Detroit starter Edwin Jackson has allowed 3 or less runs in 8 straight games. Detroit is 11-3 their last 14 Sunday games. The Tigers are 6-2 in Game 3 of a series and they are 15-7 after scoring 2 or less runs in their last game. New York starter Joba Chamberlain has allowed 16 runs in his last 13.1 innings of work. Chamberlain has pitched past the sixth inning just once in his last 5 starts. PLAY ON DETROIT + (Jackson vs. Chamberlain)

MINNESOTA vs. TEXAS
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Minnesota Twins(47-44) are steadily closing in on the AL Central lead as they look to sweep the Texas Rangers tonight. Minnesota 12-5 away from the Metrodome since June 9th and won their last four road games. They will start Francisco Liriano (4-9, 5.47 ERA) who is looking to avoid an AL-worst 10th defeat.In his last start,Liriano allowed six runs, three earned in 5 1/3 innings of a 6-4 defeat July 9 to the visiting New York Yankees but he will hope to benefit from his teammates recent hot hitting. Carlos Gomez is 9 for 15 (.600) with nine RBIs during a five-game hit streak while Like Gomez, Justin Morneau have three straight multihit performances for the Twins, who batted .300 while winning four of the last five.The Rangers (48-41) were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position in Saturday night's 4-1 defeat, and have fallen three games behind first-place Los Angeles in the AL West.Making his first start since July 4th, the rookie left-hander Derek Holland (3-5, 5.97) tries to end his season-long struggles in his first career appearance against the Twins.Holland who is 1-4 with a 6.23 ERA in seven starts this season is expected to remain in the rotation until the Rangers can acquire a replacement. These teams are featuring two starting pitchers who won"t be in the rotation long. As hot as the Twins bats are, they probaly could reach this total by themselves.

San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Runs have been at a real premium in this weekend series as only five total runs have been scored in the previous two games. Four of those have come from the Pirates, but today it's San Francisco that we see taking care of business as starter Matt Cain owns a 10-1 team start record when favored + went into the Break with a 1.17 ERA over his last three starts. The Giants are 13-9 this season vs. lefties, so we see them handling Zach Duke.FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM

Larry Ness

Detroit Tigers @ New York Yankees
PICK: Detroit Tigers

Edwin Jackson never developed out in LA (2003-05) and then in his second year with the Rays in 2007, struggled through a 5-15 (5.76 ERA) season in which the Rays went 8-23 in his starts. However, 2008 was a breakout season for the Rays (who were AL champs) and Jackson won 14 games. He's been even better for the Tigers in 2009 (made All Star team), going 7-4 with a 2.32 ERA in 18 starts (121.2 IP and 94 hits allowed / 97-35 K-W ratio). Jackson's record deserves to be much better, as he's allowed three ERs or less in 16 of his 18 starts in 2009, including his last 10. However, his 3.55 run support average ranks among the worst in the majors. The same can't be said for his mound opponent in this game, Joba Chamberlain. He's in his first full season as a starter but has struggled with high walk rates and high pitch counts. Consider this. Chamberlain has made nine home starts in 2009, allowing 48 hits and 25 walks over 42 innings with a 5.36 ERA. He's 0-2 but the Yankees have won all SEVEN of his no decisions. Chamberlain hasn't pitched well but the Yankee bats keep covering it up.I'm taking the price with Jackson and the Tigers

Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees
Play: Detroit Tigers
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
We are getting solid value here Sunday afternoon with the Tigers who have the superior pitcher on the mound. Edwin Jackson (7-4, 2.52) is well rested so I look for him to have dominating stuff against this Yankees line-up today and the Tigers are a perfect 5-0 in Jackson's last 5 starts when the posted total is 9.0 to 10.5. Jackson has pitched solid on the road with an ERA of just 2.33 over 10 starts and Joba Chamberlain (4-2, 4.25 ERA) has struggled at home for the Yankees with an ERA of 5.36 over 9 starts. Chamberlain has been hit very hard over his last 3 starts giving up 27 hits over just 13.3 innings including 4 homeruns and I look for the Tigers bats to come alive today. The Tigers are 6-2 in their last 8 games in game 3 of a series and they are 11-3 in their last 14 games played on Sunday. Take the Detroit Tigers Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics
Prediction: Under
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
If this o/u line had gone to nine across the board, which I originally thought it had a chance of doing, I would have used this as one of my guaranteed/premium selections. As it is, with most shops offering a line of 8.5, it's now a strong opinion.

