Arizona Diamondbacks at Pittsburgh Pirates
Wandy Rodriguez wearing Pittsburgh black & gold and already pitched back to back quality games, @Cincy a loss and @Houston a win, giving up 3 runs in both games. The move should help the veteran he will oppose Arizona's veteran lefty Joe Saunders. He too is pitching quality games despite 5 losses out of last 6 Arizona losing all 4 of his road starts. Let's see if these two pitchers will put a damper on the heavy bats that's knocked in 13 runs yesterday and 14 runs day before.

New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers
N.Y. dropped the first 2 games to Detroit and the Tigers are looking for 3 straight. The Tigers are on a roll winning 6 straight, 7 out of last 10 and knocking out opposing pitchers. But not since facing Buchholz @Boston 7/30 will they face a formidable pitcher in CC Sabathia, 11-3 with 3.53 ERA, pitching 5-1 away from N.Y. the Yankees are 7-3. Detroit will send Anibal Sanchez who is coming off a quality win against Cleveland. Sanchez has been quality since July 8th, he was with Miami then, pitched 4 quality games out of last 5. However I feel this spot, Sanchez off a quality game giving up no home run, and Sabathia off a 9 inning 10 K complete game, both respective games did not go Under, over & push, and today's total set below their last game at 8.5 is destined to go OVER.

Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers
Tuesday edition with strong pitching. Johnny Cueto going for the Reds, he's 14-5 over 146 inning of work 2.52 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, top money winner of all the Reds starters made twice as much as #2 Latos.. Milwaukee sending Michael Fiers, he's 5-4 with half the inning of Cueto at 72 inning. The old rookie is pitching nicely 1.88 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He maybe pitching beyond himself, but right now Fiers look better than Cueto. Judging from Michael 's performance he could pitch better than his last start, 6 inning 8 hits 2 runs 6 K's no walk and 1 homer, scary stuff. I'm sure Johnny Cueto's not scared he's had 2 non quality starts winning them both with 9 runs backing him up both times and his game is coming back he had 9 K's in the last non quality start. Johnny in a spot to improve 3 Over to 8 Under in this situation. Looking for these two to go at it on the mound.

Washington Nationals at Houston Astros
Today we have Nationals visiting Minute Maid park in Houston. Going for the visitors is Edwin Jackson meeting for the second time since April 19th, he lost that match 4-11, coming off a non quality start loss to Philadelphia, but a 2-3 final 1 run loss giving up 3 and failing to get out of the 5th inning with 108 pitch count all 3 runs came on solo homers He does have couple of quality starts before that, but again 3 non quality starts precedes making.2 wins 3 losses in last 5. He's not the same since getting chased out in Colorado 6/28 leading to declining performance in July, but don't complain about bad July to Dallas Keuchel he didn't have one quality start and lost all 4 July games making his loss streak 5 in a row. Dallas got shelled too, in last 4 starts he gave up, 7, 5, 6 & 4, all, but one game going Over. The obvious choice here is Washington Nationals and Game Total Over 8.5, but do not rush into this pick. The public wager is on Washington 78% which qualifies this game to fade the public and game total Over on second look is inflated due to pitcher situation, Dallas did take the game Under after his implosion 7/21 @Arizona and Jackson coming off Under 8 in multi homer game is a situational Under on a rising Total after going Under a lower total, 8, in previous game. Both play goes against the grain and Pubic fade angle must hold 75 to 79% wager on Washington. There is also an underlying trend with Houston being +160 dog coming off a game scoring less than 3 runs and their starter allowing more than 5 runs in previous start, the Astros are 7-4 & 3 Over to 8 Under since September 2009. Watch this line as this play will go off near start time.

Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees
The Yankees were shut down by Seattle's King Felix in a 1 run game. Hiroki Kuroda was simply out dueled in yesterday's 1-0 loss. On to the rubber match with veteran Freddy Garcia on the hill for N.Y. going against Mariners Hisashi Iwakuma. The Yankees are a big home favorite and coming off a rare shut out, happened three times this season including yesterday, there is much anticipated rebound combined with offensive output. Seattle is not getting much credit though they are winners of 8 out of 9 and 14 of last 19 games, winning 4 out of last 5 series. Bull pen has been hot since June. Still the Yankees are 33-22 at home, 21-11 since May 22nd, second best home record in AL and they have historically dominated the Mariner in New York. Freddy Garcia coming off a quality start loss against Baltimore has back to back quality loss and 3 losses in a row. He looks to improve in this spot and extend his inning, but I'm not sure Iwakuma is going to decline that much. I don't think he'll surpass his last start, 8 inning 4 hit 1 run with13 K's, it doesn't mean he's going to get knocked out. Iwakuma seems to be getting stronger and he's confidence is growing. Taking the Under in this day time game 3.

