Streaking and Slumping Pitchers

Streaking

Tommy Hanson, Atlanta Braves (6-3, 3.69 ERA)

The Braves young righty hasn’t lost a start since the middle of May and carries an ERA of 2.63 in his last four outings. Hanson has given up just seven total runs in his last 24 innings of work and is coming off a two-run, four-hit outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks last Thursday. He struck out 10 batters in that start, giving him 80 Ks on the year.

Jason Vargas, Seattle Mariners (4-2, 3.05 ERA)

The Mariners’ south paw hasn’t tasted defeat since early May but only has two wins in his last seven trips to the hill. Seattle is 4-3 in that span but has spoiled Vargas solid outings the last two times the pitcher has taken the mound. Vargas has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last 11 starts despite giving up a home run in six of those appearances.


Slumping

Zach Duke, Pittsburgh Pirates (3-7, 5.30 ERA)

The Bucs’ lefty hasn’t won since May 18, picking up three straight losses heading into Wednesday’s start against the Chicago White Sox. Duke settled down in his most recent start, giving up just two runs on eight hits versus the Washington Nationals. The two outings before that produced 13 earned runs on 22 total hits. Duke’s sinker, which has been his go-to pitch, just hasn’t been there for him in 2010. Reply Reply With Quote

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Tampa Bay Rays at Atlanta Braves (-135, 8.5)

The Rays' preseason goal of getting 1,000 innings from their starting rotation may be taking a toll earlier in the season than even they expected.

After a strong start toward that goal in April and May, the Rays' rotation has fallen on hard times in June. Only four times in their last 10 games has the starter been able to go for more than six innings, putting a strain on the bullpen.

Manager Joe Madden disagrees with critics who believe the 1,000 goal will hurt the team's chances down the stretch of the season, calling the recent slide more of a blip on the radar screen rather than a scary trend.

"They're all going to be fine," Madden said. "They're going to rebound and pitch like they did earlier in the season. I'm certain of that. It's just the ebb and flow of the season, and you have to expect it."

Today's starter, Wade Davis, has been one of the chief offenders. He threw seven solid innings in his last outing but two of his last four starts ended in the fourth inning, including eight earned runs in 3 1/3 innings against the Rangers on June 4.

The Braves are still swinging a hot bat, with Martin Prado leading the NL with 90 hits and Troy Glaus heating up with 40 since May 1. Not exactly a welcome sight for a tired rotation and bullpen.

Pick: Braves


Chicago White Sox at Pittsburgh Pirates (120, 8.5)

The White Sox's starting staff has the opposite situation as the Rays. And, fortunately for Chicago, the Pirates' offense is on the other end of the spectrum from the Braves.

Entering Tuesday's game, the Chi-Sox starters had contributed 35 2/3 innings and only six earned runs in the last run through the rotation for a tiny 1.55 ERA and a 4-1 record during that stretch, with the lone loss coming to the crosstown rival Cubs' Ted Lilly edging Gavin Floyd in a near double no-hitter.

Today's starter John Danks is coming off seven shutout innings against the Tigers and he faces an infinitely less imposing lineup in the Bucs, who have lost eight straight and have averaged fewer than three runs per game during that streak. The White Sox have scored eight runs or more three times during that same span.

When these two teams met last season the Pirates managed just four runs for the entire three game series. Hard to beat anybody with those kinds of numbers.

Pick: White Sox

Let's play on the on the + 250 dog today as no one bu~t JR O. will be backing a dog "yes that's right" a +250 live dog vs the Cy Young winner T. Lincecum. We will play on Baltimore O's Jeremy Guthrie 3-7, 3.83 who will look to avoid a 4 start loss streak here Wednesday afternoon. Let's look at the O's who have some talent and A Jones is hitting + 340 the last 10 games and the O's did scratch out a win last night. We note that J. Guthrie is 4-3 with a 2.48 ERA in the last 12 inter-league games. The O's are a sharp dog today and we will back them at + 250 today !!!

dime bet 926 KAN (+105) BetUS vs 925 HOU
Analysis:


Kansas City +105

This line shocked me, I figured KC at least -115 to -125 in this one with Chen on the hill who is pitching well for KC and 3-0 on the year, while Oswalt, Houstons once almost hittable stud, sporting over a 6 ERA his last 3 starts. KC off a huge 15-7 win last night, a game I was at in person in KC. Houston has owned KC recently, but KC on a roll in this series after last night and are playing a team who has managed only 19 wins in their last 68 road games. Houstons bullpen is deplorable as well with almost a 10 ERA headed into last night in their last 3 and KCs bullpen has really stepped up as of late.

Play 1 Unit on KC. Thanks and good luck, TG

Analysis:

World Cup Soccer - Chile vs Honduras

*DOUBLE Dime Play*


This is my first Double Dime Play of the tournament as we are getting plenty of value with Chile in this contest. In my opinion we are in front of a pure mismatch game but because Chile doesn’t have the same “brand name” like the others big nations we can get the best possible line.

Chile finished second in the toughest CONMEBOL Qualifying (ahead of Argentina for example) and already in the preparation for the WC they have won four straight games by scoring 9 goals without allowing a single goal. They are a pretty underrated team that plays a lovely offensive style to watch. Unlike the others team so far in the tournament they play with two creative midfield players in Matias Fernandez and Alexis Sanchez so against defensive minded teams like Honduras I really like their creativity to open gaps on the Honduras’ defense.

I’ve watched some games from Honduras and they play too defensively for a side that really hasn’t much talent at the back. Their 3 last friendlies games were ugly to watch as they draw 2-2 against an impressive Belarus team; they failed to score a single game agai€nst the poorest Azerbaijan team and against Romania they were crushed 0-3 with no mercy.

I expect Chile to dominate the entire game with their good ball possession and sooner or later they will score and win the game with some ease. Take Chile as my Double Dime Play.


Pick: 3 units on Chile (-0.5) @ -153 on 5 Dimes

Re: 6-16-10

BOB BALFE

Spain -1.5

Spain has a ton of offense and a decent defense which will hold down an average, at best, Swiss squad. Look for Spain to turn on the offense early and get an easy win. A lot of the better teams in the tournament whom have yet to play know they can not mess around and take a game ligtly after some of the upsets and unlikely draws occurring early on. Take Spain -1.5.


South Africa

Uraguay got a nice draw against France, but they will not be able to handle the raw speed and conditioning of South Africa. This game is also being played in high altitude which might throw off Uraguay, since their last game was at sea level. Let's go with the more fit and home team. Take South Africa pk (+120).
