3-Unit Play Take # 914 Colorado Rockies +105 over Los Angeles Dodgers (8:40 p.m.)

The NL West race isn’t done yet. Those of us who stayed up late last night can attest to that. The Rocks now have a four-game lead in the wild card standings. There is no doubt in my mind that Jim Tracy is the Manager Of The Year. He sure knows how to build a players confidence. Rockies are a confident bunch right now.


3-Unit Play Take # 917 Texas Rangers +165 over New York Yankees (7:05p.m.)

This is a very crucial series for Texas. Kevin Millwood continues to pitch well for them. His mound opponent Joba Chamberlain, was knocked around in his last start by the Mariners. Taking our chances at a nice price tonight.

3-Unit Play Take # 930 Seattle Mariners -125 over Oakland A’s (10:10p.m.)

The Mariners must continue to beat up on the bottom feeders, Oakland and KC. They did so last night to get their 10-game home stand off on the right foot. Ryan Rowland-Smith toes the rubber for Seattle tonight. He has pitched extremely well since being recalled.

Mariners win again!

5 Unit Pick Take Over (10) Baltimore at Minnesota (August 25, 8:10)

With the Twins in the thick of a race trying to catch the White Sox’s and the Tigers they are calling Armando Gabino to make his major league debut. The 25 year old has been used mostly as a reliever at Triple A, he was 5-3 with a 2.83 era in 36 appearances and five starts there. He will have some nerves no doubt about and I can’t see how he will pitch past the fifth with most likely a low pitch count. Baltimore meanwhile sends a struggled lefty to the hill and the Twins have hit left handed pitching at a high clip this year. This will be brain Matusz only fifth pro start and he has only pitch 18 innings in his four prior starts while giving up 15 runs on a whopping 31 hits. Get the scoreboard ready !

3 Unit Pick Take #902 Pittsburgh (+160) over Philadelphia (August 25, 7:05)

I understand that the Phillies and starting pitcher Joe Blanton have been hot but so has Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf has been just as hot after tweaking his delivery has only giving 9 earn runs over his last five starts that has last 31 innings. In 13 home starts he has 3.01 era giving up 26 runs over 77 innings. No doubt about it Blanton has been good but I could see him slipping up here vs. the Pirates, this line is inflated big time and I can’t pass up on this value

Thanks and Good Luck-Dave

Tuesday, Aug 25 2009, 05:40 PM PST
Take " (913) LOS ANGELES DODGERS "
NL Game of the Week: Dodgers.
The Colorado recent hot streak has coincided with playing some lousy teams: Nationals, Pirates and slumping Cubs. Now a powerful offensive team comes to town, one with a terrific young ace on the hill. Lefty Clayton Kershaw (2.96 ERA) has been on a tear, with a 3.60 ERA his last three starts, fanning 24 in only 15 innings! The Rockies are 3-4 the last 7 starts made by Jason Hammel and opponents are hitting .310 off him. He's not used to Coors Field, either, as he has a 7.02 ERA here! Play the Dodgers.

(917) TEXAS RANGERS (+1.5, ov9.5)
(918) NEW YORK YANKEES (-1.5, un9.5)
Tuesday, Aug 25 2009, 04:05 PM PST
Take " (917) TEXAS RANGERS "
The Yankees often play an emotional series with their rival Red Sox, then lay an egg the next game. It happened when they swept Boston in early August, hosting Toronto and losing the first game, 5-4, as a favorite. Texas comes to town, a very good team in a Wild Card chase. You need to keep the baseball down in a hitter-friendly park like this, and Kevin Millwood does with his hard sinker. He's allowed fewer hits than innings pitched in 2009. NY righty Joba Chamberlain is off a rough start, getting more rest than normal, and has a 6.75 ERA his last three starts, walking 12 in 16 innings. Texas is second in the AL in slugging and third in steals. A great spot for the visitors, play the Rangers.

Game: Cincinnati at Milwaukee (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Milwaukee -140 (moneyline)

The Cincinnati Reds hung in the NL Central race for quite awhile, but they have totally fallen apart. The Reds are just 8-24 in their last 32 games and are going through experimentation right now, looking at prospects for next year. It has gotten so bad for the Reds that in their last 29 losses, they would be just 3-26 to a runline of +1.5. The Brewers have been outstanding behind Jeff Suppan. When the Brew Crew has allowed two runs or less in their previous game, they have turned in a 13-4 mark in that situation with Suppan on the bump. The Reds are heading nowhere, the lineup is cold and they are simply playing out the string. They have also dropped their last four games played in Milwaukee, and I think that goes to five tonight. I'm going with Milwaukee here.

