Premier Cappers

New York Yankees ML –137 for 4 units (Best Bet)

Tampa has been struggling recently while the Yankees are playing their best baseball of the season right now. Tampa has done very bad against lefties as of late getting no hit by Buerhle and then getting dominated by two lefties in Toronto. Now they are getting in my opinion on of the better left handed starters in the AL win CC Sabathia whom is (10-6 3.67 ERA). The Yankees have been the opposite of the Rays doing very well against left handed starters hitting .290 at a team and .306 away from home this year. Kazmir will be taking the mound for Tampa and his struggles are plenty losing velocity on his fast ball and his breaking balls being straighter is the reason for his struggles. Kazmir is 4-6 for the year with a 6.69 ERA and he struggled against the teams that have hit lefties well this season giving up 5 runs to the White Sox, 7 runs to Toronto, 7 runs to Oakland, 7 runs to Cleveland, 6 runs to Baltimore and 8 runs to the Twins. Those where the games that he got destroyed in and in only 2 starts this year he has given up less than 3 runs. Kazmir had pitched even worse at home being 1-3 with a 9.50 ERA. When the Yankees gave CC all that money these are the big games that he was brought to the Yankees for and I see his stepping up his game today and doing well. The Yankees are 9-3 in their last 12 road games and 41-17 their last 58 games as a favorite. The Yankees are 5-2 in their last 7 game in Tampa and trust me when I say there are always a lot of Yankees fans that go to these game being a 40% share in Tampa. I believe we are getting a good price and a great spot for the Yankees today to continue their dominance winning 10 out of their last 11 games overall.

spartan | MLB Money Line Tue, 07/28/09 - 8:15 PM ';
triple-dime bet 912 STL (-130) Bookmaker.com vs 911 LOS
Analysis: Cardinals first game after the recent road trip was a solid 6-1 victory as predicted by Spartan. Now it is game 2 of this series featu?ring two premiere National league heavyweights sizing up one another for a possible playoff showdown come this fall. This shapes up as a possible pitchers duel with Adam Wainright opposing Chad Billingsley of the Dodgers. I've got to side in this spot with Wainright and the Cardinals as he has been lights out in July posting an impressive 1.57 era for the month. Obviously Billingsley is a very worthy opponent and the Dodgers a true, major player for the NL crown.

Re: 7-28-09

Chris Jordan Tuesday's trifecta ...
300? RED SOX RUN LINE (WITH Buchholz over Mazzaro) - While ace pitcher Josh Beckett became the American League’s first 12-game winner last night, Boston snapped out of a slump with 14 hits in an 8-3 win over the visiting Athletics in the series-opener. Boston ripped at least one hit in each inning and finished with its highest hit parade since tallying 16 on June 30 in Baltimore. And quite frankly, I am expecting to see a duplicate performance tonight in facing Vin Mazzaro, who is 0-3 in his last three starts, to go along with an 8.76 ERA.

The 22-year-old right-hander, who is 2-7 with a 4.75 ERA, has been ripped in his last two starts specifically, getting tagged for 14 runs and 18 hits over 7-1/3 innings. Since winning his first two big-league starts, Mazzaro has gone a putrid 0-7 with a 6.31 ERA in eight outings - losing his last six. And Oakland, which is 1-9 in its last 10 games in Boston, has lost seven of 10 and 27 of 42 since early June. Putting it bluntly, this is a team that is playing terribly and is in a bad spot this week, in having to face the rugged American League East. This is all Boston once again, as it wins by a bundle.

300? RANGERS (Action) - The Rangers lost the first six meetings with the Tigers this season to drop to 3-14 against them over the last three years. Last night Tommy Hunter settled into his start and led Texas to its seventh victory in eight games, and first win over Detroit of the 2009 campaign. What’s important to note is how the home team has dominated this series, and that’s our focus today – the home team in this series. Texas rolls in on additional runs of 5-0 at home, 19-7 at home against southpaw starters and 5-2 when hosting teams with a losing road record.

