Game: Boston Red Sox @ Philadelphia Phillies - Friday May 21, 2010 7:05 pm
Pick: 5 unit(s) TOTAL: Under 9 (110) (Game of the Month)

25* graded play Under Boston/Philadelphia set to start at 7:05 EST. Our proprietary sports handicapping model and simulator shows a high probability that 8 or fewer runs will be scored in this game. Let’s take a look at some of the game situations that reinforce the model grading for this play. Remember too, that the systems, game situations, and fundamentals MUST support/confirm the grading otherwise their is no play made. Boston is 17-5 UNDER (+11.0 Units) in road games versus a starting pitcher whose strikes out 5 or more batters per start over the last 2 seasons; 20-7 UNDER (+11.6 Units) vs. an AL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.400 to 1.500 since 1997. Boston starter Lackey is a solid 19-5 UNDER (+13.2 Units) in an inter-league game since 1997. Philies are 19-6 UNDER (+12.4 Units) as a home favorite of -125 to -150 over the last 2 seasons. Boston offense is batting just 258 and have not had a stolen base over the past 7 games. The ability of speed teams - like TB for example - to get on base puts significantly more pressure on the pitcher and defense. In this case, the lack of that speed and a LH starter in Hamels on the hill will make it near impossible for Boston to steel a base. That keeps the force and DP available for a very strong Phillies infield. Both bullpens are very strong with Philadelphia posting a season ERA of 3.78 and 2.84 over the past 7 games. Boston bullpen has posted a 3.20 ERA over the past 7 games and have one of the best closers in the game available tonight. The model projects that the starters (Lackey and Hamels) will complete a minimum of 12 or more innings. Should 12 innings be attained then there is a near certainty that the UNDER will win based on the model projections. Lackey has done well against LH batters this season and is expected to contain Utley/Howard/Ibanez tonight. Hamels will certainly have a lot of confidence entering this game knowing that the current members of the Red Sox have his just 213 spanning 61 AB. LH batters are hitting just 143 against Hamels. Take the UNDER.

Blue Jays at Diamondbacks
Pick: Blue Jays +155

Dan Haren continues to be priced as an elite starter even though his numbers clearly show he's off to a slow start. In his last seven starts he owns a less than impressive 5.09 ERA. At home this year he has a 5.88 ERA with a .290 opponent batting average against. His last five starts against Toronto haven't been any better, as witnessed by his 6.19 ERA against the Jays.

Toronto is a free swinging team that has had great success on the road this year. The Blue Jays are 14-7 away from home and 22-12 on the season against right-handed starters. After facing the pitching of Texas, Minnesota and Seattle the Jays won't be intimidated by Haren tonight.

The Diamondbacks are just 9-11 at home and 14-18 this season vs righty starters. Brandon Morrow has permitted three earned runs or less in 5 of his last 6 starts. He should find success against this young Arizona lineup.

PLAY TORONTO

Indian Cowboy's


5-Unit Play. Take #604. Take Washington Mystics -3.5 over the New York Liberty (Friday @ 7pm est)

Washington is good this year folks. Think about it, this team went on the road in the home opener and defeated the Indiana Fever 72-65 as a 6.5 dog. Heck, the fact that Vegas made them a 6.5 dog on the road was indicative that they believed this team has improved from last year. This team is not the step child of years' past, but very good and their young players have developed well. With Monique Currie, Crystal Langhorne, Katie Smith and Lindsay Harding, this team is rock solid. And, now they start their home opener against the New York Liberty as they come off back to back victories over not only the Indiana on the road but also over Minnesota by double-digits. These are quality wins and I think the city of Washington is excited about this ballclub as they face a very good New York team who just recently defeated Chicago at home. But, my power rankings have a strong liking to the Mystics after two big quality wins and playing home against a team who they got beat by twice last year. I look for Washington to be the surprise and to be one of the most improved team of 2010. The Liberty are 0-3-1 ATS when playing a team with a winning record and are one of the most closely watched teams in Vegas as per their ATS spread covers and Washington 5-1 ATS when playing on more than three days rest

0-1 yesterday...a 15 dime loser on the bluejays..overall, 39-46-3 MINUS 95 dimes.

Friday's Winner ... 20 Dime: KANSAS CITY ROYALS ... NOTE: Specify Brian Bannister (Royals) and Jason Hammel (Rockies) as the starting pitchers. If either does NOT start, this play is VOID!


Royals

I’m not sure how long it’s going to last, but the managerial change the Royals made last week seems to be working. Since the day Trey Hillman got canned and Ned Yost took over, Kansas City has won six of its last eight games, and believe it or not a big reason has been pitching. The Royals have given up just 27 runs during this eight-game span (or 3.4 runs per game), and they’ve held eight of their last nine opponents to four runs or fewer, with a team ERA less than 3.70 during this stretch.

Granted, the schedule hasn’t been all that daunting over this span (Indians, White Sox and Orioles), but it’s not like the Rockies are anything special. Colorado has been the very definition of mediocre (20-20 overall this season; 9-11 last 20 games; 9-13 on the road). And if you take away stud pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez – who dominated the Astros in a 4-0 victory last night to improve to 8-1 in nine starts and end Colorado’s four-game road losing streak – the Rockies’ record drops to 12-19.

As for this pitching matchup, I’ll take Brian Bannister over Jason Hammel in a heartbeat. Bannister has been pretty inconsistent this season (5.09 ERA), but Hammel has been downright dreadful (7.71 ERA). And while Bannister has been solid at home (2-1, 3.70 ERA, including a 5-3 victory over the White Sox on Sunday), Hammel got destroyed in his two road starts (11 runs allowed in 8 2/3 innings at the Braves and Nationals).

Also, Bannister faced the Rockies twice in interleague play in 2007 and 2008 and gave up a combined three earned runs and eight hits in 12 innings, winning 10-5 in Denver and 8-4 at home. In fact, the Royals won five of six contests in those two series, including a three-game home sweep in ‘08.

Kansas City has the better offense right now (.282 batting average last 10 games vs. .243 for Colorado) and the better pitching staff (3.79 overall ERA, 3.24 bullpen ERA last 10 games vs. 3.92 overall ERA, 5.88 bullpen ERA for Colorado). So to get the Royals at a slight underdog is great value.
