BIG AL McMORDIE

INTERLEAGUE OVER/UNDER ANNIHILATOR!

Our Selection:Tigers/Mets 'under' Line: 7.5
Analysis: At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets 'under' the total. Do you think runs could be hard to come by tonight? Two hot starters go at it in the most pitcher-friendly park in the Majors, as Detroit and righthander Justin Verlander will face the Mets and young southpaw Jonathon Niese. Verlander was on his game in his last start, striking out a season-high 11 batters (with no walks) in eight strong innings against the Nats. Niese had a great start to the season with a 3.10 ERA in the month of April but then he struggled mightily in May as he went 0-1 in three starts and saw his ERA rise all the way to 4.79. He's back on track in June, having won all three of his starts for the month while lowering his ERA to 3.64 and he is now 2-1 with a dynamite 2.65 ERA in six starts at Citi Field. This is potentially one of the best match-ups in inter-league play as amazingly both of these teams are 8-2 in their last 10 games, and 9-3 against the opposite league heading into this series. Further, the under is 8-1 in the Mets last nine home games. Take the 'under.

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.

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.

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

Analysis: I'm playing on BALTIMORE on the Run-Line, at +1.5 RUNS.
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

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 those 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 also 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

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 games. 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
