Minnesota at TEXAS -125
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Now on a 26-16 roll with the plays I'm giving away, including the Phillies over the Marlins 6-5 Friday! For tonight's complimentary play, we're looking at the Minnesota/Texas match up...

Good spot for the Rangers to get back on track, as they've lost 4 of their last 5 games, including yesterday's 5-3 loss to the Twins. Why is this a good spot? Well, it starts with the pitching match up, which clearly favors the Rangers...

Scott Feldman gets the nod for Texas, and there's a couple things I like about the Rangers righty: A. He's 3-0 with a strong 2.89 ERA over his last 3 starts, including back-to-back home wins against two top-tier offenses in the Rays and Angels. And B. His 3-1 record and 3.63 ERA in Arlington are no accident, as he's been at his best in front of the home fans. True, he's got poor career numbers against the Twins, but you can say the same about Minny's starter.

Speaking of the Twins starter, Scott Baker will be opposing Feldman in this one, and that's good news as far as I'm concerned. Yes, Baker has pitched well on the road of late, but overall he's looked anything but good, posting a disgusting 6.91 ERA over his last 3 starts. What's worse is his numbers vs the Rangers are pathetic, going 0-2 with a 7.47 ERA in 3 career starts!

Finally, I told you with my paid play winner on the Twins last night, that the Rangers would have trouble with the lefty Perkins, and I was dead-on. Fast forward to tonight's match up, and no such issue arises... Not only have the Rangers crushed Baker in the past, but they're also hitting righties much better of late, batting .258 against them over their last 10 (compared to just .233 vs lefties). In the end, look for the Rangers to snap their slide behind Feldman Saturday night at home!

Minnesota at TEXAS -120
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Tonight's FREE winner comes from Arlington as we go with the Rangers at home against the Twins.

The Rangers are in need of a big pitching performance from righty Scott Feldman (8-2, 3.83 ERA) today as they've dropped three in a row and find themselves 2 1/2 behind the Angels in the A.L. West standings. I expect Feldman to step up and deliver like the ace he's becoming right before our eyes.

Feldman is 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA in his last three outings and 3-1 in front of the home fans this season. The Rangers have won his last four starts and last time out he held the Mariners to two runs on seven hits in 6.2 innings of a 6-4 Texas victory. He's gone at least six innings in nine of his last 10 starts, giving the Rangers just what they need tonight.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
On the mound for the Twins is Scott Baker (7-7, 5.42) who has a 6.91 ERA in his last three outings and a 5.01 ERA on the road. On Sunday, the White Sox got him for five runs in 6.1 innings but the offense bailed him out with a 13-7 victory. He's allowed 10 runs in his last 9.1 innings and just hasn't looked good lately.

Minnesota is 0-6 when Baker starts as an underdog while the Rangers are 5-2 in Feldman's last seven at home. Texas is also on runs of 5-1 at home, 4-0 in the second game of a series and 20-8 at home against teams with losing road records.

I love Feldman and his tenacity. Play the Rangers in this one.

Matt Rivers

For Saturday take the Brewers.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Manny Parra certainly has not been good this season and it led to the demotion but his first start back up was great last week and when push comes to shove the Brewers are far superior to the Reds.

Aaron Harang is a professional hurler who at anytime can look very good. The guy has had his issues at times though this season including that last outing at CitiField against the Mets where he lasted a whole three innings. I like the tall junkballer, I really do, but he has not won a game since May 25th and in this spot against bashers in Braun and Fielder along with other solid players like Cameron, Hardy and Hart I can't help but go against Harang and back the visiting Brew Crew.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Parra is a talented lefty who has been disappointing for sure but the upside is there and against a fairly weak weak Cincinnati lineup I expect Parra to once again look pretty good. With Jay Bruce out there really is not much more on the Reds besides Joey Votto. Brandon Phillips can be good but all in all we are looking at Votto and not much else at all.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
If the bad and non confident Parra shows up then we certainly could be in some trouble here. But Milwaukee is clearly the superior club of these two and with te Reds reeling offense I think we'll see the quality Parra start and pick up the win!

Battle of a pair of aces in St. Louis today so look low as runs will be at a premium when the D'Backs and Cardinals meet at Busch Stadium.

Helping to keep the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard will be Adam Wainwright and his 1.39 ERA over his last four starts that has led to four straight games staying under the posted price.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Countering for Arizona is All Star Dan Haren, who has been one of the toughest pitchers to score on this season given his 2.01 season ERA and even lower earned run average of 0.77 over his last three outings.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
With both pitchers fully rested thanks to the All Star break, I expect for pitching to lead the way for a low-scoring game today in St. Louis so play this one Under the posted price.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES / FLORIDA MARLINS
Take PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Phillies look like the defending champs now, pulling away in the NL East. One factor has been the return of All-Star Raul Ibanez, who hit two home runs in the first game after the break, giving him 24 this season. Starter Joe Blanton has been red-hot, at 2-0 with a 1.83 ERA his last three starts and this is a great pitcher's park. He is 3-0 lifetime against Florida. Play the Phillies.

