Texas Rangers vs. Florida Marlins (MLB) - Jun 16, 2010 7:10 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -116 Florida Marlins Pick Title: Texas Rangers vs. Florida Marlins
Anibel Sanchez is a top pitcher that has never been able to get enough starts to find consistency, until now. He sat out the entire 2007 season, made just ten starts in 2008 and 16 a year ago. He is now healthy, and it shows. He has allowed two runs or less in eight of his last ten starts and no more than four in any of them. He has a very nifty 2.82 ERA at home on the season. Tommy Hunter is pitching in just his third game this season and this will be his first on the road. Last season he finished his last five road starts with a composite 8.06 ERA. Hard to put much faith in those numbers vs a healthy Sanchez dealing aces at home. I'll go with Florida here.

Uruguay +1.50 over SOUTH AFRICA

We now turn to the Uruguayans to pull ahead of Group A with a convincing win against the host South Africa. South Africa had no business drawing against a much better Mexican side but as the host team in an opening match in any tournament, we all knew they would come out strong looking for a positive result and probably play their best football. Uruguay, like their opponents drew a hard fought match against group favorites France while playing a man down for 25 minutes. Uruguay is far superior talent-wise in this particular match, as South Africa will have no answer for Uruguay's deadly attack led by Diego Forlan and Edinson Cavani. Now that the first round of matches are complete and teams have scouted each other, Uruguay will take advantage and seemingly punish the hosts and take control of Group A as they look forward to their final group match against the Mexicans. A good price and a great play here! Play: Uruguay +1.50 (Risking 2 units).


NY Mets –1.10 over CLEVELAND

What’s incredible is that the Indians have scored 43 runs over its last six ball games and the reason that’s incredible is that they can’t hit. Both Grady Sizemore and Asdrubal Cabrera are on the rack and likely won’t be back for the remainder of the year. The Indians have brutal numbers against southpaws and will face a resurgent one here in Jonathan Niese. Niese (77 BPV, 3-0-0-5-4 PQS) has rebounded well since his June 5 return to the Mets rotation. He tossed a one-hitter against SD in his last and pitched seven innings of one-run ball the start before that against a tough Marlins squad. In that game against FLA, he only threw 90 pitches. Over those last two starts, Niese struck out 12 and walked one and he induced 25 ground balls against just 12 fly-outs. Those are all great signs of a guy feeling it and he’s pitching for a team that’s also feeling it. The Mets have won five in a row and nine of its last 10 games. Mitch Talbot (-1 BPV, 2-4-3-4-0 PQS) continues to get by with shaky command and a fortunate and unsustainable hit/strand profile (26%/76%). He comes into this home start against a confident hitting Mets squad toting around a season ERA of 3.59, nearly 1.5 runs off his xERA (5.06). Talbot’s charmed life very likely hits a snag here. Play: NY Mets –1.10 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).


Los Angeles –1.10 over CINCINNATI

Rookie Mike Leake is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.68 and that’s pretty sweet. However, the Reds were winning, they were scoring plenty of runs for him and he was able to pitch with very little pressure on him. Well, those dynamics have changed, as the Reds are laboring badly with just three wins in its last eight and one of those wins was extremely lucky. Leake is coming off his first disaster of the season against the Giants in which he was rocked for 11 hits and 5 ER in 4.1 innings. He’ll now face a Dodger team that explodes every time they play here. In four games this season at Great American, the Dodgers have scored 40 runs and they could even run into a somewhat fragile Leake in this one. When he makes mistakes at home, those pitches have ended up on the other side of the wall at Great American (all 6 HR allowed coming at home) and he's had better numbers on the road. Clayton Kershaw (67 BPV, 5-5-4-4-5 PQS) has thrown a PQS-4 or 5 in seven straight. He punched out a season-high 10 batters in his last start and has 27 K’s over his last 18.2 IP. Cincinnati hits left-handers well and their offense clicks at home but they’re suddenly pressing and Kershaw is on a roll (1.91 ERA, since May 4) and he has dominated the Reds in limited past action. Play: Los Angeles –1.10 (Risking 2.2 units).


