Jim Feist

ARI D'backs and PIT Pirates
Take ARI D'backs

Neither of these pitchers has ever lost to the opponent, a combined 5-0 record against each other. However, the similarities for this season end there. Pittsburgh starter Ian Snell is having a tough season at 2-5 and he.5?s been awful the last three starts, with an 0-3 record and a 9 ERA. Arizona looks to get on a hot streak and goes with ace Brandon Webb, who is 10-2 with a 2.69 ERA. "The off day is coming at a good time for us," manager Bob Melvin said. "Then we can move on to Pittsburgh where we've played a little better." Play the Diamondbacks!

Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox continue to dominate at Fenway this year following Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rays (was VE Tip of the Day). That brought the defending World Champs to 24-5 at home this year, a mark that includes a perfect 14-0 record if favored between -125 and -175, which is the situation they're in tonight agianst lowly Seattle, a team that is 0-13 off BB Overs! Bartolo Colon has looked sharp since returning, winning all three starts, including one over the Mariners.

Play on: Boston

Carlo Campanella

Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox
Prediction: Boston Red Sox

Reason: Boston (37-25) hosts Seattle (21-39) on Friday evening knowing that they're an awesome 17-3 at home against A.L. teams averaging 4.7 Runs per game or less this season! With Seattle losing 5 of their last 6 games and just 7-20 on the road this year, Boston improves to 18-3 in this role...Great way to add value to Parlays.

JOHN RYAN

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Detroit Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 56-34 and has made 24.8 units since 2002. Play on home teams with an on base percentage of .300 or worse over their last 10 games and with a struggling bullpen whose ERA is over 7.00 the last 5 games. Indians starter Byrd not in good form posting a 7.72 ERA both on the road and over his last 3 starts. In 6 road starts he has allowed 26 ER and 10 HR in just 30.3 IP. In his last 3 starts he has allowed 24 hits, 14 ER, and 4 HR while recording just 2 Ks in 16.3 IP. Detroit starter Verlander may finally be finding his all-star form posting a 2.70 ERA and a 1.200 WHIP allowing just 1 HR in his last 3 starts spanning 20 IP. Cleveland is not in a good role for this game noting that they are 7-13 (-10.2 Units) against the money line versus a poor bullpen whose ERA is 4.50 or worse this season; 2-8 (-8.5 Units) against the money line versus terrible speed teams that are averaging 0.35 or less SB's/game this season; 5-12 -10.9 units when the total is 9 or 9.5 this season. Detroit?s skipper Leyland is in a strong role as he is 25-13 in all games managed after batting 225 or worse over a 10 game span; 31-16 after a game where his team did not have an extra base hit. Take the Tigers.

ALEX SMART

San Francisco Giants vs. Washington Nationals
Prediction: Under

Tim Linceum(7-1,2.23 ERA) the San Francisco Giants starting pitcher has been extremely consistent this season , as is evident by not allowing no more than 3 ERS in any of his 10 overall starts. This kid is a star in the making, and is currently one of my top rated throwers in my power ranking system. He is backed by a viable bull pen with a 3.68 road ERA. His pitching opponent Jason Bergman is also currently in top form, allowing a total of just 4 Ers in his last 20 + innings of work, for a stingy 1.74 ERA. His biggest problem remains, his own teams lackluster offense, especially when facing right handers like Linceum. Note: The Nationals are hitting righties for a lowly .219 BA on the season. Bottom line: Two light hitting offenses, and two quality work horse pitchers, makes for what I think will be a low scoring snooze fest. Final notes & Key Trends: Washington has gone under in 11 of 13 games against right handers this season, with the average combined score clicking in at 6.8 RPG. Play under

KARL GARRETT

Arizona -200 at PITTSBURGH

Tonight, the G-Man feels the Arizona Diamondbacks are about ready to explode, and end a 3-game losing streak. The Snakes have been bad on the road this year, of that there is no doubt, but it looks like Brandon Webb is about to go on another tear, as the righty is off a complete game shutout of Washington, and is 10-2 for the year with an ERA of 2.69.

Ian Snell will counter, and his line the last couple of games ain't pretty; 13 runs allowed in his last 9 innings of work for a pair of losses.

For the year, Snell is just 2-5 with a 5.94 ERA. I get the feeling Arizona is about ready to bust out for a big game at the plate, and I can see Webb throwing another complete game with just 1 or 2 runs scoring at most.

