Seattle Mariners -111:
Pretty unbelievable as SEA has been playing great baseball going all the way before the all star break winning 5 out of last 6. Today they turn to Bedard who has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 8 games. Even better he is 4-0 on the road and 3-0 at during day games!!Bedard will go at least 6 innings and only allow 1 run on Sunday. On the other side we have Laffey going for CLE trying to end a rough stretch of games where they have lost 20 of last 27 games and being outscored by an average of 3 runs per game. Laffey has been not good in his last two games with a 5.00 plus ERA. Today he will give up at least 4 runs in 5 innings to a very hot SEA lineup. This one will not be close.

SCORE SEA 6 - CLE 2

4 Units Toronto Blue Jays Halladay - $1.25
Roy Halladay has been the talk of the town with plenty of suitors coming forward trying to trade for the Ace of the Blue Jays. His stock will rise higher today after he beats Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox. They key to this game is actually the hitting as the Jays hit left handers 19 points higher than they do right handed pitching so they will get some runs against Lester. Lester has given up 13 earned in his last three starts against the Jays in Toronto. Halladay has not looked sharp in his last couple of starts but two of those games were on the road and he pitches better at home where he is 6-2 on the season. Blue Jays are 6-2 in Halladays last 8 home starts vs. Red Sox and the Blue Jays are 2-5 in Halladays last 7 starts with Cooper behind home plate.

PICK: Florida ML Even (8*)

Florida and Phillies Under 9 –105 for 4 units-
The starting pitching and the umpire in the game in Florida has me playing the under on a day game Sunday. Phillies will be sending Happ to the mound and since becoming a starter he is 6-0 2.90 ERA in which also Florida has never faced him as a starter before. Florida will be starting Miller (3-4 4.50 ERA) and he has been a polar opposite pitcher home and away at home he has been impressive 3-0 with a 3.25 ERA. Miller has faced the Phillies once this season holding them to 2 ER in 6 innings 4 runs total that game ended up with 8 runs. The ump that will be starting this game is the biggest under ump in MLB this season being 14-5 to the under with just under 8 runs a game. I see this as a good game for an under and a good spot as well.

200♦ SAN DIEGO PADRES (LIST Latos only) - You’ve heard me talk about this pitching intangible quite a bit this season, and we’ve made money doing so quite a bit this season, that being playing on a pitcher making his big-league debut. Welcome to the Majors Mat Latos, a highly regarded prospect in San Diego’s organization, and someone who should thrive in pitcher-friendly PETCO Park.

I know the Friars are mired in a 4-13 skid and haven’t won consecutive home contests since a 9-0 home stand from May 15-24, but the Rockies 2-7 slide as road chalk and know damn well Latos is capable of after watching highlights of the kid fire in last Sunday’s All-Star Futures game in St. Louis.

He brings a fastball that consistently reaches the mid-90s and can top out around 98, and has shown pinpoint control in the Minors with his entire arsenal, which includes a wicked slider and a devastating change-up. Trust me here guys, he will make some of the league’s best hitters look foolish. He steps the bump with a confident demeanor and you never what he’s coming with, as he’s tougher to solve than the Pythagorean Theorem.

In his last start for San Antonio, on July 9, Latos pitched five perfect innings before being taken out due to pitch count. The young right-hander was a combined 8-1 with a 1.38 ERA at Double-A San Antonio and Single-A Fort Wayne in 13 games - 11 starts - this season. In 72-1/3 innings this season, Latos has 73 strikeouts versus just 12 walks – a better than 6-to-1 ratio - while allowing 42 hits.

The Padres, who won last night’s game 3-1, are on an impressive 9-3 run after limiting teams to no more than two runs in their previous game.

I even have some umpire numbers in our pocket, which favors Latos today, as the home team is on winning runs of 8-2 when Ted Barrett is calling balls and strikes and 11-5 when he’s calling the pitches and Colorado is the visitor.

Take the Friars here, and list this young rookie.

100♦ BOSTON RED SOX (LIST Lester and Halladay) - We have arguably the best team in baseball in the Red Sox (despite the Dodgers having the best record) against one of the most impressive hurlers this season in Roy Halladay. How do you choose? What have you done for me lately?

Well, the Red Sox have won six of eight while the Blue Jays have lost 13 of 17. And as the Blue Jays are fading in the AL East, and talks continue about an imminent trade of Halladay, this year’s All-Star starter is winless in four starts since throwing a seven-hitter against the Royals on June 7. In three starts since returning from the disabled list, the six-time All-Star is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA. That won’t bode well against a Boston team that is on an 8-2 run when visiting a right-handed starter.

Boston, which is also on a 13-3 run after allowing five or more runs in its last time out, will be out for revenge after yesterday’s 6-2 loss in the Rogers Centre.

For Toronto, I see it having a tough go of it against Jon Lester, who is 5-1 with a 1.48 ERA in his last eight starts while he’s struck out 69 over 54-2/3 innings. The southpaw surrendered one earned run or fewer in six of those outings. More importantly, he’s had little trouble beating Toronto in 2009, having given up two runs and striking out 16 over 12-1/3 innings in winning both starts.
