Cincinnati Reds at Washington Nationals.
Starting pitchers: (CIN) Bronson Arroyo 4-11 team record 7-15
Arroyo maybe disappointing to most but he is a pitcher with potential. He did not get a decision in his last outing against Chicago Cubs pitching 7.2 innings 4 hits 2 runs 5 K's 1 BB and no HR and he is pitching quality.
(WAS) John Lannan will attempt another debut because of the ejection in his first try. He seemed to have moved quickly through the system so I would say his two seamer and change up must be getting better. I understand he also throws a curve.
Quality pitching 6 of last 7 is solid. Backing Reds.

Cook and the Rox are in Florida facing Olsen and the Marlins. Olsen will probably do better than his last outing maybe work 6 innings or so and keep things interesting. Cook on the other hand is coming off a gem and duplicating his last outing would be a tall order, but he is throwing with sinking action that's producing ground outs in bunches. I love ground ballers and Rox are hitting pretty good right now too.

Toronto Blue Jays at Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Listed Pitchers: TB Andy Sonnanstine (RHP) team record 1-6.
Last outing: (L) Against Baltimore allowed 5 runs and seven hits in 6 innings, struck out 4 and walked three. His team has recorded 9 losses and 1 win in his 10 starts. Devil Rays have not supported Andy on the mound though he is eating innings, 6 to 7 innings pitched in 9 out of 10 and pitching quality 50% 5 out of 10. This pitcher does pose threat to Toronto, but hard luck pitcher on a hard luck team with bull pen that will cough up runs is tough to back.
Listed Pitcher: TOR Dustin McGowan (RHP) team record 8-7
Last Outing: (W)Against Minnesota pitched a gem allowed no runs with 4 hits in 7.1 innings issuing three walks and 5 strike outs. He was encouraged to mix all of his pitches to keep hitters off balance and strung two wins since making adjustments. He does have 5 games giving up 5~6 earned runs in his seven of his losses to go with 9 quality outings.
I think this will be a late inning game. The play is very popular Toronto Blue Jays with 7-3 record in last 10 games Tampa Bay Devil Rays playing 2-8 in last 10 games. Jays are out scoring their opponents by 4.2 runs in last 7 games while D-Rays are losing by 5.3 runs in last 7.

So do you guys like the listed pitchers to start the breakdown? I always figured numbers are all public information and you don't need to get them from me, but putting the perspective into a page is helpful. I'm a bit short on time so I'll get to the point.
Yankees at O's
You know when the Yanks beat teams by +10 runs and go on a winning streak they really look unbeatable. It's that two horse race in AL East and I have a feeling Yanks will be sticking around. With all the Boston & New York attention it's easy t0 over look losing division rivals so when Yankees match up with Baltimore most will take Yanks with money man Wang, but if NYY have a seasonal nemesis this year it's Baltimore. Take a close look at Wang's ground ball to fly ball ratio he's not getting as many to roll outs like he's was doing and elevating his pitches. Cabrera had his stuff going last outing and O's bats are coming around.
Taking a good size home dog in today early game.

Listed Pitchers: TOR Josh Towers (RHP) team record 6-6
Last outing: (W) Against Seattle allowed no runs and three hits in 6.2 innings, struck out 4 and walked two. His team has recorded a loss and 4 wins in five prior starts. Blue Jays have been impressive with Towers on the mound going 5-1 in last 6 games. Fast working pitcher is either on or off and not much in between and he has recorded 50% quality starts in those 6 games. Going beyond past 6 games his team has recorded 3 wins out of 12 games.
Listed Pitcher: CWS Jon Garland (RHP) team record 7-13
Last Outing: (L)Against Red Sox on the road allowed six runs in just 4 2/3 innings after issuing five walks and surrendering a pair of three-run home runs. He was looking to win one game prior when Jenks gave up the winning run to Cleveland, did win 2 prior to Baltimore but pen almost blew that one too and a melt down at home against Minnesota. Throw out 2 clunkers and Garland is pitching strong 13 quality starts out of 18, 5 quality outing out of last 7.
I know Blue Jays are rolling right now looking balanced with good pitching and timely offense but I not sold on Towers bring his "A" game today. Being on the road is another minus.

Listed Pitchers: SDP David Wells (LHP) team record 9-10
Last outing: (L) Against Phillies allowed seven runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings, struck out one and walked two. His team has recorded wins in four prior starts. Wells finds quality pitching hard to come on the road with 8 games he has registered only 1 quality start while recording winning percentage of 50%.
Listed Pitcher: HOU Wandy Rodriguez (LHP) team record 9-10
Last Outing: (L)Against Pirates on the road allowed 6 runs on 7 hits 4 earned struck out 6 walked one and no home runs. He was crushed one game prior in Chicago but 2 wins in 2 strong outings at home before Chicago. Rodriguez is a home pitcher recording 7 quality starts out of 9 home starts. His record at home is 5-2 with team record of 7-2.
I suspect the numbers will catch up with David Wells today. Padres pitching strength is diminishing getting hit by the Phillies at home series and getting hit at Colorado on the road series.

