Philadelphia +125 vs Boston
Play: Philadelphia w/Blanton
The Phillies host the Red Sox when they send Joe Blanton to the hill in the opener of this three games series tonight. Blanton enters tonight contest in great KW form with 4 walks and 22 strikeouts in his last there starts. He has also come up a winner in 14 of his last 18 team starts, including 9 of his last 11 at home. With Boston off a big series with the Yankees and Blanton owning a 3.24 career ERA in four home starts against the Red Sox, look for the defending world champs to hold serve here tonight.

Tigers -127
The Pirates have been a bankroll burner going 16-39 in their last 55 interleague games. Tonight they get to face rookie Rick Porcello who has been pitching like a veteran. He has a 6-4 record with a 3.98 ERA this season. His last two starts he gave up seven earned runs against two upper tier American League offenses of the Red Sox and Angels. He now gets to bounce back against the lower class Pittsburgh offense. In his interleague debut vs.Colorado he dominated allowing just 1 earned run in six innings on the hill in the victory earlier this year. The Tigers are 42-11 in their last 53 interleague games as a favorite.
They should have no problem hitting Ian Snell tonight. The Pirates are just 1-7 in Snells last eight interleague starts. Snell is just 1-6 on the season with a 5.54 ERA and a shaky 45 to 36 strike out to walk ratio. Snell has given up 22 hits and 14 earned runs in his last 17 innings on the mound. Snell has also lost 15 of his last 18 home starts as dog. We have no problem laying the short chalk tonight with an above .500 American League squad vs. the 28-32 Pirates

MLB Super Pick Play! - Friday 6/12:
Play On: Detroit w/Porcello vs Snell
Note: The Tigers and the Pirates square off in the opener of this three games series when Rick Porcello meets Ian Snell in a matchup of pitchers going in opposite directions in Pittsburgh tonight. Porcello has won 6 of his last 7 team starts while Snell has dropped 7 of his last 9 efforts. With Snell in bad KW form with 9 walks and 7 strikeouts in his last three starts, look for the Pirates to fall to 1-8 on Fridays, their worst day of the week this season, here tonight.

Matt Fargo
Padres at Angels
Pick: Padres +180
I think this line is a little too high-priced for the Angels who are just a game and a half better than the Padres with their overall records. Matt Palmer returns to the rotation for Los Angels and while his 5-0 record is certainly impressive, he is not a starter who deserves this sort of credit with this line. Only two of his seven starts on the season have been quality outings and his ERA remains over 4.00 where it has been over his last four outings. This will be his first appearance since May 30th and while the time off may be considered good for some, that should not be the case here. The Padres are 7-3 in their last 10 Interleague road games against a right-handed starter. San Diego hopes to get another similar outing from Chad Gaudin just like the one in his last road start as he allowed just one run in 6.1 innings against the Rockies. His last start was not a good one as he gave up five runs in five innings against Arizona, the second time this season he was shelled by the Diamondbacks. Take those games away as well as a rough outing against the Dodgers and his season is not all that bad. His biggest problem has been starting during the day where his ERA is at 6.85 in four starts but that drops to 3.13 in four starts under the lights. The Padres are 7-1 in their last eight games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game while the Angels are 0-4 in their last four games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. 5* San Diego Padres
