World Cup Game of the Day: England vs. Uruguay

England vs. Uruguay (+120, +260, Draw +240)

Luis Suarez will be back in the lineup - and back in the spotlight - as Uruguay looks to keep its World Cup hopes alive Thursday with a pivotal Group D matchup with England. Suarez missed Uruguay's tournament opener as he continues to recover from a knee injury, and was forced to watch his side put together a dismal effort in a stunning 3-1 loss to Costa Rica. The English were considerably stronger in defeat, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Italians.

With a loss by either team effectively knocking them out of the competition, Suarez will need to show he is fit following a month-long injury absence. Thursday's opponent knows him well; six of his Liverpool teammates will dress for England, and will be tasked with slowing down a talent that scored 31 goals for the Premier League runner-up. Neither team defended well in its opening match, and both spent plenty of time in the video room afterward.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, ESPN

WORLD RANKINGS: England: No. 10; Uruguay: No. 7.

INJURY REPORT: England: MF Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, recovering from a knee injury, practiced this week and is expected to return to the lineup; Uruguay: D Diego Lugano will miss the game with a knee injury; F Luis Suarez missed the opener with a knee injury but has been declared fit to face England; D Maxi Periera earned a red card against Costa Rica and will not play in the final two group stage games.

WHAT THE BOOKS SAY: "Both of these teams are coming off opening match losses, with the loser of this match surely eliminated from the tournament. England is the favorite in this match is (+600) to win Group D and (-110) to qualify for the next round. At (+110) England is seeing 86 percent of the action in this match against Uruguay while with the trend of overs hitting so far, the over 2.5 goal total is seeing 99 percent of the action." Michael Stewart, CarbonSports.ag.

ABOUT ENGLAND: After much fussing and hand-wringing, it appears Roy Hodgson is prepared to put Wayne Rooney back where he is most comfortable. Rooney played the opener on the flank but, while he did set up Sturridge's goal against Italy, he didn't generate much on his own and is still looking for his first career World Cup tally. Hodgson had his players practice penalty kicks with no goalkeeper present, using a special net with target holes the players had to hit.

ABOUT URUGUAY: While Suarez's return should buoy Uruguayan spirits - the star striker appeared comfortable during passing and dribbling drills with Forlan - but the loss of a pair of key defenders could cause problems for the South American side. Suarez believes his familiarity with several of the England players could prove valuable. "England have really good players who I played against all year," Suarez told reporters. "I know their defenders, the strikers and the coach as well."

TRENDS:

* Uruguay has four wins, three losses and three draws in their 10 previous meetings.
* England hasn't failed to reach the second stage at the World Cup since 1958.
* Just four of England's 22 shots against Italy came from inside the box.
* Forlan and Edinson Cavani had seven of Uruguay's nine shots in the opener.

Guarin available for Colombia Thursday
Andrew Avery

They may be without star striker Radamel Falcao, but the Colombians were still very impressive in a 3-0 rout over Greece in their first match. Now, they get another star player back after serving a suspension in that game.

Inter Milan star midfielder Fredy Guarin will return and is available to start the game versus Ivory Coast. Guarin, who scored four goals and had six assists in the Serie A season with Inter, could feature as a deep-lying playmaker behind fist game superstar James RodrÃ*guez.

At Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/) Sports, Colombia is currently a +116 fave, with the Draw +244 and Ivory Coast +275.

Thursday's WCup Tips
By Toby Maxtone-Smith

Uruguay vs. England (ESPN, 3:00 p.m. ET)

Uruguay face England in Thursday’s most important World Cup match at the Arena São Paulo. Both teams lost their opening group matches, but in very different circumstances. While England came out of an unlucky 2-1 defeat to Italy with some credit, there was some serious soul-searching to be done in the Uruguayan camp as the two-time champions went down 3-1 to Costa Rica.

Italy look very likely to qualify, and unless Costa Rica prove that their victory over Uruguay was no flash in the pan, this game could go a long way to deciding who follows Italy to the knockout stages. A defeat would be almost fatal. A draw would be a better result for Roy Hodgsons’s England side - they would back themselves to get a better result against Costa Rica than Uruguay do against Italy (assuming Italy beat Costa Rica on Friday).

