Italy -1.5

Although Italy has only scored four goals in their last six matches, they will be able to give their offensive stats a couple of boosts against New Zealand today. Italy is the defending champion and losing or tying today could jeopardize their advancement out of the first round. We saw what Italy is capable of when they were in panic mode and scored to force a tie during stoppage time, so they are definitely a team that plays best when their backs against the wall. Look for them to come out swinging today. Take Italy in a lopsided win.


Ivory Coast/Brazil over 2.5

Look for Brazil to open a big first half differential and then Ivory Coast to play desperately and sloppy. Brazil should see be able to capitalize on IC's mistakes and get plenty of opportunities to run away with the group. They may win this game and hit the over themselves without any assistance from IC. Take Brazil -1.5 and the Over.


Philadelphia Phillies -1.5

After a demoralizing loss last night in the 9th inning, the Phillies will collectively outplay the Twins this afternoon. All of the bats are starting to operate and they have their best pitcher on the mound. This should be an extremely easy win for the Phillies as they go against a mediocre-at-best Carl Pavano (7-6, 3.92 ERA), so let's take advantage of the runline and go with the Phils -1.5.

Cincinnati Reds @ Seattle Mariners
PICK: Cincinnati Reds

I believe that Cincinnati will finally come alive at the plate and do just enough in this game to avoid the series sweep in Seattle:

Aaron Harang gets the nod for the visitors; Harang is coming off his worst outing of the season; he'd given up just five earned runs over his previous three starts before allowing five on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings vs. the Dodgers on Tuesday night.

I believe the big right-hander will bounce back tonight though; Harang has made two career starts at Safeco and is 1-0 without allowing a run over 14 1/3 innings with 13 total K's.

Remember as well that Cincinnati has reserved its "best play" for struggling teams this season; 22-12 (+8 units) against clubs with losing records.

In the other dugout: The beleaguered Ryan Rowland-Smith heads to the mound for the home side; the large lefty has lost his last two starts and is a dismal 0-6 on the season.

Although the M's have been better at the plate of late, Rowland-Smith hasn't been the beneficiary of any of that offensive production.

Although its struggled in almost every single ATS statistical category this year, this is in fact a position that Seattle has done very poorly in all season; it's 6-16 (-12.2 units) in "day games".

Bottom line: “The last couple of days, we’ve faced two of the American League’s best in King Felix and (Lee) yesterday (in a 1-0 loss),” Reds manager Dusty Baker lamented after yesterday's 5-1 loss to Hernandez. “We just have to come back tomorrow.”

Harang has a 1.32 ERA in four career starts vs. Seattle.

You may want to take a second look at CINCINNATI in this position as it looks to take advantage of the M's worst starter.

triple-dime bet 930 NYY (-135) Bodog vs 929 NYM
Analysis:
Play on NY Yankees at 1:05 EST – the Yankees snapped the Mets eight game winning streak last night with a 5-3 win. Great pitching matchup this afternoon when Santana takes on Sabathia. These two lefties hooked up back on 5/23. Pitching in front of his home crowd Santana got the best of Sabathia beating the Yankees 6-4. Santana went 7 2/3 strong innings allowing only six hits and one run. Sabathia was beat up by the Mets allowing 10 hits and five earned runs in only five innings of work. However, this game today is in Yankee Stadium. This will be the first time that the Mets face C.C. here. Meanwhile, Santana pitched on the road against the Yankees last year and it wasn’t pretty as he was roughed up for 9 hits and 9 runs in only three innings of work. June hasn’t been a good month for Santana as the Mets lefty has a 4-11 team start record in June. Sunday is the Yankees day. The Bronx Bombers are an incredible 27-4 at home on Sunday over the last three seasons. Sabathia gets revenge today at home and pitches the Yankees to a win. Good Luck. Play on NY Yankees.

dime bet 921 OAK (-105) Bodog vs 922 STL
Analysis: I fully understand what the St. Louis Cardinals are doing, I really do. In terms of bringing Jeff Suppan over from Milwaukee, it's obviously very risky, but this organization has the reputation of being masterful when it comes to turning mediocre pitchers into stars. My issue is, Jeff Suppan's struggles aren't stemmed from mechanical flaws. They're stemmed from old age, and an inherent lack of velocity and movement. No offense to the Cardinals front office, but all of their success stories have been sent to them in their 20's. Suppan is past his prime, and in my estimation, he's past the point where Dave Duncan or anyone else can help him get back into the form he once held.

I do not trust Suppan, not one bit. And I'm fully aware that the Cardinals are going for a sweep on Sunday, but the A's have Cahill on the mound, and he's been their rock over the last month and a half. Not to mention, this is going to sound funny, but the Cardinals have NOT SWEPT A THREE GAME SERIES ALL YEAR. A team that is 23-11 at home, has not won three straight against the same team. Unbelievable!

Cahill is coming off a minor set back in Chicago his last start, but he was still able to get the Win. I truly think that anytime a hot pitcher is able to regress a bit, yet still get a win, it really works to sustain that momentum. I definitely think he'll be in top form this afternoon, although, as I said I really don't think he'll HAVE to be for the A's to beat Jeff Suppan.

