New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox.
Daisuke Matsuzaka affectionately known as Dice-K is rolling snake eyes, three's and box carts.
Dice K leading BoSox starters with money lost. 5 quality out of 12 home starts, 3 quality out of 7 Aug & Sep starts and only reason for Boston having a winning record of 8-4 with Dice K at home is because the bats are out slugging their opponents. I think Boston media is right on Dice K being out of gas. Pettite gets the call for New York he is 12 quality out of 16 road games better than 8 out of 14 at home. He is 5 quality out of last 7 and Yankees have won 6-1.

Kansas City Royal at Cleveland Indians
CC Sabathia looks like a man on mission 7 out of last 7 quality starts. Indians are 12-5 at home with CC getting the ball he has not given up more than 2 runs since July 29th (only 1 earned run) for more than 2 earned runs go back to July 19th.
As good and tough as he is KC has beat him twice and he needed a shut out to get the only win this season with 1-0 score. Bannister for KC is the top money pitcher even though he was clobbered by New York in last outing. He is 5 quality out of last 7, 9 quality out of 12 road games with KC taking 8 of the 14 winners on the road. Bannister has beaten the Indians 6/6 in Cleveland pitching 7 strong innings and backers got a nice +200 price on that contest.

Arizona Diamond Back at Los Angeles Dodgers.
Here is LA's top gun Brad Penny taking the mound he has earned more than 4 times Billingsley, who is 2nd money pitcher, with excellent 25 quality out of 30 games, 14 out of 17 home starts and Dodgers are 12-5 at home with Penny. I do see rising WHIP and ERA in Aug & Sep and there are declining tendencies in second half. Arizona is 19 games above .500 and they are winning games, 7-3 Sept and Davis is Arizona's top money pitcher, he's made more than double of Webb, with 19-11 team record and 4 quality out of last 7 D-Backs are 6-1. He has recorded 4 wins after 5 ND's. Arizona is 4-2 at Dodger Stadium this season and have faired well running 3 seasons now at 14-10. Zona as dogs 4 times in Sept is 3-1.
Take a chance on D-Backs as more pressure is on LA.

Tampa Bay at Seattle Mariners
This is the 5th meet of 7 games between these two teams. Felix Hernandez (12-7)will take the ball for the home team. He has pitched 3 quality out of last 7 and bit unpredictable as he alternates double digit hits with 5, 3, 4 and 6 hits in Sept. & Aug. but Mariners play winning ball with 6-1 record and if the pattern holds true he will have a good outing tonight. Mariners 10-4 at home with Felix. James Shield (12-8) will go for D-Rays. He is 6 quality out of last 7 games record of 4-1 with Rays winning 6-1. James pitched back to back 7 innings in Sept. and back to back 8 innings before that all won by D-Rays, but keep in mind the timing of his starts matched him with cold hitting Oakland, Baltimore *twice and Toronto. Seattle bats are heating up a bit. Mariners won the series in Tampa 3-2, won 4 straight and 8 of last 9 in Seattle.
