SPORTS WAGERS

N.Y. Mets +142 over TAMPA BAY

David Price has added a sinking fastball this season. His surface stats (2.40 ERA, 1.22 WHIP) and skills both remain elite. Price’s GB% has grown by 8% to 52%, meaning he's now part of the small group of starters that have a legit chance at winning the Cy Young award. However, R.A. Dickey and the Mets have been a lethal combination with New York winning the past seven games that Dickey has started. Overall, he’s 9-1 with a 2.44 ERA and a decreasing WHIP that now stands at an elite 1.04. Dickey has 46 K’s and four walks over his past 36.2 innings, covering his last five starts. This knuckleballer is so difficult to hit and when batters do make contact, it’s usually a grounder, as he has a 51% groundball rate and one of the lowest line-drive rates in the majors at 19%. The Mets came in here last night with the NL’s best road BA and promptly whacked this host 11-2. A ridiculous tag on the game’s hottest pitcher easily dictates this wager. Play: N.Y. Mets +142 (Risking 2 units).

Boston +104 over MIAMI

Ricky Nolasco is posting the worst skills of his career with a mediocre strikeout rate and a 4.23 xERA . He’ll now face a Boston offense that ranks 3rd in the league in runs scored. The Marlins have lost four of Nolasco’s past six starts. At home, the righty is 2-3 with a 5.56 ERA. The Fish have lost seven of their past 10 overall. Meanwhile, Felix Doubront has surprisingly emerged as Boston’s most reliable starter this season. He has 72 k’s in 67 frames and his 3.47 xERA is almost a full run lower than his actual ERA. Neither his hit % or strand % is wildly out of whack, he has a groundball bias profile and he’s 4-1 on the road with a 3.36 ERA. Doubront's modest success is supported by his skills, allowing us to confidently step in against a laboring Marlins club. Play: Boston +104 (Risking 2 units).

Portugal -111 over Denmark

Denmark managed to cause the biggest upset of the first round when they edged out the Netherlands. Lady luck was smiling on the Danes, as they scored on their only clear cut scoring opportunity of the entire game. A win is a win though and now they face a desperate Portugal side eager to collect three points. Portugal hung with Germany at 0-0 until the 72nd minute when Germany scored off a Mario Gomez header. Portugal looked dangerous as they tried for the equalizer but to no avail. Portugal has a solid defensive core and more options in attack for this contest. Look for Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Nani to kick-start Portugal with a victory over the lucky Danes. Play: Portugal -111 (Risking 2 units to win 1.82).

Netherlands vs Germany over 2½ +100

The Netherlands are really behind the eight ball after losing to Denmark. After an ice cold offensive display they now face a German team who played a solid game versus Portugal. Expect a bounce back performance, as the Netherlands are too deep to lay an egg in back-to-back contests. Germany can smell blood and know they can knock Holland out of the tournament with a win. Germany should be loose with a win under their belts and will be a threat to score. The Netherlands have no choice but to eventually take risks offensively and as a result we expect a wide-open affair with plenty of goals. Play: Netherlands/Germany over 2½ (Risking 2 units).

Washington Nationals @ Toronto Blue Jays - NATIONALS TO WIN (-135) **12:35 PM EST START**
Listed Pitchers: Strasburg vs Drabek
(Note: I'm risking 2.70 units to win 2.00 units)

The Washington Nationals have won the first two against the Blue Jays and look for their second straight sweep of an AL East team this afternoon with Stephen Strasburg on the mound. The Nationals have improved to 37-23 on the year and 19-13 on the road, while the Jays have fallen to 31-31 and 16-14 at home. Strasburg is 7-1 on the year with a 2.41 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and .215 opponents batting average. He is 4-0 on the road with a 2.19 ERA, and the Nats are 10-2 when he starts a ball game. Toronto will go with Kyle Drabek this afternoon who is 4-6 on the year with a 4.43 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and .241 opponents batting average. Drabek was walked 45 batters on the year and struck out only one more at 46, while Strasburg has struck out 92 and walked just 19. The Blue Jays are 5-7 in games where Drabek has taken the mound, and 2-7 in his lsat 9 starts. This line has moved since I sent it out, but I still like it up to -150. Take the Nats.

New York Mets @ Tampa Bay Rays - METS TO WIN (+152)
Listed Pitchers: Dickey vs Price
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 3.04 units)

The Mets took the first game of this three game interleague set with an 11-2 victory as about the same size underdogs. New York improved to 33-29 with the victory while the Rays are sitting at 35-26 on the season. The Mets will have R.A. Dickey on the mound tonight to square off against David Price. Dickey is 9-1 on the season with a 2.44 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and .225 opponents batting average. Over his last 9 starts he is 7-0 with a 1.55 ERA, and he has gone three straight starts allowing 0 earned runs against where he worked 7+ innings in each and struck out at least 8 batters in each. He has been lights out as of late to say the least. Price is 8-3 on the season with a 2.40 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and .236 opponents average. He too has been stellar, especially at home this season. Take note that the Mets are 7-0 in Dickey's last 7 starts and 10-4 in his last 14 road starts. Tampa Bay is just 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 1-4 in their last 5 vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. With the way Dickey has been pitching lately and the Mets putting up 11 runs yesterday I love this generous underdog line. Again this line moved over night but I still like where it is at right now. Take the Mets to win.

401k Sports Wednesday Late Games
2** Tampa/NY Mets under 7(-115)(7pm) - This is a possible preview of the All star game staring pitchers. Both Dickey and Price are on some serious rolls. Knuckleball pitchers are streaky by nature but once every couple of years they go on a roll that lasts incredibly long. Time Wakefield would have a 8 or 9 start roll every couple of years where he was unhittable. That is what Dickey is on now. In his last 7 starts he is 6-0 with a 1.25 ERA. Not to be outdone, Price has a 1.75 ERA over his *** starts.
2** San Diego/Seattle over 8(even)(10pm) - We have 2 gas can pitchers here in Marquis and Noesi. As much as this game is a toss up, I just can bring myself to put my $$$ on SD who is 7-21 on the road or Marquis. SD has been hitting much better with the addition of Quentin off the DL. SD pitching has allowed 50 runs in the L9 games and Seattle has allowed 59 in their ***. We have one of the better over umps in Darling to help us along with his hitter friendly strike zone