Drays at Yanks. I lost this match up back in July 12th as Yanks blasted 3 long balls off of James Shields that was more than enough even with Andy Pettitte lasting only 5.2 innings. Both starters coming off good games. Yanks schooled Drays on Saturday in day night double header with second game being no contest also lost Crawford for Sunday. Yanks once again poised to take the series but my contrarian stance will be a selection on the Underdog.
Placed offer for Drays +188. Check back before game to see if I get this.
Sorry for late return. I guess you know this line dropped 10 points and didn't get a nibble at +188. Money chased this line and people got burned. That's a lucky break for me and never chase fast moving lines.
St Louis at Atlanta will feature Live betting on MatchBook so I will keep tab and post plays most likely on Underdog propositions. 20:05 EST game time. I like Atlanta and Under 9.5 but we shall see.
There was nothing I liked so there was no play. Good game though.

Good thing Escobar was able to shut down the Rays in their last game of the series or they would of got swept.

Closing in on game time for me. Let's do this!
Not a complete Oakland fade, but fade all the same. I wouldn't chase the Under 9 today that's very suspect IMO.
One subject I've been talking to some close friends is the impact of a Catcher indifference. When a regular team catcher takes a day off or when there is team catcher problem it creates a overcasting change to the outlook or consistency in Pitching, this is the case for A's today using Suzuki, which is huge when you consider how much pitcher is considered in a game. Unfamiliar battery will collapse a pitcher who has strung good games. A's dealing Kendall to Cubs and gambling on Suzuki is a turning point that will bury this season, you know they're counting on Piazza to be healthy for the 2nd half, IMO. I will admit overlooking the catcher indifference yesterday. And look what happened to the Dodgers too.

I'm fishing the over night line. Check back later to see if I got it.
It's 10:50 PST Tuesday morning and all I got was a nibble not enough to buy a hamburger. Who bets these amount? Mind as well buy a lottery ticket instead. I'm not ready to buy at market yet making some adjustments and fishing some more.
It's 13:50 PST now playing cat and mouse with the line. I'm going to keep watch but running out of time to publish the play. I was looking to take 2 units and now the price has gone up.
Many are well aware of Oakland woes going 1-9 in their last 10 with 8 consecutive losses A’s bats have gone cold. Oakland faders have been rolling, but Texas 18-30 record on the road might be getting second thoughts. Robinson Tejada is second biggest money loser in Rangers pitching staff and he will come in with a hefty 1.74 WHIP
Oakland A’s in need to stop the bleeding will send their top money maker Chad Gaudin. He may not be their best pitcher (10 quality starts out of 19) but his team is 13-6 when he takes the mound.
So am I taking Oakland? Well no, although this looks to be a good spot I need to see some offensive life from Oakland. Texas is 7-3 in their last 10 playing against very strong opponents.
My selection today is the Under 9 in this game. Texas O/U 2-9-1 in July with bull pen looking strong.

I thought Giants might of had some chance to take the first game against Dodgers. Glad I didn't feel strongly enough to put money on them. Dodger pounded the Giants late in the game and I don't think they'll wait that long today.
That was easy, NOT! But won it anyway.

The game I'm playing is Oakland A's at Minnesota Twins with two young promising pitchers Gaudin and Baker. Given the recent outlook Twin & Baker is getting the money for sides and it's picked up steam this morning. I made a offer on the overnight for A's +120, which was way outside the trading range, and got a hit this morning. Why Oakland? Pen is shaky and if decided in the late inning Twins have advantage or if A's are trailing late there's little chance. Edge in key areas all point to Twins, but A's are my pick today. I look for Baker to run out of gas early and though he has excelled he does not have the out pitch and stamina. I also think Oakland players are progressing under the radar as they have done in the past.

A game I didn't pull the trigger but did have a look of play is New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Tampa is playing basement ball but their talent pool should perform better than what they've shown. Now Shields on the mound for D-Rays is their No#1 guy which may not mean much with Yankees in town but his opposition Andy Pettite has some steroid speculation swirling around him. There are no proof but his growth sprout along with his wins combined during the steroid years are spreading the rumors. I guess there's some sort of crash coming off the stuff, which is another speculation coupled with Andy's pitching woes, and his pitching does not look like the stuff he's always had. I'm sure this is not just me watching with betting eyes there is noticeable decline. Tampa is so pesky against the Yankees but under +150, I did fish for it with +147, is no play.
I will keep tabs on Andy.

