Chris Jordans 3 picks for today...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday night trifecta ...
300? N.Y. YANKEES (LIST Chamberlain over Richmond) - The Yankees are the hottest team in baseball, they entered this series on a 31-10 run and quite frankly, I don’t know if the Jays stand a chance in this entire series. In sending Joba Chamberlain to the hill, the Yanks now begin with the same foursome that swept the Red Sox over the weekend. And Chamberlain is going to be out to avenge a so-so start against the Red Sox, who worked him for a 108 pitches over five innings. Of course he earned the victory thanks to the now infamous eight-run fourth inning that arguably sparked the sweep of the Sox.

Chamberlain allowed four runs on six hits to Boston while walking a season-high seven as he appeared to be too strong for his own good, pitch off of extra rest. Now, on four days rest, he should be just right in making an attempt at his fifth consecutive win. The power right-hander, who hasn’t lost since June 18, has that extremely quick arm and comes straight over the top with the two- and four-seam fastballs that range from about 92 miles per hour and 97.

Since the All-Star break he is 4-0 with a 2.02 ERA in four starts, and he’s getting it done by keeping hitters off balance with that quick, late-biting slider that has tremendous depth, plus his tightly spun curveball.

He’ll get plenty of run support, as Toronto’s Scott Richmond toes the slab for the first time since July 31, which was his first outing after a month-long stint on the disabled list with a sore right arm. In that return outing, against the A's, the 29-year-old rookie allowed six runs - four of them earned - on seven hits over just three innings. This isn’t exactly the best spot to come back either, as the red-hot Yankees will be looking to pound the ball. Lay the run line here.

300? TWINS (LIST Blackburn over Davies) - While Nick Blackburn is 0-2 in his last three starts, all of which the Twins have lost, it’s hard to ignore the fact Kansas City starter Kyle Davies has a sky-high 14.29 ERA in his last three starts. It goes deeper than that, which I’ll get to in a minute, but the fact is he’s been horrible for the Royals and the Twins will take full advantage of the mismatch today.

Okay, so what exactly am I talking about when I say it goes deeper, well, Davies is 1-7 in his last eight starts. And while that stretches back to June because the right-hander spent some time at Triple-A Omaha, his return to the Royals wasn’t exactly what they hoped for. He lasted just 3-2/3 innings and allowed a season-high eight runs on eight hits. So while he was 4-2 with a 2.14 ERA in eight starts with Omaha, his season in the bigs has been a disaster.

Davies is a flyball pitcher and that’s never a good thing inside the Homer Domer. All it will take is an early-inning surge by the Twins, because it’s no secret Davies doesn’t trust his stuff at times and will tend to run up his pitch counts.

Nah, I’m going to put my faith in the right-handed Blackburn, who made huge strides in the right direction after opening the second half with three sub-par outings in Oakland, in Anaheim and at home against the Angels. He had given up 17 earned runs in his previous three starts, which spanned 15-1/3 innings.

Fast track to last Thursday, against the Indians, Blackburn looked as if he regained the dominating form he displayed in the first half, tossing 6-1/3 innings, giving up two runs on seven hits and striking out two. He should have plenty of confidence in this one, as Blackburn is 1-1 with a stifling 2.25 ERA in three career starts against Kansas City.

Love the Twins tonight, as they continue their drive in the Wild Card race and quite possibly the AL Central Division.

300? ROCKIES (LIST Cook) - The Pirates hit the road for the first time since July 29, and have to start the trip in Denver, where the Rockies have declared war in the National League with fellow West Division member San Francisco for the Wild Card lead. And while the Giants are hosting NL-leading Los Angeles, the Rockies will see this as an opportunity to gain some ground.

The Pirates have lost eight straight – a skid that began with two losses to lowly Washington – and again, all of these losses came at home. Now they take on Aaron Cook, who left his last start - a 3-1 loss to the Phillies - after five innings and 73 pitches with a hyperextended right big toe. In that contest, Cook faced off against the Phillies' Cliff Lee, but threw two bad pitches that proved to be the difference. Fact is this will be a game the right-hander will be looking to dominate, while avenging that last outing.

