overall, 8-4-2 in Boston?s last 14 against winning teams and 23-9-1 in Tampa?s last 33 home games. Finally, in this rivalry, the under has cashed in five of the last six meetings at Tropicana Field, the lone ?over? coming when Monday?s 5-4 contest barely topped the posted total.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Cincinnati Reds
Wednesday, July 2nd, 7:10 PM ET
Bucs' starter Van B. has been on the shelf since May and is in a tough spot in his return as he faces a power-packed Reds' team looking to bounce back off last night's x-tra inning loss. Even with that win Pittsburgh is 17-51 against the money line in road games vs. a good bullpen whose ERA is 3.75 or better over the last 3 seasons.

Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox
Wednesday, July 2nd, 8:10 PM ET
The Indians have lost all five meetings with the White Sox here at US Cellular Field, but tonight they have CC Sabathia on their side. The hefty lefty is auditioning himself for a potential trade and has done quite the job so far as the Tribe has won each of his previous four starts. In two of those outings, including the last, he allowed no runs and he's worked into the 7th on all four occasions. Counterpart Contreras has an ERA of 8.44 his last three starts.

WNBA - 651 Chicago Sky @ 652 Indiana Fever
Chicago caused one of the major upsets of the day by winning outright at Minnesota, but for me it wasn't an upset at all, as I knew the Sky would be competitive and that's why I took them plus the points yesterday. Chicago is a young team and those players need confidence to compete at their best. With two wins in a row and against teams with winning records, the best that can happen to a young team in this kind of situation is to play on the next day.
However Indiana comes to this game with a bad mood, as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games, all road games. They had 3 days to rest and prepare this game. Their last defeat was at Houston by 61-75 in a terrible offensive game, not only for the 61 points scored but also due to the 25 TO committed. The team had a terrible spot for that game, as they had a triple overtime game at NY two days before. So, come to this I expect an offensive bounce back of the team, starting in the attack. This season, everytime the team didn't score more than 70 points in the game, they are 4-1 Over in the following game, as when the team has lost by more than 10 points, the team at home has exploded offensively, having a 2-0 Over record until now.
I expect a bounce back of Indiana in this game and against a young team with confidence, which can be an active dog today, I expect a game reaching the mark of the 150 points. Take the over in here.

Wunderdog Final Card
Game: Texas at New York Yankees (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Texas +155 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 4.7)
This Yankees team is quite puzzling. The lineup is so deep, but they often find themselves in offensive slumps, and they are deep within one right now. The Yankees have scored just 7 runs in their last four games, and last night broke an 0-18 mark hitting with runners in scoring position. The bats have all gone cold. They opened the season with seven of nine games scoring 3 runs or less. They hit another streak of scoring 2 or less in six of seven games, and here we go again. While this Yankee offense should be very good and consistent, it simply is not. This is an extremely valued line on a Rangers team that does one thing well, and that's score.
Game: Boston at Tampa Bay (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Boston +130 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 5.2)
We will take the Red Sox all day long with Dice K, as the Sox have won 11 of his 13 starts. Yes, Scott Kazmir can match him pitch for pitch, but if that makes this matchup even, then the Sox back end of the bullpen is much more solid, and gives them the edge here. The Sox got to Kazmir already this year, and his 6-6 mark lifetime against them says the Sox can win this one. We will back them as a live dog.
Game: Pittsburgh at Cincinnati (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Cincinnati -141 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)
These teams are fighting each other to keep out of the basement in the NL Central. Nothin has yet been decided as they have split the first two games of this series. This looks to be a tough spot for the Pirates. Since taking their opening road series of the season two games to one in Atlanta, they have managed to win just one other series on the road all season. Although they have been tough at home, their road woes continue at 14-25. John Van Benschoten has not supplied much hope for a struggling team on the road, as his only start vs Atlanta he was gone after four innings and seven runs. He has allowed 20 baserunners in just 8.2 innings of work. This is a excellent spot for the Reds, who have played winning baseball at home to grab the win in this one.
Game: Cleveland at Chicago White Sox (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Chicago White Sox -101 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 4)
The White Sox have not only won six in a row, but in their last 19 home games they have been a sizzling 17-2. The pitchers that took losses in this stretch are Dempster, Lee and Lackey - three likely All-Stars. The 19 games has shown the Sox outscore the opponent by a 139-68 margin, more than doubling them up. The offense has been as good as their is in baseball, as that run total equals 7.3 per game, very significant for a 19 game stretch. The Indians actually have a losing overall record with Sabathia on the mound and are just 2-4 in his road starts. These teams have traded places from a year ago, and the Sox get the call here.
Game: Chicago Cubs at San Francisco (10:15 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on San Francisco +126 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 3.Cool
The Cubs remain atop the NL Central, but certainly that has nothing to do with their road play, nor play of late. The Cubs have been horrible over the past few weeks, and are just 5-9 in their last 14 games and just 1-7 in their last eight on the road. The Giants looked awful at the start of the year quickly falling to a 17-29 record, but over the last six weeks have become a much different team. THey have gone 20-18 in their last 38. You also have to remember that Ryan Dempster was pitching way over his head. He is a career 10 games below .500 pitcher, with close to a 5 ERA. He has pitched more like his career numbers of late, and with the Cubs struggling, particularly on the road, we have to grab the value on the improved Giants as a home dog.
Game: Chicago Cubs at San Francisco (10:20 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on San Francisco +1.5 runs -137 (runline) (risk 3 to win 2.2)
We like the Giants to win this one straight up, so it's hard to ignore the value on the run line as well. The Giants have also had their way over the years vs good pitchers. They have amassed a run line record of 236-172 good for +50.8 units vs. a pitcher with an ERA of 3.50 or less.
DSETHI
3 units:
Rockies (-140)...Really like Jimenez, especially at home vs. weak-hitting Padres, Cook ate innings as expected, Bucholz, Fuentes ready in pen for this one. Rockies hitting almost .280 vs. lefties and lineup is almost healthy now.
2 units:
Dbacks (-120)...McClung on the road is a huge question mark, Owings was looking fine vs. Marlins before injury, their important bullpen relief didn't go yesterday, bats starting to come alive at home as well, Brewers' pen big if considering McClung doesn't figure to go more than 6 if that.
Angels (-130)...Battle between 2 lefties, will take the better one with the better lineup behind him, and the better bullpen. Saunders good at home and will be tough on A's good left-handed bats. Eveland will have to face some pretty damn good RH bats in order to get through this one.

