10* New York Mets / Detroit Over
The Tigers are 8-4 to the over this season as a road dog of +100 to +125 and this is even after yesterday’s game stayed well under the total due to the Tigers getting shutout. After struggling with right-hander R.A. Dickey yesterday, look for Detroit’s bats to get back on track against southpaw Hisanori Takahashi. The Tigers have pounded left-handed pitching this season as their .279 batting average versus southpaws is among the best in the league. The Tigers were on a 6-1 run to the over before yesterday’s under. Detroit had averaged 5.8 runs per game in their last 10 games before getting shutout yesterday. Takahashi is coming off of back to back strong road starts but he faced a Yankees team that has been much more of an over team against righties than lefties this season and the other team that the Mets southpaw faced was a struggling Orioles lineup. Prior these two outings Takahashi had been hammered in back to back starts against the Padres and Marlins as he allowed a combined 11 earned runs on 14 hits in just 9.1 innings of work. In facing Detroit tonight, he will face plenty of right-handed lumber and righties are hitting him 49 points higher than lefties this season. Also, Takahashi is getting hit 26 points higher under the lights compared to in day games.
The Mets have been on a huge surge as they are loving interleague action. New York was 5-3 to the over in their last 8 games before yesterday’s 5-0 win. The Mets have averaged 11 hits per game in their last 9 games. They should have no trouble with the offerings of Armando Galarraga. He’s been rocked in his road starts again this season and, in his career, Galarraga is 11-4 in day games but 10-14 at night with an ERA that is more than a full run higher when pitching under the lights compared to pitching under the sun! Galarraga has been hit 63 points higher by lefties than righties in his career and the Detroit right-hander is facing a Mets lineup that, between lefties and switch-hitters, will likely have at least five of it’s nine batters stepping in on the left-hand side of the plate! Galarraga has a low ERA so far this season and that is helping to keep this total down. Keep in mind, he’s facing a very confident Mets lineup (they have been scorching hot in interleague play this season) and Galarraga has more walks than strikeouts in his last three starts combined. Also, he’s been hit quite hard in two of his last three starts and he’s been particularly struggled in his two road starts this season. This is no fluke as, last season, Galarraga went 2-6 with a 6.27 ERA. Also, the Tigers right-hander was just 2-9 in his night starts last season. Galarraga is 0-2 with a 12.15 ERA in his two interleague road starts. Also, the wind is expected to be blowing out to right field tonight after the rain from the late afternoon showers in the area moves through. That means the ball should carry a little bit better than usual to right field and that certainly won’t do Galarraga any favors either against the left-handed sticks he will see this evening. Look for the Mets to stay hot at the plate and look for the Tigers to resume their offensive success after getting shutout last night. Two good bullpens involved here but the way these lineups have been going, the poor match-ups that the starting pitchers are in here, it all adds up to a big over and we can take advantage of a low total posted on this one. Play OVER the total in the New York Mets game as a *10* Top Play selection.

Red Sox -105
Boston is just 17-15 on the road, while Colorado is 23-13 at home. Colorado won the first two games of this series and five in a row against Boston during the regular season. Daisuke Matsuzaka is coming off the DL, while Jason Hammel is currently riding a career-best streak of 25 1/3 scoreless innings. Yet the Rockies opened as just a -115 home favorite? Hmm. Looks like the oddsmakers expect some regression to the mean for Hammel tonight and for Boston to avoid the sweep. I happen to agree.
This Boston lineup, which is hitting .321 and scoring 6.7 runs per game against righties over their last 10 contests, will provide Hammel with a MUCH tougher challenge than he's faced recently. Matsuzaka was 3-1 with a 1.98 ERA in his last four starts prior to the forearm injury that landed him on the DL. If you look past the home/road ERAs for these two, they have produced very similarly. Dice K owns a 1.30 WHIP & .320 OOBP (Opponents On-Base Percentage) on the road, and Hammel owns a 1.24 WHIP & .320 OOBP at home.
A regression to the mean is in order for Mr. Hammel tonight against a tough Boston lineup that his hit him well in the past (Ortiz, Scutaro, Pedroia & Varitek are a combined 9-for-17 against him). Take Boston/Matsuzaka over Colorado/Hammel.

10* IL Underdog of the Month - Tor Blue Jays
The 6' 7" Adam Wainwright was converted to a starter for the 2007 season (helped team win World Series in 2006 as a middle-reliever) and went 14-12 (3.70 ERA). Despite suffering a finger injury in June that caused him to miss 2½ months of the 2008 season, he finished 11-3 with a 3.20 ERA in 20 starts and then was BRILLIANT in 2009, going 19-8 with a 2.63 ERA. Wainwright became only the second pitcher (Trevor Hoffman being the first) ever to get the most first place votes in the NL's Cy Young award voting last year and NOT win the award (finished third behind teammate Carpenter and winner, Lincecum). He's 10-4 with a 2.23 ERA in 15 starts this season but one should note that he's had trouble wi€nning away from home, He's a perfect 7-0 in his home starts (1.67 ERA) but despite an excellent 2.78 ERA on the road, he's just 3-4 away from StL (team is 3-5). The Cards have taken the first two games of this series from the Jays (9-4 and 1-0) and now go for the sweep. However, while I respect Wainwright, one can't ignore the fact that he's been vulnerable away from home. Also, Brandon Morrow, has really been a tough opponent as of late. He made just 15 starts (131 appearances) with the Mariners the previous three years but his move to Toronto has been a good one and all of his appearances (14) this year have been a starter. He's struggled (to say the least) on the road (0-4 with a 7.09 ERA in seven road starts / team is 2-5) but he's 4-1 with a 3.35 ERA in seven starts at Rogers Centre / team is 5-2). Morrow comes in with lots of confidence, as in his last four starts (three at home and one on the road), he's allowed just 17 hits and five ERs over 26 innings (1.73 ERA). Take the price!

NY Mets (-125) for 2 Units
This should be a tough outing for the Tigers, which are 0-5 in New York. They're 2-10 as a road dog with Galarraga as the starter. And Galarraga has been mediocre (4.24 ERA) since his near perfect game on June 2nd. On the other hand, Takahashi looked strong over his last few starts and controls a 2-0 mark with a 0.47 ERA in interleague starts. And New York controls a 20-8 mark at home vs righty starters and 11-2 in interleague action. The Mets currently are firing on all cylinders, including a bullpen that is getting it done this month (1.90 ERA). Mets the call.