For the second place in AL East. These two teams stand tied for the second spot. Rays coming off an successful road trip will do their best to take the home field advantage. On the hill will be a good rookie Matt Moore, 7-7 with 4.01 ERA, who has 7 quality starts out of 12 at home with Tampa winning 7-5. He is coming off a 6 inning shut out of the Angels on the road making his first August appearance at home. Baltimore Orioles will go with Tommy Hunter, 4-6 with 5.68 ERA, 8 away starts 3 of them quality and his record is 1-4. In last start he was knocked out in 5 inning at Oakland giving up 5 runs and 2 home runs. Many are already backing Tampa, but Baltimore as the road dog is the play. Moore is in a spot to decline while Hunter despite his poor home record Baltimore has pulled out ahead in many of Tommy's ND starts giving him 50% win on the road.

St Louis Cardinals at Colorado Rockies
Coors Field is racking up scores. Here are the pitchers for today. st Louis sending Lance Lynn, good pitcher 13-4 Cards 15-5, excels on the road with Cards winning 9-3 also going Over 8 to 4 under. He is coming off a non quality win at Chicago. Rockies will fill the spot with Alex White last big league start June 24 loss at Texas 2-4 going 2.2 inning so Colorado would like Alex to extend his inning and keep the ball down in the zone. If the public wager was just a little higher on St Louis Cardinals I would place this on fade the public play on Colorado, but it fails to fall into that category. Instead the play we will look at is the total Under 11. This lofty number has been set after these two teams crushed 10.5 total in first two games. Lance has been hit on the road, but with strong run support he keeps winning and 8-4 O/U away. I still like the Under because the Total is being set higher while the combined score for these two teams have declined from game 1 to game 2. Lance Lynn is in a bounce back spot and Alex White has performed at Coors. The runs may come maybe White will not factor in the results, but this one come up shy of 11 runs.

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins
American League Central with the Tigers and the White Sox fighting for the lead. Chicago has Minnesota's number this season and they will send Jake Peavy who has defeated the Twins in both of his meeting. Jake faced Minnesota in his last start at home beating them in 6 inning of work 6 hits 2 runs 1 earned, but he did labor throwing 121 pitches, his third start in a row throwing more than 120 pitches. He has also been hit on the road recording 2 non quality losses prior to his home win. His road record is sub par 3-5 with White Sox going 4-6 which is not all his doing as he is pitching quality in majority of his road games. Minnesota Twins will send Scott Diamond who pitched a complete game shut out against the Indians and he is 6-1 at home. His ERA is 2.28 compared to 3.63 away winning average margin 4.5 runs. It looks like a live home dog, However Diamond's home starts have been against losing teams except for Baltimore and O's pitcher that day, Tillman, was gone after the 1st inning Twins went on to win 7-19 and that was a non quality win for Diamond. Jake Peavy , who is extended, will not be easy to hit even for the hot bats of Minnesota. but the play is Under 8.5 following last nights quality performance by pitchers on both sides again meeting quality pitchers in same series. Broken Over trend for Minnesota with Total declining for the following game.

Philadelphia visiting Nationals Park as they seek a win after getting swept in Atlanta. The Phillies came close in the middle game of the Atlanta series, but they were clearly beat in the other two. Washington has not been kind either. These two teams met twice and Washington took both series only Cole Hamels had any success against them, he's not pitching today. Philadelphia starter today is Cliff Lee 1-6 with little help from his team, Phillies 5-12, he will try for only his second win of this season with over 118 innings of work. It will be a tall order considering the home starter will be Stephen Strasburg 11-4 and 3rd money pitcher in the rotation, just a tad below Zimmermann. Stephen is coming off a strong quality win at N.Y. Mets striking out 11 in 7 inning. The Nationals are 8-2 in last 10. Cliff Lee is coming of a non quality ND, rare Phillies win and Philadelphia failing on current road trip. Though Washington at home with Starsburg is the obvious choice the play is Over 6.5.

