15* Philadelphia Phillies -1.5
Take the Phillies on the run line at the Mets tonight with with J.A. Happ on the mound for Philadelphia. Happ has been incredible since joining the Phillies, going 9-2 with a 2.66 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, including a 4-1 record with a 1.92 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 9 road starts. He'll be opposed tonight by the Mets' Tim Redding,who is just 1-3 in 9 starts this season with a 6.99 ERA and 1.57 WHIP (the Mets are 3-6 in his 9 starts). The Phillies have played extremely well on the road this season at 37-21 and have won 5 of their last 7, while the Mets have dropped 4 of their 7. New York stole game one of this series from Philly last night, but look for the Phillies to bounce back big over the Mets Saturday.

You could make the argument that the wrong team is favored in this match up. First off, the Rangers' Tommy Hunter has been exceptional on the road this season, going 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 3 starts as the visiting pitcher. Hunter has 10 total starts on the season for Texas, and the Rangers are 7-3 in those starts with Hunter earning a 2.64 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in those appearances. Tampa's Matt Garza has good numbers on the season as well, but he is just 7-8 on the season, including failing to receive a decision in any of his last 3 starts, posting a 4.11 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over that stretch.

3 Unit Play. Take Houston +110 over Arizona
Arizona has dropped a season-high six straight games and can't seem to catch a break. Tonight we hope the D-Backs again can’t catch a break and the Astros win another game at home. Houston won two of three meetings with Arizona from June 12-14 at Chase Field. Houston is 7-1 in their last 8 games as a home underdog.
5 Unit Play. Take St. Louis –1 ½ -120 over San Diego
The Cardinals have won 12 of their last 14 games against the Padres and tonight should feel good about themselves with Carpenter on the mound. Carpenter seeks a sixth straight winning start tonight and the way Carpenter pitched against the Dodgers he should have no trouble against San Diego. St. Louis is 6-0 following a SU loss and the Padres are 7-20 in their last 27 games as a home underdog.
2 Unit Play. Take Chicago White Sox –1 ½ +105 over Baltimore
We tried the White Sox last night on the run-line and failed so let’s roll the dice again. The White Sox are 4-0 following a SU loss and the Sox are also 11-2 when playing on Saturday’s.
5 Unit Play. Take Chicago –3 over Detroit
After posting losing records in its first 2 years, Chicago is in a tight race for the final postseason berth in the Eastern Conference. The Sky have eight games left and will look to take advantage of three against disappointing Detroit Shock. The Sky have won five of eight and haven’t dropped back-to-back games in a month. The Shock on the other hand have lost three in a row and will be trying to avoid matching their longest skid of the season. If Chicago gets Sylvia Fowles back tonight the Sky should be able to get a home victory and get closer to a playoff berth. Chicago is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings against the Shock.

3 Unit Pick Take Over (8.5) Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Dodgers
This is the third game of this four game set with the first one pushing on the closing number of (9) and last night was a pitchers duel. This game is a day start in Los Angeles and the ball carries much better during the day. The Cubs send Ted Lilly to the hill after going six innings of shutout baseball in first start in close to month after being on the DL. While Lilly has been good against the Dodgers with a 3-0 record and a 3.20 era in four start’s, he faces a Dodgers team that rakes left handed pitching. The Dodgers send their tenth starter this year to the mound with knuckleball Charlie Hager making this start. Not much to go on with Hager but after Wolf dominating the Cubs lineup last night with off speed pitches I think it will be easier on the Cubs lineup to see this slow stuff two day’s in a row.
3 Unit Pick Take Oakland (-105) over Detroit
Oakland gets a chance to breakout of their offensive slump vs. a guy they have had success against. Armando Galarraga makes this start for the Tigers, Galarraga has a 7.02 era in four start’s vs. the A’s and in a start earlier this year gave up five runs and only got two outs before he was chased. In that start, Galarraga faced Oakland starter Trevor Cahill who makes this start in good form but not getting any run support, Cahill has been much better in home start’s this year and I think with the success the A’s have had against Galarraga and the current form Cahill has been in we have some good value here.
2 Unit Pick Take Over (9) Baltimore at The Chicago White Sox’s
Baltimore starter David Hernandez has struggled mightily, in three of his last five start’s Hernandez hasn’t made it past the fifth inning and gives up a ton of walks. Dansk hasn’t been as good this year as last, but is a good pitcher. The O’s have had some success against him as Danks has a 4.71 over five start’s vs. Baltimore. I think the White Sox’s will do some scoring tonight

1 Unit Play. Take Under 38.5 between the New Orleans Saints @ Houston Texans
Although one would think points will come a flurry between these two teams, the total has gone down since its inception. The total opened at 40 and there are a flurry of 38.5 and 39's out there. The Saints won 17-7 over the Bengals as Mark Brunell saw a quite bit of action. And, the Texans 16-10 at Kansas City as Orlovsky saw a good amount of action as well. It is expected that Grossman see some action today and that Brunell and Joey Harrington continue to see some reps. I expect a more tame result in offense from both teams as they have made a focus on defense this year. Its interesting that two of the most potent offenses in the league last year making defense more of a focus this year. Plus, this is a bit of a public fade as well. I believe this game likely stays under the posted total.
1 Unit Play. Take Over 32.5 between the New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens
Although many expect this game to be low scoring, I don't believe so. I think both offenses have the spurt to score here - mainly the Ravens. Remember, the Ravens continue to have success with Flacco as they put up 23 points against the Ravens. Plus, Troy Smith passed for 200 yards in the last game. Similar to the Titans, both quarterbacks having success yields more points. The Jets have some uncertainty with the quarterback rotation as well which I believe the increased competition will yield to more points - primarily between Erik Ainge and Mark Sanchez. I look for the Ravens to put up at least 24 in this effort while the Jets tack on a about two scores. I have this game closing between 37 and 38 points.

1 Unit Play. Take Green Bay –3 over Buffalo
Green Bay has a 9-3 lead in the all-time preseason series with Buffalo, but was a 27-7 road loser in the most recent meetings. Green Bay will want to show the Favre peeps that don’t forget us in the NFC North.
