4 Unit Play. Take the Boston Redsox -120 over the Texas Rangers (Wed @ 8:05pm est). Clay takes the mound today and he gave up just 1 run in nearly 6 innings worth of work on the road in Toronto. The Redsox went on to win the contest 4-1. Given the series with the Rangers, the Yankees took over first place in the division. I suspect the Redsox will be fired up and looking to bounce-back today with Clay. Buchholz understands that with Wakefield out for some time, he needs to step up. Certainly, he has done that over his last 17 starts as he is 7-3 with a 2.36era in his last 17 games. Clay is comfortable pitching against the Rangers it seems as last year he threw six scoreless innings against them. As the Redsox come off a loss and with Clay pitching well, it sets up for a decent wager on them. The Rangers send Padilla to the mound who was brilliant in his last performance against the Sox in Fenway. Having said that, the Redsox are very good at having success against a pitcher the next time around in the same year. Padilla gave up just 4 hits and 2 run in 7 innings of work in Fenway in his last start against Boston this year. He comes off a shaky start against Minnesota at home, but overall, he has given up 29 hits over his last 18 innings (spanning 3 starts). The Redsox are 12-5 after scoring 2 or less runs in their previous game as well as 11-5 coming off a loss.

Jeff Benton
Jeff Benton Wednesay's 20 Dime MLB Winner ... 20 DIME: DODGERS on the run-line (-1 1/2 runs) vs. Reds (Billingsley over whomever the Reds start)

NOTE: This play is based on the Dodgers and Billingsley. If the Reds switch pitchers after you make your wager, your wager will be void. But if that happens, I want you to re-bet the game at the same rating, so long as Billingsley starts for L.A.! If Billingsley does NOT start, this will be a "NO PLAY"

Dodgers (-1½ runs)

Chad Billingsley made the All-Star team this year, but I admit he hasn’t exactly been pitching like an All-Star lately. In fact, he’s coming off his two worst starts of the year, including giving up a season-high six runs in a season-low 1 2/3 innings of Saturday’s 8-1 home loss to Roy Oswalt and the Astros. Yet I don’t hesitate to back the hard-throwing right-hander tonight on the run-line because no pitcher in baseball goes through a 162-game season without hitting a bit of a rough patch. And I’m 100 percent confident that a well-rested Billingsley – who went 9-3 with a 2.72 ERA in his first 14 starts this year – will come back with a huge effort tonight against a Reds squad.

How can I be so confident? Well, for starters, Billingsley and his teammates have absolutely dominated Cincinnati lately. Billingsley has faced the Reds three times in his young career and he’s given up a total of two runs and 15 hits in 18 1/3 innings – a 0.98 ERA – with 19 strikeouts. Last year, he beat Cincinnati twice by scores of 4-1 (home) and 3-1 (road), surrendering just one total run in 13 1/3 innings with 16 Ks against just five walks.

That Billingsley has owned Cincy isn’t a shock, because every Dodger – hitter and pitcher – owns Cincy. By winning the first two games of this series by scores of 12-3 and 7-5, L.A. has now taken eight straight games against the Reds, the last seven by multiple runs. Going back further, the Dodgers are on an incredible 22-5 run against Cincinnati, and the Reds have now lost 11 straight games in Dodger Stadium dating to July 2005, with the last eight defeats being by more than one run.

Yes, I realize that Reds starter Bronson Arroyo is working on a 16-inning scoreless string, beating the Mets (3-0) and Brewers (4-0) in his last two starts. However, Arroyo has been anything but consistent this season. Despite his last two outings, he’s just 10-8 with a 5.07 ERA), and he’s given up at least five runs in nearly half (nine) of his 19 starts. For example, prior to beating the Mets and Brewers he had gone 1-4 with an 8.42 ERA in his five previous starts.

Last year, Arroyo faced the Dodgers twice and got rocked for 11 runs (nine earned) in 11 1/3 innings, with L.A. winning both contests. In fact, the Dodgers are 6-1 lifetime when facing Arroyo, with five of those six victories coming by multiple runs. Thus, there’s little doubt in my mind that the Dodgers will hit Arroyo early and often, even if Manny Ramirez (who was forced to leave yesterday’s game after being hit on the hand by a pitch) can’t play.

By taking the first two game of this series, L.A. has now won four in a row by the combined score of 28-13. The Dodgers are the first team to 60 wins; they’re 26 games over .500 for the first time since 1991; they continue to own baseball’s best record both overall and at home; and they’re THE best money team in the sport (i.e. L.A. has been the most profitable MLB squad to back from a betting perspective). Meanwhile, the Reds have lost six of their last eight overall and four straight on the road, giving up 32 runs in those four road defeats.

Throw in the fact that the Dodgers have all their key relief pitchers available because none had to pitch in last night’s 12-3 blowout, and this is an absolute no-brainer. Billingsley bounces back with a gem and L.A. continues its domination of the Reds with another blowout win, this one by at least three runs.

Re: 7-22-09

Dominic Fazzini Wednesday's play 20 Dime -- Mariners (Hernandez) over TIGERS (Galarraga)

MARINERS
NOTE: List only Hernandez as Seattle's starting pitcher

Felix Hernandez (10-3, 2.51 ERA) might be en route to a Cy Young Award-winning season.

The Mariners ace has been as good as they come over his last 10 outings, going 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA, and allowing 11 earned runs in 76 innings. He has pitched at least 6 2/3 innings in each of those starts and has not given up more than three runs in any of them.

King Felix, who takes the mound today at Detroit, also has been awesome on the road, going 6-1 with a 1.97 ERA in 11 starts this year. He has already beaten the Tigers once this season, in Seattle on April 17, and has won four straight against Detroit.

Meanwhile, Armando Galarraga’s season has gone downhill after a great opening month. The Tigers right-hander went 3-0 with a 1.85 ERA in April, but he has struggled since then. Galarraga was 0-5 with an 8.49 ERA in May and 2-2 with a 5.06 ERA in June, but is a more respectable 0-1 with a 3.46 ERA in two July outings.

Galarraga (5-8, 5.09) allowed four runs and nine hits in six-plus innings against Cleveland on July 11 in his last start.

Hernandez is a major reason Seattle has reversed course this year after losing 101 games in 2008, as the Mariners are 7-0 in his last seven outings, and 6-0 in his last six road starts. I think that run is going to continue today. Take the Mariners in this one.
