25-5 MLB ROADKILL WINNER (18-8 RUN)!


At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Tampa Bay Rays. It's quite possible that the Major League wins leader will not be going to the All Star game. Right now, CC Sabathia is tied with Jair Jurrjens of the Braves at 12 wins, but if he can beat the Rays today, he will be the undisputed leader and he was not chosen for the roster for next Tuesday's game. Sabathia has already had one start since not being named to the team, and he took out his frustration over being snubbed on his former team, the Cleveland Indians, by throwing seven innings of five-hit, shutout ball against them with 11 strikeouts and only two walks as the Yanks went on to an easy 9-2 victory. It was the second straight game that Sabathia has dominated a former team as in the start before that one he shut out the Brewers over 7 2/3 innings with very similar strikeout-to-walk numbers (13:2). To say that the big lefthander is firing on all cylinders right now would be stating the obvious and it couldn't come at a better time for the Yanks, who are locked in battle once again with the Red Sox in what should be one of the best pennant races of the second half. The Rays will have an All-Star starting for them in righthander James Shields but Tampa is 4-12 in Shields' last 16 starts against the Yanks. And Joe Girardi's men are a super 25-5 in day games this season. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

BASEBALL TOTAL OF THE MONTH!



At 1:35 pm, our selection is on the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox 'under' the total. The two starters in this game which closes out the first half of the season for both teams have a combined one Major League start and 18 Major League innings among them. Baltimore righthander Mitch Atkins has one start with the Orioles (seven previous relief appearances with the Cubs) and that first Major League start was a good one too, as Atkins threw six innings last Tuesday, allowing just one earned run on four hits against the Rangers. Meanwhile, righthander Kyle Weiland of the Red Sox will be making his MLB debut this afternoon, and Weiland is a guy who was chosen in the third round of the 2008 MLB draft by the Red Sox and has worked his way up through all of the Minor League levels to get to this point and he's had some pretty good results going 8-6 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 17 starts this season at AAA Pawtucket. Baltimore has been having trouble scoring runs lately, having plated more than four runs on just two occasions in their last nine games and we're working with an inflated total of 10.5 runs due to the pitchers' inexperience. Take the 'under.' As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

RED-HOT 45-19 MLB HIGH ROLLER WINNER!


At 3:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Angels over the Seattle Mariners. Here's a question for you: Which one of these starters earned a spot in the 2011 All-Star game - the one that is 8-7 with a 3.22 ERA or the one that is 9-5 with a 2.65 ERA? If you guessed the second one, then you're wrong. The first set of numbers are for Seattle's Felix Hernandez, while the second set is for the Angels' Dan Haren, and Haren will either be watching from a couch or out on the golf course next Tuesday while Hernandez is in Arizona participating in the festivities. So do you think Haren has a little extra incentive this afternoon when he goes to mound at home to face the Mariners and King Felix? Of course the fact that Hernandez will be starting this game means that he will be ineligible to pitch in the All Star game anyway. Both starters have pitched well lately, but Haren has one up on Hernandez as he is 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA in his last three vs. King Felix's 1-1 and 2.66. The Angels are 45-19 in the last 64 meetings. Take L.A. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
