Craig's 5 star TWILIGHT MLB WINNER (12-3 RUN)

Posted By: Craig Trapp
Game Date / Time: July 29th, 2009 - 9:40 PM
This is a Guaranteed Pick on the Spread for the Full Game.
Yesterday had his first losing day since the ALL STAR BREAK going 0-1! But the good news is Craig is still 12-3 since the break and today will add to it with an easy GUARANTEED WINNER. Craig's Twilight Winners are 3-1 this year in MLB and today he will add to his winners!
The Bottom Line

PHI -1.5 (-101): PHI is the hottest team in the NL and today they look to continue there hot streak verse a very bad ARI team. Pretty simple pick here with a very good lineup for PHI and a very young pithcer Happ on the mound. Happ had his firts loss of year and 1st time he did not have a quality start in the last 7 starts. On the road he is 4-0 on the year with a 1.57 ERA. On the other side Petite goes for ARI looking for his first win on year as he is currently 0-5 on the year. Even worse he is 0-4 at home with a ballooning 8.59 ERA. ARI has trouble scoring runs and HAPP will continue his dominance. On the other side ARI can't score runs for the life of them. EASY R/L WINNER! GOOD VALUE

MLB | Jul 29
Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers Total
8½ under-110 at SPBOOK > 13h.

DET/TEX under 8.5: DET and TEX have both been two of the best under teeams on the season. Detroit has gone Under is 21-7 last 28 road games and Texas is under 8 of last 10 games! Texas has been winning games but not by scoring a ton of runs and today they will struggle against ace Verlander for DET. Verlander has only given up 2 runs in last 23 runs. Good thing for TEX is they have a very tough piture Feldman who has only given up 6 runs in last 4 starts in over 26 innings. Detroit has struggled scoring runs lately only scoring over 3 runs in last 10 games. Not sure if this one gets above 4 runs between these teams. UNDER 8.5 is the play!

WEDNESDAY'S PLAYS 40 Dime Phillies (RL)

Phillies at Diamondbacks
Phillies (Happ) 1 1/2 Runs Over Diamondbacks (Petit)
PHILLIES (RL) - There is absolutely no denying how impressive the Philadelphia Phillies have been over the last month.

Including last night’s 4-3 win the Phillies have gone 19-3 their last 22 games overall and have now won each of their last 5 games on the road. In those five road games, Philadelphia has outscored its opponents by a total of 25-10.

Tonight, the Phillies will get over easily as the Run Line comes through once again for Philadelphia.

Taking the mound for Philly will be J.A. Happ, who has won 2 of his last 3 starts. In both of those wins the Phillies have outscored their opponents by a combined 10-2, winning on average, 5-1. Over his last 5 road starts, the Phillies have outscored their opponents, on average, 5.1-2.8.

Opposite Happ will be the Diamondbacks’ Yusmeiro Petit, who has been absolutely horrible for Arizona this year. In his nine starts this season the Diamondbacks have gone 1-8 and have been outscored by a total of 73-40 and have lost by an average score of 8.1-4.4.

Tonight, things won’t get any better as the Phillies Run Line the Diamondbacks.

Wednesday's Lineup
40 Dime ---- GIANTS (With Cain) -1 1/2 RUN LINE over PIRATES (With Duke)

Sometimes you simple can't avoid the writing on the wall. Matt Cain is better than Zach Duke. San Francisco's bullpen is better than Pittsburgh. Without Adam LaRoche, Pittsburgh's offense is just one step above San Diego (a small step). San Francisco plays better defense and they're playing at home, coming in off a 3-2 win on Tuesday night.

Today's affair has all the makings of a San Francisco blowout. Everything, and I mean everything, points to the Giants, and that's the reason I'm stepping up my play today. I just love Matt Cain too much NOT to back him, especially when he's pitching at home during the day. Remember, this game is a 1:45 pm local start in San Francisco, and when Cain pitches during the daylight, he's nearly impossible to score on. Cain's numbers during the day are quite impressive in six starts... 4-1 record, 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a .176 opponent's batting average against. These numbers sound eerily similar to what Cain did to the Pirates the last time he faced them in Pittsburgh (just 10 days ago).

Look, I understand Tim Lincecum is still considered the ace of this staff and the face of the franchise, but Matt Cain has been just as consistent and I'm not sure, if I had to pick between them to pitch for me for one game, who I'd pick. Cain has been "that good" this season and should have no problem shutting down a team that hits just .240 against right-handed pitchers and .239 on the road.

San Francisco, on the other hand, hits better in their own backyard (.278) than they do on the road and they would much rather face lefties than righties (.269 vs. .295). Guess what... they get their wish today as 9-game winner (and southpaw) Zach Duke takes the hill for the Pirates, ironically enough, against the same team and pitcher he faced just 10 days ago... Matt Cain and the SF Giants. Cain beat him in Pittsburgh (dominated him statistically) 4-3 and should have no problem doing it to him again this afternoon. Duke has lost four of his last five starts and hasn't allowed less than three earned runs in any of those games. This one might not be pretty, but it'll end in our favor as Cain will dominate the Pirates for at least seven innings and the Giants will roll the Pirates, 8-2.