I’m not listing either pitcher in this one, but it’s important for me to note that Vicente Padilla could have an easy time against a Detroit team that has scored three runs or less in eight of its last 11 games. Texas has won 10 the right-hander’s 16 starts this season. And, Detroit is in on losing streaks of 1-4 against the American League West, 0-4 on the road against right-handed starters and 0-6 on the highway. Home team gets the money today boys, play Texas.

300? GIANTS (LIST Zito and Morton) - I am the first to admit, I am not a Barry Zito fan. But I don’t let personal feelings get in the way of my handicapping. And tonight I am a big Zito fan, as he is in revenge for a July 18 loss to the Pirates and right-hander Charlie Morton. Now understand, it’s not as if the southpaw didn’t pitch well, he turned in a quality start, tossing 6-1/3 innings, yielded just two earned runs, scattered six hits and struck out four. The Bucs simply got out in front and the Giants provided no support whatsoever … that was that. And to Zito’s defense, he’s received no runs of support in four of his last eight starts overall.

With this one back in San Francisco, and the Bucs coming in after being stymied by National League All-Star starter Tim Lincecum, who struck out a career-high 15, I’m going to bank on Zito to get revenge. The Pirates are sitting in the cellar of the National League Central and have lost three in a row. They also come in mired in losing ruts of 1-4 as an underdog, 1-5 versus the National League West and 1-6 against southpaw starters. Lay the home chalk.

Re: 7-28-09

Dominic Fazzini
Tuesday's play 10 Dime -- MARINERS (Washburn) over Blue Jays (Rzepczynski)

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

Jarrod Washburn (8-6, 2.71 ERA) just keeps improving his trade value with every start.

The Mariners left-hander is 5-1 with a 1.81 ERA over his last seven starts, and he’s allowed just two earned runs over 29 2/3 innings in last four outings. He gave up two hits in seven scoreless innings Thursday in a 2-1 win over Detroit.

Blue Jays rookie lefty Marc Rzepczynski (1-2, 2.82) has pitched well in his four major league starts, with quality outings in three of them. His last start was his worst, when he allowed four runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

Washburn hasn’t fared too well against Toronto in his career, going 4-7 with a 4.23 ERA in 12 starts, but Seattle is 4-1 in his last five outings vs. the Blue Jays.

The Mariners are 21-9 in their last 30 games as a favorite, and the Blue Jays are 1-6 in their last seven games vs. southpaws.

Washburn has been rumored to be moved before the trade deadline, and he’s been pitching like a man who is auditioning for a new job. I think he’ll pass his audition again today. Take the Mariners in this one.

Re: 7-28-09

Jeff Benton Tuesday's 15 Dime winner ... 15 DIME: MARINERS (over Blue Jays) ... NOTE: List Rzepczynski (Toronto) and Washburn (Seattle) as the starting pitchers. If either does NOT start, this play is VOID!


Mariners

I’m sure there are more than a few ‘cappers out there going the other way with this play because of the way Seattle has performed so far on its homestand (four straight losses to sub-.500 teams by a combined score of 42-10) and because they believe Mariners lefty Jarrod Washburn is way overdue for an implosion. Obviously, I feel quite differently.

No question Seattle has been dreadful over the last four games, which includes three blowout losses to the pathetic Indians over the weekend followed my Monday’s 11-4 loss to Toronto when the M’s had red-hot ace Felix Hernandez on the mound. But I’m of the belief that this is nothing more than a mini-slump that all teams go through during the course of the season.

After all, prior to beginning this homestand, the Mariners had been on overall runs of 8-3 and 21-11, including going 9-4 at home. Also, this four-game skid is Seattle’s longest since it lost five in a row from May 4-9 (and that five-game slide is the team’s longest negative stretch of the year).