The big team news is that Luis Suarez returns for Uruguay. He terrorised the English Premier League last year and will be the key if the South Americans are to unlock the English defence. For England, the main question comes over the role of Wayne Rooney. Will he play through the middle, or on the left. Will he play at all?

England’s good performance against Uruguay has seen them backed into 91/100 favourites with Sportsbook.ag, but this seems too short against a side that, whatever its faults, has good tournament experience. Uruguay are 14/5 with a draw chalked up at 27/10.

Traditionally, both these teams have had their strength in defence, but I’d question whether that is the case this year. England creative lots of chances against Italy, and they have a less formidable defence than at most past tournaments, with full-backs Glen Johnson and Leighton Baines particularly suspect defensively.

Likewise Uruguay aren’t great at the back. Diego Godin had a fine season with Atletico Madrid, but his partner is 33 year-old Diego Lugano. Never the quickest, Lugano’s lack of pace has now become a severe problem. It forces Uruguay to sit very deep and play too uncreative destroyers in central-midfield, both of whom have disciplinary problems. Daniel Sturridge, who leads the England attack, is very quick and can certainly exploit this lack of pace. I’m very keen on over 2.5 goals at 19/20.

The joint leaders of the First Goalscorer market are Liverpool duo Sturridge and Suarez, both at 4/1. With superior service and without a strike partner to take half his chances, Sturridge looks a better shout at the prices. Raheem Sterling, who almost broke the deadlock for England against Italy and was their outstanding player, is now as short as 7/1 to score first. Rickie Lambert will be England’s Plan B - it is easy to foresee him scoring late on.

Top Bet: Over 2.5 goals - 27/10


Colombia vs. Ivory Coast (ESPN, 12:00 p.m. ET)

In the first game of the day, Colombia meet Ivory Coast. Having been backed from 150/1 three years ago into around 25/1 now, Colombia are tipped by many to do well in Brazil. They were very convincing in a 3-0 win against a limited Greece side, and they are 11/10 favourites to all but seal qualification with a win in BrasÃ*lia. Ivory Coast came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in their first game, putting them in a great position to qualify.

Ivory Coast are available at 23/10 here, and a draw is 5/2, but I’d be inclined to get on Colombia. They have the attacking weapons to open up the ageing Ivorian defence. Juan Cuadrado was excellent on the wing against Greece, while James Rodriguez in behind Teofilo Gutierrez both have lots of goals in them.

In Kolo Touré and Sol Bamba, Ivory Coast have a defence that is vulnerable to pace, and Colombia certainly have that.

Top Bet: Colombia to win at 11/10


Greece vs. Japan (ESPN, 6:00 p.m. ET)

In a real ‘do or die’ game in Natal, both Japan and Greece know that a defeat is likely to end their participation at the World Cup, while a draw would not be of much more help. This is a must-win. Japan played some good stuff in their 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast, but as so often, they were let down in both penalty areas. Their finishing wasn’t good enough, and their defending was naive. Everywhere else, they were excellent.

Greece were totally outplayed in a 3-0 defeat to Colombia in a match they did not for one moment look like getting anything out of. There is a chronic lack of creative players in their team, although their defence is not the worst.

Japan should win this one. They are the 11/10 favourites and rightfully so. Greece are at 11/4 with a draw at 5/2. While Greece’s centre-backs are good, their two full-backs (particularly left-back Jose Holebas) often get caught far too high up the field. Japan have the pace and the quick passing to exploit that. Shinji Okazaki, who can play both wide right and up front, looks a good pick for first goalscorer at 6/1. He has scored 38 in 76 goals, and has recently become the regular goalscorer Japan have craved.

Top Bets: Japan to win at 11/10, Shinji Okazaki to score first at 6/1

Colombia, Ivory Coast collide Thursday

2014 WORLD CUP SOCCER

COLOMBIA vs. IVORY COAST

Kickoff: Thursday, 12:00 p.m. EDT
Estadio Nacional – Brasilia, Brazil

Line:
Colombia -142, Ivory Coast +325, Tie +240
Over/Under: 2.5 Goals

Colombia meets Ivory Coast Thursday afternoon in what will be a Group C match with major implications in terms of which teams will be advancing to the knockout round.

