Sunday’s Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

Brandon Morrow (5-6, 4.50 ERA), Toronto Blue Jays

The former Mariners castaway has found his big-league groove. Morrow, who’s always had great stuff but poor control, has walked just 12 batters in his last six starts compared to 35 strikeouts.

The hard-throwing righty credits Jose Molina for his turnaround. Molina, the Jays’ backup catcher, became Morrow’s regular partner about a month ago and the difference has been dramatic.

The Jays were only 2-3 in his five starts last month but the under cashed in five of those contests, thanks largely to Morrow’s 1.91 ERA in June.

Cliff Lee (7-3, 2.45 ERA), Seattle Mariners

It seems like Lee’s days are numbered in Seattle, so Mariners backers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to bet their team any time this southpaw takes the mound.

The former AL Cy Young winner has pitched three straight complete games and the last-place M’s are 8-2 in his last 10 starts.

"[Lee] never beats himself,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters after Lee bested the Bronx Bombers. “He never walks people. He has the ability to strike you out, and he locates extremely well.

“He knows how to change speeds extremely well. He's got a little sink to it, he's got a little cut to it, he's got a curveball, a slider and a changeup. He just knows how to pitch, and his command is very, very good."

Slumping

Mike Leake (5-1, 3.30 ERA), Cincinnati Reds

The magical rookie season for Leake is getting a dose of reality. The 23-year-old righty, who still hasn’t pitched an inning in the minor leagues, produced 10 quality starts in his first 11 outings for the Reds.

Over the last four appearances, however, he’s been tagged for 17 runs in just 22.1 innings.

Nick Blackburn (7-5, 6.02 ERA), Minnesota Twins

The Twins don’t have a stud in their rotation but they definitely have a real dud. Blackburn, who had been a serviceable starter for Minny over the last two seasons, went 1-4 with a 10.17 ERA in the month of June.

"It's the same thing that's been happening to me, just letting some balls up and they hit them," Blackburn told the Associated Press after he got pulled in the fourth inning against the Brewers two starts ago.

"It's getting pretty old, going out there and putting out efforts like that and not giving us even remotely a chance to win. It's pretty frustrating."

Fourth of July Tips
By Brian Edwards

The Fourth of July is here and that means bettors have games galore in Major League Baseball. Let’s take a look at the Braves-Marlins and White Sox-Rangers to get you ready to place bets.

**Marlins at Braves**

Most betting shops have installed Atlanta (48-33, +1108) as a minus-170 favorite with a total of eight ‘under’ (minus-115). Gamblers can take the Braves on the run line (minus 1 ½ runs) for a plus-120 payout (risk $100 to win $120).

Bobby Cox’s club captured a 4-1 win over the Marlins in Saturday’s afternoon affair. Coming off back-to-back ugly performances, Tommy Hanson responded with a strong effort to improve to 8-5 for the season. The right-hander worked 6 2/3 innings and gave up just one unearned run. Hanson fanned eight batters, while Billy Wagner worked a perfect ninth inning for his 17th save. Gregor Blanco’s two-run single provided all the offense the Braves would need.

Florida (37-43, -745) fell 10 ½ games back of the Braves, who lead the National League East by three games over the Mets, who lost 6-5 to the Nats on Saturday.

Tim Hudson (8-3, 2.37) will toe the rubber for the Braves, who are now an MLB-best 30-9 at home this year. The veteran righty from out of Auburn is 8-2 with a 2.99 ERA in 16 career starts against Florida. Hudson is 5-1 with a 1.55 ERA at home this year.

Ricky Nolasco (7-6, 4.84) has struggled against Atlanta, going 3-5 with a 4.57 ERA in 12 lifetime starts. The right-hander is 4-2 with a 4.62 ERA on the road this season.

Florida is 16-19 on the road in 2010.

The ‘under’ is 39-38 overall for the Braves, 19-17 in their home games at Turner Field.

The ‘over’ is 41-35 overall for the Marlins, but they have seen the ‘under’ make a small profit in their road games by going 19-15.

The first pitch is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. Eastern.

**White Sox at Rangers**

Most books are listing Texas (47-32, +1006) as a minus-150 favorite with a total of 10 ½ ‘under’ (minus-120). Bettors can take the Rangers on the run line for a plus-145 return (risk $100 to win $145).