Despite the pitching implosion lately, the Mariners continue to lead the American League with a 3.90 team ERA. And a big reason for that is Washburn. The veteran is 8-6 with a 2.71 ERA, including 5-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 10 starts at home. Most recently, Washburn is 4-0 with a sick 0.61 ERA, giving up just two runs in 29 2/3 innings with a pair of home wins over Baltimore and Texas and two road victories at Cleveland and Detroit.

If you take out a 4-2 loss at the Yankees in which he pitched decently (four runs allowed, including three home runs in the Yankee Stadium bandbox, over seven innings), Washburn has given up seven runs (six earned) in six starts since June 19, pitching a total of 42 2/3 innings, good for a 1.27 ERA. The Mariners are also 5-0 in Washburn’s last five home starts, and even if you throw in a 1-0 home loss to Baltimore on June 1, the lefty has given up seven earned runs in his last six home outings, registering a 1.29 ERA.

Four more points about Washburn: 1) He’s gone at least six innings in 11 consecutive starts and 17 of his 19 outings this year; 2) he led the Mariners to three victories over Toronto last year, giving up four runs in 20 innings (1.80 ERA); 3) he’s still backed by strong bullpen (Seattle’s relievers have a 3.88 ERA on the season); and 4) he’s quite possibly making his last start for the Mariners, as Washburn has been the subject of trade rumors (think he doesn’t want to prove his worth to a playoff contender that’s looking to bolster its pitching staff?).

Finally, despite Monday’s result, the Blue Jays are still just 8-17 in their last 25 games overall, including 3-8 in their last 11 on the road, and they’ve lost six of their last seven games to left-handed starters. Meanwhile, the Mariners have won 21 of their last 29 games as a favorite and five of their last seven at home against Toronto. In fact, the host has won 14 of the last 20 in this rivalry.

This line is waaaaayy to short, guys. Take the value and ride the red-hot Washburn, who will stop Seattle’s losing skid and prevent Toronto from achieving its first three-game winning streak in more than a month.

Re: 7-28-09

Tuesday ... 5-Dime Mets (no pitchers specifically, take whomever is going) - Sometimes off-color distractions can be good thing. So with the strange things taking place involving the Mets, I’ll bank on a fourth-straight win by them tonight, while extending their longest winning streak since a four-game run from May 25-29. I know Jason Marquis is toeing the hill, but the Mets have scored 25 runs while hitting .308 with five home runs during the current streak. And besides, there’s nothing wrong with counting on Mike Pelfrey, who is 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA in three starts against Colorado, winning his last two while throwing 13-2/3 scoreless innings. Take the home pup tonight at Citi Field, as the value is with the Mets.

5-Dime Reds Run Line (no pitchers specifically, take whomever is going) - Blowout win here boys, as the Padres rank last in the majors with 363 runs and a .230 batting average. They’ve scored three or fewer runs 14 times in their last 18 games and are a major league-worst 4-20 this month alone. And let’s not forget they lost two of three to the worst team in the majors over the weekend. The Friars rank 15th on the senior circuit in ERA, so there is no balance for that lackluster offense. Cincinnati will have no trouble covering the run line in going against Kevin Correia, who comes in after getting tagged for eight runs and nine hits with three walks against Philadelphia.

5-Dime White Sox (WITH Buehrle and Baker) - I know this has ‘trap’ written all over it, but if I’m going to fall for it with one pitcher in one situation – this is it. Mark Buehrle is pitching out of his mind right now, and is pure value as the road dog against Scott Baker. That’s the key here, is that Baker is a favorite in this clash. This is a revenge game for Buehrle, as the Minnesota righty allowed five runs in 6-1/3 innings yet still beat Buehrle on July 12. He lost his other start of the season versus the White Sox and has a rather high 6.88 ERA in 10 career starts against them. Let’s take Buehrle, who has allowed one run in 16-1/3 innings while winning his last two starts