Colombia may not have played a flawless game against Greece in their opening match of Group C play, but they were able to finish when they needed to. They now turn their attention to an Ivory Coast team that also won their first game.

Colombia lost the time of possession battle to Greece as they held the ball for just 46% of the game, but it didn’t matter. Colombia pounced on Greece early with a goal by Pablo Armero just five minutes into the game. From there, Greece was playing catch-up and they were never able to put one in the net. Colombia outshot Greece 8-7 on goal and despite their lack of possession, they were getting themselves plenty of quality looks. Teofilo Gutierrez put the game out of reach for Greece with a goal at the 58-minute mark and then James Rodriguez added one in extra time for good measure. This team showed plenty of offensive potency and is looking like the darkhorse candidate that many said they were prior to the tournament.

Ivory Coast didn’t shut out their opponent in their opening Group C match, but they did get the job done with a 2-1 victory over Japan. The team showed plenty of heart as the first half of the game did not go their way.

Sixteen minutes into their first game of the World Cup, Ivory Coast found themselves down 1-0 after a left-footed shot from Keisuke Honda found the back of the net for Japan. Ivory Coast was all over Japan despite trailing for most of the game. They had possession for 57% of the match and outshot their opponents 10-4 on goal. Whether it was just a coincidence or not, Ivory Coast subbed in Didier Drogba at the 63-minute mark. With their leader on the field, the team was able to turn the game around. Sixty-four minutes into the game, Wilfried Bony tied the game up with a header and then two minutes later, Gervinho headed home another to give Ivory Coast a 2-1 lead. They would hold on for a win and can now really improve their chances of making it to the knockout round with a win over what is a heavily favored Colombia team.

Japan, Greece desperate for win Thursday
By: Zach Cohen - StatFox


2014 WORLD CUP SOCCER

JAPAN vs. GREECE

Kickoff: Thursday, 6:00 p.m. EDT
Estadio Das Dunas – Natal, Brazil

Line:
Japan -105, Greece +270, Tie +270
Over/Under: 2.5 Goals (Over +105, Under -135)

Japan and Greece meet Thursday evening with both teams needing a victory in order to give themselves a chance of advancing to the knockout round.

Japan was right there in their opening game of group play, but they were unable to hold onto a lead and now find themselves in a must-win situation against Greece on Thursday.

Despite being outplayed for most of the game, Japan had a chance to beat Ivory Coast in their tournament-opening match. Ivory Coast won the battle in time of possession by 14% and shots on goal by six shots. Japan, however, was the team to strike first in the game. At the 16-minute mark, Keisuke Honda found the back of the net to give Japan the 1-0 lead. For another 48 minutes of play, Japan was able to keep Ivory Coast from scoring but then Ivory Coast scored at both the 64-minute mark and then the 66-minute mark. Japan was unable to get themselves any other quality chances to tie it up and will now need at least a point to stay in contention, but a victory over Greece would certainly mean a lot more heading into their third match.

Greece was actually involved in a much different game than the one Japan played. Unlike their next opponents, Greece did a good job of keeping possession and generating chances, but their inability to finish had them being blown out in the end.

Greece was in control of the tempo for a majority of the game, but they did not find the back of the net and that was what doomed them. Greece won the battle in time of possession with 54% compared to Colombia’s 46% in the opening game. They also had seven shots on goal which was just one less than Colombia’s eight. The problem was that Colombia was able to connect on three of their eight shots and Greece couldn’t convert at all. Pablo Armero scored the game’s first goal at the five-minute mark, and that would prove to be the game-winner despite Greece’s solid effort. If they can put away some of their chances, they should have an excellent opportunity to come away with an upset win over Japan.

Nationals gear up for important series vs. Atlanta
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals proved on their road trip last week that they can beat a good team away from home, as they took three out of four against the San Francisco Giants in the middle leg of a three-city trip.

