WUNDERDOG GAME 2 OF DOUBLE HEADER

Game: Detroit at Chicago White Sox (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit -110 (moneyline)

The Chicago White Sox will start Jose Contreras in game two of their doubleheader vs. the Tigers. Contreras will be 38-years-old before the year ends, but many feel he is much older than that. Despite the disagreement, he is pitching like he is much older. He has made six starts for the White Sox on the season, and they are 0-6 having been outscored 50-17! Contreras has been so bad that he was demoted to the minors, and this is likely a spot start, as the White Sox need an arm for the twin bill. The Tigers will regain the services of Jeremy Bonderman, who had shoulder surgery, and his rehab went well in AAA Toledo where he pitched to a 3.15 ERA in 20 innings. It’s hard to get anywhere near Contreras and the White Sox right now, so I’m going with the Tigers in this one. NOTE: THIS IS A GAME 2 PICK IN THE DOUBLEHEADER.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Atlanta Braves:

Atlanta Braves -140

Take the Atlanta Braves on the Moneyline, This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and Braves starter Kenshin Kawakami (3-6, 4.63) has not given up more than 3 earned runs in 6 straight starts. Kawakami has pitched solid over his last 3 starts with an ERA of just 2.61 while lasting an average of 6.9 innings per start and the Pirates have never faced him before so I look for an impressive start from Kawakami tonight. The Pirates are just 4-17 in Zach Duke's (6-4, 2.62 ERA) last 21 road starts as a dog of +110 to +150 and the Pirates are just 3-11 in their last 14 road games against a right hand starter. The Pirates are just 9-26 in their last 35 trips to Atlanta and the Braves are 23-11 in their last 34 home games against a team that has a losing record on the road below .400. Take the Atlanta Braves as my MLB Free Play for Monday night.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs Atlanta BravesPittsburgh Pirates
15* on Pittsburgh Pirates +126

The Braves offense has been struggling, scoring just 3.9 runs per game over their last seven and 3.9 per game at home. Pittsburgh has scored 4.9 runs per game over their last seven and 4.6 per game against right-handed starters. Zach Duke has given up just 5 runs in his last 22 innings and has a road ERA of 2.57 to go with a 1.17 WHIP. Kenshin Kawakami has thrown well lately, but he comes into this game with a 4.63 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. I think the value here is to take the underdog at a decent price.

Arizona D-Backs vs San Diego PadresArizona D-Backs
20* MLB BEST BET on Arizona +160

Jon Garland has pitched great on the road this year in five starts, allowing just 7 ER in 31.3 innings. He's thrown three games against San Diego and has a 0.82 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Jake Peavy hasn't looked like himself this year, whether it's due to feeling unwanted with the team trying to deal him any chance they get or what. He is 5-6 on the year with a 4.10 ERA and has given up 8 runs in his last 7.3 innings. Last game against the Phillies he only lasted a single frame. Over his career he carries a 4.74 ERA and 1.29 WHIP against the Diamondbacks. As far as offense goes, both teams are bad but the Padres are worse, putting up only 3.7 runs per game over their last seven and 3.7 at home. Arizona is at 4.6 over their last seven so advantage here is with the large underdog.

Regular Play: Texas Rangers Money Line (-) vs Toronto

This line could start to climb from the 145 range and we rarely even play favorites in this range. It takes special situations – like the rout we expect tonight – to get us up into this moderate price range. Play this one as early as you can and now here are the details as to why we’re willing to lay the price here!

We’ve had a great pulse on Blue Jays games as we’ve gone 13-4 the last 17 plays we’ve had involving a Toronto game. One of the keys to our success with the Jays is noting their home/road dichotomy. Our streak on Blue Jays games dates back to last season but, as for this season, note that Toronto is just 11-17 on the road. Also note that they’re facing a Rangers club who is a rock solid 18-9 at home this season! The Rangers .526 slugging percentage at home is the best in baseball. They also are coming home with a ton of confidence after taking two of three from the Red Sox in Boston over the weekend. As for Toronto, even though they’ve hit the ball quite well on the road this season, their 5.03 ERA away from the Rogers Centre ranks 26th among the 30 MLB teams. They are unlikely to improve on that ERA tonight. That’s because Casey Janssen gets the start for the Blue Jays!

Janssen wasn’t in the bigs for the 2008 season and this will be just his fourth start of the 2009 season. So far, the Jays right-hander continues to show he’s a “work in progress” at this level. He’s been rocked for 11 earned runs on 26 hits in 17 innings of work this season! Janssen has as many walks as strikeouts and in his only career appearance at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, the results were not pretty. He didn’t even make it out of the fourth inning and we expect him to get rocked again here. Janssen actually has some impressive numbers in day games in his career but it’s a different story for him under the lights. At night, Janssen is 7-15 in his career with a 4.96 ERA and he’s been ripped at a .301 clip by opponents! While Janssen is yet to turn the corner in his young career, the story is quite different for his counterpart tonight!

Scott Feldman gets the ball for the Rangers this evening and he’s “in the zone” to put it mildly. The Rangers right-hander is 5-0 with a 3.79 ERA but what’s most impressive is how he’s thrown since moving into the rotation. In his eight starts this season he’s never allowed more than three earned runs and Feldman has allowed two earned runs or less on six occasions! His career numbers against the Blue Jays are not that impressive but this is his first start against them this season and he’s a much different pitcher now than he was the last time he started against them in 2008. Also, Feldman is a much different pitcher since the last time he faced them out of the bullpen – in late April. Keep in mind he just pitched very well in his start against the Yankees in a very hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. Now he returns to another hitter-friendly park but he’s actually been solid here in his career. He has a 4.05 ERA and a .244 BAA in his career outings at Rangers Ballpark. Also, throughout his career – and especially now – Feldman has been tough on right-handed hitters. That is significant here because the Jays only have three left-handed sticks on their roster and only two of those are regulars – Lyle Overbay and Adam Lind. It’s going to be a tough night for this Jays lineup to try and catch up with the stuff of Feldman as he’s allowed just 34 hits in his 48 innings since moving into the rotation! The Blue Jays road struggles continue while the Rangers stay hot at home. Play Texas on the money line as a regular selection.

Minnesota Twins vs Oakland Athletics Oakland Athletics

4* Major MLB Game of the Night on A's -134

I really like the A's at home this evening as they are the hotter teams, bringing a six-game winning streak into this series. They also send the better starter to the hill in Outman. He is 3-0 this season with a 3.14 ERA. The Twins have really struggled on the road at just 7-18 on the season and they have also really struggled against lefties when away from home. The Twins are 9-27 in their last 36 road games vs. a left-handed starter, 8-22 in their last 30 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 3-13 in their last 16 Monday games, and 2-11 in their last 13 games as an underdog. Plus, The Twins are just 4-9 in the last 13 meetings in Oakland. Bet the A's!
