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.

Cleveland Indians -105

The Indians blew the game last night and are looking for some revenge tonight. The Mets are not much of a road team and I expect the Tribe to have a good outing behind Talbot who is pitching well this season. Take the Indians.

Pick: Mets -107

The New York Mets will rely on their left hand pitcher Jon Niese to keep their winning going. In his last sixteen innings he has allow only one run on seven base hits. Cleveland’s starter Mitch Talbot has been steady all season with a ERA of 3.59. Play: New York Mets

Analysis:
Narveson & Pineiro MUST START

The Angels have lost the first two games of this series by a combined score of 19-3 and they've managed a total of 11 hits in the process. I expect motivation to be high following those two blowout losses at home and I expect the Angels to avoid the home sweep (haven't gotten swept at home since June 25-27, 2007, versus Kansas City) and get the win tonight.

Joel Pineiro is coming off a complete game win at Dodger Stadium in which he allowed just 1 run and 5 hits against a pretty good Dodgers lineup. In six home starts this season, Pineiro owns a 2.66 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. Contributing to the low WHIP rating is the fact that Pineiro only walks a batter about every four innings of work. That's what I like to see in my starting pitcher.

Chris Narveson is coming off a very solid start against Texas in which he went 7 strong innings and allowed just 2 runs on 6 hits. The problem with that is Narveson hasn't put together back-to-back Quality Starts all season. He owns a 5.19 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the road and a 5.46 ERA & 1.59 WHIP on the season. Narveson walks a batter about every other inning, which should give the Angels some good scoring potential tonight.

While the Angels bullpen has been much maligned, the Brewers pen is even worse when you look at home/road splits. The Angels pen owns a 4.44 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and .250 BAA at home, while the Brewers pen sports a 5.53 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, and .299 BAA on the road.

Bottom line: Pineiro has produced 5 Quality Starts out of 6 home starts this season, while Narveson has produced just ONE Quality Start out of 5 road starts in 2010. Narveson is coming off a Quality Start (at home) and he has not had back-to-back Quality Starts this se„ason. With the Angels coming off consecutive embarrassing home losses and looking to avoid being swept at home, I expect a huge effort from the Halos tonight. Take the Angels/Pineiro over Milwaukee/Narveson.

ASA MLB PICK - Wed, June 16 - Tampa Bay Devil Rays

ASA MLB PICK - 5* Tampa Bay (Davis) +125 over Atlanta (Hanson), Wednesday at 6:05 PM CST



Tommy Hanson is a highly regarded young pitcher for the Braves and he will likely be overvalued in tonight’s match-up against one of the top teams in baseball. Hanson owns a strong 6-3 record and 80 strikeouts in just over 75 innings but after a brilliant April his numbers have normalized a bit and he is also having trouble going deep into games. In his last six starts his ERA is 5.51 and he has been allowing more walks. He has been fortunate to get great run support this season as it has helped to boost his record in games when he has not been that sharp. Hanson has also pitched poorly at home with a season ERA of 5.40.



While the Rays have fallen of the scorching early season pace, this is still one of the best teams in baseball. Tampa Bay enters this game with an amazing 23-8 road record. Tampa Bay has out-scored opponents 6.0 to 3.4 in road games this season, numbers far better in both marks than Atlanta has delivered at home. The Braves have a strong home record but they have faced few winning teams at home so far this season, bloating the numbers with sweeps of Pittsburgh and Houston.



Atlanta’s lineup is banged up and worn out following a very long multi-city road trip and rookie Wade Davis will present an unfamiliar challenge. Davis has average numbers this season for the Rays but he has allowed three or fewer runs in eight of twelve starts this season. One rough outing in Texas really hurt his overall statistics as he has actually pitched quite well in the majority of his road starts. Davis is occasionally prone to allowing home runs but Atlanta is not a strong power hitting team and Turner Field has been a low-scoring park.



In the last ten games the Rays are batting .300 against right-handed pitching and the Rays have scored six or more runs in eight of the last eleven games. Tampa Bay is 11-1 in the last twelve Wednesday games and there will be solid value on the Rays in this road match-up as the Braves are a very public team that currently sports an inflated record. Atlanta should have trouble keeping up in this match-up and Tampa Bay continues to be a play-on team in many situations, as few Ray pitchers have been given due line respect.



While four errors last night in game 1 of this series helped the cause for the Rays, directly leading to three early runs and creating a lot of extra opportunities, Tampa Bay did pound out twelve hits and had six extra-base hits. The Rays went just 4 for 16 with runners in scoring position last night and left ten men on base so in reality the 10-4 margin could have been much worse. Tampa Bay appears to be the class of the American League and once again the AL appears to be the superior league. The Rays have been an impressive road team and a red hot offensive team that should find success in this match-up while catching great value up against Hanson, who has not had his best efforts in recent weeks.

Wednesday's Winner ... 40 DIME seleation on the Houston Astros and Roy Oswalt on the road over the Kansas City Royals. As I release this play, the Astros and Oswalt are a slight favorite of about -115 both here in Las Vegas and offshore. Note that you MUST list Oswalt as Houston’s staerting pitcher. If Oswalt doesn’t go in this contost, this play is VOID!


Astros

Baseball can be a cruel game, and I present Roy Oswalt as living proof. The Astros ace has pitched his ass off this season but has just four wins to show for it in 12 starts. This despite the fact Oswalt has delivered a quality start in 10 of those 12 contests. In those 10 partacular games, Oswalt has a 2.36 ERA, giving up two earned runs or fewer on eight occasions.

Oswalt has been particularly nasty outside of Houston, where he’s 3-1 with a 1.24 ERA in four starts. In those four road games, Oswalt has more strikeouts (31) than combined walks and hits allowed (22) over 29 innings of work! The opponents’ on-base percenetage against Oswalt when he pitches on the road? A pathetic .209.

If Oswalt got any help from his offense early in the season – Houston scored a grand total of 18 runs in his first eight starts – he’d be talked about with Jimenez, Lincecum, Halladay and Josh Johnson as the best pitchers in the National League. But the runs have been coming lately, as the Astros have managed 5, 5, 4 and 5 runs in Oswalt’s last four outings. And in general, Houston’s offense is picking up, scoring 67 runs in the last 14 games (4.8 per game).

Yes, the Astros have lost their last four in a row, but three of those were to the Yankees in New York over the weekend (quite forgivoable), while the fourth was last night’s 15-7 setback in Kansas City. Prior to this four-game slump, though, the Astros had been on an 8-2 roll. And even with Monday’s ugly defeat, the Astros are still 8-2 in their last 10 trips to K.C.

Speaking of the Royals, Oswalt has faced them twice in his career. Here were the pitching lines:

8 innings, 1 run, 7 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts
6 innings, 1 run, 7 hits, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts

Bottom line: To get Oswalt at this cheap of a price against a Royals team that’s nine-games under. 500 on the season, five games under .500 at home and starting mediocre lefty Bruce Chen is just too good to pass up. And keep this one last point in mind, too: Oswalt, who has made public his request to be traded to a contender – is auditioning for several ballclubs, so you know he’s going to bring his A-game tonight!