3-Unit Play. Take #916 San Francisco (-120) over Arizona (10 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 25)
Home sweet home for the Giants. They have been one of the best home bets in baseball and I think that they will carry over some anger from last night's loss at Colorado. The Diamondbacks are just 1-9 in their last 10 road games and they never play well in San Fran. Arizona is just 20-41 in their last 61 trips there. The Giants are 15-5 in Matt Cain’s last 20 starts and they are 8-1 when he starts at home.

4 Unit Play. #914. Take the Colorado Rockies +102 against the LA Dodgers (Tuesday @ 8:40pm est). The Rockies just have the ability to keep coming at you and give them a lot of credit for being successful against the Giants as they just did not give up. Kershaw has been solid this year though including defeating the Rockies earlier this year at home 1-0 as he picked up the win and just yielded 1 hit. I expect the Rockies to have more success against him today. Kershaw is also winless in his last 6 starts and he has struggled at Coors over his lifetime as he has a 2-2 record with a 8.64 era. Jason Hammel remembers his last start against LA as he pitched 8 beautiful innings only to get saddled with a 0-1 loss. I look for a reverse of fortunes today as Hammel is used to pitching at Coors and will likely have the edge today as the Rockies have seen Kershaw once already and shoul be a bit more prepared this time around. The Dodgers are 0-6 of late when Kershaw is a favorite and the Rockies are 10-1 in Hammel's last 11 starts when the total is set at this mark.


4 Unit Play. Take Over 165.5 between the Sacramento Monarchs @ Atlanta Dream (Tuesday @ 7:30pm est). There is something odd, or fishy if you will about this line. After all, the line opened up at -5 and has gone down to -3 and -3.5 in many books. This is despite the fact that over 70% are banking on Atlanta at home. Plus, Atlanta needs this game for playoff seeding while Sacramento is out of the playoff hunt. Nevertheless, the line continues to go down and it is a short line at that despite the public pounding the Dream. I believe the Monarchs might have a shot to win this game outright, so this is an indirect play on them by taking the Over. Sacramento has not quit on the season as they have won 4 of 5 SU and one of them was a loss to the Sparks at home after they had just beaten them on the road. This team is playing spoiler and loving it. They defeated the Sparks at Staples, beat the Silver Stars on the road, defeated the League leader in Indiana at home as Outright 5.5 dogs and took care of Washington most recently by 22. For a team in Sacramento that put up 85 in LA and 90 in San Antonio, points do not come very tough on the road. Atlanta plays a very up and down game as they are averaging nearly 84 points per game. I believe this game will be a prototype of the Sparks vs. Dream that just occured over the weekend where LA won 87-91 (178). The Sparks and Monarchs are fairly even in play right now so this probably explains the short line on the side. Rather, let's take the over as this game likely exceeds 170 again. The Over is 6-0 for the Monarchs in their last 6 road games and the Over is 4-0 for the Dream against the Western Conference.

1) Cleveland Indians vs Kansas City Royals

Pick: Cleveland (3 units)

Oddsmakers are listing the Indians as a 140+ point underdog in what many would consider a pitching mismatch. Justin Masterston (4-4, 4.36) faces Zach Greinke (11-8, 2.44). However, as good as Greinke has been all year, the Royals are only 1-8 in his last 9 starts and are 1-2 in his 3 starts versus the Tribe this season. Fortunately for Cleveland, Justin Masterson is coming off a solid performance versus the Angels where he allowed one unearned run and 3 hits over 6 1/3 innings. This play is definitely a diamond in the rough as the Royals are 6-25 in their last 31 home contests. Additionally, the Indians are 4-0 in their last 4 versus a right handed pitcher and 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in K.C.

Lay 3 units on the Indians.

Tuesday's Lineup
30 DIME ---- BLUE JAYS (With Cecil and Shields as listed pitchers)

Remember last week when I told you to side with the Baltimore Orioles over Tampa Bay when James Shields was on the mound? Remember that the game was played in Tampa where the Rays dominate? Remember that the Orioles won the game, 8-7, at +240 money? Those of you who were with me that day remember it well, and you'll see again tonight why I'm not ever in favor of backing James Shields when listed as a favorite. No longer is he "Big Game" James like he was in 2008. In fact, this entire pitching staff is a shell of what it was last year when they helped the Rays get to the World Series. And if you're looking at Shields' overall ERA... don't.