Lenny Del Genio | MLB Money Line Wed, 07/29/09 - 4:40 PM

double-dime bet 970 SEA (+155) SportBet vs 969 TOR
Analysis: Play on Seattle at 4:40 ET. The Blue Jays hitters appear to be acting like Roy Halladay is already out the door as they've been giving him no run support at all lately, totalling just seven runs in his last three starts. Incredibly, they've lost two of those games despite Halladay allowing just five runs in 25 IP over that span. We're calling for the upset today as Seattle got off the proverbial schnide last night with a 4-3 win and the quick turnaround works to their advantage as the M's are 9-3 this year at Safeco Field in day games. Toronto has lost money on the road all season and over the L3 years is just 25-36 when favored away from home. All this trade talk serves as a distraction and the Mariners will take advantage. Seattle is our **AFTERNOON** Underdog Shocker.

Re: 7-29-09

this lillefty guy has been on an incredible run for me! hope you have been taking advantage too

have an early day game 3* play going so get your plays purchased www.stbernadinesports.com

here is the free play for wednesday

yesterday Vinny Padilla tested positive for the swine flu and the pitcher change cancelled the free play. Overall the free play is still on a 7-1 run and all my plays are on a 19-1 avalanche!! Let's try to keep the snowballs rolling downhill by heading out to Wrigley where 2 hot hitting teams are squaring off with a lower than expected total.

Houston has gone over the total now 5 of their last 7 games as their has been 80 runs scored in those 7 games(11.42 avg). Mike Hampton has been scuffling as of late. In his L3 starts he has only managed to go 15 IP w/7.84 era and a 2.07 whip. This plays right into the hands of a Cub team that has score almost 60 runs in their last 10 games. The Astros bullpen hasn't helped the cause lately, ranking 27 out of 30 teams in the last week in ERA.

Wells is going for Chicago and he has won 6 of 7 starts. He has been the beneficiary of facing some bad teams w/weak offenses. In his last 3 starts he has given up 11 ER in 18 IP(5.50 era). Today he gets to face a Stros team that has hit over .300 as a team 5 of its last 7 games.

Both pens were used heavily yesterday as Oswalt was hurt in the 2nd inn and dempster has a short outing as well. Finally the ump Davis has averaged over 10 runs a game in his outings behind the plate this year.

Re: 7-29-09

4 Unit Play.

* Take Under 9.5 between the Philadelphia Phillies @ Arizona Diamondbacks (Wednesday @ 9:40pm est).*

I think we've found a solid situation for the Under here.* J.A. Happ is a solid pitcher for the Phillies and he has produced some sound numbers for them as he is 7-1 with a 2.97era this year.* Heck, that's stellar. He comes off getting roughed up in his last start as he gave up 5 runs on 10 hits to the Cards in Philadelphia as the Phillies lost 1-8.* Obviously, he took the loss hard as prior to that loss he had pitched 6 straight quality starts.* Hence, he is clearly on the bounce-back this evening.* Tack that on with the fact Petit gave up 6 runs in less than 5 innings in his last effort, he too is on the bounce-back.* Petit realizes that he has to shape up and shape up quick as the Dbacks are going to start rummaging through their pitching core and likely will make several changes in the off-season. In short, if he doesn't get his act together now, they will start bringing up some talent from the minors.* I look for Happ to have a stellar game and I look for Petit to likely pitch 5 innings and give up 3 runs as this game likely ends around 5-3. The under is 5-0 in Happ's last five starts, the Under is 4-0 when Happ is a favorite and the Under is 6-1 when Petit starts as an Underdog of this margin

.4 Unit Play.

Take Under 145 between the LA Sparks @ Chicago Sky (Wednesday @ 8pm est).

I have been writing about the Sparks for some time and how they are showing improvement with the return of Candace Parker.* She comes off her first double-double performance of the year with 10 points and 12 boards, but she gives the Sparks a defensive intensity and presence which is the most important thing.* I expect her to do very well today once again but more importantly, I expect the Sparks to start to re-establish themselves on the defensive end.* This team had already been playing great defense prior to her joining the team and now her presence only aids that.* The Sparks are a more half-court and deliberate team than in the past.* I look for them to take control of this game, likely win this outright, but given that Chicago can struggle against defensive teams (i.e. against Indiana at home losing 54-83), I believe the Sky will be held in check today. This is the only wnba game on tap today and the public will likely continue to raise this total as they love to play overs more in general than unders.* So, if you can wait on this line, do so. The Under is 8-1 when the Sparks play the Eastern conference and the Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.
