double-dime bet 951 STL (-145) Bodog vs 952 ARI
Analysis: Stan is Betting ST LOUIS today. Stan notes that St. Louis should be in an angry mood after getting swept in LA to start the week. Expect that streak to stop here as they send Jaime Garcia to the mound tonight. In 6 road starts this year he has only given up 7 earned runs. He should handle the Arizona bats tonights. TAKE ST. LOUIS as STAN'S 2* MLB GAME OF THE WEEK.

dime bet 967 KAN (+155) BetUS vs 968 CIN
Analysis: I missed the boat last night as I had the Royals circled as a Rabid Dog release against the Twins but just could not pull the trigger. Of course they prevailed an it was a lost opportunity. In all honesty however at 9-8 the game could have gone either way.
I see real solid value here tonight with Ned Yost's Royals as they begin an inter league series in Cincinnati against the Reds. I well recall last june when these two clubs clashed and Kansas City swept the Reds in three straight. Not predicting that will happen but I love getting KC sta‚rter Luke Hochevar at this price with the way he has been pitching of late. Hochevar, the top draft pick back in 06 has been a little slow finding his way in the bigs but it looks like things are coming together for him. His last four outings he has held opponents to a 214 batting average and he consistently puts his team in a position to win. His opponent tonight Bronson Arroyo has had a total of seven career starts in inter league play and has struggled to say the least sporting a lofty 7.30 era in those outings. I am candidly not seeing exactly why the odds makers have the Reds as such heavy chalk here but I will gladly take a shot here with Kansas City and Luke Hochevar

dime bet 973 TOR (+188) Sportbet vs 974 COL
Analysis: I understand and fully expect this selection to be about as popular as a trip to the dentist. We all know what Ubaldo Jimenez has evolved into, it's well documented. Well since he is now the Colorado stopper that is exactly what he needs to do friday night as his club is struggling. His Rockies have now dropped 6 of their last 8 games including the last 3. Now they face the Jays Ricky Romero who is getting completely over shadowed here and frankly he is a stud pitcher by his own right. I fully expect Romero to bring his A‚ game tonight to Coors field.
Guys this game is all about the value, I do not know when we will see the Jays and Romero at this kind of price. It is very well worth a shot against a club that has just dropped 3 straight at home against the Houston Astros. The Jays come to Denver off a 4-5 stretch but lets be honest here, huge difference because they were dealing with the Yankees and Rays. I doubt Jimenez and the Rockies intimidate them. Let's go for it with Colorado guys.

double-dime bet 973 TOR (+200) BetUS vs 974 COL
Analysis: Toronto @ Colorado 9:10 PM EST
Play On: 3* Toronto +200 (Romero/Jiminez) Listed

Toronto is 28-19 this year against right handed starters scoring a nice 5.7 runs per game. Ricky Romero is 5-2 with a 3.06 ERA overall this year. Blue Jays are 9-4 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Rockies are 4-13 in their last 17 during game 1 of a series. Rockies are 2-8 in their last 10 vs. American League East. Rockies are 2-5 in Jimenezs last 7 interleague starts. Jiminez has been incredible this year but it ends tonight. We'll play Toronto for 3 units tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

dime bet 975 SEA (+137) Sportbet vs 976 SDP
Analysis: The more I look at this first Interleague card, the more I realize that we have to continue to be ultra-selective, find that crazyˆ AL/NL groove, and then dominate.


Today, we're going with just this one play, and it shakes out well, since we have everything going in our direction except the bullpens.


We have the edge at starter. Jason Vargas is "equilibrating", but he is still making pitches when he needs to, and Petco can bring out the best in just about everyone. So can the Padres' version of the "barely enough" offense. We saw how San Diego tries to win games. Keep it close, and try to extract a run late in the ballgame. Those wins are almost like watching someone learn how to use a juicer. Or better yet, pulling teeth, but at the end of the day, the dentist wins most of those battles. Alright, enough silly similes. Tonight, our edge at starter is pronounced, since Vargas should be good, and Correia is still not quite right. Since his return from the Bereavement List, Correia had one good start, and even in that one the Cardinals let him off the hook in just about every messy inning. I don't know if his mind isn't right, but he's wild both in and out of the strike zone, and he's getting hit hard. Since coming back from the horrible death of his brother, Correia has given up 4, 4, 0, 6 and 4 runs in his 5 starts, including 28 hits, 14 walks, just 17 strikeouts, and all that, in just 25 innings. He's been a mess, is the short version.


We also have the edge in energy. The Padres are coming off a day/night double-header in New York yesterday, so basically everyone got in there. They had to make the long flight to San Diego from New York late at night, and now have to play host with tired arms, tired legs, and some significant 3-hour jetlag. The Mariners weren't in San Diego's back yard, but coming from Texas is a significantly shorter journey, as the time difference is an hour less, the flight is shorter, and they didn't play a double header.


Obviously, the concern with this game comes from the bullpen. The Mariners pitching was not good in Texas, aside from Cliff Lee, and while Vargas and Fister, two of their best, didn't get to throw in Arlington, that poor pitching is a good reason to play this game for just a 1*. I strongly believe, though, that Petco and a tired, weak-hitting Padres team will be just what the doctor ordered to get the Mariners pitching staff back on track.


You can see from the total at 6.5 that runs are likely to be at a premium, but I think our edge with Correia's mental issues is going to be the difference. Vargas should go 6-7 innings and give up 1-2 runs, Correia is going to surrender 2-4 runs, and if the Seattle pen can go 2 innings without imploding, we should have ourselves a nice "jetlag winner" with the Padres most likely bouncing back over the weekend (and perhaps we can back them, then).


