Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates
Prediction: Pittsburgh Pirates
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Pirates won an interesting game yesterday by a margin of 3-0 to even the series at a game each. Chicago had a lot of men in scoring position, but they couldn?t push a run across. Pittsburgh pitchers struck out ten and allowed a single walk. Low-scoring wins are positively inspiring for Pittsburgh. The Pirates are 17-9 as a DOG after scoring 3 runs or less and winning as a dog and 18-8 as a dog after a win in which they allowed 1 or fewer walks and it is not the first game of a series.

Detroit/Oakland Under
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
At 3:35pm our complimentary selection is on the Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics 'under' the total. Oakland lefthanded starter Dallas Braden hit a small bump in the road in his last start on June 26. True, the young third-year player only gave up two earned runs in that start - the fourth start in a row that Braden has only given up two earned runs - but he lasted just 5 1/3 innings and threw 100 pitches in the process. However, Braden can be excused - at least a little bit - for struggling in that start as it was against the red-hot Rockies in an inter-league game. Now Braden can get back to work against an American League foe (which is the good news). The bad news is that he will have to face another hot team in the Tigers and their ace, Justin Verlander. Braden will also have to deal with a very weak offense, that being the one of his own team. Braden knows this problem first hand as, despite an excellent ERA of 3.26, Braden has been getting very little run support and has a losing record of 5-7. In fact in Braden's last four starts, the A's are 0-4 and have only scored a total of 10 runs, or an average of just 2.5 runs per game. Not to be outdone, in Justin Verlander's last five starts, the Tigers are just 2-3 despite mostly quality starts by their ace, and Detroit has only scored a total of 12 runs in those five games. Take the 'under.'

Brian Moehler is 2-0 over his last 3 starts, but he has allowed 7 runs in 17 innings, and for the season, sports an over 6 ERA.
His counterpart Walter Silva is fresh off 8 runs allowed against the Rangers in just 2 innings of work. That start ballooned his season ERA up over 9!

White Sox +105 at CLEVELAND
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
For Wednesday night, have to back the surging White Sox to leave Cleveland with the three-game sweep.
Chicago pounded Cleveland 11-4 last night for their 4th straight win, and their 8th win in their last 10 games. The Sox know the Tigers are struggling on the road right now, so expect Chicago to continue their run against a Cleveland team that has now lost 4 straight, and 9 of 11.
Jose Conteras has gone 2-0 his last 3 starts against the Indians, while Jeremy Sowers is 0-4 the last 4 times he has faced the Pale Hose, allowing 14 runs in just 18 innings of work.

The Rangers can pull within one-half game of Los Angeles tonight with awin. Texas (41-35) will face starting Angel Pitcher Jered Weaver (8-3, 2.65 ERA), who went 7-2 with a 2.08 ERA in his first 13 starts but has allowed nine runs in 11 1/3 innings in his last two starts but he earned a victory against Arizona on Friday, working six innings in a 12-3 win. In Weavers last start against the Rangers, Los Angeles didn't give him any support as he allowed three runs in eight innings in a 3-0 loss. It will be tough for the Angel bats against Kevin Millwood (8-5, 2.64). Millwood is coming off a month of June in which he went 4-1 with a 1.30 ERA. Millwood beat the Angels on May 15, allowing two runs in six innings. Two of the top six AL pitchers in ERA match up tonight which will keep this a low scoring game.

Cole Hamels(4-4. 4.43 ERA) the Phillies starting hurler today against the Atlanta Braves goes for his fifth straight win at Turner Field on Wednesday night. The ace of Phillies' staff is 4-0 with a 3.21 ERA in his last four outings in Georgia, and once again looks like a good hurler to back, vs a Braves team that has averaged just 3.7 RPG at home this season via a lowly .253 team BA. Meanwhile, his pitching opponent , Jair Jurrjens, despite of being a top tier pitcher , has not had much luck of late going 0-4 in his 5 June starts, thanks to a offense that has supplied him with a total of 9 runs (1.8 RPG) during that span. I expect his bad run continues tonight vs the defending champs. Final notes & Key Trends: Phillies are 10-2 on the road this season with a moneyline of -100 to -125. ..... Play on the Philadelphia Phillies

Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals
Prediction: Under
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Plenty of reasons to favor the 'under' here. The Twins are 8-3 to the under this season when the money line on the game is between -100 and -125. Through games of Monday, June 29th, Minnesota is 26-11 to the under in road games this season. The Twins are 19-9 to the under in day games this season. Through games of Monday, June 29th, Minnesota is 27-13 to the under in games against teams with a losing record. When the total is a 9 or 9.5, the Royals are 100-59 to the under the last three seasons. Kansas City is 16-10 to the under in day games this season. Glen Perkins started the season with three straight quality starts. He then struggled from late April through mid-May. But, after a stint on the disabled list he's come back and produced two quality starts in three outings this month. Perkins has a 3.62 ERA and a .267 BAA in 22 day games (14 starts) in his career. Through games of Monday, June 29th, the Royals had averaged just 3.8 runs per game in the month of June. Heading into Tuesday's action, the Royals had gone 6-0-1 to the under in their last 7 games. Heading into Tuesday's action, Minnesota had gone 8-3 to the under in their last eleven games. Through games of Monday June 29th, the Twins had been held to three runs or less in 13 of their last 23 games. Kansas City's Gil Meche is off of back to back losses but he had previously produced five quality starts in his last six outings. He lasted at least six innings in each of those five starts and he allowed two earned runs or less in each outing. Meche is 8-5 in his career against the Twins and he's held them to a .238 batting average. Meche is 27-21 in day games in his career with a solid 3.92 ERA. Consider the Under

Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays
The Under is now 25-10 in the last 35 head-to-head meetings between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays after the Rays took the first two games of this series by identical 4-1 scores, and we see no reason why the scoring should pick up this afternoon.