Milwaukee +1.45 over L.A. ANGELS

Joel Pineiro is about as average as they come and he’s coming off a complete game gem in L.A. against the Dodgers. In that game he threw 118 pitches and the game before that he threw 107 pitches in Seattle. Now he’s going to face an offense that has exploded for 19 runs in the first two games of this series. Milwaukee is also playing its best ball of the year with six wins in its last nine. Pineiro has been absolutely rocked on more than a few occasions already this year and figures to have a tough time here after two good games in pitcher-friendly venues. The Angels have struggled vs lefties all year, especially at home where they’ve won just four times in 11 games against left-handed starters. Chris Narverson can be extremely good. He has great stuff and when he’s throwing strikes he’s tough as shoe leather. Narveson has a BAA of just .244 and that number has been progressively coming down all season long. He has four pitches (fastball, slider, curve and change) and he’s now utilizing all of them with confidence. The price here adds to the appeal of playing the Brewers, as its chances of winning are just as good and maybe better than the Angels chances. Overlay. Play: Milwaukee +1.45 (Risking 2 units).

Re: 6-16-10

Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com has a Wednesday pick on the LA Dodgers.

Mike Leake has been a sensational story, straight from college to the big leagues and it's not a fluke as the guy is good. Leake's Reds also are very solid and at home will compete against pretty much anybody. But to get a tough lefty stud in Clayton Kershaw and the superior and harder hitting Dodgers at around a pick is enough to give it a go. Leake is good but he is no Kershaw!

Cincinnati has been really good this season winning more games than not and consequentially are right up there with the Cardinals. Votto is awesome and there are some other pieces with Bruce, Rolen and Philips among others. But they still do not have the upside of what Joe Torre's club brings to the table with Ethier, Manny, Kemp and some others and in this hitters park, unlike Chavez Ravine, I just think the cream will fully rise to the top.

As for the bullpens Jonathan Broxton and his under 1 era is lurking and the reliever advantage overall also goes to the blue.

Los Angeles doesn't always perform at their best and we saw that over the weekend against the in-state rival Angels at home but this team has stepped things up a ton ever since the shoddy first month and are clearly the more talented and superior team on the field today. Therefore in the end, and just like yesterday in this exact same spot, I can't help but back the better pitcher, better lineup and better bullpen at around a pick.

The pick: LA Dodgers -125

4-Unit Play. Take #928. Take Over 9.0 Colorado Rockies vs. Minnesota Twins (Wedneday @ 8:10pm est)

The Rockies lost yesterday 3-9 as they were outhit 6-14. This is a good thing for us because we will ride the Over today as we will count on them to put up some runs against Baker. Baker has given up nine runs over his last 12 innings or so on about 14 hits. The last three ballgames for Scott have gone over the posted total and I expect him to struggle against a quality Rockies lineup that is looking to breakout today. Remember, Colorado had come off a series in which they swept the Bluejays by putting up 16 runs in those three games. So, the Rockies do have some bats and they will likley take advantage of the opportunities presented to them by Baker today. In that same token, Chacin has lost his last three efforts but the Rockies management understands that they need him to pitch well for a good run in the postseason. Note Chacin comes off giving up four runs to the Astros and now he faces a very capable Twins lineup who is able to put up a bounty of runs at any point. I think both pitchers have a difficult time with these lineups today and I look for this game to likely go over the posted total. The Over is 19-7-1 in Baker's last 27 starts against a team with a winning record, 5-2-2 when the total is set at this range at home and the Over is 6-1 in Umpre Cuzzi's last seven ballgames behind the plate

2 Unit Play. #902 Take Cincinnati +100 over Los Angeles Dodgers (7:10 p.m., Wednesday June. 16)

Great pitching matchup Wednesday night and tonight we look for the Reds to come back after a 12-0 butt kicking against these Dodgers. The Reds are 14-4 at home against a left-handed starter.

3 Unit Play. #908 Take Los Angeles Angels -1 ½ +130 over Milwaukee (7:05 p.m., Wednesday June. 16)

The Angels have lost 2 straight against Milwaukee and the Brew Crew have outscored the Halos 19-3. LA Angels starter Joel Pineiro is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.50 in his last couple starts son tonight the Angels get their revenge and avoid getting swept at home. The Angels are 5-1 following a SU loss so hopefully this trend cashes for us tonight.