Starting at home Thursday night, the Nationals will try and find out if they can finally win a series against the Atlanta Braves.

Washington lost five of six games to Atlanta this season, with the only win coming April 6 during a three-game series at Nationals Park.

The Braves and St. Louis Cardinals, who swept a three-game series this past weekend against visiting Washington, have been thorns in the side of the Nationals the past few years.

"We know what is at stake ... even in the middle of June," Washington right fielder Jayson Werth said.

The Nationals have now won their last five games at home and seven of the last eight.

The starting pitcher for Atlanta in the first game of the series on Thursday will be a familiar name to Washington-area baseball fans: right-hander Gavin Floyd, who grew up in nearby Annapolis, Maryland and went to high school in Baltimore

Zobrist key to Rays breaking out of slump
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- If the Tampa Bay Rays have any chance of turning things around this season, they will need second baseman Ben Zobrist to break out of his slump. The former All-Star has been struggling at the plate and in the field this year as he committed his sixth error Wednesday after having just five in the 2013 season.

"We've never seen Zobrist kind of struggle," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He's been really solid for us the last several years and I anticipate he's going to be again. He's going through a rough stretch right now."

Zobrist was 0-for-4 Wednesday and 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position. He is 6-for-57 with runners in scoring position this season. With the Rays struggling to score runs on most nights and power-hitting outfielder Wil Myers out until at least August, it's going to be up to Zobrist, first baseman James Loney and third baseman Evan Longoria to provide the offense on a nightly basis.

"We're all working very hard to turn this around and it's going to happen soon," Zobrist said. "We just have to keep picking each other up."

SPORTS WAGERS

Colombia +115 over Ivory Coast

Colombia is simply the better team here. Notably, Ivory Coast has been to the world’s greatest tournament in the past three occasions and has never been able to make it past the group stages. Ivory Coast has some celebrated footballers on their roster including Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and the Toure brothers. Perhaps respectable results including a draw against Belgium, Russia and Nigeria have prompted odds makers to give Ivory Coast an outside lane to pull off a draw or upset. However, the Elephants have had trouble against quality opponents like Mexico and Nigeria. The Elephants only managed to accumulate two strikes in those two fixtures while surrendering six goals against. This has always been the problem with Ivory Coast, they have the talent to score goals but they cannot defend well against them.

Colombia will take full advantage of this, as they are a hard-nosed and physical football team. This is a team that has quality from back to front. Captain Mario Yepes anchors a tough back four that earned seven clean sheets in qualifying. The attacking midfield features world-class talent with James Rodriguez in the middle and Freddy Guarin on the wing. As it stands, they’ll be feeding Jackson Martinez, who’s been prolific for Porto and complemented by the speedy Luiz Nuriel and poacher Carlos Bacca. In the end, Columbia knows how to score plenty of goals while not allowing the opposition near their own net. That figures to be on display here.


Greece +261 over Japan

The odds makers have struck again and the target is Greece, yet again. The culprits have projected Greece as an underdog against a Japan team that is clearly inferior to Greece in talent and capability. Notably, the Japanese are architects of some great upsets. In 2010, Japan managed to catapult forward to the Knockout Stage in South Africa. However, Japan did not have to deal with Ivory Coast, Greece and Colombia to get there. Greece has since elevated to a top-tier European power and they have eclipsed the top twelve after impressive play in UEFA qualification. Japan emerges as a middle tier club from a mediocre sect of qualification. Greece is a club of no-name players who operate as a cohesive unit. Nevertheless, the Greeks have put together an impressive resume.

With Colombia as the favorite to win Group C, there will most likely be a battle for second between perennial contender Ivory Coast and the ever-explosive Greeks. This match-up will be quintessential for Greece’s survival, as they need these three points after losing its opener. Japan seems more determined to play well than they do to win games. Perhaps it’s a symptom of qualifying through relatively easy opposition in the Asian confederation, where Japan can play their attack minded game without fear. Against tougher competition, though, they get stung, as they did against Ivory Coast in its opener. Japan won praise for their stylish play in the Confederation Cup but they failed to win a game and losing becomes very contagious. Japan is the easiest fixture for Greece to navigate and so the Greeks figure to take care of business in this one.