Allow me to elevate. I like this match up with Baltimore at Texas. Veteran Milwood will take on the wild and hard throwing Cabrera. Milwood is pitching much better I think he'll give Rangers a chance at the Ballpark in Arlington. Cabrera throwing strikes is very dangerous but question is will he be throwing strikes? Texas bats are hungry after a shut out and if they can get into hitters count this should be Rangers game.

Chicago Cubs at Washington Nationals. Pitching for Cubs Marshall good numbers on the road in a rebound spot. Pitching for Nationals Bergman came out early with limited pitch count in Atlanta 6/25 and got knocked out in Pittsburgh 6/30 with command issues. I wouldn't bet on him to be well today although I don't think the starters will get the decision. Cubs are still surging and getting closer to Brewers. Brew are failing in Pittsburgh as I write. Chicago Cubs takes this match.

Angels with Escobar at Rangers with Tejeda. Watch out for this game I think Rangers are a live dog. Angels have been playing tired baseball as I watched them play mediocre ball through Kansas, Baltimore and now Texas. I like Kelvim he's one of top starter for Angels, but he fell apart in his last start and Ballpark at Arlington has always given him trouble. Tejeda has been a costly proposition but he does fair OK against the Halos.

Coming off a disappointing night but that's the nature of the beast. Crunch the games right and after the long haul you should be in the plus and I say should because it doesn't hurt to have some luck too.
Minny at Bronx with two groundballers taking the mound, Wang and Silva, Yanks look to regain their footing. Wang is NY's best starter he had the ND rain out game in Baltimore and ND Yanks loss to Giants, but now he's back in Bronx where he last beat the Mets 6 hits 2 runs over 8 innings getting everything in the ground. Silva has been showing flashes of his sinker ball talent and it's ever more evident after coming off a mediocre outing.

July baseball sizzles on. What's on my menu today? The blue plate special is Baltimore O's Birds at Chicago White Sox. Baltimore pitcher Erik Bedard comes in 2-0 in last 3 starts with very good 0.70 WHIP and 1.80 ERA bats are coming alive batting .376 against lefties. Looking back O's took the series from failing Yankees and played tight against Major leading Angels. The problem here with the O's for me is that they will finish the first half on the road (16-24) O's top weapon Mora was out at the plate in final game against Angels getting a bruised left foot on that play, Tejada's been out since 6/22 and good as Erik has pitched his team record is 9-8, 4-1 away record also misleading as team has lost 3 out of last 5 away starts. First match up with White Sox after such valiant Baltimore effort against Angels may lead to today's let down spot. I will acknowledge Chicago 15-21 at home but they seem to have turned the tide on the road. White Sox have a bit of a momentum beating KC series and Tampa sweep. Mark Buehrle has been strong and pitching deep. White Sox are 10-5 with Buehrle on the mound and Mark is 4-1 in 7 career start against Orieoles.

KC swept the Angels at the Big A! That is impressive. The White Sox also comes to this series having swept the D-Rays. Looking at these two teams they are two games apart with Royals surging in June. Are White Sox the hunted? I gave this question some consideration and decided Royals are the hunted. White Sox have returned some stability in their bull pen and the meat of the line up showing signs of life. I also think Royals caught the Angels at the right time with luck on their side. Backing the big Cuban tonight.

A game I'm watching the movement is San Diego at Dodger stadium. This game with division implications comes as a rare Dodger home underdog. This is due to Young's sparkling record on the road combined with day of rest and tough road trip schedule with no rest for Dodgers. How about Quo? He's not consistent and unpredictable. Fundamental reason would give Pads the edge. I believe Dodgers will not fare well against Young tonight the other part of the equation is will Pads be able to hit Quo? Not much power in their line up Pads will need to manufacture runs even if Quo is not effective Dodger bull pen can shut it down for 4 innings. I still have time with this late game.

Taking a shot with Cincy tonight. I know Phillies rarely loses two straight at home and bounces back well after giving up more than 5 runs in previous game. Adam Eaton had a rough outing in his last start, but he too recovers well in following game. Nothing jumps out in this match up and many may side with Phillies at Moneyline -150 to -200 range being 12-2 in last 14 and 7-0 at home. But I think Belisle will do OK both teams swinging hot bats and I don't think we're looking at a pitchers duel. I look to sneak this one by the bookies and look for the dog to win when the dust settles.

Texas Rangers come in swinging good bats Kameron Loe's put two quality outings back to back but it was the Tigers that took him apart in 2.2 innings (6/7 @Texas 11-4 on 9 hits 9 runs earned on 75 pitches) I may take the 10 total with plus numbers as well.