Tampa Bay Rays at Oakland A's
This is a match up that's going to be a preview of post season to come. The Rays sending David Price their top pitcher who is coming off a dominant win. David has pitched into the 7 inning in last 7 starts, all of them quality games, 6 wins 1 ND loss. The most runs he gave up during that span was 3 run in one game, 2 runs twice, three games 1 run and he shut down Cleveland, just nasty. For the home team A.J. Griffin with 6 starts he is 3-0 with 2.25 ERA and turning some heads. He was a sleeper taken in 13th round draft, but he moved quickly through Oakland's system His pitches are not lights out, but quality and he throws strikes in the low strike zone. He is using pretty good fastball, curve, slider and change. Also a stronge indication of good pitching is his outstanding strike to walk ratio, career number moving up in the minors was a strike out per inning to 2 walks in 9 inning. A.J. seems to love pitching in Oakland he's sporting a 0.98 WHIP. Although their first meeting this season in Tampa netted 2 Over's and 1 Push this series in pitcher friendly Oakland the Total is pushed down to 6.5 and I expect the runs to come at a premium. Tampa playing 9 Under's out of last 10 and Oakland at home Under 32 to Over 18. This is a match up between #1 and #3 Under team in all of baseball.

San Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds
Edinson Volquez of San Diego is looking a bit nasty lately. All July starts ended in 1 run difference with San Diego winning 3 losing 1, 3 of those games were quality starts he also got 3 no decisions and striking out tons of batters. He's already beaten the Reds at home, July 5th 2-1 win, going 7 innings in a pitchers duel against Latos. For Cincinnati that loss in San Diego must feel like a hundred years ago. They've lost only 6 games in July, only 1 series loss which last happened July 3 & 4th to L.A. on the road, but since last losing July 18th to Arizona the Reds strung 10 winners allowing more than 3 runs only twice in that span. This is going to be a better game than expected. I'd give the home team the edge, but Reds starter Mike Leake should be avoided at home. He is the only money losing pitcher in rotation, 4 quality starts out of 10 at home is not a good number, the Reds are 50/50 with Mike on the hill and that's not a good proposition given that Reds price is not cheap. However I will side with the Under with both pitcher in mid season form. The Reds are NL top Under team. San Diego is playing Over this season, but much of it contributed by the low Total they're receiving and runs they're giving up. Edinson to keep it tight. San Diego is 4 Over to 2 Under on this road trip so far, but even at homer friendly Great American ball park today's pitchers to keep it Under.

61-41 +26,450
Good morning players. We have taken another winner with Nationals downing the Brewers. Taking the game on the North side of Chicago. One of my favorite ball park the Wrigley Field.
St Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs
The Cardinals are rolling, creeping towards Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in NL Central. They have won 7 of last 10, their home stand was successful 6 wins out of 7 and sweeping the Cubs at home July 20 to 22nd. Now the rubber match with pitcher Adam Wainwright going for St Louis series win #3. Adam is coming off a quality start win against the Dodgers his third quality win in last 4 starts. They will look to take the Chicago series again this time in Chicago. However Paul Maholm will have a say in this game and this lefty has been pitching with authority. Yes the Cubs are lagging in NL Central and they may not reach the front runners, but money wise Chicago is rising much faster than St Louis. Let's take a look at St Louis in their previous road trip, July 13 to 18 six game through Cincinnati and Milwaukee, 1 win 4 losses failing to score more than 3 runs. How about the Cubs most recent home stand? July 13 to 19th six games facing Arizona and Miami taking 5 wins and 1 loss. Chicago is dangerous at home, 25-22 and in the black 56-43 Run line, Wainwright is in a spot to decline. Chicago to take the rubber match with their top winning pitcher Maholm.
CHICAGO CUBS +140 for 1 unit(W)
The Cubs let St Louis back in the game, but win in extra inning.

Good Saturday to all. I know everybody has their thing to do on this mid summer weekend, but take 10 mininutes to hook up on this play.
Washington Nationals at Milwaukee Brewers
The Nationals with Jordan Zimmermann is a combination I would not go against right now. It's pretty much a public play taking the Nats over Randy Wolf and the Brew Crew. Milwaukee was such a strong home presence last season, but that's not the case today. Randy Wolf has completed back to back quality starts something he has failed to continue this season. There is an similar situation in early June when he was pitching 6+ innings and failed his third quality start sliding downwards to end June. Jordan Zimmermann has been solid on the road just quality games. Take this game on the RL giving -1.5 runs on the away favorites.
WASHINGTON NATIONALS -1.5 Runs at +115 for 1 unit(W)
Zimmerman was quality again, that's money.

San Diego Padres at Miami Marlins
We have Kip Wells, 1-3 with 4.00 ERA, for the Pads against Carols Zambrano, 5-8 with 4.42 ERA, in a match which has been owned by San Diego. Both of these pitchers were hit hard in each of their last start. It's likely that both pitchers will not be regarded highly in today's match up so the Total has risen to 9 from 8.5, but both of these pitchers are in a spot to improve. I think it's going to stay Under the original 8.5, but will gladly take the 9 instead.

