POWER ANGLE PLAY

CLEVELAND -144 over Kansas City: Ok the Royals broke their losing streak and that is a lot of pressure off this team, so they may relax a bit here. The Tribe, on the other hand, was the team that allowed them to stop their losing ways, so you can bet they will be looking for some payback here. Luis Mendoza has struggled for KC, with an 0-2 mark and a 6.92 ERA, plus he has 1 start in his career vs Cleveland (this year) and he allowed 9 runs (5 ER) in just 4 innings in that game. Josh Tomlin is 1-1 with a 4.86 ERA on the year, while in his last 4 starts vs the Royals he is 3-1 with a 3.51 ERA, including a 2-0 mark with a 3.00 ERA in his last 2 starts vs them here. The Tribe is still struggling with their offense at home, but they shold break out in a big way today and get some revenge for last night's loss. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- Since April 2009, the Royals are 4-27 on the road vs an AL opponent that is seeking immediate revenge for a loss in which they never led.


DETROIT -1.5 (-110) over Seattle: (Added) So how much is one player worth to a team. Detroit was given the world series title by many (including me), thanks to the signing of Fielder, but they are just not playing all that well right now, especially after they lost the first two at home in this series. Today they should be able to bounce back with an easy win here. The Detroit offense has really struggled of late, but they should open it up today vs Hector Noesi, who is 1-2 on the year with a 9.49 ERA, while in 5 total career starts he is 1-3 with a 9.53 ERA. Rick Porcello has struggled out the gate this year, with a 1-1 mark and a 6.32 ERA, but he is 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA vs the M's, plus when he picks up a win (as expected today) he has a solid 2.35 ERA. Detroit really needs to start flexing their muscles and they should be able to start to day vs a very weak pitcher. Look for Detroit to get revenge for their last 2 losses as they win this one by 4 +runs.


Miami/ NY Mets Over 7.5: We got some wind blowing out to right here and that should help. Johnathon Niese has a solid 2.89 ERA to start, but a 4.50 ERA in his 2 home starts, with 9.5 rpg scored in those 2 starts. Niese also has a 5.93 ERA in his last 5 starts vs the Fish. Ricky Nolasco has a 3.93 ERA overall this year, with his games averaging 9.3 rpg. Ricky has a 5.27 ERA in 21 appearances (19 starts) vs the Mets and a 5.10 ERA in 5 career starts here, plus 9 of he last 10 starts vs the Mets have produced at least 9 runs in each game. Wind blowing out, two starters that have struggled vs their opposition and two offenses that have the ability to put some runs on the board. This one should reach at least 9 runs with ease.

2 UNIT PLAY

San Francisco/ Cincinnati Over 8: Both pitchers have been decent this year so far, but neither has fared well vs today's opposition. Ryan Vogelsong has an 8.43 ERa in his last 4 starts vs the Reds overall and a 4.50 ERA in 1 start here. Homer bailey has 4 starts in his career vs the Giants and hae has a 6.35 ERA vs them with each of the last 3 starts putting at least 13 runs on the board. Great American park is really a hitters park and even more so in the day time, plus we have the added bonus of a solid wind (14 mph or so) blowing out to right. Look for about 10 runs in this one.

Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles - OVER 9.5 RUNS (+105)
Listed Pitchers: Hutchison vs Matusz

