20 Dime -- Mariners (Hernandez) over TIGERS (Galarraga)

MARINERS
NOTE: List only Hernandez as Seattle's starting pitcher
Felix Hernandez (10-3, 2.51 ERA) might be en route to a Cy Young Award-winning season.
The Mariners ace has been as good as they come over his last 10 outings, going 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA, and allowing 11 earned runs in 76 innings. He has pitched at least 6 2/3 innings in each of those starts and has not given up more than three runs in any of them.

King Felix, who takes the mound today at Detroit, also has been awesome on the road, going 6-1 with a 1.97 ERA in 11 starts this year. He has already beaten the Tigers once this season, in Seattle on April 17, and has won four straight against Detroit.
Meanwhile, Armando Galarraga’s season has gone downhill after a great opening month. The Tigers right-hander went 3-0 with a 1.85 ERA in April, but he has struggled since then. Galarraga was 0-5 with an 8.49 ERA in May and 2-2 with a 5.06 ERA in June, but is a more respectable 0-1 with a 3.46 ERA in two July outings.

Galarraga (5-8, 5.09) allowed four runs and nine hits in six-plus innings against Cleveland on July 11 in his last start.

Hernandez is a major reason Seattle has reversed course this year after losing 101 games in 2008, as the Mariners are 7-0 in his last seven outings, and 6-0 in his last six road starts. I think that run is going to continue today. Take the Mariners in this one.

San Francisco Under (7) for 1.5 Units
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Both of these starters are in great form and should thrive in their respective spots tonight. Lincecum has been outstanding at night (8-0 1.89 ERA) and dominant against the Braves (5-0 2.08 ERA), in which he has gone 1-4 O/U.The Braves have found their groove at the plate, but Lincecum is surely the guy to shut them down. Jurrjens, on the other hand, is tough to beat at home and controls a solid 2.16 ERA over his last 4 starts. He faces a SF lineup that is severely struggling now with a .209 BA over its last 6 games. Jurrjens is 4-9 O/U in this 'total' range. "Under" the call.

15* Arizona Diamondbacks +195
Take the hot starter here with Jon Garland and the Diamondbacks. Garland's record on the season is just 5-9, but he's 1-1 (the D-Backs are 2-1) in his last 3 starts and has a 2.70 ERA over that stretch. Garland will be countered by Ubaldo Jimenez tonight, a strikeout pitcher who sometimes gets into trouble with his control. Jimenez is 1-2 in his last 3 starts with a 4.19 ERA with most of those runs coming as the expense of allowing too many walks. The Rockies have also had problems with their bullpen this season. As a unit they have a 4.92 ERA and just a 10-14 record this season. The Diamondbacks' pen has only been slightly better, but they have enough factors going their way tonight to warrant a play as such a huge underdog.
15* Indians/Blue Jays UNDER 8.5
Typically you probably think of these two teams as strong offensive units, but that hasn't been the case for the Indians or the Blue Jays over the past week. In their last 7 games, the Indians have hit just .245 as a team and have scored an average of only 2.6 runs per game. The Blue Jays are also averaging a mere 2.6 runs per game over their last 7 games, and they are hitting even worse than Cleveland, coming into tonight's game with a team batting average of .221 over the past week of play. Ricky Romero is the Toronto starter and he has been extremely effective when he pitches at home this season. His record at home is 5-2 and he's earned a 2.91 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 7 appearances in Toronto. Meanwhile, Carl Pavano has stepped up his game of late, going 2-1 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over his last 3 starts, never allowing more than 2 earned runs in any one of those appearances.
20* No-Brainer on Giants/Braves UNDER 7
This is a game where it's hard for books to set the line low enough. You have Tim Lincecum, the reigning Cy Young Award winner from last year, who has picked up right where he left off last season earning a 10-2 record, 2.27 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 19 starts for the Giants. Linececum has showed no signs of slowing down either, he's undefeated in his last 3 starts, posting a 1.74 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. Atlanta's Jair Jurrjens doesn't get the fanfare of Lincecum, but he's been nearly as effective this season, earning a 2.77 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 20 starts. You should also factor in that the Braves have not hit right handed starters well this season, batting .258 as a team and scoring just 3.8 runs and, of course, tonight they are facing one of the best righties in the game. San Francisco, on the other hand have struggled to produce runs on the road this year, scoring 3.4 runs per game and hitting .244 as the visitor. Looking over San Fran's last 7 games, you'll see they've managed to put up just over 2 runs per game and are hitting a collective .211 over that span.
15* Cardinals/Astros UNDER 7
After an old fashioned slug-fest last night between the Cardinals and Astros, I like them to stay under the total tonight with two of the hottest pitchers in baseball on the mound. Chris Carpenter has been money this year, going 8-3 with a 2.26 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 14 starts, he's also 3-0 over his last 3 appearances with a 1.71 ERA and 1.10 WHIP and has a 2.50 ERA on the road this season. Roy Oswalt has been a workhorse for the Astros for several years, and despite a slow start, he's pitching as good as any one in baseball lately. Over his last 3 starts he has earned a 1.96 ERA and 0.61 WHIP, where the Astros are 3-0 over that stretch. Expect an old fashioned pitcher's duel tonight.