The first half of his season and the second half are complete opposites (3.42 ERA vs. 4.95 ERA) and it's no surprise to see his ERA around 4 as we approach September. Shields hasn't won a game since August 8th at Seattle, and even in that win he wasn't spectacular (5.1 IP, 8 H, 3 ER). He's lost 4 of his last five starts and the Rays have dropped five of his last six starts. His fastball seems to have lost a little velocity and teams are really starting to sit back and wait for his predictable change up. Shields' last outing vs. Toronto resulted in a loss as he allowed 8 hits and 5 ERs in 8 innings of work and I see a similar result tonight.

As for Brett Cecil, Toronto's starter, it's true... he has been beaten around in two of his last three outings, but in his one and only start against Tampa Bay he lasted seven full innings, allowing four hits and one earned run in a Toronto win. His home record and ERA is clearly better at home than it is on the road and with the pressure square on the shoulders of the Rays and Shields, I believe you'll see Cecil pitch looser than he has in his last start against Boston. The Rays hit around 20 points better at home than they do on the road (.258) and given the results of Cecil's and Shields' last start vs. the other team, I think the best play on the board tonight is Toronto, PLUS money, over James Shields and the Tampa Bay Rays.

[Mr. IWS]

15* on Pittsburgh Pirates +165

There is a lot of value on the Pirates as a pretty big underdog against the Phillies tonight. Pitt is playing well of late, winning 5 of their last 6 games, and they have one of their best starters on the mound tonight. Ross Ohlendorf has been a force for the Pirates when he throws in Pittsburgh. He is 8-2 in 13 starts at home with a 3.01 ERA and 1.21 WHIP (the Pirates are 10-3 in those starts). Joe Blanton starts for the Phillies, and while he has been a solid addition to the rotation, he is only 3-3 in 10 road starts this season. The Phillies are good on the road, but the value is on the Pirates in Pittsburgh Tuesday night.

20* No-Brainer on San Francisco Giants -113

I'm taking the Giants over the Diamondbacks in what should be a pretty good pitchers' duel. Matt Cain has been exceptional for the Giants, going 12-4 with a 2.43 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 25 starts for San Francisco. He's been even better at home going 6-2 with a 2.37 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 12 starts at San Francisco (the Giants are 10-2 in those 12 starts). Arizona's Dan Haren have numbers that can compete with Cain's on the season, but Haren has struggled over his last 3 starts, collecting two losses, a 5.68 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. The Diamondbacks have lost 7 of their last 8 games overall, and though they won their last time out, they are on the tail-end of a 10-game road trip, facing one of the best pitchers in baseball this season.

5 Dime - Atlanta (Jurrjens) - 1 1/2 Runs over San Diego (Latos)



San Diego rookie Matt Latos had won four straight starts and held foes to a .190 average before facing St. Louis on August 14. In that contest, the Cards roughed up the 21-year-old hurler, collecting eight hits and seven runs in four-plus innings. Latos fared worse in his next start five days later against the Cubs, lasting just 3.2 innings, departing the scene after allowing five runs and walking four batters.



Latos beat the Braves on August 3 at home, yielding six hits and two runs over seven innings, but tonight he's facing an Atlanta team that's playing much better, having won 13 of its last 18. And the Braves have dominated the series - despite that August 3 loss - winning 19 of the last 25 meetings overall.



The Braves send Jair Jurrjens to the mound to face a San Diego club that's batted just .160 while scoring a total of eight runs in its last five games. In all, the Padres have lost eight of their last 11.



Jurrjens, who carries a 2.81 ERA in 13 home starts into the contest, beat the Padres in his lone start against them last May in Atlanta, a game in which he yielded one run on seven hits while fanning eight over six innings.



The Braves bounced back from a series opening loss at home to Florida to take the final two games against the Marlins over the weekend, giving them four wins in their last five outings. Considering San Diego's offensive woes of late combined with Latos' recent struggles, and Jurrjens' effectiveness this season (2.99 ERA on the year), it's worth laying the 1 1/2 runs to make Atlanta a manageable home favorite at a significantly reduced price.

[Mr. IWS]

25 Dime –

BRAVES (With Jurrjens) -1 ½ RUN LINE over PADRES (With Latos)

Take the Braves on the run line over the Padres tonight.