No gain no loss in yesterday's split, but LA Dodger went 12 inning final score 2-3 almost had another side and total sweep. Let's go with a AL game today.
Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles
James Shields, 8-6 with 4.39 ERA and the Rays are 12-8, away pitcher has turned his fortune in July. Since winning 1 out of 5 starts in June he has only 1 loss out of 4 starts in July. Tampa has taken the first 2 games the last one in crushing fashion, 10-1 chasing the starter Gonzalez in 2.2 innings, now they are in position to sweep Baltimore in Camden. Chris Tillman is the home pitcher on mound to stop the bleeding with 3 games in 15.2 innings of work going 2-1 he's had his good day and bad day, but unearned runs do stand out. On this day game I'm going to take the Orioles even with Shields winning ways his quality games are not consistent. I don't think he'll duplicate his last game. Baltimore to salvage this game after 3 straight losses. .

Coming off sides and total winner yesterday.
Los Angeles Dodgers at St Louis Cardinals
Aaron Harang going for the Dodgers and Kyle Lohse two good pitchers on the mound. L.A. Dodgers made a trade with Miami and got Hanley Ramirez. The line up change has boosted the total to 9.5, over kill in my view, but let's look at the side with L.A. Dodgers they are Kyle Lohse nemesis as the Dodgers are to the Cardinals. L.A. is still 8-1 in last 9 match ups dating back to last season and yesterday was the first loss of this 10 game road trip. Now Lohse has been pitching well at home the Cardinals are 7-2 with Lohse pitching at home and doesn't give up much runs, 2 or less in July, but he's giving up more hits then he did in June. He also give a HR after couple games without any HR's. Aaron Harang may not mach record with Kyle, but he better on the road, 5-3 and his recent games have been outstanding last 3 games 19 innings of work 2.37 ERA and 0.84 WHIP matching better than Lohse. Going with visiting Dodgers as a pretty good size dog..

Washington Nats at New York Mets
This is a rematch of a game that took place in Washington Nationals Park just last week July 19th. R.A. Dickey against Gio Gonzalez will go at it again. The two All Star pitchers didn't exactly battle the first meet with 5-9 Mets taking the road win. Gio went out in 3.1 inning in a rare collapse worst of this season and Dickey looked shaky too. Remember Dickey when he was unhittable leading up to the All Star break? he's showing signs of being some what hittable, but he's in a bounce back spot. So is Gio and this maybe the pitchers duel game. Despite Dickey and Mets having O/U 11-9 they are O/U 4-6 at home. Gonzalez and the Nats are 50% proposition on the road to go Under, but I expect his best game today. Mets are 1-9 in last 10 match up. Taking the Under and the Nationals.

Los Angeles Dodgers at St Louis
The L.A. Blue is re-starting to roll. You have to know when this team was at full strength it racked up the best record in baseball. Meet the champions St Louis coming into this match with a sweep of Chicago at home. It was not just a ordinary sweep, but the Cardinals pitchers shut down the Cubs to 1 run in 3 game series. Today the Cards will give the ball to Joe Kelly with 7 starts his record is 1-2 and 2.75 ERA and really lacks innings to get a good picture, but he is tied for 5th in rookies with quality start. Visiting Dodgers will go with Chad Billingsley who has racked up 5 losses last win dating back to June 10th at Seattle. He does own 5-4 home record however his road games are 3-6. The drawback taking the Cards here is L.A. has beat them 7 in a row dating back to last season and Dodgers are scoring runs coming off a sweep of their own at NY Mets. I do like the Cards to have the home edge, but the take today is Over 9. St Louis is trending Under right now and 12 runs in single inning will likely not happen, but Billingsley is money going Over and he is coming off a Under which has followed with two 10 run games and one 9 run game. Kelly is less of a factor, but even with his quality starts he is doing some high wire act with runners on bases and one of these games he will get burned. He's getting hit and giving walks strike out ratio is not that good, but he's been holding on. Looking for runs tonight as the Total is 9 high as it's been for St Louis in last 10 games and is the highest in Dodgers game in last 10 games.

Seattle Mariners at Tampa Bay Rays
Mariners playing 6 game of their 7 game road trip winning 3 out of 4 in KC, losing the opener in Tampa heading to this game. Tampa lost the Boston series, split Cleveland series and winning yesterday. The Rays have won back to back. Today Alex Cobb, 4-6 with 4.92 ERA poor home pitcher, will take the start opposite Jason Vargas, 9-7 with 4.09 ERA coming off a quality start at KC, who have strung 4 quality starts. Although Tampa has owned Seattle winning the past 9 matches dating back to last season. I like Seattle as the road dog.
fading Tampa after 2 wins against 2 different teams in a home stand with poor home pitcher.
SEATTLE MARINERS +141 for 1 unit(W)
That was a close win, but a nice dog win.
