2 UNIT = Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles - ORIOLES TO WIN (-123)
Listed Pitchers: Cook vs Gonzalez
(Note: I'm risking 2.46 units to win 2.00 units)

Baltimore took the first game of this series last night with a 7-1 victory. The Orioles are now 8-2 over their last 10 games and are 63-53 on the season (31-28 at home) sitting in an AL Wild Card spot. The Red Sox are 57-60 on the year after last night's loss and are 2-5 over their past 7 games. Boston has Aaron Cook on the mound tonight to fill in for Felix Doubront who will skip a start. Cook is 3-5 on the season with a 4.70 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and .276 opponents batting average. In his last start he allowed juts 1 earned run over 7 innings at home against Texas, but in his previous two starts he went 4.0 and 4.2 innings allowing 12 earned runs combined. Baltimore has Miguel Gonzalez on the rubber who is 4-2 on the season with a 3.42 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and .233 opponents batting average. Over his last two starts he has pitched a combined 15 innings allowing just 8 hits and 1 earned run against. Take note that the Red Sox are just 4-10 in their last 14 games as a road underdog, 6-13 in their last 19 games as an underdog overall, and 1-4 in their last 5 games vs a team with a winning record. The Orioles are 7-2 in their last 9 home games, 6-1 in their last 7 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150, 6-2 in their last 8 vs divisional opponents, and 4-1 in Gonzalez's last 5 starts. Head to head the Orioles have gone 11-4 in their last 15 meetings. Everyone is just waiting for this Baltimore team to fade but they continue to play solid baseball, and I like them get things done tonight behind Gonzalez who has been impressive.

SPORTS WAGERS - MLB Dog Day Wednesday!

Cleveland vs. L.A. ANGELS
Cleveland +154 over L.A. ANGELS
In case you can’t find information on Indians starter Roberto Hernandez, let us bring you up to speed. Formerly known as Fausto Carmona, Hernandez was arrested in the Dominican Republic back in January outside the U.S. consulate as he tried to renew his visa. That's when it was discovered his name was Hernandez and that he is 31-years-old, three years older than listed. He comes off his suspension to make this start and it’s worth noting he received a warm and hero-like welcome from all his teammates. They’ll be extra jacked here in support of their long standing mate.
In four rehab starts covering 24 innings, Hernandez struck out 20 and walked four. Despite ugly outward stats of 7-15, 5.25 ERA in 2011, Hernandez deserved better (xERA 3.95), as he was hurt by a 64% strand rate. Given his historic extreme-ground-ball rate of 56% and low line drive rate, better results await.
The Angels second half push hasn't exactly gone as planned, as they are only 13-16 since the All-Star break. Earvin Santana has been hit hard all season long. He has 47 walks and just 87 K’s in 128 innings to go along with a 5.82 ERA. Santana is 1-8 in 13 career starts versus the Indians, including two losses this season. In his last start against them on July 4, he gave up eight earned runs in 1.1 IP. Pitching for the underachieving and uninspired Halos, Santana doesn’t deserve this billing.

Houston vs CHICAGO
Houston +118 over CHICAGO
2:20 PM EST. The Astros unleashed three months of frustration yesterday with their first lopsided win in a long time. Houston has now won three of its last five, scoring 6, 4 and 10 runs respectively in those three wins.
Bud Norris as a +118 pooch against 30-year-old career minor leaguer pitching for the 45-70 Cubs is ridiculous. Norris is significantly better than his 4.93 ERA and 1.41 WHIP might reflect. Few starters show the dominance and command that Norris owns vs. RH bats and the Cubs mostly bat that way. Norris has 68 K’s with just 9 walks vs. righties compared to 41 base on balls vs. lefties. That disparity vs. lefties has been his downfall. Overall, Norris has 125 K’s in 122 innings and an xERA of 3.28. There's a lot of upside here.
The Cubs are Justin Germano’s sixth team since 2004. He had one season with 20+ starts and that was back in 2007 as a Padre when he posted a 4.46 ERA that year. Germano has started a mere 39 games in his career, and the results have been an uninspiring 9-22 record with a 4.68 ERA. Norris and the ‘Stros offer up significant value in this one.