This appears to be another good matchup today for the visiting Angels, who have enjoyed lots of success against Justin Masterson (4-5, 5.05) over his career.

He will be opposed by the Angels C.J. Wilson (7-6, 3.50), who has been the victim of limited run support from the Angel offense. The Angels are 15-6 in Wilson's last 21 starts as a road favorite, so he has really given them good chances on the road. That continues today as LA takes another one from the Tribe. The Sharps say...

Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals

The eyes of most baseball fans, as well as those focused on baseball betting, will be on what figures to be an important divisional series, when the Washington Nationals host the Atlanta Braves tonight for the start of a four-game series at Nationals Park. According to the current betting odds at Bovada, Washington is a -$1.55 home favorite largely due to the recent success of it's starter. That pitcher is Jordan Zimmermann (5-3, 2.98 ERA) who's record does not give justice to current form. The right-hander has been light's out in June tossing 25 innings of 1 run ball, striking out 21, walking just 2 batters while posting a miniscule 0.36 ERA. Nationals have flourished opening a series with the hurler posting a 12-6 record, have won 15 of Zimmermann's last 19 June starts and have had a run of success as favorite in their home surroundings with the right-hander winning 22-of-30 games. Those numbers are compelling of reasons to back Washington w/Zimmermann over Braves w/Gavin Floyd pitching this game having been touched for 20 hits, 10 runs, 4 long-ball the past three on the mound.

Thursday's Tip Sheet
By Kevin Rogers


Braves at Nationals

Probable Pitchers:
ATL: Floyd (1-2, 2.98 ERA)
WSH: Zimmermann (5-3, 2.98 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Braves head to the Nation’s Capital after getting swept at home by the Phillies, while losing 4.9 units in the process. Atlanta’s pitching was lit up, allowing 21 runs to Philadelphia, while giving up at least five runs in seven of the past nine contests. The Nationals rallied to knock off the Astros, 6-5 to cash as -175 home favorites, improving to 7-1 in the last eight home contests.

What to watch for: This series has been owned by the Braves in 2014, as Atlanta is 5-1 in the first six matchups, including a three-game sweep at Turner Field in April. The Nationals have won five of their past seven home series openers, while Zimmermann has yielded just one run in the previous three trips to the mound.

Blue Jays at Yankees

Probable Pitchers:
TOR: Hutchison (5-4, 3.62 ERA)
NYY: Phelps (2-4, 4.32)

Series recap: The Yankees continued their dominance of the Blue Jays at home, beating Toronto for the 15th straight time in the Bronx in last night’s 7-3 rout. New York has knocked off Toronto five of seven times overall this season, while limiting the Jays’ offense to just four runs through the first two games of this series.

What to watch for: Thanks to a late surge by the Yankees on Wednesday, the Jays saw their 10-0-1 ‘under’ stretch come to a close as the ‘over’ of 9 barely hit. Toronto hasn’t been swept on the road this season, posting a 2-0 record when trying to avoid a sweep with wins at Kansas City and Pittsburgh. The Yankees have not pulled off a home sweep this season in a series of at least three games, but the Bombers are 6-3 in their last nine home contests against division foes.

Mets at Marlins

Probable Pitchers:
NYM: Wheeler (2-7, 4.38 ERA)
MIA: Heaney (ML Debut)

Previous series recap: The Mets held off the Cardinals on Wednesday, 3-2 to avoid a sweep at Busch Stadium, while snapping an eight-game road skid. The Marlins dropped two of three games at home to the Cubs, as Miami’s pitching allowed 16 runs in this series. Following a strong start to the season at home, Miami has stumbled to a 4-8 record in the past 12 games at Marlins Park.

What to watch for: The last time these teams met up in May, the Marlins pulled off a three-game sweep of the Mets, as New York failed to score a run in the final two losses. Miami hasn’t started hot in a series recently, posting a 3-8 record in the past 11 Game 1’s. The Mets have dropped five of Wheeler’s last six starts, but the right-hander has split a pair of outings against the Marlins this season.