Run Line play on Arizona tonight.

SPORTS GAMBLING HOTLINE

Tampa Bay -125 at TEXAS

Tonight we like Tampa Bay to end their 3-game slide with the easy win at Texas.

The Rays have struggled on the road this season, and their 3-game sweep the wrong way at Fenway has knocked them out of first place, so expect Tampa to be in a little bit of a prickley mood tonight when they hit the field.

Tampa Bay just took 2 of 3 off of Texas at the Trop, and pitcher Scott Kazmir earned one of those wins by going 7 innings, and allowing 1 earned run to score.

For the year, Kazmir has been nothing short of brilliant, as he is 5-1 with an ERA of 1.22.

Vincente Padilla counters, and his last start came on May 27th, as he worked 6 innings of 5 run ball in a win over Tampa. Padilla has been dealing with a family matter, and has spent some time out of the country. Our feeling is, Padilla's mind may be a little distracted, and with the Rays itching to end their current slide, things could get rough on the righty.

Play on Tampa.

5* TAMPA BAY

Nelly

Philadelphia + over Atlanta

The Phillies are an awfully hot team to be dogged this significantly as Philadelphia has won 12 of the last 16 games. The Phillies own a winning record on the road this season and the offense is scoring nearly 6.9 runs per game in this stretch of 16 games. The Braves own a fantastic home record at 25-8 but the Braves have been playing a lot of close games lately. Tim Hudson has historically started to fade in June and he owns a 4-10 record in his last 14 June decisions. The Braves are hitting just .246 in the last ten games and Philadelphia has won four of the last five head-to-head meetings. The Phillies are 8-4 when Jamie Moyer starts and he is capable of delivering a great performance today, backed up by a great bullpen and an explosive offense.

MATT FARGO

The Giants head to the east coast to start a four-game set with Washington. San Francisco is coming off a series loss at home to the Mets but the offense showed a big spark in that series, averaging 6.3 rpg in that three-game series. The Giants are 8-6 over their last 14 games as the pitching has allowed three runs or fewer in half of those games while the offense has scored six or more runs in half as well. San Francisco has won six of its last eight road games heading into Friday. Washington snapped a four-game skid with a victory over the Cardinals last night in the second game of its doubleheader. It was just the fifth win in the last 15 games for the Nationals who have not won back-to-back games since May 18th and 19th. The offense exploded for 10 runs in Game Two after scoring a total of two runs in the last four games. Washington is hitting .234 on the season including .236 at home, both of which are dead last in all of baseball. All Tim Lincecum does is throw quality outings. He has tossed 11 straight quality starts and his lone non-quality effort came in a relief appearance in his first game of the season against the Dodgers. The Giants have won his last three starts and are 8-3 overall including a 4-1 record on the road. Lincecum?s ERA actually dips from 2.23 to 1.72 on the road where he has allowed no home runs. He faced Washington once last season, allowing just one run in seven innings of work. Jason Bergmann came back to reality in his last start as he allowed four runs in eight innings against Arizona. The outing wasn?t horrible but all four of those runs came on solo home runs. He had gone three straight starts without allowing a run but Washington came away with just one win during that span and that was a 1-0 nail biter. Bergmann has a 5.03 ERA at home this season and the Nationals are 0-3 in his three home start, in part because the offense has averaged just 2.3 rpg in those contests.

MATT RIVERS

For Friday take the Phils at Turner Field

Can I really trust Jamie Moyer? No

Is Moyer old and clearly inferior to Tim Hudson? Yes

Can the Braves win this game? Certainly

But with the above said I will gladly back the red hot and rolling Phillies at this price. Rollins, Utley and Howard are great great lefty bats that can tee off against any righty on the planet right now. If Hudson is on he can be nasty and limit the damage but Charlie Manual's squad is awesome and a full 10 games over .500 for a reason.

Moyer is a crafty lefty that maxes out at about 86 mph or so these days. he's not going to fool many hitters at all and can get ripped a new one by Chipper, Teixeia, Francouer and the solid Braves but the southpaw has also been there and done that and has enough to holds his own in this spot. Talent wise Hudson is obviously much better but I can see six good enough innings from Moyer and the Fightin' Phils bats help him out.

Bobby Cox' squad has been brilliant at home this season and definitely should be formidable here but this is no worse than a 50-50 proposition as we are getting money back with the hotter and better team right now. Therefore I'll take some money here witht he visitors from the City of Brotherly Love!
