double-dime bet 961 NYY (+110) Sportbet vs 962 TOR
Analysis: Nova had a 2.86ERA in Triple-A and though he's making his first start, the NYY brass is very high on him. By all indications, the right-hander has the capacity to own right-handed hitters. Right-handed batters make up the majority of the Jays lineup. Nova's devastating slider is the key to his game and he sounds very confident heading in to face the homer-happy Jays. "I watch a lot of games. I've got an idea of what I'm goˆing to do. They're good hitters but let's wait until tomorrow." Morrow didn't look good in his first start after his 1-hit complete game shutout, giving up 2ER on 4H in 4IP v Oak. "I just didn't feel sharp," he said. He has a 3.29FIP (16th best in MLB) and 3.80xFIP w an "unlucky" .338BABIP. However, he has given up 10ER on 16H in 11.1IP in his last 2 outings v NYY and has a career 4.72ERA v NYY. The Yanks are averaging 7.5 R/G over their last 6G and are 12-0 w ARod out of the lineup this season. I think it goes to 13-0 after this one as I believe Nova's swagger prevails over Morrow, who will continue to feel the after-effects of that 137-pitch masterpiece two starts ago.

triple-dime bet 963 KAN / 964 DET Over 9.5 Sportbet
Analysis: MLB: KC Royals at Detroit Tigers - Over 9.5 (Chen/Bonderman)(Best Bet) -115 | Unit Value: 3
Game Date: 8/23/2010
Note: I am going to make this writeup very short and to the point and generalistic as well with little stats. I could probably get a 4th grader to tell you why this is a High Percentage Play. First, the weather pattern tonight is going to be better than average. Second, both teams have their hitting shoes on of late. Third, not only are these two starters not having terrific years, both not not performing well right now. You can go check that out for yourself. In addition the Tigers Pen has not been very good at all of late and the KC Pen has not been good this year although they are showing signs of improving. Trenders will be happy to know that Bonderman has been OVER the last 8 of 9 times he has been the first Tiger to touch the mound and most of those games have gone WAY Over. There is a lot more that I could say about this play but why? I have better things to do and This No-Brainer allows me to use my brain elsewhere. High number of 9.5 but it could be obtained early in the game IMO...This number is going to go up so get it now..

double-dime bet 432 TEN -4.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 431 ARI
Analysis: Tennesse Titans - 4 game @ 8
We note that our 67% side run continues tonight with the Tenn Titans who want this MNF battle tonight bad and the Vegas odds makers have this line @ -4 for reason. Defense wins ball games and the fact coach J Fischer wants to erase a poor start last season, 0-6 right out of the gate, the Niners -2.5 got the job done last night and the boys from Nashville Tennessee will pound the poor Zona D. Look for Titan's Rb's Javon Ringer and L. Blount to get playing time and just wear down a out of sinc Arizona Crew. The JR O Power ratings have this game capped at - 8 , that's a full 4 points off the Vegas line. The Kurt Warner show is over and Leinart has not moved the O so far. This baby gets "Ugly"
Titans by 10

Scott Rickenbach’s MLB 10* (Top Play) OVER in Detroit vs Kansas City @ 7:05 ET: Bonderman vs Chen – RATING SYSTEM: Plays range from 6* on up to 10* so this includes 7* and 8* picks as well. 6*, 7*, 8*: most common play ratings with a 9* being a Top Play! 10* plays are a step above a 9* Top Play. The *10* is Scott's highest rated selection!


The Tigers Jeremy Bonderman has lost his last three starts and he’s compiled a 9.39 ERA in the process. Since June 1st, the Detroit right-hander has allowed 18 homers in 14 starts. Even though the Royals are one of the weaker home run hitting teams in the league, they should be able to make plenty of contact at the very least as they take advantage of a struggling Bonderman. The Royals tattooed Bonderman for 7 runs on 11 hits (including one homer) in 5.2 innings the only time they faced him this season. Detroit has lost four of their last six meeting with Kansas City and they gave up at least seven earned runs in each of those defeats. All is not good news for the Royals here though. That’s because their own starting pitcher is also likely to get hammered here. Making matters even worse for Kansas City is that, after Bruce Chen exits this game, the Royals will turn the game over to a bullpen that has received too much extra work recently as Kansas City has played three games the last two days. Not only that, all three games went into extra innings.

