Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds.
Tonight's match up will feature two good young arms, Chad Billingsly and Johnny Cueto, both right handed pitchers making themselves known. Johnny Cueto with 79 innings under his belt has 50% quality starts, 62.5 at home and 3 wins out of last 4 starts. There is a pitch count issue along with long balls he's given up in last 3 starts.
Chad has thrown 77 innings, 40% quality starts, little better on the road at 50%, but not all is his doing with lacking run support. Dodgers are sliding and they're 13-23 away, 3-7 in last 10 games where as Reds are golden at home 21-14. So my thoughts on this game? Dodgers even with their consecutive losses and bad road record have the better product on the filed and Reds being offense oriented team which has cooled off has too many holes in their defense. Reds does hold the big bat advantage, but that's a risk I will have to take.

Sitting in a hotel room here in Houston looking forward to Wednesday matinee at Minute Maid park. Stinking hot and humid not too pleasant June in Texas some rain would be nice. At least I'm not here on my dollar and I will make a best of this trip.
Off the top, I think Brew crew takes the series away, Sheets coming off a mile high win will have his curve back in his arsenal. Brian Moehler pitched his best game this season and he may revert to a 5 inning pitcher. Brew Crew rising and Astros slipping.

It has been 10 days since my last confession. There's nothing wrong with my game. I've had my share of losses, but winners out number them. I do this religiously and have been doing it for long long time, but I must admit I'm no writer. I'm considering going to video and maybe I could have real time conversation with some you guys out there. Just thinking out loud, but something I would really like to do.
Los Angeles Dodgers are in San Diego playing game 2 of the series winning the 1st and snapping the Padres 5 game win streak. That win streak is decieving with 4 of those games being a 2-1 low scoring 1 run win. That's not comforting, while Randy Wolfe's coming off a good game against the Mets, he has been pitching quality at home. The other side, Billingsly's coming off a shaky start and he is likely to improve. I'd say from the way this is shaping up in this cavernous PetCo park the game stays Under the Total. Dodgers on the road is less threatening and Padres have offensive issues. Books opened with U7 bias with late Over pressure bring the price back close to even. I'll take the call on Books being correct.

If you waited around for Sunday games I apologize there was no insight on my part to publish anything in time.
Let's move on to Monday. Dodgers having played a dismal road trip now returns to Los Angeles. You know that New York to Los Angeles flight must of felt long after dropping the 2 run lead and end up losing 2-3 on Saturday and getting spanked on Sunday late card finishing the trip 1-6.
Derek Lowe will take the mound to right the ship and he has been pitching well, much better than his Rockies opponent Greg Reynolds 0-2, but I suspect a lack of Dodgers punch to keep Rox in striking range. Looking for good ground ball numbers from Lowe he is pitching 1.09 WHIP at home. Reynolds 7.94 ERA away and last 3 starts 5.09 ERA is crap, but he imploded in his last start 5/28 @PHL giving up 6 runs and likely to improve facing time lagged Dodgers.
ROCKIES/DODGERS UNDER 8 at -104 for 1 unit(L)
New York Mets complete a very nice home stand and now they are in the West taking on the fighting SF Giants. Jonathan Sanchez getting the start has been tough as of late stringing 3 quality starts not to forget Giants have winning record of 8-3 with Sanchez starting. But I don't like his high pitch count, Mets hitting lefties better and he's a fly ball pitcher with wind picking up at the Bay. Oliver Perez starting for NY simply goes Over, Giants also hitting lefties better.

Weekend baseball under the sun.
Michael Pelfrey 2-6 has a bad rep stringing two sub-par starts. He lasted 4 innings in both games throwing tons of pitches. But you know "what happened" doesn't always lead to "What will happen" and I don't think he'll factor into this game maybe get to the 6th or better. Total collapse at his point without some kind of health problem is not probable. He's had bad games, but he's also bounced back and his last quality start was a wasted effort, 5/15 against Washington at home, not to mention that was the second consecutive home quality start, 5/10 Cincy, making Michael's start combined with Mets home edge a interesting matinee wager.
The other side of the coin is surging Chad Billingsly and the Dodgers who snapped their 4 game losing streak with Russel Martin coming alive. Dodgers current road trip 1-4 include the St Louis series before the trip 2-6, Mets are better since coming home.

Coming to end of May there have been enough games to sort through statistical numbers. Maybe too many numbers to make meaningful information distorted. It's always good to keep the numbers as comparable to current data. Season average vs recent average of 3 to 5 games as a indication of rise or decline and keep it simple.
Give credit to Tampa Bay their winning ways at home. They're 21-10 at home with 5-2 playing 7 games at home, 5/23 to5/29, the standout number of 69 hits catches my attention.
Even with such lofty number there is a pattern of fluctuation and recent home stand facing Baltimore and Texas Runs increased from 2 to 11 declined to 5 and it's been sliding slow from there. I think it's a sign of cooling runs. White Sox will send the big Cuban and Rays will send their work horse Shields. It looks Under to me.

Playing the late game on Thursday night at the Anaheim Stadium, the Big A is a beautiful park just ways from Disneyland. Joe Saunders and the Angels will be hosting the struggling Detroit Tigers. Pitching for Detroit will be a tough Venezuelan righty, Armando Galarraga 3-2 3.70 ERA, tougher on the road and right hand bats are getting nothing at .132 even with couple of bad May outing the trouble will not be the pitching tonight. This proud team is not going to lay down and get swept. Here is the combination big play selection.

