Minnesota Twins -130 (8:10pm et - June 8th 2010)
At 8:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Minnesota Twins over Kansas City. The Royals will once again hand the ball to last year's Cy Young Winner Zack Greinke. And Greinke has been unable to capture the magic of last season in 2010. He's now 1-7, with a respectable 3.60 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. But over his last three outings, his ERA is 7.05, so there's definitely some issues with him currently. One of his problems this year has been the long ball (he's surrendered nine home runs in 75 innings), and his other problem — though out of his control — is run support. The Royals have scored 4+ runs in just four of his 12 starts. But because he's not getting run support, he may be trying to pitch too fine to the hitters, rather than just going out there, and letting his immense talent win out. Tonight, he'll have his hands full with a Twins team that has defeated him in nine of 12 games in his career, including 10-3 earlier this season. Slowey has had tremendous success vs. KC, with a 4-1 record, and a 3.38 ERA. And the Twins are 18-9 at home this year. Take Minnesota. Good luck, as always Al McMordie.

New York Mets -140 (7:10pm et - June 8th 2010)
The Mets have asserted themselves as a very good home team this season, and I like their chances tonight behind Pelfrey. The Mets have won 20 of their last 26 home games, and Pelfrey provides them with an excellent opportunity to continue their winning ways. He's 8-1 with a 2.42 ERA on the season, including a perfect 5-0 at home with a 2.05 ERA. And over his last 3 starts, he's been near-perfect, going 3-0 with a 0.86. It is also worth noting that those wins came against the two teams that appeared in the World Series last season (Yanks, Phillies) and the team he is facing tonight. Richard has been pretty solid for San Diego, but he figures to have his work cut out for himself tonight when you consider the Mets dominance of left-handed starting pitching. The Mets are a perfect 7-0 in their last 7 home games vs. a left-handed starter. And it is also worth mentioning that the Mets are 5-0 in their last 5 games following an off day. Bet the Mets.

100% NBA GAME OF THE MONTH; 2-0 IN FINALS

Our Selection: Lakers Opponent: Celtics Line: +3
Analysis: At 9 pm, our NBA Game of the Month is on the Los Angeles Lakers plus the points over Boston, as L.A. falls into 101-49, 30-11, and 40-16 ATS systems of mine. Let's take a look at our 30-11 angle. Here, what we want to do is play on any .534 (or better) team in the Playoffs, if it's on the road in a competitively-priced game (i.e., the pointspread is 5 points or less), and is off a home loss of 8+ points. And, in the NBA Finals, this system is a perfect 4-0 ATS! With Los Angeles in off a 103-94 loss at home to the Celtics, we'll play on Pau Gasol & Co. to rebound tonight, and steal a win in Beantown. Take the points.

Our Selection: Mets Opponent: Padres Line: -142
Analysis: At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Mets over the San Diego Padres. With so many top aces in the National League this season like Ubaldo Jimenez, Roy Halladay, Adam Wainwright, and Josh Johnson, one who has gotten a bit lost in the shuffle is the Mets' Mike Pelfrey. All the big righthander has done this season is go 8-1 with a 2.39 ERA in his first 11 starts. This is only Pelfrey's fifth season in the Majors but it is by far his best and he is probably headed to his first All Star game come mid-July. This is another great test for Pelfrey facing a very good team like San Diego and in fact Pelfrey just beat them in his last start on the road on June 1. If Pelfrey can do it at Petco Park, then he should be able to repeat the feat at Citi Field, where the Mets have the best home record in baseball at 22-9. The Padres will start lefthander Clayton Richard and Richard has also been pretty effective this season, though not nearly as impressive as Pelfrey. He took a no-decision in his last start against this Mets team on June 2, but he threw a season-high 109 pitches in that start. This will be Richard's first start ever at Citi Field. Take the Mets.
