Today's Free Pick: San Francisco Giants vs. Houston Astros Over 6.5 Runs
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the "over": Tim Lincecum heads to the mound for the visitors; Lincecum's last start was cut short as a line drive hit him in the back right shoulder in the sixth inning vs. the Orioles on Wednesday; he allowed two runs on eight hits over that span; he walked four; he's 7-2 on the year with a 3.11 ERA. Lincecum was 5-5 with a 3.21 ERA on the road last season. In the other dugout: Roy Oswalt gets the nod for the home side; the best word to describe Oswalt this year would be "unpredictable". After a couple of very poor outings, he's seemingly got back on track with a couple of strong showings. For his career though, he's 5-7 with a 3.67 ERA vs. the Giants. He's 5-8 with a 3.12 ERA this season.

Bottom line: San Francisco came alive at the plate in its inter-league contest in Toronto on Sunday, hammering the Jays 9-6; Freddy Sanchez had a three-run shot and Pat Burrell a two-run bomb to help the Giants win their first game this season in an AL stadium; I believe this team will carry over some of that offensive production into Houston. Important to note as well that Giants relievers have been brutal so far this year on the road with a collective 5.22 ERA through Sunday; the San Francisco bullpen had allowed runs in 20 of 29 contests. The Astros are coming off a disheartening 5-4 loss in ten innings on Sunday as the Rangers completed a three-game sweep at Minute Maid Park. Because of Sunday's result, Houston made its biggest roster shake-up of the year; top position prospect Jason Castro was called up to be the starting catcher; Chris Johnson will enter the regular mix at third base, and a third call-up, Jason Bourgeois, will see some time in the outfield. Outfielder Cory Sullivan, reliever Casey Daigle and catcher Kevin Cash were all designated for assignment. I believe this move will inspire the Astro's core group to wake up at the plate and take accountability for this teams struggles.When factoring in all of the above information, this total seems a little low, and you may want to consider a second look at the OVER in this situation.

dime bet 912 NYM (+119) Sportbet vs 911 DET
Analysis: Yes this is a profile about this baseball selection but bear with me for a second. I have been betting on the World Cup recently but know nothing about it. However, I have been successful doing it because I have been strictly betting with value. What I mean by that is I have been doing things like taking higher totals under and taking the better team on the moneyline or with the PK selection. Anyway, I think the same theory can be successful in baseball betting and is the best way to be profitable in that sport. The Mets are one of the best home teams in baseball, similar to Detroit, but the Tigers struggle on the road. Situationally this is a bad spot for the Tigers because they are coming off of a successful 8-1 home stand against less than stellar teams in the National League in Arizona, Washington, and Pittsburgh. Therefore they are over confident and have to head out on the road against a strong and surging home team. The Mets are coming off of a road trip, but their last series was against the Yankees, so it’s not like they were traveling anyway. Detroit has their star pitcher Justin Verlander taking the mound, but Mets starter Jonathan Niese has been better lately. Essentially this selection has great value because you’re getting a great home team, with a starting pitcher who has surprisingly been better than his star counterpart recently, as well as an overconfident favored opponent playing on the road. Teams coming off of a great home stand usually don’t fare well in their first game on the road anyway. Look for the Mets to get the home win as an underdog.

triple-dime bet 927 LOS (-125) BetUS vs 928 ANA
Analysis: Play On: L.A. Dodgers w/Kershaw vs Santana (Game 927)
Note: When the Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw to the hill against Ervin Santana and the Angels in Anaheim tonight they will do so knowing they are 6-0 in their last six games in June behind Kershaw. The Dodgers are also 7-1 in Kershaw's last eight team starts, including 4-0 his last four. With Santana 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in his last two starts and 0-2 in his last two starts in this series, look for Kershaw to improve to 2-0 in his his career team starts in this park here tonight. We recommend a 3-unit play on the Dodgers.