Marlins at White Sox is the tale of two teams on a skid. Hard luck teams taken by injuries, taxed bull pens and being emotionally drained. Is this game even worth playing? Not if you lean to White Sox there's no value and proposition is shaky at best with compromised production.
At first I liked the White Sox with Garland 10-0 in day light facing Mitre and Fish. Losing D-Train on Tuesday after 1 inning Florida pen is very thin giving edge to Sox in late game, what am I saying? Late inning losses have come at the expense of Chicago 2-5 in last 7 games straight. White Sox led all 7 games before dropping 5 of those.

No# 2 Yanks in AL East is 8 games back of Boston and Jays are 10.5 games with Tampa at 12.5 games back playing below .500 ball No#3 is worth shit. Dodgers playing tight baseball sending Brad Penny 8-1 with 2.18 ERA, 4-1 with 3.29 ERA on road he is in All Star form.

I'm taking Toronto at SF today and this game is set to go 15:00 ET. The first two games of this interleague series was decided by one run both going to Giants. I think McGowan will give the edge over rookie Tim Lincecum. Both pens pitching tough but both were taxed yesterday.
Time for Blue Jays to break out of 1-7 record against SF.
TOR +130 for 1 unit(W)
Game is in bottom of 6th Toronto up 7-1 so far so good.
My play has been getting better heading into the Summer and this is where I want to be hopefully En Fuego in mid to late Summer. This blog has become more for me than anything else BetCrimes is keeping busy and available at cappingthegame.com forum Batis is a busy working man. Reading audience has declined since Neteller US fall out and I'm not active in any of the public forum sites. My old friends maybe able to tell I'm still alive, but I'm not able to take time to discuss selections and angles on consistent basis. I guess I should get back on some forums but like I said it's more for me. I'm not trying to sway or push anything the start was to show selective process having advantage, but I no longer or seldom explain how I arrived at the conclusion like relating to a third party. If you are following these episodes I am doing my home work as I back up all posted plays and some un-posted one's too. Plays have been reduced from daily to not quite everyday, sometimes take few days off, but don't worry I will return and unit amount has been increased. Let's all have a good Summer.

I see a Dodger sweep coming at the expense of Mets. When are cappers going to acknowledge Mets slump? I keep seeing Mets pick against the Dodgers and this has been going on for the whole series. Come on it's big Brad Penny on the mound you guys are going to risk Sosa you better have +130 or better cuz there's not much to go on with New York.

Coming home after getting swept at San Diego with last game of the series being a bull pen melt down?

Like the Rockies today against Houston Astros. Jason Hirsh for the Rox had a rough outing he'd like to forget the last time out, 4.2 innings pitched 8 hits 8 earned runs throwing 22.1 pitchers per inning, he said he didn't have anything. These games can linger in cappers mind especially when this guy's done it twice in his last 10 games, 5/9 in St Louis throwing 106 pitches in 4 innings 5 hits 3 earned but he's held his ground splitting the other 8 games 4-4 plus the pen has been remarkably good and bats have improved from both sides. Rockies 7-3 last 10.
Wandy Rodriguez for the Astros got knocked around too the last time out. He is capable of pitching better but has shown little endurance in May and Houston pen is shaky. Bats are not consistent with OPS jumping all over last 10 games. Astros 2-8 last 10.

I've taken a contrarian look at Yanks continuing road trip and they are in Chicago South Side today. Clemens was supposed to make his start but he's been scratched. It's De Salvo on the mound today. In the Red Sox game yesterday Yanks looked like they were in a dog fight and they didn't give up after loosing the lead. Scoring off Red Sox's top relief guy Okajima to get back in it and A-Rod blasting the go ahead homer was classic Yankees. For today's match up it might of taken a bit too much from Yanks to take on another struggling team in a similar situation Yankees were with the Red Sox series. Yanks have taken the Boston series 2-1 and comes in to Chicago winning 3 of last 4, but having to call up DeSalvo from the minors after not working out is a grasp for Yanks. White Sox need a win badly as they came back from the road 1-6. They will give the ball to Jon Garland and I expect him to step up for this first game. Only I'm not sure if he'll receive the run support. I'm going with DeSalvo playing through high wire act and minimizing damage while White Sox bats squeeze out runs to take this game in maybe something like 3-4 or 3-5 type final.