I give the starting pitching edge to the A's. And in terms of the bullpen, I find them to be evenly matched, but with Suppan's i€nability to go deep into games, you're asking the Cardinals pen to be solid for 4 or 5 innings. That's a lot to ask, too much to ask in my opinion. So my edge is to the A's in that regard as well. And in terms of momentum, and lineup play, the Cardinals haven't proven they can sweep a team... Simple as that. Until they do, this remains a safe play due to our pitching advantage.

Take the A's for 1.5 units!

triple-dime bet 908 FLA (-130) Sportbet vs 907 TAM
Analysis: Play On: Florida w/Johnson vs Price (Game 908)
Note: When the Marlins close out their three game series with state rival Tampa Bay they will send ace right-hander Josh Johnson to the hill against David Price and the Rays at Sun Life Stadium in Miami this afternoon. Johnson takes the mound knowing he is 5-2 in his last seven team starts with an eye-opening 0.55 ERA. He's also 4-1 in his last five home team starts in June and 2-0 in his career team starts in this series. With Price in off an inside out win in his last start when he allowed eight hits while surrendering three walks in five innings of work in a 10-4 win over the Braves at Atlanta on Tuesday, look for Johnson to continue his winning ways here today. We recommend a 4-unit play on Florida.

Re: 6-20-10

Players MLB Late Sunday *8* OVER in Boston on 20 June
Scott Rickenbach’s MLB 8* (Regular Play) OVER in Boston vs Dodgers @ 8:05 ET: Buchholz vs Kuroda – RATING SYSTEM: Plays range from 6* on up to 10* so this includes 7* and 8* picks as well. 6*, 7*, 8*: most common play ratings with a 9* being a Top Play! 10* plays are a step above a 9* Top Play. The *10* is Scott's highest rated selection!

The Red Sox start Clay Buchholz tonight and he’s got a 9-4 record and a 2.67 ERA on the season. The Dodgers start Hiroki Kuroda and he’s got a 6-4 record and a 3.10 ERA on the season. As a result, many are likely surprised to see that the posted total on this game is 9.5 runs. However, don’t be fooled. On a warm evening in Boston with favorable weather conditions for an over, we would not be surprised to see both lineups hammering the ball this evening. Yesterday’s game stayed under the total but it was the 8th time in 9 games that Boston reached double digits in hits. In fact, during this 9-game stretch the Red Sox have averaged nearly 12 hits per game! In their last 10 games, Boston’s pitchers have allowed nearly 9 hits per game and their bullpen has not been the strength it’s been in recent seasons. The Red Sox bullpen ranks 19th in the majors while the Dodgers bullpen ranks 12th based on team ERA. Before yesterday’s under, the Dodgers had seen 9 of their last 13 games go over the total. The Dodgers are 10-5 to the over this season when the posted total is 9 or 9.5 runs. The Red Sox are 6-3 to the over this season as a home favorite of -150 to -175. At home, with a posted total of 9 or 9.5 runs, the Red Sox have gone 14-10 to the over this season. The Dodgers have allowed an average of 10.5 hits per game in their last 8 games. Now, more on those starting pitchers. Though Kuroda shows solid full-season numbers, note that his last two starts were preceded by an unimpressive stretch. From early May through early June, Kuroda made six starts where he allowed 25 runs (20 earned) on 45 hits in 34.2 innings of work. We simply are not “sold” on Kuroda…especially in terms of shutting down one of the best offenses in baseball.

The Red Sox, even without JD Drew, have a very potent lineup that is known for huge performances at the plate at Fenway Park. The issue tonight for Boston, surprising to some, is that Buchholz may indeed struggle in this match-up. Yes, his full-season numbers are great but Buchholz has walked four batters or more in four of his last eight starts and the Dodgers lineup ranks 2nd in the National League for team batting average on the road. Also, Buchholz did allow 7 hits to the Diamondbacks in his most recent start and he only completed 5.2 innings in that outing. In fact, the Red Sox right-hander has allowed 39 hits in his last 38 innings at Fenway Park. It’s not like this guy is unhittable here. Additionally, in his last 44 innings on the mound in Boston, 22 runs have crossed the plate. Not all of those have been earned runs but you can see the point. This is a hitter-friendly park, it’s a hitter-friendly night in terms of the weather, and we’ve got two solid lineups squaring off. The Red Sox are hitting .278 against right-handed pitchers this season (ranks 3rd in the American League). The Dodgers are hitting .274 against right-handed pitching this season (ranks 2nd in the National League). There will be a lot more offense than many are expecting on this warm evening at Fenway Park. Play OVER the total in Boston as an *8* Regular Play selection.




Players MLB *10* Sunday OVER in Seattle on 20 June
Scott Rickenbach’s MLB 10* (TOP PLAY) OVER in Seattle vs Cincinnati @ 4:10 ET: Rowland-Smith vs Harang – RATING SYSTEM: Plays range from 6* on up to 10* so this includes 7* and 8* picks as well. 6*, 7*, 8*: most common play ratings with a 9* being a Top Play! 10* plays are a step above a 9* Top Play. The *10* is Scott's highest rated selection!

