* Toronto's Brad Morrow owns a 6.44 ERA & 1.67 WHIP in 11 road starts this season.
* Morrow is coming off a complete game 1-hit shutout with 17 K's, so many bettors will line up to back him tonight at about even money.
* Oakland's Dallas Braden owns a 3.39 ERA & 1.16 WHIP in 12 home starts this season.
* Toronto is batting .223 and scoring just 3.3 runs per game against lefties on the road this season.
* Oakland is batting .257 and scoring 4.6 runs per game against righties at home this season.
* Oakland's pen at home (2.80 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, .212 BAA) owns the edge over Toronto's pen on the road (3.54 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, .241 BAA).
* Toronto is 2-6 in Morrow's last 8 road starts.
* The Athletics are 8-2 in their last 10 home games vs. a right-handed starter.
Going with the Pads tonight after a big win last night as the Cubbies back down to earth after beating the Cards in a weekend series. Randy Wells has been lit up like a neon sign the past 3 outings with over an 8 ERA for the Cubby Bears, and I like Jon Garland on the hill for the Pads, in good form with a 2.47 ERA his last 3 outings and is backed by a better bullpen and a stronger hitting rotation not to mention a better closer. Padres hot winning 7 out of their last 8 games, and the Cubs are in usual form, winning just 5 out of their last 21 games. Even on the road this is a very cheap line. Play 1 Unit on the Padres.
Play a half unit BONUS play on BOSTON -135 at home against the Angels who have managed just 5 wins in their last 20 road games.
10 UNITS Baltimore Orioles -125 v. Seattle Mariners 7 PM
15 UNITS Minnesota Twins -120 v. Chicago White Sox 8 PM
25 UNITS NY Mets -160 v. Houston Astros 8 PM
Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays
Play: Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays host the Texas Rangers tonight at 7:10 EST in the second game of the series. Tonight’s Tip is all about the pitching matchup! Tampa Bay got the 6-4 Win last night and plan on doing the same in tonight’s game! Hunter is starting for the Texas Rangers and has been pitching awful. He has an extremely high 8.76 ERA and 2.028 WHIP in his last three starts. On the other side of the pitching matchup, Garza is on the mound for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has been having a decent season. He has had three straight team start losses so Garza is due for a good performance! He has a 3.05 ERA and an amazing 0.968 WHIP in his last three starts. Play on Tampa Bay!
Chicago Sky vs. Atlanta Dream
Play: Chicago Sky +8.5
When the games become important, as this one does to Atlanta, you can always expect the line to be juiced as this one is as well. The Dream played Chicago twice at home this year with the largest line being -7, so this one has been padded for sure. The Dream have really limped down the stretch, losing four of their last five. They are also just 6-9 in their last 15. Chicago was just whacked at home by this Dream team, so they may have some fire to put the lights out on the Dream's playoffs hopes, playing loose and free. I like Chicago in this one
