WUNDERDOG GAME 2 OF DOUBLE HEADER

Game: Chicago White Sox at Detroit (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit -120 (moneyline)

Bartolo Colon has alwats been a sought after pitcher, and has been a lure for many teams with the latest being the Chicago White Sox. Sometimes that lure isn't as attractive as it looks. Colon will never again resemble the pitcher that won 135 games in eight years from '98-'05. He is now on his third team in three years, and the wins have been hard to come by. Since '05, Colon is just 14-21, despite pitching for all winning teams. This year is no expception as the White Sox are just 3-8 in his 11 starts. The White Sox are just 14-37 in their last 51 against a team with a home winning percentage of .600 or higher, while the Tigers have been a flawless 7-0 at home against teams with a winning record in their last seven matchups. I'll go with Detroit in this one. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS GAME TWO OF THE DOUBLEHEADER

Friday, July 24
**12-2 in 25 dime plays this year, No. 13 goes tonight!**

25 dime - Dodgers

Hell of a pitchers duel out west tonight as two of baseball's bright young studs square off in Hollywood. One of these two phenoms, however, happens to be riding a video game-like streak -- and that's Clayton Kershaw. The Los Angeles southpaw is 5-0 with a ridiculous 0.62 ERA his last seven starts, all of which the Dodgers have won. He's also 3-2 at home with an 1.62 ERA, another statistic that boggles my mind. Now don't get me wrong, Josh Johnson can flat out deal, but I question him on the road and I'm not sure that the Fish can score enough runs off of Kershaw to pull out the 'W.' Johnson's ERA jumps almost a full two points on the road and his two losses this season came against the NL West. Also, I'm the biggest advocate of winning the first game and the Dodgers have won 8 of their last 10 series openers. If you get a chance to watch this game, I highly suggest you do so. This is going to be one of the best games of the season with these two aces on the bump. Too much offense and too much Kershaw though as L.A. cashes yet another 25 dime winner. Play the Dodgers.

10 dime - Phillies

I think it's fair to say that the Phillies have surpassed the Rockies and can rightfully deem themselves the hottest team in baseball. Philly has won 15 of their last 17 games and they are showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. Their pitching has been incredible, they're getting timely hitting (both situational and power) and they are doing all the little things in between the lines. Tonight, the dreary and tired Cardinals come to town and something tells me they won't be 100 percent ready for the opener. Stuck in the middle of an extremely tough road trip, the Cards were laid up in Washington D.C. last night for a one game make-up against the Nats. Granted, they won the game, but that didn't come without two separate rain delays and then the subsequent bus and train ride to Philly well after 1 o'clock in the morning. It doesn't get any easier for St. Louis, as they face J.A. Happ, who let's be real is a flat-out winner. Happ (7-0, 2.68) hasn't allowed more than three runs since June 14, he's 3-0 at CBP this year and he hasn't lost a start since 2007. Best of luck to Albie and Company, but I'm rolling with the Phillies.

10 dime - Rangers

Great puppy value in Kansas City tonight as Vegas is still in love with Royals' ace Zack Greinke. I'm still baffled by this high of a line though, as Greinke (10-5, 2.08) hasn't won a game since June 28 and KC has dropped 10 of their last 11 games. The bleeding doesn't stop there, because honestly, the Royals have an atrocious offense and an even worse bullpen. Their biggest power hitter, Jose Guillen, was just placed on the disabled list and nobody outside of closer Joakim Soria is reliable in relief. That's the key to getting past Greinke: work your counts, get his pitch count high and get to the bullpen. The Rangers, fresh off a sweep of Boston, have so many great hitters. Young, Kinsler, Hamilton and Cruz all have the capability of changing the game with one swing of the bat while Kansas City counters with Billy Butler (chuckle) and Mark Teahen. Bottom line, the Rangers have offense and the Royals do not. I don't care how much of a stud Greinke is -- if he doesn't have run support, Kansas City is going to continue falling into a downward spiral.