Astros at Rays

Probable Pitchers:
HOU: McHugh (4-4, 3.03 ERA)
TAM: Archer (3-4, 3.40 ERA)

Previous series recap: Both teams are coming off series losses, as the Rays’ offense hit the wall again in a 2-0 defeat to the Orioles on Wednesday as -145 favorites. Tampa Bay dropped two of three to Baltimore, falling to 3-8 in the past 11 games at Tropicana Field. Houston put up a good fight in two games at Washington, but lost by exact 6-5 scores in the two losses, while giving up a 5-3 lead last night.

What to watch for: The Rays played well at Houston last weekend and grabbed two of three from the Astros for their first series win since late May against Boston. Archer is winless in his past four trips to the mound for the Rays, including a 7-3 setback last Saturday at Houston in which he lasted just three innings. Following an 8-1 stretch on the road, the Astros have dropped three straight on the highway, but have stolen four of their past six away series openers.

Phillies at Cardinals

Probable Pitchers:
PHI: Buchanan (2-3, 5.97 ERA)
STL: Miller (7-5, 3.42 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Phillies are coming off an impressive sweep over the Braves, as Philadelphia’s bats are finally waking up by scoring 10 runs on Wednesday. The Cardinals saw their five-game winning streak come to a halt in Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat to the Mets, as St. Louis allowed more than two runs for just the second time in the last 10 contests.

What to watch for: Both these teams are on fire at the moment, as Philadelphia is picking things up with wins in seven of its past nine contests, while St. Louis owns an 8-2 mark in the last 10 games. After a three-start winless stretch, the Cardinals have won each of Miller’s last two trips to the mound, including as an underdog against the Nationals last Saturday. In Buchanan’s two road starts, the Phillies have been outscored, 11-1, while Philadelphia has hit the ‘under’ in four of his five outings.

THURSDAY WORLD CUP SOCCER


7 Unit Play. Take Uruguay + ½ -120 over England (3:00p.m., Thursday, June 19 ESPN) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time)
Uruguay is coming off a big upset at the hands of Costa Rica 3-1 but today I see a big improvement from this Uruguay squad. Luis Suarez will be on the field to start the game today and just with him on the field this will cause the Three Lions some headaches. England comes off a loss to Italy 2-1 but they were impressive with the youngsters on the field but again I lean towards Uruguay in this matchup. With the fearsome strike pairing of Uruguay (Cavani, Forlan, and Saurez) and England's top scores this game will be exciting and I see either Uruguay stealing this game or I see a Draw. Either way we cash with La Celeste (Uruguay) with plus a half a goal.

MLB Game: Cincinnati Reds @ Pittsburgh Pirates
Time: Thursday 06/19 12:35 PM Eastern
Pick: Pittsburgh +103 (moneyline)

There was a lot of anticipation coming into this season for both of these teams, but as we close in on the All-Star break neither has been able to shed the label of a mediocre .500 or so team. The Reds targeted Homer Bailey as a top-of-the-rotation pitcher, and gave him a huge long-term contract. Bailey has gone 7-3, but he has pitched a lot worse than the lofty record with a 4.68 ERA on the season. Jeff Locke has allowed just 3 runs in his last two outings, and has been the better pitcher in this matchup. Locke has also handled the Reds’ lineup as he is 2-1 lifetime against them with a 3.04 ERA. The Reds struggle against left-handed pitching at just 3-8 in their last 11 against them, and Bailey is just 3-10 in his last 13 in the role of a road dog. Make the play on Pittsburgh.