The Reds have struggled to score runs so far in this series but they’ve faced two very tough pitchers, Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez. Now, on Sunday, Cincinnati finally catches a break. The Reds will be facing Ryan Rowland-Smith of the Mariners. The southpaw is 0-6 this season with a 6.63 ERA and a .332 BAA. He has as many walks as strikeouts this season and Rowland-Smith comes into this outing having allowed 11 runs (7 earned) on 18 hits in his last 9.2 inning on the mound. The Mariners left-hander is facing a Reds team that is tops in the National League for team batting average and slugging percentage. Yes, they’ve been held quiet so far in this series but they’ve faced Seattle’s top southpaw and top right-hander and today should prove to be a major reprieve for the Reds sticks. Look for them to come back to life against Rowland-Smith. The under yesterday was just the 5th for Cincinnati in their last 13 games. As for Seattle, they are 11-8 to the over in day games this season and the Mariners are 28-18 to the over the last three seasons when they are a home dog of +100 to +125. The Reds are 20-11 to the over this season when the posted total on their game is an 8 or 8.5 runs. With Aaron Harang on the mound, we look for the Reds to end up adding another winner to the over column in that year to date record.

Cincinnati’s Harang got rocked for five earned runs in 4.1 innings in his most recent start and that was at home! Note that, on the road this season, the Reds right-hander has recorded just 1 win in his five starts while compiling a 6.58 ERA and getting crushed at a .363 clip! We are well aware of the fact that Harang has good numbers against the Mariners in his career but he’s struggled this season. As for Seattle’s recent stretch of unders – four straight – note that it was preceded by a stretch where the Mariners only had one under in ten games! Part of this is due to poor bullpen work and that is likely to be an issue again for each of these teams as they send two struggling hurlers to the mound this afternoon. Note that Cincinnati and Seattle have bullpen ERA’s that rank them 24th and 25th, respectively, out of the 30 MLB teams. The point is that both bullpens have been a weakness for these teams this season! Couple that with the fact that both starters are likely to struggle in this afternoon affair and you have the makings of a match-up that is likely to easily get into double digits in runs scored. Play OVER the total in Seattle as a *10* Top Play selection.




Players MLB *8* Early Sunday OVER in New York on 20 June
Scott Rickenbach’s MLB 8* (Regular Play) OVER in Yankees vs Mets @ 1:05 ET: Sabathia vs Santana – RATING SYSTEM: Plays range from 6* on up to 10* so this includes 7* and 8* picks as well. 6*, 7*, 8*: most common play ratings with a 9* being a Top Play! 10* plays are a step above a 9* Top Play. The *10* is Scott's highest rated selection!

We lost with this play yesterday and we won’t hesitate to come right back with it today. Saturday’s total was an 8.5 and the game was 5-3 through 4 innings and looking great. Inexplicably, those holding over tickets (like us) ended up holding a losing ticket! In the top of the 6th the Mets had 1st and 2nd and just one out but then grounded into an inning-ending double play. In the bottom of the 6th the Yankees had 1st and 2nd and just one out but failed to score. In the top of the 8th the Mets stranded a man in scoring position while, in the bottom of the 8th the unthinkable happened. The Yankees had 2nd and 3rd and NO outs and yet didn’t score. Yes indeed, it was just one of those games that is so frustrating to deal with. There is a lot of pop in both of these lineups, even if Derek Jeter sits out again today, and that is why we won’t hesitate to come right back with this play. The Mets have been on a long-term red-hot run, Yankee Stadium is a hitter-friendly park, the Yanks hit the ball very well at home, and we’re getting a very low total to work with here on a very warm afternoon in the Bronx. Of course the reason for the low total here is the pitching match-up but we feel there is absolute justification for expecting each of these hurlers to struggle in this spot.

Johan Santana of the Mets has allowed four earned runs in each of his last two starts. Also, in the span of his last three starts, the southpaw has walked 11 while striking out just 5 batters. That is certainly not vintage Santana and note that the southpaw was absolutely crushed in his only career start in the new Yankee Stadium. His counterpart today is CC Sabathia and he got absolutely crushed earlier this season when he faced the Mets. By the way, this is another edge in today’s match-up: these lineups have already faced these pitchers this season and that takes away the normal edge of a lack of familiarity for hitters with the pitchers in an interleague match-up. As for Sabathia, he not only struggled against the Mets earlier this season, he’s allowed 28 earned runs on 51 hits and 14 walks in his last 49.2 innings of work. That equates to a 5.07 ERA over his last eight starts. As you can see, he’s certainly not been dominant and he’s facing a Mets team that has averaged 5.5 runs per game in going 8-1 in their last 9 games. Also, the Mets are 8-2 to the over on Sundays this season and 33-18 to the over the last three seasons when they are on the road and the total is an 8 or 8.5 runs! Note that the Yankees are 7-3 to the over on Sundays this season. The Yanks have averaged 5.3 runs per game in their last 11 games and are the top hitting team in the league in home games! Play OVER the total in New York as an *8* Regular Play selection.