4 Unit Play. Take Under 8.5 between Cleveland Indians @ Seattle Mariners (Friday @ 10:10pm est). There are several "9's" on the board right now. Certainly, if you get the nine, roll with it as that 1/2 a run cushion is nice. Laffey faced the Mariners just recently and he picked up a no-decision but the Indians fell short 3-5 at home. The lefty pitched six strong innings and gave up three runs in that start. Laffey faces Seattle once again immediately in his next start and I expect to be even better this time around as he looks for an indirect revenge. Laffey missed the month of June due to a right oblique strain, but he has come back strong and I expect a solid outing from him today. Ryan Rowland-Smith, the Sydney, Australian native has been showing solid improvement and he gets the ball today. Rowland-Smith was showing solid progress in Triple A and there is a rotation spot available in Seattle if he is able to produce a quality start today. I look for him to have a clear incentive to be on point this evening. He didn't yield a run in the few innings he has pitched so far since being called up from the minors. The Under is 4-1-1 for the Indians of late when they face a lefty and the Under is 22-5 for the Mariners when they are favorites by this margin.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #901 Chicago Cubs (-155) over Cincinnati
Cubs are playing at a pretty high, focused level right now. They come home to the welcoming arms or Wrigley after a tough series with red hot Philly. But if they play at that level this weekend they could be set up for a sweep. Aaron Harang has had a lot of success in Wrigley, but the Reds are just 5-17 in his last 22 road starts and 9-23 overall in their last 32 road games. Neither Harang nor Randy Wells has been much of a prize in their last few outings but Wells has been better and is backed by the better team right now.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #906 Philadelphia (-140) over St. Louis
The Phillies just keep on rolling and we’ll keep on backing them. The Phillies are an exceptional 73-35 in Game 1 of a series and they just jump all over teams. They are 12-1 as a home favorite and 12-2 at home recently. They are throwing lefty J.A. Happ at the Cards and St. Louis is just 2-8 against southpaws. Other than Pujols, this Cards team is just terrible against lefties. We’ll take the hot team and look for the Phils to just keep doing what they do.

1-Unit Play. Take #909 Atlanta (-130) over Milwaukee (8 p.m., Friday, July 24)
I find it really odd that the Braves are favored in this game right here. I know that the main thing is that Manny Parra sucks (7-21 last 28 starts) but it’s gotta be more than that. The Braves are streaking and are playing great baseball. But I’m not 100 percent sold until I see them take it on the road. The Brewers are struggling though. There is just something wrong with this team and they are slipping fast. They haven’t performed well against teams with winning records and I think Javy Vazquez will be a tough customer for them tonight.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #912 Colorado (-125) over San Francisco
San Francisco is just a different team on the road and they are running into a buzz saw in Colorado. At first glance the pitching matchup heavily favors the Giants. However, Cain has been pretty average in his career in Coors Field (2-2, 4.09) and he is just 8-21 as a road underdog. He is just 11-26 as a dog overall and is just 12-26 in games against the N.L. West. Jason Hammels is a guy the Giants are not familiar with and he is a solid 9-2 in this last 11 starts. The Rockies are on a 32-11 rush and are the hottest team in baseball right now. They had an off day yesterday to prep while the Giants were clawing their way for a win in Atlanta. Good price on the better team.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #924 Boston (-160) over Baltimore

Total
1.5-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 9.5 Baltimore at Boston
The Red Sox have problems. But the two best remedies for those problems are A) coming back to Fenway, where they dominate and B) playing the Orioles, who they dominate. The Red Sox are 27-6 against the Orioles in Fenway and are 50-16 in their last 66 meetings overall. They have also won all seven meetings this year. And while the probably means that Baltimore is going to win once this weekend I don’t think it’s going to be this one right here.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #918 N.Y. Yankees (-1.5, -105) over Oakland
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Yankees kill left-handed pitching and are throwing another starter with potentially dominant stuff at a right-hand heavy A’s lineup.
