Game: Toronto Blue Jays at Texas Rangers Jun 10 2009 8:05PM
Prediction: over
Grade: Push (0)
Reason: Scott Rickenbach’s MLB Regular Play: OVER the total in Texas vs Toronto @ 8:05 PM ET: Millwood vs Romero – Kevin Millwood has impressive numbers so far this season but much of that was compiled early on. Note that recently, the Rangers right-hander has slowed down some. He’s walked four batters in three of his last four starts. He’s allowed 11 homers in his last 9 starts. Millwood has allowed 61 hits in his last 55 innings on the mound. Now he must deal with a Toronto team that has roughed him up in his career. Millwood has a 1-4 record with a 6.25 ERA in his career against the Blue Jays. Also, he certainly seems to be facing the Jays at the wrong time. They’ve averaged about 5.5 runs per game in their last dozen games and they’ve already feasted on Rangers pitching so far in this series. The Rangers have a 4.67 ERA at home this season and that’s among the worst in the league. As for the Blue Jays, they have a 4.74 ERA on the road and that’s among the worst in the league too. While Toronto stays hot at the plate against Millwood and the Texas pen, the Rangers should stay close in this game thanks to their own offensive prowess.

While Texas has, surprisingly, struggled at the plate so far in this series, the Rangers should have no problems with the offerings of Ricky Romero of the Blue Jays. The rookie Toronto southpaw is still trying to recover from an injury and, although his last start was better it should be noted that it came at home against the struggling Royals. Now he must deal with the powerful Rangers and he’s on the road where he’s struggled so far. Romero has given up eight homers in his last 16.1 innings on the mound. Yes, that averages out to a homer every two innings. Also, before enjoying some success against Kansas City, the left-hander struggled with his command against the Red Sox as he walked five in just four innings of work. He also gave up some big hits in that match-up. Speaking of big hits, Romero was throttled by the Orioles in his start prior to facing the Red Sox. The Rangers are 47-35 to the over after getting shutout. The Blue Jays are 7-1 to the over on Wednesdays this season. We’ll put this combined 54-36 trend to work for us here as the Rangers offense bounces back from yesterday’s shutout while the Blue Jays offense remains red hot. Play OVER the total in Texas as a regular selection.

$25.00 Guaranteed: Get ready for TOTAL domination, on the baseball diamond, on the mound, and at the wagering window. This is a game where one team holds HUGE edges on the hill and in the pen. Get set to strike gold with this 4-Star Major Mound Mismatch, then sit back and collect! 6/10/2009

4* Blue Jays (927) at Rangers: Toronto has a terrific offense, tops in batting average and 4th in runs in the AL, as Adam Lind and Aaron Hill continue to spark offensive side of things. Hill said he felt energized after being given a day off. In April, as the Jays surged to the top of their division and led the majors in several offensive categories, Hill batted .365 with a .567 slugging percentage. Hill is second in the major leagues with 77 hits and was leading the Jays with 12 home runs. And this is a hitter-friendly paradise in Texas, as they had little trouble winning the first two games of the series by a combined 15-3. Toronto starter Scott Richmond (4-3, 3.99 ERA) has been strong and has already beaten Texas once (3.00 ERA against them, striking out 8 in 6 innings.) Texas is on a 3-6 run while waiting for Josh Hamilton to come back. Southpaw Derek Holland (6.54 ERA) has been awful. Play the Blue Jays.

MLB
Pittsburgh Pirates vs Atlanta BravesTotal 8 ov+100

I'll take the OVER here in the early game between Pitt and Atlanta. Paul Maholm has given up 13 runs on 23 hits in his last 18 innings of work, good for 6.00 ERA and 1.61 WHIP. He also has a 5.71 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 7 road starts on the season. Atlanta has scored 5.5 runs per game against left-handed pitching and the Pirates have put up 4.9 runs per game over their last seven and 4.6 runs per game against right-handed starters. Plenty of reasons why the over eight is safe
early.

Chicago Cubs vs Houston AstrosTotal 9½ un-115

Two struggling offenses with a high total so I'm going to bite on the UNDER here today. The Cubs have put up 4 runs per game on the road and 3.9 runs over their last seven games. Houston is scoring 4 runs per game against right-handed starters and 4.1 runs per game at home. Ryan Dempster hasn't given up an ER in his last two starts either, so that makes me think there is quite a bit of value in this total today.

Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White SoxTotal 8½ un-115

Jackson has a 1.16 ERA in his last three starts and Floyd has a 2.49 ERA in his last three. Both of these offenses have been terrible as well, with the White Sox scoring just 3.4 runs per game at home and 3.6 over their last seven and the Tigers putting up 3.9 runs over their last seven. Take the UNDER here in what should be a low scoring Tigers win.

Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White SoxDetroit Tigers -115 - Detroit Tigers -115

I'm going to ride Edwin Jackson tonight as he has a 1.31 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in six road starts and should post decent numbers tonight against a struggling White Sox team. Chicago is hitting just .211 in their last seven games and .218 at home this year. Detroit hasn't been knocking the cover off the ball, but Gavin Floyd has a 5.35 ERA on the season. Sure he's had some success recently, but that was against a couple of weak hitting teams. I'll go with the road team here today.

Cincinnati Reds vs Washington NationalsTotal 9 un-103

Two struggling offenses so you have to like the UNDER here today. The Reds are putting up 3.6 runs per game over their last seven and 3.9 runs per game against left-handed starters. The Nationals are scoring just 2 runs per game over their last seven with a 1.95 team batting average. John Lannan has pitched great at home this year with a 1.76 ERA and 1.09 WHIP and while Micah Owings is struggling, he does has a 3.86 ERA in four starts against Washington.

Seattle Mariners vs Baltimore OriolesTotal 9 un+103

Baltimore has scored 1.9 runs per game over their last seven and 3.6 runs per game against left-handed starters. Seattle is scoring just 3.3 runs per game over their last seven and 3.6 runs per game against right-handed starters. Koji Uehara has been decent at home this year with a 2.62 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in four starts so I'll take my chances that runs are at a premium here today.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Orlando MagicTotal 201 un-108

Good thing the last game in this series went over, so that way we can get a couple of extra points on the total and hop back on the UNDER train. Both of these teams shot unbelievable from the floor in Game 3, which is the only reason the game went over the total. That isn't going to happen against tonight as the Lakers will clamp down on their defense in order to pick up the win. Both of these teams have solid defenses, so points are at a premium tonight. NBA | Jun 11 '09 (9:05p)
Los Angeles Lakers vs Orlando MagicLos Angeles Lakers
+2½-110 at jamaica20* NBA Finals No-Brainer on LA Lakers +2.5

Orlando is coming off a game in which they shot 62.5% from the floor and they still managed to win by only four points. The Lakers still could have won the game if Kobe would have made his free throws. You had to expect LA to let off the gas a little bit after blowing Orlando out in Game 1 and then winning an emotional win in Game 2. This Laker team has a history of letdowns in these playoffs, but after a loss they have come back strong. No reason to think they won't do the same tonight and win in Orlando.