dime bet 904 TOR (-105) Sportbet vs 903 STL
Analysis: Jaime Garcia is proving to be one of the best young pitchers in the game however his Cardinal teammates simply have shown a real lack of run support for him that makes me love the price we are getting with the Jays at home tonight at the Rogers Centre where they have been tough all season long. Fact is Gracia has gotten a mere 2 runs or less of support in 5 of his last 6 outings. He draws a tough match up here facing southpaw Bret Cecil, 7-3, 3.58. The Cardinals have lost 5 ouut of 6 inter league games on the road this season and the hitting can just flat out go silent for stretches at a time. The Jays are 13-5 at home since the beginning of may and provide real value here in my view. Under also worth a look but the side carries the most value.

dime bet 927 LOS (-121) Bookmaker.com vs 928 ANA
Analysis: Excellent price here with Kershaw and the Dodgers as they open a freeway series with the cross town Angels. I understand they have dropped four straight but Kershaw and Santana should be a match up favoring the guys in blue tonight.
Ervin Santana got off to a hot start this season but has clearly come back to reality somewhat in his last couple of starts going 0-2, 9.00 getting roughed up pretty good. Kershaw on the other side is fast developing into the kind of stopper every club critically needs as he has gone a stellar 6-1, 1.82 in his last 8 starts for Joe Torre. Last season Kershaw was 1-0, 0.75 in two starts against the Angels.
I realize the Dodgers have struggled in inter league action, thus the small price tonight with Kershaw getting the ball guys. Handicapping baseball obviously is not all about the starting pitchers and that does tend to get overlooked at times but in this case I feel we clearly have a young arm that should go very deep in a mismatch against a vulnerable looking Santana of late.
Dodgers the smart play here guys.

double-dime bet 911 DET (-135) Bodog vs 912 NYM
Analysis: I'm playing on DETROIT. After an extended winning streak, the Mets have lost their last two games. Here, they'll take on a red hot Detroit team and I expect their skid to continue for another day.

Both starters are in great current form. Verlander's season stats are a little better though. He checks in at 8-4 (Tigers are 10-4, +4.6) with a stellar 3.54 ERA and 1.096 WHIP. Niese also has solid numbers - just not as good as Verlander's. He's 4-2 with a 3.64 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. In addition to having a much better WHIP, Verlander has gone deeper in games. He's averaging 6.7 innings per game, while Niese is averaging 5.8. Verlander is arguably also more capable of really dominating hitters. Last time out, he had 11K's and 0 walks, through eight complete innings.

Catcher Gerald Laird had this to say about Verlander: "I've caught some good pitchers, and for starting pitchers, he's got to be right up there at the top. The main thing is that it seems he gets better as the season goes. A lot of guys tend to wear down, but he tends to get stronger and his fastball gets better as he gets into the game."

The Tigers have won eight of their last nine. They're 12-7 (+4.9) vs. southpaw starters on the season. They've hit a respectable 0.278, averaging 4.9 runs in those games. (By comparison, Mets hit .256 against right-handers.) Looking back further and we find the Tigers at 67-49 (+10) against left-handed starters the past 2+ seasons. Note that during that stretch, the Tigers are also an outstanding 32-16 (+14) in Interleague play.

I look for Verlander to get the better of Niese and for the Tigers to continue their red hot roll for another day. *9

double-dime bet 926 OAK (-123) Bodog vs 925 CIN
Analysis: I'm playing on OAKLAND. The A's lost a tough one yesterday but I feel that they've got a strong chance of bouncing right back here.

Braden pitched very well last time out, allowing one run through six complete innings. It should be noted that he left after 83 pitches with stiffness in his elbow. However, he's expected to be just fine here. For the season, he's got a 3.00 ERA and stellar 0.981 WHIP in eight starts here, averaging 6.7 innings in those games. He had 4 K's and 1 walk.

A quick look at the boxscore will show that Arroyo is also coming off a great game, as he allowed just one run in seven innings. However, a closer look reveals that he allowed six walks. He was quoted as saying: "I had the worst stuff I've had in a while. The only thing I had was a sinker. I tried to stay down in the zone and get ground balls. I was fortunate. Those double plays changed the game."

For the season, Arroyo has a poor 5.24 ERA in seven road starts.