Lackey is better than his numbers indicate and if he stays healthy should have a strong second half. Note that he closed out the first half by limiting the Yankees to two runs through seven complete innings.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
It's also worth noting that Lackey is 14-4 in 26 starts vs. Oakland. During that stretch, he has an outstanding 2.80 ERA and 1.168 WHIP. Not surprisingly 16 of those 26 games, including nine of the last 11, stayed below the total.

Anderson goes for the A's and he went into the break with a superb 0.49 ERA (0.873 WHIP) over his last three starts, striking out more than one per inning during that stretch. That includes a complete game 2-hit shutout at Fenway Park.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
While the A's gave up a whopping 11 runs yesterday, they've seen the 'under' go a profitable 25-10 the last 35 times that they allowed double-digits in their previous game. Consider the Under

Houston Astros @ Los Angeles Dodgers
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Hiroki Kuroda of the Los Angeles Dodgers was dominant in his two starts vs. the Houston Astros last season, while Russ Ortiz has been surprisingly serviceable for the Astros.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Granted, Kuroda has been more inconsistent than usual lately, but Houston could be the perfect remedy for him. Kuroda allowed a total of one run and only six hits in 13.2 innings over those two starts vs. the Astros last year, and although they have been hitting better lately, they are still batting a modest .258 vs. right-handed pitchers on the road this season. Kuroda also has a 1.11 WHIP in four home starts, and he has always pitcher better at home since entering the league.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Ortiz has surprisingly allowed three earned runs or less in eight of his 10 starts this season, and one of those outings came vs. these Dodgers in Houston back in April. Now Ortiz has become no more than a six-inning pitcher at this point of his career, but that suits the Astros just fine as they are getting fine work out of their bullpen, as that unit has posted a 3.56 ERA over the last 10 games.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Under is now 7-1 in the last eight Dodger home games, and we look for more of the same today.

I am suggesting a wager on Jose Contreras and the White Sox to get it done again against the Orioles. Since his return from the minors in Charlotte Jose has been solid as hell and at home he's notched 7 starts over 7 innings per outing with a stellar 2.55 era. His opponent is Jeremy Guthrie who has been hounded by inconsistency and has a real bad habit of giving up long nasy bombs at the wrong time. Jose Guillen has to like the way his club has come out of the gate the second half and I cannot see Guthrie slowing them down Sunday.

San Francisco at Pittsburgh
Selection: UNDER 7.5
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Profile: Both of these teams have really struggled to hit in this series, mainly because they are two of the worst hitting line-ups in baseball. Both Matt Cain and Zack Duke have pitched well lately also. San Francisco really struggles against lefties, especially on the road. This season they are only hitting .216 against them on the road. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh's line-up has been significantly impacted by the barrage of trades. They are only hitting .213 against righties over their last 10 games, and their scoring has dropped off as well. Look for this game to be very low scoring and dominated by pitching.

Seattle at Cleveland
Pick: Seattle -110
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Mariners don't score a lot but their pitching and defense have been tremendous. They allow just 4.1 runs per game overall, 3.9 per game in day games and they have given up just 2.6 per game over their last seven. Compare that to the 5.5 per game the Indians allow and 5.7 in day games. Making it more difficult for Cleveland today is the fact that they face Erik Bedard who has posted a 2.63 ERA thus far in 13 games this season. Seattle wins the games they are supposed to win as they are 21-11 this season vs. teams that are at .460 or worse. Cleveland is just 19-31 vs. winning teams. I like the Mariners here.