It's been a nice Sunday Games. Weather is a bit overcast not much to do and normally I would preach against playing big game unless something pretty solid comes along. Another excuse for me is MLB in early June is not that big even with Yankees and Red Sox.
There is one more game but it is the Game. New York Yankees with Andy Pettite 9-5 number against the Sox he is reliable guy to keep you in game and may not factor into the outcome.
The Red Sox will call on Josh Beckett 8-0 with his team 9-0 he is the big gun but keep in mind Yanks knocked him around last time back in April and a early exit 5/13 (that was skin inflammation on his finger no big deal) This game comes when Yanks are struggling and every game is full of questions while Red Sox have that swagger. I would not be surprised of a 1 run difference but my play will be on Red Sox at home

Tigers are still playing tough enough baseball to beat most of the Majors they just ran into a buzz saw of red hot Indians and they will take out the Devil Rays at Tropicana tonight.
Durbin has been strong for the Tigers with excellent run support when he is on the mound.
Tigers are batting .306 in the month of May best in the Majors.
Rays hold the 2nd best record against Detroit with 34-34 but number has been on the slide 5-10 last 2 seasons and 0-3-1 last 4.

I was planning to attend this game but not sure if I'll make it.
It's the rubber match at Dodger stadium. Wolf is having very good outings this season and he is undefeated at home in May pitching 1.85 and 1.59 in day light. His opponent Rich Hill of the Cubs is having trouble after starting the season 3-1 with 1.77 in April. May has been especially hard, but I wouldn't say his stuff is all that bad lefties and right are hitting just 2.05/2.04. His day light number reflecting much of April is 0.69 anyway it wasn't the pitchers that caught my interest. The look of this series how it's shaped up coming into Sunday's game regardless of both teams winning 1 each Cubs are the hunted. They have been pressured throughout game 1 and 2, if you don't see it that way I welcome your comment, but I see Dodgers closing this one out.

Doing some early morning fishing offering +108 on Cubs at Dodgers Under 8 for the Saturday day light game with Zambrano for Chicago tall ass Hendrickson for the home team. Not sure if I'll get this lines are moving to 8.5 and I've made some adjustments from +106 to current +108 Matchbook lacks early liquidity making positioning difficult. Sometimes I just miss Pinny like a perfect girl that's walked out of my life.
*waiting on CHC/LAD OVER 8 at -108
It's bottom of 8th with Kent about to pinch hit with bases loaded 2 outs.
Before this at bat I will tell you I never got this wager in. The money moved away and I could not get back in time to adjust.
Struck out inning over. Last inning with score 4-2 Cubs chance of Over is looking slim.
I hate looking like a cheater here but that's the fact and line was moving towards 8.5 so if you stayed off after the line change no damage.
Wow, Dodgers had 2 on base with 1 out and Killer Tomato at bat! too bad he hit the first pitch grounded into 6-4-3 DP to end the game. LA Dodgers do not go away quietly had Lou sweating bullets. We'll get'em tomorow! (*that me as a Dodger fan).

I thought Padres had that game last night. Funny how these bad turns still irk my nerves that's why I got the link to "You can't always get what you want" Love the Stones.
Take me out to the ball park tonight. Cubs are in town with Lilly taking the ball we'll counter with Derek Lowe. Dodgers 9-2 in last 11 home game. Though Lilly is pitching well run production has been scarce for Cubs while Dodgers are heating up again at home with OPS on rise. LA 12-3 in last 15 after allowing 2 runs or less. 8-2 last 10 as home favorites.

Taking a small shot with the Angels with my boy Jered Weaver taking on the Yanks in Bronx.
It's always risky going against them in Bronx and they always seem to pull out pitchers from nowhere shutting down opponents. NY bats are also heating up crossing + 1.000 OPS 4 in last 5 games while failing to do so in previous 5 games. Yet I feel Weaver is a proven commodity able to keep Angels in game with Shields and K-Rod available plus Angels are fearless against the Yankees giving them equal battles in recent seasons.

Haven't had chance to breakdown the baseball games in a while, but that's not due to lack of interest. I've even knocked down some MLB winners during my writing absence. Sometimes it's difficult to sit down and post a selection on timely basis. OK no more excuses moving on with today's game.
Cubbies at Padres. listed pitchers Jason Marquis and Chris Young. I'll go with Young tonight. yep Young not Marquis. Padres SP is solid to go with top notch pen.

Question I asked myself after Tigers lost last night "should I consider chasing?" Something to think about when two contenders are matched up, but Wake is a hot pitcher against Verlander who's not quite in form so I'll pass on tonight's feature match up and move on to Minute Maid park. Giants will send Matt Morris and Houston will counter with Woody Williams. Astros look like they are getting better with Woody improving and bats starting to connect, but I will back the Giants coming off a romp in Denver than getting recharged with a day off.
GIANTS ML +108 for 2 units(L)
If your interested in late baseball action consider Angels with Escobar pitching at Safeco going against King Felix return from DL. Remember Milwood with Texas was coming off DL too and I'm not predicting another re injury, but Felix will be on a short leash and Angels are playing hot baseball. Take the Angels on a late game advantage with value.