Atlanta has won 13 of 18 and is battling for a playoff spot. The Padres are 22 games under .500 and have lost 19 of 25 to Atlanta since the beginning of the 2006 season.

Two teams headed in decidedly different directions.

Jair Jurrjens will get the start for the Braves and he’s 10-8 with a 2.99 ERA on the year. The right-hander will be facing a Padres team that has been held to eight runs in their last five games while batting .160.

The Braves are averaging 5.6 runs per game in Jurrjens’ last 18 starts.

San Diego has lost eight of 11 overall and will start rookie Mat Latos. The right-hander was shelled in his last start and has lost two straight overall. Latos surrendered five runs, seven hits and four walks in just 3 2-3 innings in Wednesday’s 7-1 loss to the Cubs.

Atlanta has been one of the hottest teams in the league and should be able to win this game easily.

Take the Braves on the run line.

Tuesday ...
30-Dime Cubs -1' Runs (Zambrano over Mock - There isn’t a better opportunity than right now for the Cubs, if they plan on playing deep into October that is. Coming off that series-finale win over the Dodgers, the Cubbies are back home off that 2-5 road trip and are in desperate need of a winning run. They’ve lost 12 of 17, they’re eight games back of St. Louis in the National League and they currently reside in fifth place in the wild-card race.



That’s the bad news.



The good … the lovable baby bears are 35-22 at Wrigley Field and are averaging 5.0 runs per game there. They’ve taken seven of nine when Washington is visiting the North Side and they’re on a 6-0 run against it overall – including a four-game road sweep in D.C. a little more than a month ago.



So after a day of rest from the Southern Cal excursion, I’m banking on this team to be motivated after Sunday’s 3-1 win over the NL West-leading Dodgers. I am also banking on a pitching mismatch of huge proportion, as Carlos Zambrano toes the slab after a stint on the disabled list, making his first start since leaving with back spasms in Miami on Aug. 1.



The Big Z is a perfect 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA in his last five starts while the power right-hander is 7-2 with a 2.73 ERA in 10 outings against the Nationals, who have had no rest after losing 7-1 to Milwaukee last night at home.



Washington, which comes in after a 1-6 slide at home, will be playing its eighth game in as many days and 14th game the last 15 days.



This team won’t be prepared to challenge the Cubs, and that includes Nats right-hander Garrett Mock, who was tagged for seven runs (four earned) over 3-1/3 innings by these same Cubbies, losing his first start of the season on July 19.



All Cubs tonight, lay the run line with confidence.

15 Dime -- ANGELS (Lackey) -1 1/2 runs over Tigers (Washburn)

ANGELS
NOTE: List only Lackey as Los Angeles' starting pitcher

Tigers starter Jarrod Washburn (8-7, 3.18 ERA) has not been sharp since being acquired from Seattle on July 31.

In four starts with Detroit, Washburn is 0-1 with a 6.04 ERA. In his last outing, the left-hander allowed six runs and five hits in six innings Thursday in a no-decision against Seattle.

Washburn is back on the hill tonight in Anaheim, where he spent eight seasons with the Angels. The veteran southpaw is just 5-7 with a 5.01 ERA in 13 career starts against his old team, including 1-5 with a 5.97 ERA in his last six outings.

Even with the Angels, Washburn wasn't that effective pitching in Anaheim. In 99 career games (93 starts) at Angel Stadium, he is 30-37 with a 4.60 ERA.

Los Angeles ace John Lackey (8-6, 4.00) is coming off his worst start in six weeks. The right-hander gave up six runs on six hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings Thursday vs. Cleveland.

It was the first time in seven starts that the big Texan had allowed more than three earned runs and failed to pitch into the seventh inning. He is 6-0 with a 3.31 ERA in eight career starts against the Tigers, but hasn't faced them since 2007.

Lackey is shooting for his 100th career victory tonight. I think he'll have no problem getting it as the Angels' offense should be all over Washburn tonight, as Los Angeles is a major league-best 27-13 against lefties this year. Take the Angels on the run line.

I also have a nice starter trend in favor of the Cardinals starter that states when Adam Wainwright starts at home and in his previous game he allowed less than 8 hits he is 12-2 SU. I also have a nice trend against Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez that says when he starts as away dog and he allowed less than 5 hits in his last game he is 0-9 SU. Take the Cardinals for the home win.