I'm pretty sure everyone and their mother is going to have the Dodgers tonight but with good reason.Kershaw has been real good as of late and LA is one of the top home teams in MLB.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Our second play is down in Texas. The Rangers are one of the best home teams and Minnesota is one of the bottom on the road.A good pitching matchup and a nice price certainly makes the Rangers worth an investment.

For today free I'm heading west to the Angels as they turn to Jered Weaver to rebound against Oakland. Weaver, 10-3, 3.22 could have easily been tabbed an All Star with the year he has produced. I feel he is the right guy at the right time to get it done for Mike Scioscia and the Angels. He gets a good draw here against the A's Vin Mazzaro 2-5, 3.59. Mazzaro has better stuff than his record indicates but he has lost his last 5 decisions and his bad luck held out here in my opinion with this matchup against Jered. I feel the price is reasonable at -125 and am taking the Angels to strike back tonight.

Minnesota Twins @ Texas Rangers
PICK: Minnesota Twins
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Scott Feldman owns a gaudy 8-2 record but the Twins are a team that could give him problems. Feldman is not a strikeout pitcher as he has just 46 in over 96 innings of work, featuring a very marginal 1.48 strikeout to walk ratio. Feldman has not allowed a lot of hits but left-handers have had some success against him and the Minnesota lineup is loaded with quality left-handed batters. Minnesota enters this game batting .269 in the last ten games, having scored 59 runs in that span.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Twins have struggled on the road this season but recent weeks have been encouraging, winning 10 of the last 15 road games including four consecutive road series wins. The Twins are just above .500 but Minnesota has scored more runs than Texas this season, something that is hard to believe considering that the Ballpark in Arlington has the second highest ballpark OPS in the AL. The Twins are also 12-6 in the last 18 meetings in this series.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Minnesota starter Scott Baker has pitched better than his statistics indicate. He had a slow start to the season and he has had a few shaky outings but he also has seven quality starts on the year. Baker owns a 3.90 strikeout to walk ratio and he actually has pitched significantly better on the road versus at the Metrodome. The Minnesota bullpen should also hold a significant edge in this match-up, featuring a considerably better season ERA although both Texas and Minnesota have received quality relief pitching in recent weeks. The Rangers offense has been the cause for the slide in the standings as Texas is batting just .243 in the last ten games.

San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
There is certainly something about the National League Central that affects Giants southpaw Barry Zito the wrong way as the lefthander has seen San Francisco lose his last 11 of his starts vs. this division. As hot as the G-Men have been recently, they are averaging just 3.6 runs per game on the road this season. While they are own the best home record in the National League, San Fran is seven games under .500 on the road and the Bucs are surprisingly six games over here at PNC Park. Take the favorite.

Los Angeles Dodgers
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been almost unhittable over his last six starts, and while Mike Hampton is a Comeback Player of the Year candidate for the Houston Astros, he showed in his last start that he is capable of imploding at any time.

Kershaw has allowed a grand total of three runs on only 19 hits in 35.2 innings in those six starts, including four scoreless outings! Believe it or not, he has actually been better over his last three outings, where he allowed one run and six hits in 17 innings with 16 strikeouts. Kershaw has been excellent at home all year, where he has a deceptive 2-2 record with a sparkling 1.85 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in nine starts.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Now Hampton was on a nice roll entering his last start, but he was then promptly roughed up for five runs and nine hits in just 3.2 innings by the lowly Washington Nationals of all clubs. Yes, he had allowed three runs or less in five straight starts prior to that outings, but that last start has us a bit concerned, and he will need to be on top of his game to match Kershaw in his raging current form.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
While Hampton is better than his last start, we still expect the Dodgers to scratch out enough runs off of him here for a Run Line victory.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics
Play: Under 8½
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Today's starters are Jered Weaver and Vin Mazzaro. Weaver has an ERA of 3.14 while Mazzaro's ERA is 3.59. With Torii Hunter and Vlad Guerrero injured, expect the Angels to be offensivley challenged. It will be especially tough for them today in a pitchers ballpark. Weaver has a 1.80 ERA during day starts as opposed to his 3.69 ERA at night. Mazzaro is a young rookie who has showed signs of dominance. He has struggled at times but that is expected as a rookie. Mazzaro is much more effective during day games where his ERA is 2.19 while at night it's 4.08. Expect Vin to pitch well today. Take the UNDER 8.5 runs.