I'm going with a tough road dog Detroit Tigers money line. They got knocked around yesterday by the Twins, but they are sparkling 13-6 on road. Nate Robertson comes off rough outing yet he is still better away also keeps lefties in check. Plus is his number against Big Papi (0.17 career number 1 for 14) is second best in Majors. Dice-K makes the game interesting, but I don't see any mythical "Gyroball" mowing down batters. Baltimore had the Sox on the ropes last night and Tigers will have their number tonight.

Days are getting hotter and fires are burning in SoCal you know it's baseball season.
Aside from Clemens joining the Yankees to help the badly needed rotation this game continues.
I'm looking at two games today, one which I will play and other I will keep an eye on.
Boston at Toronto with two Japanese pitcher showing contrast in MLB. For Jays will be Tomo Ohka, battle tested veteran right hander acquired from Brewers during off season at bargain basement price compared to his Red Sox counter part Dice-K Matsuzaka. The highly touted Japanese rookie is depreciating and yet the market continues to prop his price. I like the home dog and will watch this line.

Pirates at Cubs (Gronzelanny vs Marquis) I like Jason Marquis current pitching form. He's pitching in a zone and may string few more winners. Cubs let one get away yesterday and they will take one back today.

Byrd is back to eating up innings scattering hits and expect more of the same. His losing record against Baltimore should not matter today.

Lost my only play yesterday. Had plenty to gripe about the loss and you know the games, get 11 hits cash in 2 runners when you have the Over, type of games. But smart thing I did was taking a time out instead of getting right back on the capping horse maybe making plays on over night line. In any case don't play when your upset about losses it doesn't help.
Hopefully it helps my pick. Angels with Santana at KC with De La Rosa is one of those games with Royals line looking sharp. But problem is it's not hitting, yeah it hit against Weaver and Mariners, but it's lost more. So they are at home, Angels Scot Shield and K-Rod has been used and it's a miserable rain off and on thunder storm heading at night. KC due for a win, Halo due for a loss?
I just know Angels are hitting and they kick KC's ass more times than not.

Jered pitched a good game yesterday, but Jeff did not and the Weaver brothers continue they're different path. Well I have plays on Angel's and Seattle's game.
Escobar takes the mound for the Angels against the South Siders and Sox will counter with their big gun Mark Buehrle. Interesting note to this game is both pitchers have struggled against their respective match up (Buehrle 1-3 4.16 ERA against Angels and Escobar 2-9 5.93 ERA against White Sox) But no matter pitching is setting the tone and both pens looks good to go. Expecting a improved outing with Escobar and the outcome to be close.
CHI/LAA UNDER 9 at -105 for 2 units(W)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
KC at Seattle will feature starter fill in and project in progress. Baek filling in for King Felix and Bannister is a call up who Bell said is expected to stay in the bigs for awhile so not too much emphasis will be put on his first start. Pen will get action in this game and I like the chance on the Over.

I'm fishing for a good ML price on Braves at Rockies. Taking Smoltz on the road and if the line looks square to you maybe you caught Hirsh's last game in San Diego where he shined against Maddux. Jason Hirsh is no doubt a good young pitcher with a nice curve mixing in change ups with his fastball and lefties are only hitting .200 too bad Smoltz will look to redeem himself where he is 10-4 against the Rox.
Braves are getting -115 or about so I'm shooting for -110 or better.
ATL ML -109 2 units(W)
-------------------------------------------------
Another game I like, but have not pulled the trigger, is BOS/NYY Over 11. How many Overs does the Yankees have? Karstens will tax the bull pen once again and New York enters another game where they're option is to out score the opponents rather than to out pitch.
Not ready to take this yet as Red Sox UNDER on the road is stronger than Yankees OVER at home.
Didn't take it.
-------------------------------------------------
Something about Weaver of Angels...I recall watching his older brother (now with Seattle) in amazement when he first came up. Array of arsenals he pitched with command and he could drop down on you with the sweeping side arm I thought he was going to be really good, but mediocrity in result will water down all that good stuff. Ok, no more talk of bad genes.
Jered had a late start and needs to put in more innings he is pitching well with no physical problem with his biceps. It's just those bad inning with +30 pitches that's costing him game.
Alright Garland will go up for Chi Sox and Angels are his nemesis. Angels are showing losses on the road, but showing better bat and pen is tops in Majors. Time to turn it around.