15* AL Game of the Week
TAM (-140) vs BOS
Following Tuesday's 3-1 by the Rays, home sides are a perfect 11-0 when Tampa and Boston hook up this season. With the victory, the Rays have now won seven of their last eight and own Major League Baseball's best record at 51-32. To further illustrate how far this formerly moribund franchise has come, consider that it was just Tim Wakefield's fourth loss in 23 decisions against Tampa. Needless to say, this is no longer your "older brother's Rays." They are now 19 games above .500 at Tropicana Field this season, where they have obviously downed Boston in all five meetings in 2008. We might be able to look past the "home dominance" of this series for just a game, but take note that the Red Sox are now 1-11 on artificial turf this season. While Daisuke Matsuzaka does boast a tremendous 9-1 record on the year, including 4-0 on the road, one needs to take a further look inside the numbers. Over his last three starts, the Japaneese superstar has an ERA of 8.10. He hasn't thrown more than five innings in any of those outings. Compare that to the Rays's Scott Kazmir, who has been lights out at home this year (4-1, 1.24 ERA). Tampa is 20-5 as a home favorite of -125 to -175. Tampa Bay is our 15* AL Game of the Week.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Milwaukee (45-3Cool at Arizona (42-42)
Micah Owings (6-7, 5.18 ERA) looks to snap a personal five-game losing skid and pick up his first victory since May 25 when he takes the mound for the Diamondbacks in the rubber match of this series against the Brewers and Seth McClung (5-3, 4.25) at Chase Field. Arizona earned a 6-3 win Monday, but came back on Tuesday and fell 8-6. The DBacks are mired in funks of 3-8 overall, 8-21 against winning teams, 6-8 at home, 2-6 against right-handed starters and 3-9 versus the N.L. Central.
Milwaukee has followed an 8-1 hot streak by losing four of its last six, and the team has lost 14 of its last 20 road games against right-handed starters. Still, the Brewers are on positive runs of 11-5 against the N.L. West, 11-3 against winning teams and 5-1 on Wednesdays. Finally, Milwaukee is now 10-3 in the last 13 head-to-head meetings between these squads, including sweeping a three-game home series in early June. The Brew Crew has outscored the DBacks 55-16 in its last seven victories against Arizona.
Since starting the season 4-0 with 2.42 ERA in his first four outings, Owings has gone 2-7 with a 6.27 ERA in his last 12 starts, with Arizona losing nine of those contests. On Friday at Florida, Owings lasted just four innings, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks in a 3-1 loss. Also, the right-hander was on the wrong end of a 10-1 decision in Milwaukee on June 4, surrendering five runs (four earned) and eight hits in a season-low three innings of work. He?s 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA in two career starts against the Brewers, both in Milwaukee.
McClung, who is making his eighth start of the season for the Brewers, got roughed up his last time out on Friday at Minnesota, yielding five runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings and failing to get a decision in his team?s 7-6 loss. Prior to that, the right-hander had recorded four straight quality starts, going 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA. That included a 7-1 home win over Arizona on June 3.
McClung is 1-1 with a 3.26 ERA in 10 appearances on the road (three starts). Meanwhile, Owings is 3-3 with a 5.66 ERA in seven starts at Chase Field.
The under is 6-1 in McClung?s seven starts this year, the lone ?over? coming in Friday?s game at Minnesota. The under is also 4-2-1 in Owings? seven home games. Additionally, the under is on runs of 6-2 for Milwaukee overall (3-1 last four), 8-3 for Milwaukee as an underdog, 7-1-2 for Arizona overall, 11-5-1 for Arizona as a favorite and 7-4-1 in this rivalry.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Boston (50-36) at Tampa Bay (51-32)
Scott Kazmir (7-3, 2.2Cool toes the rubber as the first-place Rays go for a three-game sweep against the Red Sox. Tampa Bay held off Boston 5-4 on Monday and 3-1 on Tuesday and now leads the division by 2? games. The Rays, who also sport baseball?s best record, have won 11 of their last 14 games overall, going 7-1 in the last eight. They?re also on an incredible 28-6 roll at Tropicana Field, and they?re 42-18 in their last 60 games as a favorite.
The Red Sox, who hand the ball to Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-1, 3.21) tonight, have lost four in a row (all on the road), and they?re now 17-37 in their last 54 contests on an artificial surface and 3-9 in their last 12 as an underdog.
The host is on a 12-0 run in this rivalry, with the home team winning all 11 meetings this year. Boston still owns an astounding 98-45 record in the last 143 clashes against the Rays, but it has lost six straight at Tampa dating to 2007.
Kazmir picked up a victory in Pittsburgh on Friday despite lasting just five innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits in Tampa?s 10-5 rout. Although the southpaw hasn?t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 11 starts this season, he has a 4.11 ERA in his last three trips to the mound, failing to get out of the sixth inning in any of those contests.
Kazmir has shined at home this year, going 4-1 with a 1.24 ERA in six starts, holding five of those six foes to one or no runs. In 18 career starts against the Red Sox, he?s 6-6 with a 2.82 ERA, but going back to last year, the Rays are 2-5 when Kazmir goes against Boston, including a 7-3 loss in Beantown in his season debut on May 4.
Matsuzaka bounced back from his first loss of the season ? an ugly 9-3 home setback to the Cardinals in which he gave up seven runs in one-plus innings ? with a dominating effort Friday at Houston. He gave up two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings en route to a 6-1 win over the Astros. With that effort, the right-hander improved to 4-0 with a 2.20 ERA in six road starts this year.
Matsuzaka faced Tampa Bay five times in his rookie season last year, going 1-3 with a 4.09 ERA, including 0-2 with a 4.26 ERA in three outings at Tropicana Field.
The under is 4-1-1 in Matsuzaka?s six road starts this year, 5-1 in Kazmir?s six home outings and 6-2 in Kazmir?s last eight efforts versus Boston. Also, the under is 6-2-1 in Boston?s last nine games overall, 8-4-2 in Boston?s last 14 against winning teams and 23-9-1 in Tampa?s last 33 home games. Finally, in this rivalry, the under has cashed in five of the last six meetings at Tropicana Field, the lone ?over? coming when Monday?s 5-4 contest barely topped the posted total.

