MLB Odds and Picks

LAS VEGAS -- The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t won a Freeway Series over Orange County’s Angels since 2006, but with a win tonight they’ll take three of four, and it would be only the fourth time since the advent of interleague play that the Dodgers would emerge the victors. Overall, the Angels still hold a 57-42 advantage in wins and a 9-3-5 edge in series.
In order for the Angels to keep the Dodgers from accomplishing the series win, they’re going to need C.J. Wilson to step up big time, and with the way he’s pitched lately, that’s a tall task. Over his last five starts, opponents are hitting .416 against him, which has led to 25 earned runs over 18 innings. Fortunately for the Angels, they’ve been able to get him out of the game quickly enough to give their stellar offense a chance to come back and win three of those starts.
After missing a month due to a sprained ankle, Wilson came back on Saturday at Tampa Bay and couldn’t make it out of the second inning. His ankle was fine, but his stuff wasn’t, as he was tagged for six runs in a 10-3 loss.
In the grand scheme of things, Wilson is expected to be a huge part of the Angels’ future this season, not only in their quest to pass the A’s in the AL West, but also in any potential playoff series. He's supposed to be the No. 3 starter behind Jered Weaver and Garrett Richards, but as of right now, he’s got a lot more work to do.
The good news for Wilson is that he’s won his last six decisions at home and the Angels have won 36 of their last 51 home games overall. And not that it means much, but the Angels are 17-4 in their last 21 Thursday games. The Angels are also 6-1 in the final of four-game series this season. Maybe those numbers contribute to Wilson being a short favorite tonight.
The Dodgers tonight start Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has been on a roll lately, allowing only seven runs over his last four starts covering 26 innings. The Dodgers won all four games, with Ryu getting the decision in three of them.
The surprising part of Ryu’s game this season is that he’s been stingier on the road (2.89 ERA) than at home (3.94). Dodger Stadium is usually a safe haven for pitchers to lower their ERAs. In Ryu’s only meeting with Angels, he threw a two-hit shutout last May at Dodger Stadium.
Look for Wilson to shake some of the rust off his last start and not be as bad, but he’s in a tough spot against Ryu. With Ryu the +101 underdog, the Dodgers are the play.
Thursday selections:
Pirates (Volquez) -134 vs. Marlins, 7:05 p.m. ET
Royals (Guthrie) -107 at Diamondbacks, 9:40 p.m. ET
Dodgers (Ryu) +101 at Angels, 10:05 p.m. ETComment

Tony the sports betting "Champ"
For today, we have an unofficial {A} bet on Minnesota. This is an unofficial bet not only because it does not pass the RPI filter, but also because Minnesota is playing against the #1 RPI ranked team in the league! Therefore, I strongly recommend proceeding on this unofficial system bet with great caution.Comment

Brandon Goble - Against the Number
253 New England Patriots PK +105
The Patriots are in an interesting position here as far as their quarterback situation goes. Brady may not see the filed tonight, but this play really has nothing to do with him. This play revolves around each teams main backup quarterback and what I expect the teams motivations to be in regards to them. Ryan Mallett has spent the last 3 years on the bench behind Tom Brady. I don’t believe the Patriots really see him as the heir apparent to the throne of New England so this preseason will mean a LOT to them in regards to building up his trade value. The Pats drafted another QB in the 2nd round and they’re not the kind of team to do that if they’re not planning on keeping that player around. Mallett should see significant playing time and he is more than capable under center. Mallett knows where he stands and will be looking for this to be his chance to score a payday with another team. Couple that with the fact that there will be an intense battle for carries in the running game and there should be a lot of motivation for this Pats offense. On the other side, Cousins is firmly embedded as the backup to Griffin. With Griffin’s health ALWAYS in questions, the Redskins will have to do their best to get Cousins his work early, and then retire him to the bench. Who will be seeing the majority of the snaps then?….the mighty Colt McCoy (que the wah wah sound bite). I like my chances if I get a significant portion of this game with with Mallet Vs McCoy and will take the dog money here.
260 Denver Broncos PK +105
Is there really such a thing as revenge motivation in the first game of the preseason? Probably not, but don’t tell the fans that. This may be one of the few games where the crowd is actually into game somewhere near the intensity of a regular season game. The Seahawks could blown out here and waive it off as “who cares we won the Super Bowl”, but the Denver fans will not let the Broncos off that easy if they don’t show up. Obviously Manning will be luck to see one series before Osweiler takes over. I do think there will be some significant playing time for the former Sundevil QB because right now he is the long term plan for the post Manning era, and has yet to see much playing time in the regular season so every live snap is important to his development. Where I think the Broncos have an advantage here is in the running game. There is no premier back in Denver, but there are a lot of solid players all fighting for carries and a final spot on the roster. I believe on the whole their depth is better than that of Seattle in the backfield and this could quickly turn into a ground game battle in the second half as the Seahawks backup QB’s aren’t exactly known for their throwing ability. The Broncos weakest link in regards to depth is their secondary and these are the kinds of QB’s that will have a hard time punishing that. Denver is still pretty pissed about their last game, and the stadium should be rocking, so i’ll take the dog money again, this time at home.Comment
