15 Units Tigers {E.Jackson} (-105) over Redsox {B.Penny}
7:10 PM -- Fenway Park
Detroit Tigers (59-51) -115 over BOSTON RED SOX (62-48) Pitching for Detroit: RH Edwin Jackson (8-5, 2.62) Pitching for Boston: RH Brad Penny (7-6, 5.20) Tigers Trend Profile: Last 10: 6-4, Streak: Won 1, Road Record: 23-33, Against RHP: 39-37. Red Sox Trend Profile: Last 10: 4-6, Streak: Lost 6, Home Record: 35-17, Against RHP: 40-32. Starting Time: 7:10 TV: ESPN, New England Sports Network Comments: After opening their recent road trip 3-0 at Baltimore, the Red Sox went 0-2 at Tampa Bay and 0-4 against the Yankees and just were not hitting the ball. Boston is better than that but the numbers say it will have difficulty not losing its seventh straight tonight against a Detroit club that sends to the mound Edwin Jackson who is in top form. The second half of the pitching equation is even more tell-tale. Boston starter Brad Penny seems to just not have it. While Penny is 5-2 with an E.R.A of 4.72 at home this season, he is 0-2 in his last two starts, with an E.R.A. of 9.82 and gave up three home runs against Tampa Bay in his last start.
Partly cloudy with a 30-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Near 90.

San Francisco (+106) [Sanchez over Kuroda] for 1.5 Units *'
Dodgers/Giants 10:05: The Giants are catching the Dodgers in a late season swoon;
we'll look for Sanchez, who sports a 3.26 ERA at AT&T Park, to snap out of his funk
against the Dodgers and deliver here; after all, the Dodgers have lost 4 of their last 5 vs
lefty starters. Moreover, the Giants are 4-0 in Sanchez's last 4 at home, and they've
won 6 of their last 8 at home vs LA. The Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda has struggled vs SF
with a bloated 4.79 ERA, and LA is just 1-5 on the road with Kuroda vs winning teams.
Furthermore, Kuroda rarely goes in excess of 6 innings and the Dodgers' bullpen is
currently not at their best (4.58 ERA last 10). SF is 10-4 in game 1 of a series after a
loss and we'll go with them here.

New York Mets vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Looking at this Mets’ offense, there’s nothing scary about it. They were a team that went through a stretch of 30 games where they were shutout eight times. What has gone unnoticed is the fact that the Mets have been finding quite a bit of offense lately, and have not been shutout since July 21 in Washington. Their last 17 games shows a team scoring at an above-average clip for any team as the Mets have produced 5.1 runs a game. The Diamondbacks are the lowest-scoring team against lefthand pitching at 3.8 runs per game, but do far better against righthanders where the offense is a full run better at 4.8 per game. It is one of the reasons why they have played 15-7-2 to the OVER in their last 24 against righthand pitching. The Mets’ pitching has been very inconsistent, and after allowing two runs or less, they have played OVER in their next game to a record of 30-14-3. I like this one to go OVER the total.

100♦ FLORIDA MARLINS (Action) - When I first ear-marked this play last night, the overnight line was sitting at -145. I see the sharpies have moved this roughly .20 cents. No problem, lay the run line anyway. The Fish are home for a week after sweeping the defending World Series champion Phillies, and are now back in the National League East race; tonight Florida is in search of its sixth straight victory at home over the Astros on Monday night.
I know the Astros are coming in after winning two of three against the Brewers, but prior to that series they lost nine of 12. And, yes, they’re hungry in the NL Central sitting six back of the Cardinals in the division, but they can’t seem to escape Florida’s bite inside Land Shark Stadium – not the past two years.
I am not listing anyone in this one but for the record, the Fish will face former teammate Brian Moehler, who pitched for the Marlins in 2005 and 2006 before moving over to Houston. He comes in off one of most dismal starts, as he gave up nine hits and seven runs over six innings against the surging Giants last Wednesday in Houston. That’s nothing shocking, as the righty has been brutal at home and much better on the road. But that doesn’t scare me, as the Marlins won a mediocre seven of 13 at home in July and will be motivated to do much better this month.
Lay the run line here, as the wiseguys are moving the line high enough to tell me this is a blowout made in heaven.