Bucs' starter Van B. has been on the shelf since May and is in a tough spot in his return as he faces a power-packed Reds' team looking to bounce back off last night's x-tra inning loss. Even with that win Pittsburgh is 17-51 against the money line in road games vs. a good bullpen whose ERA is 3.75 or better over the last 3 seasons.

HONDO A C.C. RIDER
Hondo, who'd been blistering hot lately, was de prived of taking another victory lap last night when Brutal Borowski of the Tribe gave it up to the Chisox in the 10th to reduce the big fat bankroll to 575 luzinskis.
Tonight, he'll stick with the Native Americans and say, "Si!" to C.C., you see? Ten units on Sabathia.

SCOTT FERRALL
YANKEES -170 over Rangers--Ponson won't let Texas sweep the Bombers in the Bronx. He'll beat his old team out of revenge for them dumping him. He's glad to be back with the Yanks
Kansas City +110 over Baltimore--Meche over Cabrera in Camden. I'm on THE UNDER 9 RUNS
TAMPA -145 over Boston--Dice K hasn't been sharp and Kazmir is lights out in St.Pete. The Rays finish off the sweep-amazing !
Cleveland -110 over CHI SOX--CC Sabathia over Contreras and take the UNDER 8 RUNS. Sabathia has been great lately !
Seattle (even odds) over Toronto--Washburn gets the Mariners a rare win. McGowan will stumble on the road

Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox
Wednesday, July 2nd, 8:10 PM ET
The Indians have lost all five meetings with the White Sox here at US Cellular Field, but tonight they have CC Sabathia on their side. The hefty lefty is auditioning himself for a potential trade and has done quite the job so far as the Tribe has won each of his previous four starts. In two of those outings, including the last, he allowed no runs and he's worked into the 7th on all four occasions. Counterpart Contreras has an ERA of 8.44 his last three starts.