Play on the Mariners tonight!

Brett Atkins Friday 25 Dime Interleague Grand Slam - BOSTON RED SOX (list Lackey as pitcher for the Red Sox)

This classic Interleague rivalry has been completely one-sided the last few years with the Red Sox dominating the Phillies. In fact, the Red Sox dominate any National league team they face, going 65-24 in Interleague play the last few years and 39-13 when they see N.L. East teams like the Phillies. John Lackey is on the hill for Boston tonight and he’s 4-1 at home and 2-0 in his last three games. The Red Sox beat the Phillies two of three in Philadelphia last month and they’ll pick up where they left off here tonight. Philadelphia is just 2-6 against A.L. East teams and 16-37 when they square off against A.L. right-handers. Go ahead and play the favorite in this one with Lackey and the Red Sox.



Jay McNeil Friday night winner ... 200 Dime Rockies (minus the Run Line vs. Toronto)

ROCKIES RUN LINE (With Jimenez) --- This is a great spot for Ubaldo Jimenez to keep his season-long domcnance going, as the Jays are in after a treacherous series with the Rays in Tampa Bay, and arrive in the Mile High City for a weekend set in the rarified air. This will be a tough stretch for Toronto, especiially tonight, as it will play its fourth straight road game in as many days, and now must face the best pitcher in baseball.

Through 12 starts, Jimenez has been better than any pitcher in nearly a century. Jimenez, who is 11-1 this season, has a 0.93 ERA – the second-lowest ever through 12 starts. Only left-hander Dutch Leonard’s 0.83 ERA through 12 starts with the Red Sox in 1914 was lower.

I realize Jimenez has is 2-4 with a 4.20 ERA in six career starts against the American League, but Colorado is an National League-best 13-5 in Interleague play since the start of 2009 and is in the right spot to shake a three-game skid.

True, the Blue Jays are one team that can hit Jimenez hard, as their 98 home runs through 61 games put them on pace to challtnge the single-season record, but with the Jays traveling overnight, and having to play in this altitude, I think there could be an issue with the Jays.

Play the Rockies tonight, and take them on the Run Line.



Joel Tyson Friday's Selections .... Interleague time, and I will ride the red-hot sticks of Texas to do some more rakcng in Milwaukee tonight. The pitching matchup of Harden and Narveson is pretty much a wash, as both hurlers have been getiting lit up on a regular basis, so you have to look at the bats in this one.

Milwaukee does have some pop in their lineup, but with the Brewers just 10-17 at home this year, I will put my 20 dime wager down on Texas and their 33-27 mark to keep pace in the AL West standings.

Up until last year, Rich Harden had been solid against Milwaukee in his past dealings against them, and 2 of Harden's 3 wins this year have indetd come on the road.

Narveson's last 16 innings have seen 13 runs score, so no way he holds down this potent Texas attack.

Rangers your 20 dime winner.

10 dime bonus baby on Washington over Cleveland.

Atilano has not lost on the road this year, and his road ERA is just a shade over 3. Westbrook has not won at home this year, and his home ERA is well over 5.

The Nats just swept 3 off the Pirates, and a win tonight evens their season ledger at .500.

The Indians used a dramatic 9th inning comeback to beat Boston last night, but remain a negative 10-16 at home for the year.

I am riding Washington to capture the weekend opener.

Keep in mind that both listed pitchers must start, or there is no action on the releases.



Matt Rivers Friday's Action 100,000? Winner on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS over the Cleveland Indians. This is an action play. The Nats are listed from +105 to +115 in Vegas and offshore, so make sure you shop around for the best possible price!

100,000?–

NATIONALS

Take the Nats for the road win over the Tribe

Washington is in a groove right now. The Nats swept a three-game home set over the Pirates, highlighted by Stephen Strasburg’s dominating debut in the opener.

That mojo has carried over and the Nats have the look of a team that is ready to make some strides.

The Tribe is terrible and doesn’t seem to have any direction.

Cleveland has lost five straight interleague starts by Jake Westbrook, who allowed six runs in just 4 2-3 innings on Sunday in an 8-7 road loss to the woeful White Sox.

The Nats are swinging the bats well right now and should pound Westbrook.

Take Washington for the win.



Michael Cannon Friday's Plays...
20 Dime Winner on the MINNESOTA TWINS over the Atlanta Braves with Hudson and Liriano as the listed pitchers. If either pitcher does not start, this play is void.

10 Dime Winner on the TEXAS RANGERS over the Milwaukee Brewers. This is an action play.

20 Dime –

TWINS (With Hudson and Liriano as listed pitchers)

Take the Twins for the home win over the Braves.

Francisco Liriano will start for Minnesota and he’s owned the NL in interleague play. The left-hander is 7-1 with a 2.67 ERA in eight career interleague starts. NL opponents are hitting just .198 against him and he has 61 strikeouts in 54 innings during that span.

The same can’t be said for Atlanta’s Tim Hudson.

The right-hander is 1-11 with a 7.27 ERA in 14 interleague starts since he was traded to Atlanta before the 2005 season.

Take the Twins for the home win.

10 Dime –

RANGERS (Action)

Take the Rangers for the road win over the Brewers.

Texas is swinging the bats well right now and that spells trouble for the Brewers. The Rangers have scored 31 runs in winning their last three games and will be facing a struggling Chris Narveson.

Narveson is 1-3 with a 6.59 ERA over his last five starts. Milwaukee starters have a 5.48 ERA over the last four games.

Take the Rangers as they grab the road win.