Chicago (41-37, +197) is in third place in the American League Central, two games behind the loop-leading Minnesota Twins. The White Sox went into Saturday’s game with 21-18 road record.

Chicago won Friday’s series opener by a 5-3 count. Alex Rios went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs for the winners. Also, Juan Pierre and Alexei Ramirez had three hits apiece.

Ozzie Guillen will give the ball to Mark Buehrle, who is 6-7 with a 4.58 ERA this year. The lefty is 2-1 with a 3.20 ERA in his last three outings. Buehrle owns an 11-5 record and 3.39 ERA in 16 career starts against the Rangers. However, he is 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA in a pair of starts against Texas this season.

Texas slugger Josh Hamilton is 3-for-9 with a pair of doubles for a .333 career average against Buehrle. Ian Kinsler is 4-for-16 (.250) off the veteran southpaw with one home run.

Scott Feldman (5-7, 5.48) is 2-2 with a 4.96 ERA in eight home assignments this season. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 3.99 ERA in four lifetime starts against the White Sox.

Texas has produced a bunch of profit at home this season, cashing tickets at a 28-13 clip. The Rangers are 14-10 against left-handed pitching.

The ‘over’ is 38-36 overall for the White Sox, 20-19 in their road games.

The ‘under’ is 39-38 overall for the Rangers, but the ‘over’ is 21-19 in their home games.

The first pitch is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. Eastern on channel 665 for those that have the MLB Package on Direct TV.

It isn't too often that we get one of the best pitchers in baseball at home for 1.50 or less. But, that's the case here on Sunday as Adam Wainwright goes for the Cardinals at home with a 11-5 record, 2.34 ERA and nifty 1.03 WHIP. Wainwright has been magnificent at home holding his last five opps to 0,0,3,0 and 2 runs. So why would we be getting Wainwright at home with a good Cardinals team at this price? That's easy, Yovani Gollardo. He's the ace of the Brewers and while the Brewers are eight games back of the Cardinals in the NL Central, he is the best they have. Gallardo is 8-3 with a 2.56 ERA and 1.23 WHIP - pretty good for a mediocre club. Gallardo did allow four earned runs in his last outing, a six inning win at home against the Astros, 7-5. Gallardo is good, but Wainwright is better, especially at home where he is almost unbeatable. I don't mind laying 1.50 with such a good pitcher and team. Take the Cardinals.

LAD +108:The wrong team is favored here or at worst should be even money. Haren goes for ARI but if you have not caught him this year he is nowhere near as good as last year. He has been doing the same thing all year 3-4 runs over 7 innings. On the other hand the LAD go to Billinglsy who is coming off his first start off the DL. He was a little rusty first time back but expect him to be much better today. Don't be surprised if he goes 7 innings of 1 run baseball as his hamstring is back to normal. Hitting also favors the LAD so lets load up on this underdog!

Re: 7-4-10

Golden contender

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

On Sunday the Free MLB Play is on the Cincinnati Reds. Game 907 at 2:20 eastern. The Reds are 7-2 as a road dog in this range and are scoring nearly 6 runs per game over the past week. The Cubs have averaged just 2.3 rpg on .217 hitting the past week. Chicago is just 6-16 off a win this season. The Reds have young right hander Leake on the mound today and he has a solid 1.64 road era. In his last 2 starts vs the Cubs he has allowed 4 runs in 13+ innings. The Cubs counter with T. Lilly. Lilly is just 3-8 vs the Reds. Look for the Reds to rebound here tonight. On Sunday I have a Huge MLB Blowout system that wins by an average 7-2 score. We Cashed the big side play on Saturday and MLB is 20 games over .500 on the year. Jump on this big 4th of July Banger and end your week with the cash. For the free play take the Reds.

Re: 7-4-10

Info Plays Sunday MLB Free Play:

3* on Seattle Mariners -111

Reasons the Mariners win:

1.) System Play. We'll Play Against - Home underdogs with a money line of +100 or higher (DETROIT) - poor power team (<=0.9 HR's/game) against a starting pitcher who gives up 0.5 or less HR's/start, with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.300 to 1.400 on the season-AL. This is a 47-10 ML System hitting 82.5% since 1997. This system is 5-1 this season.

2.) Cliff Lee. The lefty is 7-3 with a 2.45 ERA and 0.920 WHIP this season. The Mariners have won 8 of his 12 starts. Bet Seattle on the road.
