SPORTS WAGERS

CLEVELAND +146 over N.Y. Yankees

Freddy Garcia is about as ordinary as they come. He has a BAA of .277, a 4.96 ERA, he rarely finishes the sixth inning and the Yankees have lost four of his past seven starts. It sure doesn’t help that the Yanks have lost four of five on this current road trip and have scored just eight runs over their last four games.

The Indians have dropped from contenders to also-rans in almost record time. They recently had an 11-game losing streak and snapped a nine-gamer yesterday. However, one win does wonders to a teams’ psyche (they went on to win four of six after snapping that 11-game losing streak) and playing the Yankees provides all the motivation.

Ubaldo Jiminez is anything but ordinary. His season has been both interesting and disappointing, marked with the occasional dominant performance that we used to see with regularity. The culprit? 80 walks in 143 innings will do in anyone. A closer look reveals that Jiminez is on the verge of regaining his command. He’s walked just four batters while striking out 22 over his past 15.2 innings. He’s also 5-3 at Progressive Field with a very respectable 3.39 ERA. He’s only pitched twice at home since the all-star break, once against the Tigers and once against the Red Sox. In those two starts, he shut out the Tigers in six frames and struck out 10 Red Sox. Jiminez is so much more talented than Garcia but the line does not reflect so, thus creating the value here.

Washington Nationals at Philadelphia Phillies
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies

5* graded play on the Philadelphia Phillies as they host the Washington Nationals set to start at 1:35 PM ET. Phillies are certainly building toward next season and are 8-3 in their last 11 series with a four-game tie of the Cincinnati Reds. They have already won this series against the NL East division leading Nationals and look for the sweep this afternoon.

Very hard to have imagined that Cliff Lee would have just two wins in 22 starts this season, but that is where he stands right now. he has been the victim of low offensive output and also self-inflicted situations where he simply threw the wrong pitch and missed his spot just enough for the batter to get a critical run scoring hit. He is 0-1 with a 3.80 ERA and a 1.172 WHIP striking out 27 batters in this three starts spanning 21 ⅓ innings of work. In his last start, he pitched well enough to win, but got a no-decision allowing two earned runs, walking one, and striking out nine batters in a 5-4 Phillies loss to the Reds.

With the addition of some Triple-A players, who are playing like MLB veterans, the Phillies offensive attack has come to life batting .299 and scoring 5.4 RPG over their last seven games. Catcher, Eric Kratz, has filled in admirably for all star Carlos Ruiz batting .303 with a .671 slugging-percentage, and has called great games. Third baseman, Frandsen has filled for Palonco and perhaps has replaced him permanently batting .344 and has gained the confidence of skipper Manuel, who has moved him to second in the batting order.

Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 188-90 for 68% winners and has made 61.6 units per one unit wagered since 1997. Play on home favorites with a money line of -110 or higher with a bullpen that averages less than 2.75 innings per game and is now facing an opponent with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better on the season.

The bottom line is that Washington has a terrible offense ranking near the bottom in the majority of meaningful offensive stats. When they face starting arsenal, like Philadelphia, they struggle to score runs. Even though they have the best pitching staff in MLB, you still have to score at least one run to win a game. Take the Philadelphia Phillies.
