United States DRAW
Will either team score? USA looked awful against England and were lucky to get a cheap goal that resulted in a tie. Both teams have better defenses than offenses and should shut down each other in both halves. Look for a low scoring game, specifically a 0-0 draw.
Algeria/England over 2.5
Both goalkeepers gave up soft goals that cost their teams in the opening games. England played poor against the USA, but should respond today with a few goals against a much weaker defense in Algeria. Look for Algeria to take advantage of an English defense that is banged up and showing many signs of fatigue and injury. Let's cheer for goals today. Take the Over.
Philadelphia Phillies -126
The Phillies got a huge win the other night at Yankee Stadium and seemed to have found their bats again. Look for Philadelphia to get out to an early lead at home behind big Joe Blanton and to never look back. Take the Phillies.

1* White Sox (+170) over Washington
This line is going up so if you wait till near game time you may get +180 or even higher. Yes I am going to fade Strasburg mania here. Washington is kinda free falling here. Their only win in their last 6 games was the Strasburg game. Tonight they face a red hot White sox team with A rejuvenated Gavin Floyd pitching. Floyd has been back on track lately. in 4 out of his last 5 starts he has allowed 2 or less runs. The sox have won 7 out of 8 so let's hope they can ride the wave of momentum to another W here.
1* San Francisco(+120) over Toronto
I am basically fading Toronto against a tough lefty here. Toronto is hitting .195 vs lefties this year. SF hit extremely well during their last home stand so let's see if they can carry it over on the road. With Zito pitching well, this is worth a chance.

2* Royals / Braves Over 9
Over it goes as the Braves/Royals get our call as a 2* J Hawk Winner as the RED HOT and first place Bravos have a 21-7 home record, and have won 11 /12 with a smoking .297 BA, The Braves and Derek Lowe will get banged around by a league leading .280 KC Royals team who has owned righties. The Royals have been hot lately , smashing the ball at a .305 BA also the last 10 days. We will call for the Bravos to get to the Royal's Brian Bannister who is 6-4 over all and a 5.40 ERA who was absolutely toasted by the Reds last game.

Matchup: Minnesota at Philadelphia
Time: 7:05 PM EDT (Fri)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) BLACKBURN, N vs. (R) BLANTON, J
Play: Minnesota (ML +115)
You won't often see me trying to make money on Nick Blackburn pitching away from home. The Twins righty is a lifetime 9-20 on the road, which clearly does not exactly inspire confidence. But he's facing a stone cold Joe Blanton tonight. Blanton is arguably about as awful as it can possibly get right now, and is definite fade material as even moderate chalk. The Philliesw are starting to swing the bats, but the Twins can also knock it around the park, and with Blanton serving up homers by the bunch, I believe they can outscore the hosts tonight. I'll go for the underdog odds with Minnesota.
ATS underdog 20 unit lock of year is tonight. Can anyone get it?