Went to the mountains over this past weekend getting back just in time to put up the White Sox winner and I think I'll take them again. Mark Buehrle might seem tough to read with 2-5, team record 4-6, and couple of bad outings in May, but he is quality pitcher 60% when he takes the mound. Aaron Laffey has been impressive in May stringing 4 quality starts pitching into the 7th inning in all of those starts allowing 2 earned runs in 28 innings.
The 2 runs came against Chicago in 1-3 loss and this will be the second time around. Not a Cleveland hater just following White Sox dominance with Indians sliding offense.

We are having some strange weather in the Los Angeles area. There was a tornado in Inland Empire and the day has gone from hot to cold. Will it have some impact on tonight's game at Chavez? I don't think the balls will have much lift and should help Lowe. Derek Lowe does not much to show this May, but he is at his best at home and veteran Right Hander is capable of bouncing back. On the other side Adam Wainwright has been fantastic at home, but out of his element on the road. He is coming off 2 consecutive sub par outing and his M.O. has been one run games. I view tonight as a bounce back game for both pitchers.

Good afternoon Baseball handicappers.
Angels are in Toronto with two good arms, Santana vs Burnett, and that's what I'm going to expect, good pitching. Ervin Santana, 6-1 with 2.97 ERA, with his road troubles from last season in his rear view Angels are winning behind Santana and O/U stands at 1-6. Burnett wins and losses maybe 50%, but he has been a work horse.

New York Mets at Atlanta Braves
John Maine vs Tom Glavine
John is in mid season form. In May he has been lights out 3-0 with 1.77 ERA and lefties can not touch him. If your searching for pitfalls he gives a bit on the road and under day light. Braves can be troublesome 9-5 during the day and when that happens at home 7-0. They're also a bit tough at home in general 16-5, matter of fact it's the best in NL. Chipper is on fire hitting 34 out of 40 games leading the majors in hitting average and Glavine takes the ball.

The battle of Ohio takes place at the Great American Ballpark. Name alone tells you this field is about the game not the commercialism. Replacing the old Riverfront Stadium this place is recognized as a hitter friendly park. Just two nights ago against the Marlins game UNDER was jelling fast when 6 runs were given up at the top of 9th sailing OVER the Total. Matter of fact Reds racked up 20 runs in that 3 game series and gave up 16. How about last night with 5 HRs, but for all the highlight homers and big run games that's so memorable in this park truth to the myth is the home record stands UNDER at O/U 7-11. Which sets up the Cleveland series with Indians top in defense, 3rd in AL Total UNDER. Indians will send Fausto Carmona 4-1 with 2.40 ERA. He is coming off a shutout of Blue Jays and has 5 quality starts out of 8. He does give a bit more on the road, but May has brought 2 straight wins making it 4 wins out of last 5 Indians have finished with a win. Aaron Harrang 2-5 with 3.32 ERA tough luck pitcher with 7 quality starts out of 9. He eats innings and holds very good home WHIP of 1.029. Totals reflect his outing with little support O/U 2-7, at home O/U 1-4. With two good pitchers matching up we will have a generous strike zone with Tom Hallion behind the plate O/U 3-7. This match up comes on Indians Away O/U 5-11 and Reds Home O/U 7-11-2. This will be the first 3 units wager for this season.

No post for yesterday. Games are getting choppy, but I like the chaos feel to the match ups and mix in some inter-league for some sure fire bangs. Baseball logic says games between unfamiliar teams should have pitching advantage and games played on NL field will eliminate the DH.
Atlanta Braves are sending Jair Jurrjens, RHP 4-3 with 3.10 ERA, pitching much better of late last 5 out of 6 has been quality and he is 3-0 at home 1.96 ERA 1.20 WHIP. That WHIP has fallen to 0.89 in last 3 games and Under is strong at O/U 1-7 stringing 7 in a row.
Oakland Athletics counter with Dana Eveland, LHP 3-3 with 3.23 ERA, on the road 1-3 with 4.88 ERA 1.25 WHIP, who looks weaker on paper, but has given A's 5-3 team record with 50% quality starts coming in with 2 quality starts in a row. Under is perfect at O/U 0-7.
Both Pitchers will be working with weaker side of the bat. Atlanta hitting .256 against LHP last 10 vs Oakland hitting .220 against RHP last 10.
Both teams trending UNDER Atlanta O/U 1-8-1 and Oakland O/U 2-7-1.

They're at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati Ohio taking on Bronson Arroyo and the Reds. Outside of Volquez pitching phenomenal ball at home, he pitched yesterday beating Hendrickson, Reds are not considered big threat and Arroyo at home is not scary at all. Ricky Nolasco getting the ball in a nice underdog spot poised to beat the Reds on the road.
FLA +122 for 1 unit(L)
Had the mark of a great come back, but it was not to be.

Looking at PPD games from Sunday. Toronto at Cleveland is a Double Header today with early game slated for AJ Burnett for the Blue Jays and Carmona for the Indians. Burnett is 3-3 with 5.19 ERA 1.62 WHIP when he takes the start Toronto is 4-4, but better away than at home with 2-1 with 3.04 ERA 1.28 WHIP. Fausto Carmona is 3-1 with 2.95 ERA 1.79 WHIP at home he is 2-1 with 2.28 ERA 1.61 WHIP. Cleveland exploded for 12 runs on Saturday while giving up 0 and Friday 6 runs while giving 1 against the Blue Jays. So Jays have been out scored 18-1 in this series so far including a knockout of Toronto Ace Halladay. Is there any reason to go against the Indians on this game? Yes, Carmona is having control issues, outside Detroit outing 4/17 he's walked minimum 4, and not factoring into decision. AJ does not have good history with Cleveland, but I think he comes in pretty strong after that 14K outing.
TORONTO +134 for 1 unit(L)
Taking Minnesota at home with Livan Hernandez taking the mound. These pesky Twins are not so easy to put away even for Boston Red Sox.
TWINS +140 for 1 unit(W)