The A's, who are 8-2 against the Reds, are still 21-14 at home while the Reds are just 15-16 away from Cincinnati. I expect them to finally give Braden some run support and for him to win his first game since the no-hitter. *9







Ben Burns | MLB RunLine Tue, 06/22/10 - 7:05 PM

double-dime bet 908 BAL 1.5 (-144) Bookmaker.com vs 907 FLA
Analysis: I'm playing on BALTIMORE on the Run-Line, at +1.5 RUNS. The Orioles are having a terrible season. For that reason many don't like, or refuse to, wager on them. That leads to some generous numbers. Often, we can get them at +1.5 runs for a very reasonable price, which is the situation here.

When Guthrie is on the mound, at home, the O's always got a solid shot at earning a victory. He's got a 3.82 ERA and 1.025 WHIP in six home starts. Guthrie has allowed two earned runs or less in three of his last four starts here, averaging better than seven innings in those four games. He's allowed four earned runs or less in four straight home starts and nine of his last 10. Opposing hitters are batting just .231 here at season.

Sanchez has a respectable 3.93 ERA on the road. However, a closer look reveals that he's also got a poor 1.636 WHIP in those games. Opposing hitters are batting .301. against him on the road. In other words, he's been giving up a lot of baserunners on the road and has been a bit fortunate to have a road ERA below four.

Guthrie has 25 K's and seven walks at home. Sanchez's K/W ratio isn't nearly as good. He's got 20 K's and 17 walks on the road. Sanchez has a 1.714 WHIP his last three starts. Guthrie has a 1.181 WHIP his last three starts.

While the O's W/L stats are admittedly pretty bad, keep in mind that the Marlins are just 4-8 their last 12 road games. With Guthrie likely to deliver another solid outing, I feel that grabbing +1.5 runs with home team is the way to go. *7

Stan Sharp | MLB Money Line Tue, 06/22/10 - 10:10 PM

double-dime bet 929 CHC (+100) BetUS vs 930 SEA
Analysis: Stan is Betting CHICAGO CUBS today. Stan notes that even though Seattle has won 4 in a row he is looking to buck them here. Chicago starter Ryan Dempster comes off a strong start in his last game and Stan expects another big effort from him tonight. Seattle has scored 3 runs or less in 10 of their last 12 games. TAKE CHICAGO CUBS as STAN'S BASEBALL WISE GUY GAME.

Matchup: San Francisco at Houston
Time: 8:05 PM EDT (Tue)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) LINCECUM, T vs. (R) OSWALT, R

Play: San Francisco (ML -140)

Whatever worries may have existed about Tim Lincecum's shoulder after getting hit with a batted ball last start are no longer an issue. Lincecum is all systems go, and he's in a great spot tonight against a team he has completely dominated. The Astros will counter with their ace, Roy Oswalt. But Oswalt has never had much success against the Giants, and the 'Stros never seem to score many when Oswalt goes. The Giants are substantial road chalk tonight, but I believe it's totally justified and I will lay the price with Lincecum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matchup: Boston at Colorado
Time: 8:40 PM EDT (Tue)
Listed pitchers must go: (L) LESTER, J vs. (R) CHACIN, J

Play: Boston (ML -140)

The Red Sox are on fire, and I like their chances of staying in that mode as they open a series at Coors against the shorthanded Rockies. Colorado has some troubles right now. Troy Tulowitzki is out with the broken wrist. Carlos Gonzalez is playing but is definitely not 100%. The bullpen is pretty much of a mess right now. Whether or not we'll see a patented second half Rockies run is up for debate. But for the present, this is a terrific Rockies team when Ubaldo Jimenez or surging Jason Hammel pitches. But when they get to the back of the rotation and rookie Jhoulys Chacin, the Rox are not all that good. Boston has awesome southpaw Jon Lester on the hill, and he's in superior form right now. I'm also looking for the Boston hitters, noted for their patient approach, to have several scoring opportunities with Chacin on the mound, as his control has been very shaky. You'll have to lay a pretty good number here, but the Red Sox look like winners to me tonight.