The Royals won Chen’s most recent start but it certainly wasn’t courtesy of his success on the mound. The Kansas City southpaw allowed four runs on 11 hits in just 5.2 innings of work. The Royals have lost five of Chen’s last eight starts. Also, other than a 7-inning 3-hitter against the punchless Mariners, Chen has been getting pounded the last two months. His other seven starts have seen the southpaw give up 28 runs (27 earned) on 61 hits in just 36 innings of work. As you can see, Chen has been very hittable of late and he now faces a Tigers team that has recently enjoyed a 6-3 surge. Additionally, Detroit has averaged 6 runs per game in their last 8 games. Royals pitchers have allowed at least 10 hits in 8 of their last 10 games. Even though they won 3-2 yesterday, Kansas City again allowed double digits in hits. The good news for Royals fans is that their sticks are at least picking up the pace again. Kansas City has averaged 5.4 runs per game in their last five games. Also, the Royals have averaged nearly 10 hits per game in their last six games.

The Tigers are 8-5 to the over on Mondays this season and 26-18 to the over in Monday games the last three seasons. Detroit is also 21-13 to the over when facing a left-handed starter this season. As for the Royals, they are 29-13 to the over in divisional games this season. The Royals are also 36-26 to the over when the total is 9 or 9.5 runs. As a road dog of +125 to +150, Kansas City is 10-6 to the over this season. The Royals are a perfect 5-0 to the over this season when Chen is making the start against an AL Central opponent! The Tigers are 8-1 to the over in Bonderman’s last 9 starts! The Tigers are 6-2 to the over when Bonderman is making the start and is opposed by a left-handed starter. Tons of support for the over here…and that includes two lineups that are both swinging hot sticks! Play OVER the total in Detroit as a *10* Top Play selection.







Scott Rickenbach’s NFLX 8* (Regular Play) Arizona Cardinals (+) @ Tennessee @ 8:05 ET – RATING SYSTEM: Plays range from 6* on up to 10* so this includes 7* and 8* picks as well. 6*, 7*, 8*: most common play ratings with a 9* being a Top Play! 10* plays are a step above a 9* Top Play. The *10* is Scott's highest rated selection!


The Cardinals rallied for a 19 point fourth quarter against the Texans in week one and they got the home win over Houston. They’ve had great intensity in cap, this team is hungry, and they’ve gotten strong production from their 2nd and 3rd stringers. That is a key in preseason capping and we like what we’re seeing from this Arizona team. With that said, we also like the line value we’re seeing here with this one as the injuries to Cardinals receivers seem to be getting a lot of attention. Keep in mind, guys like Larry Fitzgerald and Early Doucet wouldn’t normally play much in a game like this anyway and yet the line is still on the rise and has already reached +4 for Arizona backers! The Cardinals still have Steve Breaston and Onrea Jones at WR and we really like what we’re seeing from Stephen Williams as he is absolutely making a case for the #4 spot on this team despite being an undrafted rookie. The Cardinals completed 24 of their 35 passes against Houston and we look for another big effort here against a Titans defense that was picked apart by Seahawks QB Whitehurst last week. Also, the Tennessee rushing attack had two big gainers that netted 63 yards but they gained just 34 yards on their 21 other rushing attempts!

The Titans did rally last week against Seattle as they scored 11 fourth quarter points. That got them the cover but not the outright win and the other concern here for Tennessee fans is that they were outscored 20-0 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters alone. The Seahawks seemed to “let up” some after getting the big lead. Again, in preseason it comes down to the back-ups and the 7-0 Titans lead after one quarter is a good sign for the starters but their back-ups really struggled and we look for more of the same here. Note that in the Titans last 10 preseason games, they have only recorded three wins by a margin greater than three points! As for the Cardinals, they had a rough preseason last year and they lost all four games. Ken Whisenhunt didn’t want to repeat that this year and, as noted above, we’ve seen a lot of intensity from this Cardinals training camp. Also, by rallying from being down 16-0 last week, the Cards showed that – preseason or not – this team is not going to quit. The line value is with the road team here as a pair of WR injuries for the Cardinals are getting way too much attention considering that this is a preseason game and it’s the back-ups that most often key the ATS outcome. Play Arizona plus the points as an *8* Regular Play selection.
