100 Dime TEXAS RANGERS -1 1/2 RUNS with Lee over the Orioles with Tillman.
You must specify both scheduled starters in this contest for their respective teams. Any type of pitching change would make this play null and void. As I release this selection at 9 AM Eastern, the Rangers are listed at -160 on the run line. Now I know that is a tad high - and truth be told it might even inch up higher - but considering the bankroll I've accumulated this year plus my record with 100 dime releases, I'm in the position to absorb a little more risk, as you should be as well if you've followed these 100 dime releases religiously.
50 DIME only the 5th ever in my career - on the Houston Astros and Myers over St. Louis and Suppan.
Both scheduled starting pitchers must go for their respective teams or else this play would be scratched. As I release this selection at 8:45 Eastern this morning, the Astros are -120 in Las Vegas and offshore.
Matchup: St Louis at Houston
Time: 7:05 PM EDT (Sat)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) SUPPAN, J vs. (R) MYERS, B
Play: Houston (ML -110)
The Astros aren't much of a team, but this is one spot where Houston should send the fans home happy with a nice win. Brett Myers has been lights out for the 'Stros at home, compiling a 4-0 slate with a nifty 2.68 ERA. He rates a big edge over shopworn Jeff Suppan as the Redbirds continue to have a real problem at the very back of their rotation. Another factor here is that Suppan figures to go six innings tops even if he's on, and the Cardinals bullpen has been way off form lately. As shaky as Houston may be, they've actually been very good in divisional play with an 18-13 record and this is one they should win.
Matchup: Florida at Arizona
Time: 8:10 PM EDT (Sat)
Listed pitchers must go: (L) ROBERTSON, N vs. (R) KENNEDY, I
Play: Florida (ML +130)
There's not much of a case to be made for Nate Robertson, as the mediocre lefty is performing mostly at his usual level for the Marlins. But that might well be good enough to get Robertson a win tonight. He's facing Ian Kennedy, who has hit the wall in a big way recently and has still managed to record only one win all season at home for the Diamondbacks. But the real key to making this play is the team form charts. The Snakes are absolutely horrendous against lefties, winning just five times in 18 tries, clearly the worst winning percentage in all of baseball against southpaws. Also, they're a terrible team and the managerial change to Kirk Gibson hasn't changed a thing. Arizona has won just twice since Gibson took over. This is simply a case of a bad team with the slightly better hurler getting overadjusted to the point where there's now loads of value in the superior team as a dog. I'll grab the price and back the Marlins.