Now Tampa Bay starter James Shields has traditionally pitched much better at home, but he has now matured to the point where his home/away splits are much less pronounced this year. He has a very respectable 3.72 ERA on the road, and the last time he pitched away from home, he allowed just one run and three hits in seven innings vs. the New York Mets. Shields has also posted Quality Starts in each of his last two starts in Toronto.

Young southpaw Ricky Romero has been very solid for the Jays, going 5-3 with a 3.20 ERA, and he has been at his best here at home, where he is 4-1 with a 2.90 ERA and an excellent 1.16 WHIP. Romero has reeled off five consecutive Quality Starts, and his last outing was his best yet, as he tossed seven scoreless innings while allowing only two hits vs. the Philadelphia Phillies with seven strikeouts vs. just one walk.
Add in the fact that the Rays have never faced him before, and this Under becomes even more desirable.

Boston and Baltimore Under 9 for 3 units
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Looking at this matchup we are getting two good pitchers coming into this game Wednesday in Beckett (9-3 3.48 ERA) vs. Bergesen (5-2 3.76 ERA). Bergensen has impressed me a lot as a rookie this year and especially at home with a 5-1 record pitching 52.1 innings only giving up 18 ER. Beckett has turned around his bad start to the season to look like his normal dominate self going 8-1 his last 10 games while having 9 quality starts in those 10 with 6 of those giving up 1 ER or less. I believe we are getting a good spot today in a game day under with 2 quality starters on the mound today and I see a lot of value in this play because I am sure that Boston and Baltimore will be sitting one or two of there starters today. I am hearing Adam Jones is out due to injury and JD Drew for Boston at least. The Under is also 13-3 after a loss by Boston this season while the Under is 7-2 in Becketts starts overall. Also the Under is 4-1 in Becketts last 5 starts in Baltimore.

Today Josh Johnson will go up against rookie Jordan Zimmerman and both pitchers are pitching well, but the difference is in the Marlins flat out dominating the Nationals. They will be going for their 10th win in a row over the Nationals here today. The Nationals have lost all 8 games this year vs. the Marlins seven of which have came by more than 1 run.
Zimmermann has pitched well of late, but he's on the road and during the day here. He has a 5.93 ERA away compared to 3.83 home and a 5.23 day compared to a 4.55 night. I look for him to struggle against a Marlins club that is starting to hit the ball a bit here now.

Josh Johnson on a huge bounce back start vs. a team he has owned in the past. He has a 4-0 career record with a 3.68ERA vs. the Nationals, but struggled last time out vs. the Nats. I think he will pitch a gem here today where he has a 1.94ERA. The Marlins are 11-2 the last 13 times Johnson has been a favorite and they are a big one here today! However, with the Nationals losing 82% of their road games by more than 1 run I see excellent value on the run line!

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
I like the Cardinals to end their skid tonight at home with ace Adam Wainwright on the hill. The Cardinals are 5-0 in Wainwright's last 5 Wednesday starts, 6-1 in his last 7 starts during game 3 of a series, and an incredible 22-5 in hiss last27 starts vs. a team with a winning record. We know how good Cain has been for the Giants this season, but he's had some trouble picking up win No. 10. In his last outing, Cain allowed five runs and six hits in a 5-1 loss at Milwaukee. He has also been roughed up against the Cards in three career starts, going 1-2 against the money line with an ERA of 6.48 and a WHIP of 1.500. The Giants are 3-18 in his last 21 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. After back-to-back home defeats to San Francisco, look for the Cards to get back in the win column tonight.

Randy Wells has been a true road warrior this year, pitching well above his experience. Chalk this one up to the Cubs when Chicago and Pittsburgh end their series at PNC Park.
Chicago Cubs pitcher Randy Wells has been pitching more like a veteran rather than a young player in his first year as a starter.
He has a 2.20 ERA, allowing just eight earned runs in 32.2 innings pitched on the highway. He is a young road warrior to say the least with 26 strikeouts and has allowed only 24 hits in road games. That says a lot for a young hurler to have more strikeouts than hits in road play. He has been solid overall with seven quality starts in nine appearances this season.

Pittsburgh sends Virgil Vasquez to the mound, who in his season debut looked very solid pitching six innings and allowing just two earned runs. That was against a lethargic Kansas City Royals offense though. We're not saying the Cubs offense has been superb this year but Vasquez' numbers in his lone start this season don't tell the whole truth about him.
In his rookie season in 2007 for Detroit, Vasquez struggled with a 8.64 ERA. Last year with Triple-A Toledo he had a rather high 4.81 ERA. He has only pitched 22 innings in the big leagues with a 7.14 ERA, allowing 31 hits and 18 earned runs in just 22.2 innings of work.

We're not sold on the inexperienced Vasquez and believe his flaws will be brought forth today and the Cubs pick up the win. We feel much more comfortable laying a little extra change on a young hurler who has been playing with confidence and shows great numbers consistently all year.