Giants vs Dodgers is always a good match up no matter how the two teams are in the standings.
Dodgers had owned this match up in Los Angeles but I guess they forgot to tell the Giants that last night (6-4 G-Men). 3rd of the series is another good one with Penny going against Russ Ortiz the heavy underdog. I like the Under in this match up both pitcher are able to pitch deep, bull pens are good and the money is pushing the number from 8 to 8.5 Dodgers recent Over run (4-1 O/U last 5) combined with strong home Over trend (7-3 O/U) and Barry Bonds popping HR's hitting .433 in last 10 games will give this Under better than fair value. Keep in mind Giants playing 5-13 O/U I like the Under, but also looking for better price with a higher total.
What is up with Matchbook!? They are refusing to give SFG/LAD TOTAL 8.5 and holding at 8 with Over getting heavy juice. I see Pinnacle offering Under 8.5 at +107, to non-US customers, doing me no good. I'm going to hold off for 8.5 and if it doesn't happen I'll have to call it.
Since I'm waiting on Giants/Dodgers total I'll put one more that's available to take.
Cincy ML at -104 looks good to take early.

I checked out the game early and chalked it up as a winner, WTF do I know.
Making a late addition, Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles. It's a square play on Boston with Beckett going against Cabrera. I do like Cabrera on the mound he eats up innings, but you have to watch his performance fluctuation he can get bit wild. I expect Beckett to rise to expectation he received when he first came to Boston and that is a high bar.
BOS -137 for 2 units(W)
BTW, Phil Hughes pitching for the Yankees have a live arm. Quiet kid cruised through Spring Training good enough to make the 5th spot on the rotation. Joe Torre said we should not see this kid early as he wanted to groom him in triple A unless the Yanks get into trouble. Well, Yanks are on the slide and they need to stop the bleeding. Looking forward to seeing the kid pitch in Bronx. I would back this if not for the inflated price Yankees bring to money line. I'd say majority has little idea of Hughes, but they are counting on Yanks being due.
I'm glad I stayed off the Under at Dodger stadium.

It's going to be a nice day in Los Angeles. It's a kind of day you want to pick up your bat & glove and head out to the nearest park. Hope everyone caught the Yanks vs BoSox series. Do they have game or what? The season is still young and that was just an appetiser keep your eyes on American League East.
I have a theory on Yanks and Red Sox, especially after a series like that, it drains the teams.
So we have D-Rays taking on the Yanks (Over 10~10.5 is a popular pick) Yanks will send Kei Igawa to the mound and he is hittable, but this is not my pick because New York lost the Boston series there is a good chance for Yanks to take this game regardless of pitching.
My take is on Toronto at Boston. Big Dog Blue Jays might be tempting too bad their pen is too risky to support any lead although I think the runs will be tough tonight. Boston before the NY series played out an Under series with Toronto and they are still a Under trending team. Toronto on it's recent form is not driving in runs. The key will be Ohka pitching as deep into the game as possible and he is capable of going 7 innings.
TOR/BOS UNDER 10 at +111 for 1 unit(Push)
TOR/BOS UNDER 10.5 at +109 for 2 units(W)
Blue Jays was the easy play and at better price, but in the end "W" is all that counts.
--------------------------------------------------
I'm also taking White Sox at KC. I know the Royals line looks sharp and they did it to me when I backed Minny, but when Sox get going they will string some W's and that's what I'm after.

Have two plays today.
Minny at KC seems kind of square. Pitchers are more or less average, but on the strength Twins momentum and KC losing ways.
MIN ML -115 for 3 units(L)
Very square indeed
--------------------------------------------------------------
Toronto at Baltimore is a interesting match up. Toronto will send AJ Burnett who is not locating and throwing too many pitches. I do not trust his arm playing on the road. Cabrera is looking like the O's work horse capable of holding his own at home. O's pen has been shutting down the opponents and line up is hitting RHP well.

In the American League game, Indians vs Yankees backing the Total score to go Over 11. Rasner for the Yanks is a fill in and a work in progress. Carmona for the Indians is a cusp starting pitcher Cleveland has been tinkering with. I'll look for the bats to stay hot.
CLE/NYY OVER 11 at -111 for 2 units(W)

MLB Monday
Back to Monday again. Man, this weather is really screwing baseball schedule for lots of teams.
I'm glad not to have backed Angels this morning in Boston. Santana is getting killed again, but the Over is looking good with all the wind whipping around. Right now it's 6-1 Boston top of 4th.
I'm going with the total Brewers at Reds. Numbers point to weak pitching on both sides setting a high total in a National League game. I will roll with it.
MIL/CIN OVER 9 at -101 for 2 units(W)
Brewers being a road favorite is not right. Milton with the Reds might be a meatball pitcher, but the line up can out hit the Brew Crew and Capuano has little success in early season. Taking the home dog to bite.
CIN +111 for 1 unit(L)

MLB Spring Exhibition games
2 games I'm playing today.
Brewers at White Sox. Guys are getting sent down and this game holds some travel advantage for the Sox playing in Tucson. Getting better price than any other books on the net.
CHI -112 for 2 units(W)

Devil Rays at Reds. I don't need to say much about this match up do I? Tampa Bay has shown very little in the spring. Kind of expensive, but Reds should win hands down.