(Note: I'm risking 2 units to win 2.10 units)
Analysis
Baltimore looks for a three game sweep of the Blue Jays tonight, as they've taken the first two games by scores of 2-1 and 3-0. After scoring 22 runs in four games in Kansas City the Blue Jays bats have slowed down, but that can be credited to Tommy Hunter and Jason Hammel who did a good job on the mound in their respective starts. Tonight Baltimore will send Brian Matusz to the mound, who has already faced Toronto this season. Matusz went 5.2 innings in his start against the Blue Jays allowing 7 hits and 5 earned runs while striking out 4 and walking 4. On the season Matusz is 0-3 with a 7.98 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, and .349 opponents batting average. Last season Matusz was 1-9 with a 10.69 ERA over 10 starts with the Orioles. Tonight's starter for the Blue Jays is Drew Hutchison who will make his second Major League start. Hutchison got the win in Kansas City in his first MLB start although he allowed 8 hits and 5 earned runs in 5.1 innings of work while striking out 4 and walking 3 batters. Take note that the OVER is 18-6-2 in the Blue Jays last 26 games with a high total set between 9 and 10.5. The OVER is also 6-2 in their last 8 divisional games, and 6-2-1 in their last 9 vs a starter with a WHIP higher than 1.30. The OVER is 8-3 in Matusz' last 11 starts overall, and 4-1 in his last 5 home starts. The OVER is also 8-3-1 in these two teams last 12 meetings despite their first two meetings of this series going under the posted total. Runs should come fairly easy in this one - take the OVER. The line has moved since posting this play late last night and you can get it at OVER 9 (-110) right now.

WUNDERDOG
MLB 56-68 Season-to-Date +$970
Game: San Francisco at Cincinnati (12:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: San Francisco +110 (moneyline)

The Cincinnati Reds have gotten the better of the San Francisco Giants in the first two games of this series, taking them both. Ryan Vogelsong has yet to record a win for the Giants, but he has pitched well with a 3.38 ERA entering today's contest. The Reds have allowed 15 runs in Bailey's three starts, so there should be plenty of opportunities for the Giants. San Francisco is 9-3 in Vogelsong's last 12 starts after they scored two runs or less in their previous game. It's tough to get the sweep, especially against a competent opponent with a better than average starting pitcher. Play on San Francisco.

***TOP PLAY*** 5* 46-0 MLB Game of the Week (41-13 Run)!

Toronto Bluejays ML-115


Free advice:

The Boston Celtics were below .500 at the All-Star break, yet have won the Atlantic Division and secured a No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. With one team maybe having some pride to play for and the other just gearing up for the postseason, Thursday’s game may be mildly interesting when the Bucks visit the Celtics. Here’s a look at what to expect from each team, plus my final score prediction to help you make your NBA picks tonight.
Milwaukee Bucks (31-34)

The Bucks were 13-20 at the All-Star break and not really in the discussion for the playoffs in the East. However, Milwaukee entered Wednesday’s home game with Philadelphia just two games under .500 and coming off back-to-back wins, the more recent a 92-86 home win over Toronto. The two recent wins snapped a 1-5 stretch after Milwaukee won four straight to equalize at 28-28. The Bucks are 8-3 in their last 11 road games, but they haven’t beaten a team with a winning record since knocking off Houston Jan. 25 (105-99). Milwaukee did give Boston all it could handle in its last visit, though, falling only 102-96.
Boston Celtics (38-27)

The Celtics have no desire to play their main players any significant minutes, if at all, considering that they are locked in as the No. 4 seed and will face Atlanta in the first round. The team has alternated wins and losses in its last five games, but is coming off a glorified preseason game win over Miami, 78-66. Boston is 2-0 against the Bucks this year, but both games have come since the all-Star break when both teams were playing well and had things for which to play. Now that is diminished with this game, Boston will be at a disadvantage considering it doesn’t score with any regularity and is not known as a deep team.
Predictions

The latest odds show Boston favored by 8.5 points and the total set for 192 points. Like the game with Miami, Boston will not likely have a pretty game in this finale before the postseason. Their bench is not known to be a very good one, and the team in general has had a hard time scoring all year. The Celtics have trouble scoring with or without their Big Three, and Milwaukee will challenge tempo and try to get in the open court. If the Bucks play their starters, they should have the advantage in this game; if they don’t, it will come down to tempo and discipline, where Boston will have the advantage.

Final Score Prediction: Bucks 95, Celtics 94
