Baltimore has lost 11 of the last 12 games and they have also lost 19 of the last 23 games as an underdog of +150 or higher. Jon Lester is 10-0 vs. Baltimore over his career with an ERA of 2.22 and he is also 3-0 over the last 3 starts with an ERA of 0.82.

Matchup: Florida at N.Y. Mets
Time: 4:10 PM EDT (Sat)
Listed pitchers must go: (L) ROBERTSON, N vs. (L) NIESE, J
Play: Florida (ML +115)
Not easy going against the Mets at home, but there are too many good variables involved here to pass up the Marlins as even a small underdog. Florida has a sterling record against lefties this season, and with Jon Niese working his was back from an injury, I believe he will be vulnerable here. The only downer is that I'm relying on Nate Robertson, who can be pretty mediocre at times. But I'd actually rather have Robertson than Niese here, and considering the Mets record at home, this looks like one where the oddsmakers are indicating the road team at the low price. I'll back the Marlins to garner the victory.
Matchup: Minnesota at Oakland
Time: 9:05 PM EDT (Sat)
Listed pitchers must go: (L) LIRIANO, F vs. (R) CAHILL, T
Play: Oakland (ML +118)
The Twins managed to break their losing streak with the extra inning Friday night win, but this team is not real sharp right now. The A's have been a very good home team, and they're not bad against lefties so far this season. That bodes reasonably well for tonight's game as the A's challenge Francisco Liriano. The southpaw is still doing okay, but he is not dominating like he was in April. Trevor Cahill doesn't blow away the opposition, but he's clearly more savvy on the mound than he was as a rookie, and Cahill is proving very tough at home of late. I see value with Oakland getting a price at home tonight, so I'll take the dog odds and back the A's.
triple-dime bet 973 BOS -1.5 (-125) BetUS vs 974 BAL
Analysis:
Red Sox = -1.5 - 125 run line winner game at 7:05
LET'S ROLL OUT A TEAM LOOKING TO TUNE SOMEBODY UP HERE SATURDAY NIGHT!
3-1 LAST 3* MLB BOMBS
#4 RIGHT HERE!
Red sox tonight -1.5 runs get the call toni~ght as the John Lester lead Red sox pay back the Orioles from last series pasting. Lester is a monster 11-0 in his career against Baltimore and 7-0 in his last 10 times he has toed the rubber. He has also wheeled a 2.22 ERA and this pay back ball game is a huge JR O play. The O's send out Guthrie (3-5, 3.84 ERA) who has not hasn't beaten the Red Sox since May 13, 2008. Let's roll out a run line winner here as the JR O EXPRESS will put up a huge needed W with the Boys from Fenway.

double-dime bet 957 CIN (-130) BetUS vs 958 WAS
Analysis:
Cincy -130
Unreal value here with a smokin hot pitcher in Mike Leake for Cincy. His ERA over his past 3 games is 0.93 and he rarely gives up more than a hit an inning. He avergaes less than a hit a inning on the year, and is 4-0. The Nats have a decent pitcher on the hill as well but his ERA is over 6 in his last 3, and I doubt he gets the run support needed to win this one, even at home. Also we are catching the Reds off a loss last night to the Nats as well, which I always like when the losing team has a hot pitcher coming off a previous nights loss. Cincy hitting over .300 at the plate against right handers the last 10 games, they have a better starter, better offense in this one, and while their bullpen has not been stellar as of late and the Nats has, I like OFFENSE in this one for the Reds to win it, as they get a lead early.
In a tight NL East race, home field advantage means everything. The Mets play great baseball at home, which is actually the biggest edge they have over Florida today. Look for New York to get the big home win. Take the Mets.
