*300 Los Angeles Angels -127

I am going with the Angels to get the Win tonight. I have a nice starter trend against the Tigers starter Justin Verlander that says he is 0-8 SU when he is a dog less than 135 and in his last start he pitches less than 3 innings. I also have the Angels as 12-0 SU Since 2006 as a favorite after a loss in which they had 12+ hits. Take the Angels for the Win.

*200 Cleveland Indians -110



I am taking the Indians for the win tonight. I have several trends in favor of a SU Indians win that total 40-8 and several trends against the Royals that total 9-54 SU. I also have the Indians as 12-2 SU since 2007 vs a team that has lost at least their last three games and it isthe first game of a series. Finally, I have the Royals as 1-13 SU since 2007 at home after a loss in which they did not draw a walk. Take the Indians for the win.

*200 Toronto Blue Jays -131

I am taking the Blue Jays for the Home Win tonight. I have a nice starter trend on Roy Halladay that says he is 12-2 SU when at home and line less than -150 and his opponent scored less than 6 runs in their previous game. I also have the Blue Jays as 26-7 SU, since 2006 as a home favorite after a win in which they left 18+ men on base. Finally, I have the Rays as 22-62 SU since 2006 on the road after a loss in which they had a higher team left on base than their opponent. Take the Blue Jays for the Win.

*200 New York Jets +3

Sanchez will open as the Jets QB against the Ravens tonight. Clemens is still battling for the starting position as well. Expect to see more of Sanchez and Clemens with the starting job effectively on the line Monday night. The Jets also got a strong performance from third-stringer Erik Ainge in their loss to the Rams. Ainge was 10-of-17 for 148 yards with a TD. Sanchez came into the 23-20 loss with 28 seconds left in the first quarter, and threw a 48-yard pass to David Clowney on his opening play. He completed three of four passes for 88 yards in one series. Clemens, entering his fourth season, was 4 of 4 for 24 yards. This is a strong QB battle with an impressive 3rd stringer for a QB. The Ravens won easily in their first outing and have acquired a number of injuries.

The majority of the wagers coming in on this game are for the Ravens, 68% of them. The line has remained flat, however the juice tell us a diferent story. The books are asking for money on the Ravens tonight. We will fade the public and take the side of vegas in this one. Place your wager on the Jets and feel comfortable with it.

Good Luck!!

Monday's Play
5 Dime - Colorado (Marquis) - 1 1/2 Runs over San Francisco(Zito)



The Chicago Cubs practically gave away Jason Marquis during the offseason. Tonight the righthander takes the mound at Coors Field seeking to become the National League's first 15-game winner as the Rockies attempt to open a four-game lead over visiting San Francisco in the wild-card race.



Marquis, who has won his last two outings to improve to 14-8 on the season with a 3.58 ERA, has a 2.30 earned run average in eight career starts versus San Francisco. He's also pitched well at home this season with a 3.86 ERA in 11 outings, and the Rockies have won 16 of his 24 starts overall.



Colorado is coming off consecutive comeback wins against the Giants, following Saturday's 14-11 triumph by rallying for two runs in the seventh for a 4-2 triumph on Sunday against San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum. The Rockies have won six of their last seven games with the lone loss coming in Friday's series opener and they're 16 games over .500 on the season, including 10 games over the break-even mark at home where they've won 25 of their last 35 games. By comparison, following back-to-back losses at Coors, the Giants are now 28-37 on the highway.



San Francisco sends Barry Zito to the mound and although he's pitched well most of the season, the lefthander has been continually victimized by a lack of offensive support as the Giants have averaged a league-low 2.9 runs in his starts. Zito carries a 4.52 road ERA into this start, a number that is not surprising considering he's allowed 102 baserunners in 73.2 highway innings. And tonight, Zito faces a Colorado club that is 13-7 at home versus southpaws, winning 10 of its last 11 against lefties.



With San Francisco losing three of its last four, and the Giants repeatedly failing to support Zito at the plate, it's worth the investment laying the 1 1/2 runs with Colorado to make Marquis and the Rockies a slight home dog.