Confidence should abound at Coors Field, where Cook is 4-1 with a 4.35 ERA. Keep in mind, he’s a strike thrower, and he pounds the zone with a heavy sinker that ranges in the mid 90s. He’s talented enough to command it to both sides of the plate, and when you’re taking on a lethargic offense like this one, you tend to dominate by toying with hitters and setting them up easily. His curve is a decent out pitch, he has a solid change and the best thing about a guy like this, especially at Coors, is he keeps the ball in the park. Lay the run line tonight, as I love the Rockies to destroy Pittsburgh.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS

TUESDAY, AUGUST 11

NATIONAL LEAGUE

L.A. Dodgers (68-45) at San Francisco (61-51)

The Dodgers hand the ball to southpaw Randy Wolf (5-6, 3.61 ERA) as they continue their three-game series at AT&T Park against the Giants, who will counter with rookie Joe Martinez (2-0, 5.87).

Los Angeles put the brakes on just its second three-game losing skid of the season with Monday’s 4-2 victory. Still, the Dodgers are just 6-11 in their last 17 games (4-4 on the road) and they’re on additional plunges of 1-4 against right-handed starters and 3-10 in the second game of a series. On the positive end, Joe Torre’s club is on runs of 47-19 in N.L. West action and 9-2 on Tuesday.

San Francisco has dropped two in a row and three of its last four, all at home. Still, the Giants are on surges of 37-18 at home, 10-4 versus left-handed starters, 7-1 at home against lefties, 4-2 as an underdog and 5-1 on Tuesday.

The Dodgers are 6-4 against the Giants this season, but they’re only 3-6 in their last nine in San Francisco since 2008.

Wolf has made 24 starts this year, yet has just 11 decisions, the latest no-decision coming Thursday at home against Atlanta. In that contest, Wolf was in line for a loss after surrendering four runs on nine hits in seven innings, but the Dodgers turned a 4-2 defeat into a 5-4 win courtesy of Andre Ethier’s walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth. It was the second straight time that Wolf gave up four runs and nine hits, a mini slump that follows a stretch of six consecutive quality starts.

L.A. is 4-1 in Wolf’s last five Tuesday outings, 9-3 in his last 12 as a favorite and 5-2 in his last seven against N.L. West rivals, but it has dropped four of his last five starts on the road. In fact,

Wolf is only 4-4 despite a stellar 3.04 ERA in 12 road contests, with the Dodgers going 5-7. Wolf faced the Giants in San Francisco on April 27 and gave up three unearned runs in six innings, with the Dodgers falling 5-4. He’s 6-4 with a 3.44 ERA in 14 career starts against the Giants.

Martinez earned a 10-6 victory in his first career start on Wednesday at Houston, giving up three runs in five innings. It was his first appearance since April 9 when the right-hander suffered multiple skull fractures after being struck in the head by a line drive in a home game against Milwaukee. In two relief appearances at home (both versus the Brewers), Martinez gave up two runs on four hits in 2 2/3 innings (6.75 ERA), but he did earn a victory on April 7.

The Dodgers have stayed under the total in five of their last six on the road, but the over is 6-3 in their last nine overall and 5-2 in their last seven against right-handed starters. Meanwhile, the under is 20-9-3 in the Giants’ last 32 N.L. West contests, 8-3 in their last 10 at home and 4-1 in their last five versus southpaw starters. However, the over is 11-4-1 in San Francisco’s last 16 games as a home underdog.

ATS ADVANTAGE: L.A. DODGERS


AMERICAN LEAGUE

Tampa Bay (61-51) at L.A. Angels (66-44)

Rookie David Price (5-4, 4.91 ERA) goes after his third straight win when he leads the Rays against Ervin Santana (4-6, 7.20) and the Angels in the middle game of a three-game set at Angel Stadium.

Los Angeles got two home runs from Vladimir Guerrero – his 399th and 400th of his career – and held off Tampa Bay in an 8-7 slugfest on Monday. The Angels are on sizzling runs of 37-15 overall, 10-4 at home, 6-0 against A.L. East squads, 13-3 as an underdog, 23-7 as a home pup and 57-28 against southpaw starters. Additionally, Mike Scioscia’s club has dominated Tampa over the years, winning 51 of the last 75 meetings overall while going 27-5 in the last 32 matchups in California.

