River City Sharps

The Rockies had been real good at home, but they have hit a major slump and are a major league-worst 3-18 since June 16 after dropping seven of their last eight games. They face first time all star Tyson Ross (7-8, 2.93 ERA) and has recorded 111 strikeouts in 116 2/3 innings and a .228 opponent's batting average to rank among the NL's top 10 in both categories. The Padres are on a bit of a roll having won 6 of 8 and took the opener last night 6-1. They face Franklin Morales who has had struggles of his own, 0-3 with a 6.81 ERA over his last seven starts dating to May. These are not the same Rockies that were dominant at Coors. the Sharps say....

LA Dodgers/Detroit Under 8.5 I know both offenses generally perform well and Justin Verlander has had his struggles. This is why we are seeing such a high number here. Verlander has performed better his last 3 starts and Ryu's road numbers are incredible. I'm going with the Under today.

Soccer World Cup Play: Brazil vs. Germany


This contest is probably the toughest game to handicap in this tournament and rightfully so, the odds offered are almost a pure 50/50 proposition.

We have two teams with complete different styles going against each other…

While Germany wants to play a slow-paced patient passing style in which they control the ball possession (we can consider their style as an adapted version of Pepe Guardiola’s Tiki-Taka style), Brazil wants to play in a frenetic tempo w/ quick turnovers to use their good pace of their midfielders and wingers.

This preferred style of Brazil was well noticed in their last game vs. Colombia: they pressured pretty high on the field, they didn’t allow Colombia to generate build-up plays from behind and they completely controlled the game in the first 60 minutes of the game!

2 important conclusions from that game:

1) Brazil was supper aggressive without the ball and committed the absurd number of 31 fouls but received "only" 2 yellow cards! It was remarkable to watch Fernandinho not receiving a single yellow card after some awful tackles against James Rodriguez! Why? Well, they were clearly protected by the referee who allowed them to be super physical. Oddly enough, it was Brazilian start Neymar who got injured in that game and is OUT of the competition. This kind of “soft” refereeing was highlighted all over the world and we have a quick answer from FIFA: (FIFA reject claims that World Cup referees have been told to be more lenient | FOX Sports on MSN)

For this contest, I don’t think that the referee will be so “patient and soft” after that Colombia vs. Brazil game… I’m making a small play w/ OVER Bookings in here!

2) Brazil’s pressure on the midfield was really impressive to start the game, they were literally everywhere! However, we could see that they didn’t have “legs” late in the game and this team really can’t control and protect a lead without putting themselves in some tough problems. Colombia controlled the game in the last 20 minutes of the game as the lack of stamina in several Brazilians’ players was well noticed. Brazil plays w/ a lot of heart and emotion but they seem to have some problems in managing the flow of the game.

Well, if Brazil plays w/ intensive passion, the Germans are a more cerebral team. Like Brazil, the Germans had the lead early in their last game against France. However, unlike Brazil, they simply didn’t allow the French side to do anything against them in the second half!

The absence of Thiago Silva is important for Brazil as Dante will replace him and will play @left-center back. Marcelo will be the left full-back and IMO, this Dante-Marcelo partnership on the left is the weakest link of Brazil’s defense, and the Germans have a potent right side w/ Lahm + Muller who will try to explore such potential weakness.

NOTE: I'll release a Premium Play for this contest, but first I want to confirm both teams' starting lineups for today, so the final update will be released around @3PM EST +/-.

Tonight in Seattle we have the Twins taking on the Mariners. The Mariners took the first game of the series behind the great pitching of Iwakuma however the Mariners send a very overrated pitcher to the mound in Young tonight. Chris Young's numbers look good on the surface (8-4 record with an ERA just north of 3.) However, when you really dig down and look at his numbers they are mediocre at best and is due for a regression. It may not seem like this game is going to be the game he regresses as he is 5-1 at Safeco but our system is calling for a huge regression tonight similar to the last time Young faced the Twins giving up 5 runs and 10 hits. On the mound for the Twins is Phil Hughes who was torched by the Yankees where he gave up 7 earned runs but overall he has been solid on the mound for the Twins and is slightly underrated according to our system. Phil is very dependent on this above average fastball and cutter. This should bode well for Phil tonight as the Mariners are bottom of the barrel on hitting fastballs and even worse at hitting cutters. Chris Young is one of the most frequent fastball throwing pitchers in baseball throwing it on almost 70% of occasions. The Twins are one of the best fastball hitting teams in baseball ranking at #7. If he decides to throw more sliders this could give the Twins some trouble as they are just slightly below average against sliders. Overall, this is a great spot for the Twins and Primetime Insiders feels so confident that it is our 4* Underdog GOM!

3* Plays

LAD +101 **This plays grades out just slightly lower than our Twins play but still a very strong play**

San Diego and Colorado Under 10.5 **We cashed it last night with Kennedy on the mound now we got Ross on the mound who has been just as good if not better. The winds are blowing out but increased humidity should keep the ball in the yard tonight**

2* Plays

Philadelphia and Milwaukee Under 8.5 **If Kendrick can get out the of the first inning this number should stay under. Peralta has been torched of late posting an ERA over 5 in his last 7 starts but should be able to come back down against the Phillies.

NYY -1.5 +100 **This may seem like a lot of juice to lay but this is a great spot for Tanaka and the Yankees. I see this game similar to the Reds and Cubs game earlier. You have the better team throwing out their best pitcher**
