5* Road Warrior Game of the Year :
Play the Tigers
Tigers (969) at Astros: A first place team against a Houston team battling it out with Pittsburgh for last place. Houston is 14th in the NL in runs scored. That is a bad sign against a hard throwing ace like Justin Verlander (8-3, 3.31 ERA). He has 118 strikeouts in 98 innings and has faced the Astros once in his career, shutting them down on 3 hits (7 Ks, no walks). Detroit is in first place and on a 7-game win streak. Houston has a losing record both home and away and will struggle to score against the Tiger ace and the vastly improved and stable Detroit pen.
Play the Tigers.

4-Star Major Mound Mismatch :
Play the Red Sox
4* (965) Red Sox at Braves: Boston's stumble in Washington last night isn't a worry. The Red Sox have won 16 of 22 games. You can't win them all, and they had a bad game while getting a rusty John Smoltz in the lineup (who was tagged early). They outscored Washington 17-7 in rolling in the first two games and have been hot all month. Since June 6, DH David Ortiz is batting .357 with a .480 on-base percentage and an .833 slugging percentage. And they can start a new winning streak with ace Josh Beckett (8-3) on the hill, who is throwing hard and very well. He is showing that last season's late slump was a mirage (an injury, really). Beckett has already faced the Braves once this season, and shut them out on 5 hits. This Atlanta offense is suspect, 11th in the NL in runs. Jair Jurrjens is slumping, as the team is 0-4 his last four starts.

3-Star Situational Slammer
Play the Phillies
3* (957) Phillies at Jays: Philadelphia is still in first place despite a skid, losing a pair of games by one run. They are getting healthy, with Ryan Howard back from a short illness, plus Phillies closer Brad Lidge has been reinstated from the 15-day disabled list. Ace Cole Hamels will have his next start moved up to this game. The move will allow Hamels to make four starts instead of three before the All-Star Break. He's also hot, as the team is 5-2 his last 7 starts. In those two defeats Hamels pitched great baesball, giving up 2 runs apiece in two starts, covering 14 innings, only 2 walks and 16 strikeouts. Yeah, he's back as an ace. Toronto has been so banged up with injuries to the pitching staff that it is having a domino effect, taxing the pen. Starter Ricky Romero allows more hits than innings pitched and I see the Phillies rolling, with a DH added to their already dynamite lineup.

Friday's Trifecta ...
600♦ RANGERS RUN LINE (As long as Millwood is your Texas pitcher at the time of bet, you're fine) - Texas finished up in a thriller in Arizona last night while the Padres were in the Emerald City. And since the Rangers found their offense in the desert, and we’re dealing with one of the worst teams in the league – both offensively and defensively – I’m going to lay the run line in this one in Arlington and expect the Rangers to blow things out for us.We’re going up against Walter Silva, who wasn't exactly sharp in his last start last Saturday against the A's - his first start since enduring a forearm strain in April. Silva, who rehabbed at Triple-A Portland, allowed three runs in 5-1/3 innings on five hits while walking two against a bleak lineup like Oakland’s. Now we’re talking about one of the most potentially lethal lineups in the league.
Remember, Texas led the majors with 901 runs last season, and thought this year’s team ranks 15th in the league it has a better record this season. And the fact it is scoring nearly a full run less per game, I think we’re going to see a nice little run by this team right up to the All-Star Break.Warming up against the Diamondbacks was perfect for this weekend set with the Padres, who have lost 17 of 24.And once we have the lead in this one, we’ll have Kevin Millwood stifling the worst hitting team in the league. The Padres’ batting average is .236 will be up against a right-hander who is 3-1 with a 0.94 ERA in his last four starts. Millwood is 5-1 with a 2.08 ERA in eight starts at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.And in the event he gets into trouble, he’s shown a knack for working out of jams, as opponents are hitting a bleak .188 against him with runners in scoring position, including .111 with two outs. The veteran hurler is also 5-1 with a 2.95 ERA against the Padres in 13 career starts and has a 29-12 mark with a 3.01 ERA in 56 games (55 starts) in his career against National League West teams.We pick our spots boys, and tonight is the right time for a
600♦ Blowout Winner.
Take the Rangers on the run line as they drill the visiting Padres with no problem whatsoever.
100♦ ANGELS RUN LINE (LIST Weaver and Buckner) - In doing radio last Sunday, I mentioned how surprised I was at watching Jered Weaver become emotionally detached in the dugout after unraveling against the Dodgers. Facing his older brother, Jeff, for the first time, the younger Weaver had his worst outing of the season, giving up more than four runs for the first time in 14 starts. Lasting just 5-1/3 innings, Weaver surrendered six earned runs on 10 hits and three walks. To put it in perspective, he had given up six earned runs at home in his previous 53-2/3 innings this season. Weaver, who is facing Arizona for the first time, will be pissed off for this one, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Arizona get shut out.
100♦ DODGERS RUN LINE (LIST Kershaw) - I think we’ve seen Clayton Kershaw find a nice rhythm in his last two starts, in which he has thrown 12-2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, including seven shutout innings against the Angels last Sunday. He remained poised in overcoming a bases-loaded, no-out jam and four walks, while he's been showing that potential dominance managers hope to see in 21-year-olds. It’s not normal, but this kid has it. The best way to describe him is the same way Angels center fielder Torii Hunter portrayed him: "effectively wild." Seattle won’t stand a chance in this one, as the Dodgers will rip the M’s at Chavez Ravine, while Kershaw will hold serve for us