Tampa Bay is now 1-3 on its current road trip, a funk that follows a 6-2 run (all at home). The Rays continue to play sub-.500 ball on the road (25-33), and they’re 12-28 in their last 40 as a road chalk, but on the bright side, they’ve won five straight games on Tuesday.

Price led Tampa Bay to Wednesday’s 6-4 home win over Boston, giving up two runs on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks in six innings. Tampa has won four of Price’s last five starts, including the last three in a row, with the lefty allowing just three runs on 11 hits and two walks in his last two outings covering 13 innings. However, Price has been a disaster on the road this year, going 0-3 with an 8.20 ERA in six starts.

The Rays are just 1-4 when Price faces A.L. West opponents, but the victory came on June 11 over the Angels in Tampa Bay. Price lasted just 4 1/3 innings, yielding a run on two hits and a whopping six walks, but the Rays rolled to an 11-1 win.

Santana had one of his better outings of the season on Thursday at the White Sox. Despite allowing four runs on five hits and five walks, he struck out seven and earned a 9-5 road win. The Angels are 4-1 in Santana’s last five trips to the mound, even though in the last four, the right-hander has given up 20 runs (all earned) in 21 2/3 innings. On top of that, he’s 0-4 with a 12.38 ERA in six home starts in 2009.

With Santana pitching, the Angels are on runs of 6-1 as an underdog and 5-1 as a home pup, but they’re 1-4 in his last five at Angel Stadium and 1-5 in his last six against the A.L. East. Additionally, the Halos are 1-5 in Santana’s last six starts versus the Rays, including that 11-1 defeat on June 11 when Santana yielded six runs in 4 2/3 innings. For his career, he’s 3-4 with a 6.04 ERA in nine starts against Tampa Bay, but 2-0 with a 2.03 ERA in two home games.

L.A. is on a slew of “over” runs, including 39-14-3 overall, 23-7-1 at home, 8-2 as an underdog, 5-0-1 on Tuesday, 6-0 against the A.L. East and 13-4-1 versus winning teams. Also, with Santana pitching, the “over” is on streaks of 4-0 overall, 5-2-1 at home and 16-7-2 as an underdog. Meanwhile, the Rays carry “over” trends of 5-0 overall, 5-1 on the highway, 6-0 versus the A.L. West and 5-2-1 when Price goes off as a favorite. Finally, the last three meetings between these clubs this season have topped the total.

Game: Sacramento at San Antonio (8:00 PM Eastern)

Pick: Sacramento +7 (+100)

The oddsmakers are treating this Silver Stars team like they are the same one that blew through the WNBA a season ago at home, winners of 15 of the 17 games played here. They stand at just 6-4 so far this season at home, and resemble little of what last year's team accomplished. They have won half of those six games by four points or less. The Monarchs are not a good team, but are better than what they were at the beginning of the season. They opened by losing their first five on the road by 10+ points, collecting zero ATS wins. They have since won twice on the road and have been highly competitive. San Antonio has had great difficulties playing with short rest as they are now a woeful 1-11 ATS after just one day of rest. I like Sacramento to stay inside the number here vs. an overrated San Antonio team.

GAME: Texas Rangers @ Cleveland Indians Aug 11, 2009 7:05PM
PICK: under 9.5

REASON FOR PICK: Both of these pitchers are still "flying under the radar" a bit and that is helping to give us line value with the under in this match-up. Dustin Nippert of the Rangers is taking the spot of Vicente Padilla whom was designated for assignment Friday. Nippert is 1-0 with a 3.50 ERA in four starts this season. Also, this will be his first appearance against Cleveland and that should certainly help the right-hander as well as the Indians hitters are getting their first looks at him. As for the Cleveland pitcher, we feel Aaron Laffey is absolutely "in the zone" right now! The southpaw is 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in his four home starts this season. Overall, Laffey is a solid 5-3 with a 3.58 ERA on the season and he's been throwing his best stuff of the season in recent outings. Look for more of the same here against the Rangers.