TOP PLAYS

3 UNIT PLAYS

POWER ANGLE PLAY

Philadelphia -140 over MIAMI: I know that DR Ed posted this query earlier and while I don't always use the ones he posts I will because It really backs my play on the Phils. Let's also note that the Phils are 8-0 when Halladay starts as a favorite and they have won at least their last 3 in a row. The Phils are playing very good right now and are off two straight shutouts of the Fish. Last night was actually Miami's 3 straight game being shutout. they can't hit at all and losing Ramirez has made this offense even more stagnant than before. Miami has struggled to score at home, but in their last 11 games here they have put up just 2.3 rpg, nad they have scored just 9 runs in the first 5 games of this homestand. Getting that offense going today vs Halladay may not be easy. Roy is starting to pitch well as he has allowed just 1 ER in his last 2 starts. He faced Miami earlier this year and allowed just 1 ER in 7 innings of work, while in his 9 starts vs them as a Phil, his team is 6-3 and he has a 2.05 ERA in those 9 starts. The Phils offense is not great but should get to face a struggling Buehrle, who comes in with an 0-3 mark and a 6.84 ERA in his last 5 starts. Phils should get enough off of him for the win. The Fish are really floundering right now (Pun Intended) as they have gone 5-11 in their last 16 games, while the Phils are building momentum for next year going 7-3 in their last 10 games and I expect both trends to continue here. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- Since 2010 the Phils are 20-0 when they are favorites of 110+ and off a win in which they scored first but not after the 3rd inning.

Washington/ San Francisco Over 6.5: Google News Play I know that Tim has pitched well of late, but even in his best days as a San Fran starter he has struggled with this team, posting a 7.52 ERA in his last 5 starts vs them, with 9 or more runs being scored in 4 of the 5 games. Both of his last 2 starts here vs them there has been at least 9 runs scored and he has allowed 10 ER's in 9.2 innings over the two starts. The Nats offense has been getting better this year and they did score 14 runs in game 1 of this series. Washington scores 4.7 rpg on the road, but have put up 5.7 rpg in the first 9 games of this trip so far. The San Fran offense has troubles scoring at home, where they average just 3.4 rpg, but they are getting healthy and have put up 6.5 rpg in their last 4 here. Overall the San Fran offense is coming together as they have averaged a very nice 5.6 rpg in their last 10 games. Strasburg is tough and has a 2.41 ERA on the road, but we also know that he will be in their for no more than 6 innings and the Nats pen has a 3.22 ERA on the road. Both offenses are hot and should be able to at least grab 3 runs each vs these starters/ pens.

Tampa Bay/ Seattle Under 6.5: Google News Play Both of these starters have been dominant vs their opponents today as Hernandez comes in with a 1.74 ERA in his last starts vs the Rays and a 1.40 ERA in his last 3 starts here vs them, while Jeremy Hellickson has an 0.92 ERA in 4 career starts vs the M's and in 2 career starts here he has allowed just 2 ER's in 14.1 innings of work. Felix has allowed 2 ER's or less in 8 of his last 10 starts and in his last 10 vs the Rays he has allowed more than 3 ER's just once. The Rays hit anbd score better on the road, where they have a .243 average and score 4.47 rpg, but in 121 AB's vs King Felix, Ray hitters are hitting just .182 and have knocked in a mere 6 runs in those AB's. The Rays have just 4 extra base hits in that stretch and all 4 are doubles. The Mariners have a tone of problems scoring at home, where they average just 3.1 rpg and hit just .205. Vs righties at home they hit just .198 and score 3.49 rpg. Let's also note that Tampa Bay day games have gone 25-14 to the Under, while Seattle day games have gone 23-11 to the Under. This park gives up a total of 6.3 rpg and with these two starters on the mound and some weak offense I find uit hard to believe these teams will even hit 6 runs, especially since the last 4 in the series has hit no more than 5 runs. look for the same in this one.
