Seattle Mariners -200

The Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez is back in the form that nearly won him the AL Cy Young last year. Hernandez pitched a two-hitter in his last start, striking out eleven and walking three in his first shutout of the season against the Yankees in New York. Over his last three starts Hernandez is 2-0 with an ERA of only 1.00 and I expect another dominate performance by him here against the Royals. Kansas City send Brian Bannister to the mound for this start and Bannister has been hit hard recently. In his last three starts Bannister is 1-2 with an ERA of 5.79. The Mariners have hit him well in the past and I expect them to do so again in this game. The Mariners are 15-5 in the last twenty meetings between these two teams in Seattle and I expect their winning ways in this series to continue. Play on the Mariners.

G-Man going with the underdog Atlanta Braves this Monday night to come through against the slumping Phillies, and pitcher Roy Halladay.

The Phils have dropped 4 of their last 5 games, and 6 of their last 9 overall, as their offense has really had a hard time getting things going. G-Man expects them to struggle again tonight at the plate, as Atlanta hurler Derek Lowe did hold Philly to just 1 run in 8 innings the last time he made the start against them back on June 2nd.

Roy Halladay just gave up 4 runs in an 8 inning loss to the Reds, and with little support these days from the bats, there is a solid chance Halladay will wind up on the losing end of tonight's decision as well.

Atlanta holds a 5-4 edge in the season series this year, and they have held their own in Philadelphia, going 6-6 dating back to last season at the Bank.

Upset winner on the Braves the call this Monday.
1? ATLANTA

I'm on a 37-18-1 roll the past two months with my complimentary baseball releases following yet another winner on Sunday as the underdog A's delivered against the Indians.

On the Monday card, I've found another road underdog I like, the Los Angeles Angels, who are visiting Chicago.

The Angels have been tremendous on the road winning 12 of their last 15, including five of their past six. They catch a hot White Sox team that is in a letdown spot.

Chicago just took two of three road games from AL West leaders Texas. Now the White Sox are returning home following a six-game road swing. It's usually tough for a team to have its full concentration when playing right away following a road trip.

The pitching matchup is Scott Kazmir versus Gavin Floyd. Kazmir is 5-3 with a 4.73 ERA on the road compared to 2-4, 7.28 ERA at home. Floyd has a 4.66 ERA, but has been pitching better lately. He has a 4.14 ERA in five starts against the Angels.

This is an action play based on getting value with the Angels as an underdog. They are 9-1 the past 10 times they've been cast as a pup. LA has also defeated the White Sox in five of the last six meetings.
5? LA ANGELS (WITH KAZMIR AND FLOYD)

Delivered Sunday's FREE winner for you as the Rays went to Minnesota and took care of the Twins to improve my comp record to 116-103-3. Tonight I have a free winner on the A's as they host the Yankees in Oakland.

Both teams are coming into this one off a long flight as the Yankees were at home Sunday against the Jays and the A’s were in Cleveland taking on the Indians. So there is no advantage there. But I like the way Oakland’s Ben Sheets has fared against the Yankees in his career, so I’m siding with the A’s here tonight.

Sheets is 3-2 with a 3.19 ERA at home and earlier this season he faced these Yankees in Oakland and he gave up just two runs in six innings, but his offense failed to show up and the A’s lost 3-1. Back in 2005, as a starter for the Brewers, Sheets held the Yankees scoreless for seven innings in a 2-1 win.

Sheets has been consistent for the A’s, limiting the opposition to no more than four earned runs in any of his last 10 outings.

On the hill for the Yankees is Javier Vazquez (6-7, 5.11 ERA) who is 0-2 in his last three outings and has a 5.76 ERA on the road. Last time out, Vazquez gave up three runs in six innings of a 7-0 loss to the Mariners. Last time he pitched on the road, Vazquez gave up four runs on six hits in five innings of a 6-5 win in Arizona.

The Yankees are just 2-6 in Vazquez’s last eight starts against A.L. West competition and they are just 1-4 in their last five series openers. Oakland is on runs of 4-1 when Sheets starts at home and 5-0 when they are at home against teams with winning road marks.

Play Oakland to win this one behind the solid pitching of Sheets. Grab the plus-money with the A’s.
3? OAKLAND

I delivered the free winner on Sunday when the Dodgers went on the road and beat the D'Backs in Phoenix. Today, I've got another free winner as I go with the Red Sox on the highway in Tampa, taking on the Rays.

Tampa hasn’t been the best home team this season, for some reason not playing the same type of baseball at home that they do on the road. That’s why this is a solid bet to grab the plus-money with the Red Sox in Tampa tonight.

Daisuke Matsuzaka is on the hill for the Red Sox and he’s been pitching well lately, allowing the opposition three runs or less in six straight outings, including three straight roadies, two of which he’s held the opposition scoreless over eight innings. In Tampa, Matsuzaka has allowed the Rays two runs or less in four of his last five outings there since 2007.

On the other side, Tampa starter Matt Garza has allowed three runs or more in seven straight games and last time he saw the Red Sox in Tampa he was nailed for six runs in five innings of an 11-3 loss.

Tampa is just 2-5 at home and 1-4 in series openers. I’ll go ahead and play the Red Sox and enjoy the plus-money I’m getting with them.

4? BOSTON (on a 1? to 5?)

Tampa Bay starter Matt Garza beat Boston starter Daisuke Matsuzaka in Boston in his last start winning 9-4 Their is nothing to say that it will be any different when they meet in Tampa Bay. Garza is 10-6 in his 16 starts this year. The Red Sox are 3-7 with Matszaka off a loss. Boston is walking into a hornets nest here vs. a Tampa Bay team who has won 4 of their last 5 games. The Red Sox are 1-7 vs. Garza at Tampa Bay. Garza is 10-3 his last 13 starts vs. the Red Sox.

1 Unit on LA Angels +134
The Angels aren't getting the respect they deserve tonight. The Angels have won both previous meetings this season and 5 of the last 6 overall. They have won 5 of their last 6 road games and 9 of their last 10 as a road underdog. In addition, Kazmir has been at his best on the road this season. As a result, the Halos are a perfect 5-0 in his last 5 road starts. They are also 5-0 in his last 5 starts as a road underdog. It must be mentioned that the Sox have really struggled against lefty starters, only hitting .226 against them on the year. While Floyd has been pitching well for the Sox, we can't overlook the fact that they are just 1-4 in his last 5 starts as a home favorite and 2-6 in his last 8 series opening starts. The Angels have been a solid road club all year, and the White Sox are just 1-5 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Take the Halos showing good value tonight.