Note that Texas is 67-36 to the under this season! That is simply amazing and there are angles here that also add support for playing the under. The Rangers are 27-10 to the under when facing a left-handed hurler. Also, the Rangers are 4-1 to the under (and 12-6 the last 3 seasons) when they shut-out their opponent in their prior game. The Rangers beat the Angels 7-0 on Sunday. Also, Texas is 25-11 to the under this season when playing a team with a losing record. As for the Indians, note that they are 11-4 to the under this season (and 25-12 the last three seasons) when at home and installed as small favorite (of up to -125). Consider a small play on UNDER the total in Cleveland on Tuesday night.

10 Dime -- INDIANS (Laffey) over Rangers (Nippert)



INDIANS

NOTE: List only Laffey as Cleveland's starting pitcher


The Rangers are feeling really good about themselves right now after taking two of three games from the Angels over the weekend. But that is one of the reasons why I think they are ripe for the picking today.



Texas used a lot of energy in that series in an effort to close the gap between itself and the AL West leaders. The Rangers enter Cleveland on the final leg of a 10-game road trip, and I think they are due for a big letdown.



Indians starter Aaron Laffey (5-3, 3.58 ERA) is coming off one of the best outings of this career. The left-hander allowed one unearned run and six hits in eight innings Wednesday against Minnesota.



Laffey is 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in four home starts this year.



Yes, Rangers starter Dustin Nippert (3-0, 2.73) has pitched well lately, going 3-0 with a 0.95 ERA in six games (two starts) since the All-Star break. But the right-hander, who is 1-0 with a 3.50 ERA in four starts, has not pitched more than 5 2/3 innings in any outing this season.



The Indians are playing some of their best baseball of the year, with 11 wins in their last 16 games. I expect that to continue today as Laffey takes advantage of a Texas lineup that will be lacking the intensity needed to be successful. Go with Cleveland in this one.

Texas Rangers
vs. Cleveland Indians

The Indians start with Aaron Laffey tonight as they try to continue their recent roll. Cleveland dropped 21 of 28 from June 15-July 19, but is 12-6 since that stretch. These two teams have split their last 10 games so expect another tight series. But tonight the difference maker is Cleveland’s starting pitcher. The left-hander yielded one unearned run in a career-high eight innings to beat Minnesota 8-1 at Progressive Field on Wednesday. Laffey has gone 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA in four home starts this season. So put your money on the Indians -125 to start the series off with a win.

PLAY: Cleveland Indians / -125 / 4 Units

TITLE: **9** WNBA SUPREME ANNIHILATOR *100% RUN* Los Angeles Sparks -6

REASON FOR PICK: **9** WNBA SUPREME ANNIHILATOR *100% RUN* My initial reaction was to go against the Sparks tonight following their big win over league leading Indiana but I am going the opposite of that. Los Angeles is peaking at the right time and it happens to be coinciding with the return of Lisa Leslie as she played in her third straight game last night following 11 straight missed games because of an injury. The win last night moved Los Angeles to 5-2 at home and those seven games are the fewest of any team in the league so the schedule has had a lot to do with the way Los Angeles has started out. It is in fifth place in the Western Conference so this is where the run needs to go. Seven of the next 10 games are at home and nothing short of winning all of them will likely do. New York is struggling right now as it has dropped six of its last seven games and it is likely out of the playoffs as it trails fourth place Atlanta by three and a half games. The hiring of a new coach has done nothing for the Liberty and they will face the second toughest defense in the league tonight as the Sparks are allowing 72.6 ppg on the season. That is a key average as New York is 1-9 on the season in its 10 games when scoring 73 or fewer points and this includes a 2-8 ATS mark. There is a very favorable situation favoring the Sparks as well. Play on home favorites that are playing with no rest and with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after 15 or more games. This situation is 24-4 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1997 with the average point differential being +11.3 ppg. Also, Los Angeles is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 home games against teams that are averaging 73 or more ppg 15 or more games. 9* Los Angeles Sparks