Toronto @ N.Y. YANKEES

Toronto -109 over N.Y. YANKEES

(Risking 2.18 units - To Win: 2.00)

The Blue Jays have dropped 15 in a row at Yankee Stadium, which is remarkable in itself but in no way is it going to deter us from playing them today. The streak very likely ends today against David Phelps. Phelps has appeared in 17 games this season with eight of those coming as a starter. Starter or reliever? Last two years, you decide... As SP: 4.42 ERA, 1.36 WHIP. As RP: 3.57 ERA, 1.25 WHIP. Whether he starts or relieves, Phelps’ upside is really limited by lack of a dominant pitch. His fastball barely hits 90 mph. His low swing and miss rate of 5% in no way supports the 50 K’s he has in 58 frames. His strikeout rate is a sure thing to decrease significantly and with eroding control, that's a recipe for failure.

The Yankees lineup scares nobody. It’s one fading veteran after another and the key to defeating them is keeping Brett Gardner in check. He’s the catalyst of a Yankees offense that has been averaging a low 3½ runs per game at home this entire season. Drew Hutchison has been fantastic on the road this season, where five of his last six starts have been outstanding. In nine road starts this season, Hutchison is 4-1 with a 1.79 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP and elite command in 60.1 IP. When Drew Hutchison is a pick-em or less against David Phelps, it’s a bet that must be made every time because he and that much more dangerous Blue Jays lineup should be at least -130 or more every time. We get the superior offense plus the superior starter at a cheap price we'll make that wager every time.


Milwaukee @ ARIZONA

Milwaukee -1 +108 over ARIZONA

(Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.16)

3:40 PM EST. Chase Anderson is 5-1 with a 3.21 ERA but it’s all a mirage. In six starts, only two of them have been of the pure quality variety and that’s because he throws a lot of pitches, works deep into counts and has only made it out of the sixth inning twice. Anderson has been taken deep six times in 33 frames and his groundball/line-drive/fly-ball profile of 37%/31%/37% is one of the more troublesome profiles in baseball. Anderson has an xERA of 5.32 over his last three starts. He’s been aided by an extremely lucky 83% strand rate and when you look at all those hard hit balls in his profile, it makes that strand rate look like an even bigger mirage. Anderson jumped from Double-AA to the big leagues and it’s only a matter of time before the effects of skipping Triple AAA are exposed. He’s not MLB ready just yet and we trust these Brewers to get to him early and often.

Yovani Gallardo is 4-4 after 14 starts with an ERA of 3.51. He’s coming off back-to-back gems against Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and he appears to be getting stronger. In 2013 and into the first two months of this season Gallardo’s numbers were not pretty and it was due to a plummeting strikeout rate. However, Gallardo’s K rate is creeping back up to pre-2013 levels and the results have followed. Over his past 29 innings, Gallardo has struck out 29 batters. That’s been supported by an elite 14% swing and miss rate. Gallardo also has an outstanding groundball rate of 53% and an elite line-drive rate of just 18%. Gallardo’s xERA over his last three starts is 2.21, which is one of the top-5 in the majors over the last three starts. It's becoming clear that Gallardo is returning to his old ace form, but because of his struggles in 2013 and at the start of this year, he’s priced like a mid-rotation starter and that’s something we can take advantage of.

The Mets actually hit well against left handed starters at just under 5 runs a game while Miami scores about that when they play at home. Miami will start Heaney tonight in his debut. This guy is going to be a good pitcher in this league, but there will be the growing pains. This Marlins pitching staff has been getting rocked. Wheeler has also been struggling for the Mets. In a humid Florida night look for some offense. Take the Over.

My 60 Dime MLB winner for tonight is the UNDER in the Interleague clash between the Seatlte Mariners and San Diego Padres. As I release this play at 7:15 a.m. pacific, I see the line on this game is 7-under, -110. And make note I want you to be sure the auto-listed pitchers are Erasmo Ramirez and Jesse Hahn.

Mariners at Padres

San Diego Padres -119

The San Diego Padres will try and win their second straight today a feat that they have accomplished only once in their last 11 tries after a win. As a matter of fact the weak hitting Padres are just 2-8 in their last 10 games overall and the Mariners have won 16 of their last 23 meetings in San Diego. Aside from rookie starter Jesse Hahn (1-1, 3.72 ERA) has just 10minnigs under his belt but has allowed only seven hits. The best things the Padres have working for them is that Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez (1-4, 5.27) is very hittable surrendering 48 hits in 42 innings.
