Thurday Selection ...

My 40 Dime selection is the Tigers and Rays Under the total.

The current line on this game is 6 1/2 in Vegas and offshore. Be sure to specify Price and Cobb at the time of wager. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.



ANALYSIS
This is going to be a great pitchers duel early today in Trampa.

David Price returns back to Tampa to face his old team off perhaps his best performance of the year.

After giving up 7 runs over 14 innings of his first two starts for the Tigers since getting traded, Price pitched an absolute gem to beat King Felix and the Mariners.

He went 8 innings allowing just 3 hits and 1 earned in a 4-1 Tigers win and quite frankly I see more another stellar performance today.

As for the Rays, Alex Cobb has been nothing short of sensational lately for Tampa as well.

Since giving up 6 earned runs at home to Pittsburgh back on June 23rd, he has gone 9 straight starts of 3 runs or less and 7 in a row of 2 runs or less.

All that great pitching has produced 5 straight Unders and I see another under between these two early today.

With this total set at 6 1/2 please note the Tigers have gone on the lowside 9 of their last 11 while the Rays have gone under 8 of their last 10 overall.

Considering 14 of the last 17 meetings between these two have gone Under in Tampa, I will gladly roll with another low scoring affair today.

Ride the low tide in south Florida this afternoon.

We went 3-2 with our preseason picks last week. The 3rd week of preseason is here, and this is possibly the best week of the preseason as a lot of teams will go with their starters for a good portion of their games. We get things kicked off with the Steelers and Eagles tonight on Thursday Night Football. Two Steelers RB's were charged for possession of Marijuana last night and that may play into our favor here with this system pick. IMPORTANT - Please note that I don't bet much at all on my preseason picks. There are too many "unknowns" in the preseason, so I keep my bets small. I also don't keep my preseason record towards my yearly record, as I bet a fraction of the amount on these preseason picks. Pittsburgh Steelers @ Philadelphia Eagles - EAGLES -3.5 (-103) Cheers, Kevin

They have won seven of their last eight games overall and own the best record in all of baseball with a 75-50 mark. I look for them to sweep the lowly Boston Red Sox (56-70), who have pretty much quit on their season. Matt Shoemaker has filled in for a couple guys in the starting rotation very nicely this year. He has gone 11-4 with a 3.84 ERA and 1.188 WHIP over 14 starts and seven relief appearances. He is 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA in his last three starts as well. Rubby De La Rosa has been decent for Boston in limited action as well. He is 4-4 with a 3.78 ERA and 1.402 WHIP in 12 starts this year. However, he gave up six earned runs and 13 base runners over four innings to Houston in his last start on August 16th. The Angels are scoring 4.7 runs/game overall and 5.0 on the road. The Red Sox are scoring 3.8 runs/game overall and 3.8 at home. The Angels are 40-13 in their last 53 vs. a team with a losing record. The Red Sox are 7-19 in their last 26 games as a home underdog. Bet the Angles Thursday.

Jimmy Boyd 2014-08-23 (2 days) MLB Premium Picks League Date Time (ET) Matchup Pick MLB Aug 21 ,2014 4:05p [951] Arizona Diamondbacks[952] Washington Nationals Arizona Diamondbacks +175 at 5dimes 3* MLB Main Event on Diamondbacks + The Diamondbacks are showing great value as a massive road dog against the Nationals. Washington is simply getting too much respect right now because of their 9-game winning streak. Most times when you see a team favored by this much it's because they have a clear edge on the mound. That's not the case. The Nationals will be starting Gio Gonzalez, who is a disappointing 6-9 with 4.06 ERA and 1.327 WHIP over 20 starts. Gonzalez has been even worse at home, where he's got a 4.67 ERA and he comes in with an ugly 5.17 ERA and 1.723 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Arizona will counter with Wade Miley, who has pitched a lot better of late than the numbers would indicate. Miley allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits in his last start at Miami and comes in with a solid 3.00 ERA and 1.144 WHIP over 14 road starts. Miley has now allowed 3 earned runs or less in 7 of his last 9 starts. It's also a plus that this game is being played during the day, as Miley is 4-1 with a 2.75 ERA over 8 day starts. Gonzalez on the other hand is 2-5 with 4.50 ERA over 8 day starts. Arizona is 32-19 in their last 51 games when they come in having lost at least 5 of their last 7 games and are a perfect 5-0 in Miley's last 5 road starts as an underdog of +150 to +200 over the last 2 seasons. Washington is just 1-4 in Gonzalez's last 5 starts overall and 0-4 in his last 4 when he's pitching on 4 days of rest. These trends combine to form a 66% (45-23) system in favor of the Diamondbacks. Take Arizona!