Tuesday MLB Houston vs Atlanta
This looks like a good card for today's exhibition game at Kissimmee, Florida.
Astros take a short trip to The Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex to meet up with Atlanta Braves. Pitchers are having longer outing as players are getting sent down.
On the mound Hudson for Braves and Oswalt for Astros. Taking the Stros as the visiting dog.

Yankees travel to Brandenton today to face Paul Maholm and the Pirates. I think Maholm is headed for a winning 2007 season. He will face Kei Igawa who is known as a slow starter. Igawa is not pitching like he was in Japan during his Hashin Tiger days. He was a mid 85~86 mph fastball guy with good change up to keep the hitters off balance. Now he is throwing harder in the 90's and pitching off balance, according to Posada. I would attribute that to Igawa trying to impress his new team doing more than he should. Until he settles down I expect more of the same type of outing in his last game, hard time hitting the strike zone.
I've also learned Yankees will be without Giambi, Jeter and Matsui today.

Grapefruit League
I've got to watch couple of Yankee games, one at Legends field and another at Progressive Energy field, my feeling is the projected line up is not quite up to to their potential. I was expecting Yankees to run up the score against the D-Rays, but Shields did a pretty good job.
A-Rod doesn't seem to be up to speed and Matsui doesn't seem to be up to speed. The Pitchers are looking pretty impressive though. If I was feeling bit more daring I would go against the Yanks and take a shot with visiting Pirates today, I think you can get the Bucs at +150 or so, but it looks like good chance of rain and I have not seen Mussina on the mound. Going against the National League at Legends field today Torre might mix the line up a bit and give some of the young guys a chance to play. That means good value for the visiting Bucs with short distance travel from Brandenton. One advantage I do have being in Tampa is I'll get a peak at the starting line up when it first comes out unfortunately I'm not going to carry my computer around so at this point this game is a no play. Too bad there's no totals for the games out NYY games have been low scoring for the first two games which is unusual for March games and very likely to erupt soon.
Another come from behind win for the Yanks second game in a row! The rain did come, but it didn't stop the game. I'll be looking forward to the match up with Detroit Tigers on Monday when the new Japanese pitcher Kei Igawa takes the mound. Tomorrow's game will feature Pavano on the mound for the Yanks on the away game, but no wager here as it looks like a split squad will go on the road trip.

Legends Fields where the grass is Greener
Today was the first day of live batting practice. Chilly weather has turned around and finally it's starting to feel like spring. No Bernie Williams at Yankees camp I guess he's rejecting minor league offer as non roster invitee. Roger Clemens sighting was reported at Astro's camp I've heard he's working out with his son. Boston camp is a total media circus.
It's not like I have some kind of insight just because I'm here in Florida, but it sure is fun.
Live batting practice will give future speculation into upcoming exhibition games with some tell tale signs as to who will be pitching when. It'll be an educated guess nothing else besides who can tell how these pitchers will perform. Oh yeah, Pavano threw some live ball as well as Pettite and Moose. The hot prospect for the Yanks pitching staff will be young Hughes. I'll be back with the other pitchers tomorrow.

Smell the Grass....No, I'm talking Baseball
It's a cool Feb. night here in Tampa, Florida. Pitchers and Catchers will be reporting soon. I'll be checking in on Yankees camp and few other places within driving distance. My interest will be with Yanks pitching hopefully there's telling tales in the spring for what will come in the summer. Days will warm up and it should be fun.

CARIBBEAN DREAMS 2007
Here we are 13 days away from Pitchers and Catchers reporting to camp, but in the meantime Caribbean Series is about to start. We have Hermosillo representing Mexico, Gigantes will represent Puerto Rico, Aragua represents Venezuela, and Aguilas the Dominican.
Venezuela and Dominica comes in with momentum. These two teams will match up in the early game. Dominica boasts the big league talent, but Venezuela can roll with the best. Jose Lima expected to start for Dominica and I'm backing the high total to go
Over.
Under is taking in some money. That was expected with big number like this so don't panic, 6-4 or 6-5 type game is not unusual in the free flowing Caribbean.
Venezuela/Dominica Over 9.5 (L)
That was a good game, but no where close to going Over.
