Washington Nationals vs. Seattle Mariners
Play: Washington Nationals
No one at this point would have thought that the Nationals would have a better record than Seattle at this point in the season. Washington is by no means playing great baseball right now but it has gotten out of its horrible offensive slump that took place in eight of nine games prior to the recent three-game set at Pittsburgh. The Nationals are hitting .261 over their last 10 games which is a significant improvement of the season-long struggles. The pitching has not improved but is better in this matchup here.
Seattle took two of three in Toronto after losing two of three in Boston. The Mariners took that series with the Blue Jays despite scoring a total of six runs in the three games as this offense remains stagnate. Seattle is hitting .247 on the season which is 2nd to last in the American League and this is after hitting .287 a season ago, finishing just below the Yankees for best in baseball. The Mariners are five games under .500 at home and head into this one with losses in four straight at Safeco Field. Play Washington Nationals 1.5 Units

NY Mets at Texas Rangers
Mets snapped a 5 game losing streak by defeating Arizona, 5-3, on Tuesday. They open a new series up on Friday as they start Perez on the mound to host Texas. Going against the Favored Perez, who's been shelled for 12 Earned Runs during his last 12 Innings Pitched and he's a poor 4-9 as a home Favorite of -150 or more! Attack Dog... Good luck - Carlo Campanella

Boston Red Sox at Cincinnati Reds
The Red Sox may no longer be playing at home, where they've dominated just about everyone this year, but they are playing the National League, a group of foes they've dominated through for years now. Boston is a frightening 35-8 vs. the Senior Circuit over the last three seasons and sends unbeaten Justin Masterson to the hill tonight. Aaron Harang has been terrible for the Reds, losing three straight starts with a 9.39 ERA.
Play on: Boston

I’m not going to worry about listing pitchers in this one since I believe Florida will struggle after a tough and rugged series with Philadelphia, but we do have a huge edge with Andy Sonnanstine taking the hill for us tonight.
Coming in off a no-decision Saturday night in Texas after allowing two runs on six hits in five frames, Sonnanstine will certainly be hungry for a win in this Sunshine State battle since he hasn’t had one since May 16 at St. Louis.
A master of deception with the range of pitches he throws from different angles, the right-hander uses his fastball well to set up his other pitches. He’s 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in one career start against the Marlins. Lay the value chalk in this one as Tampa will easily outclass the Fish in this one.

Game: Colorado Rockies vs. Chicago White Sox
Prediction: Chicago White Sox
Reason: Gavin Floyd(7-3, 3.10 ERA) the Chicago White Sox starter tonight against the visiting Colorado Rockies , is starting to round into form,with his velocity at a season high. His pitching opponent Jeff Francis (2-6,5.45 ERA) is at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum , and despite of a couple of recent respectable performances , still looks like he is susceptible to a beat down. With Colorado struggling mightily on the road this season losing 23 of 32 games , it will not be a hard decision to back a Pale Hose team that has converted on 12 of their L/14 as home favorites. Final notes & Key Trends: Colorado is 2-8 L/10 interleague games. The White Sox have won 7 tilts in a row against the NL West.The Rockies are 9-28 on their L/37 road games in interleague action against an above .500 team. Play on the White Sox

GAME: Texas Rangers @ New York Mets
PICK: Texas Rangers
The Rangers are a far better offensive team than the Mets. Scott Feldman is pitching better than Oliver Perez. This line shows what reputations can mean in the marketplace.
The Met reputation remains high because of the pre-season expectations, but the bottom line is that they are 31-34, playing without key cogs Ryan Church and Moises Alou, and sending a below average starting pitcher and struggling bullpen to the mound to face one of the hottest lineups in the game. The Rangers are not just potent, but also patient, rating #4 in the Major?s in walks, and that puts them in good stead against Oilver Perez. who continues to labor in terms of finding the strike zone. Perez is also just 2-4/6.80 over eight appearances following that misleading good start to the season, with 33 walks over 43.1 innings in that span.
As for the bullpen, not only has the middle relief corps been inconsistent, but Billy Wagner has now blown three consecutive save opportunities, and off of 55 pitches the last two days is almost assuredly to be held out of this one. That means Willie Randolph has to roll a lot of dice in the latter innings to get this game home, particularly with Aaron Heilman also sidelined because of his fatigue rating (51 pitches in working each of the las three games).
Meanwhile Scott Feldman has not earned much respect with a 1-2/4.31, and those numbers are ordinary enough that few will take a deeper look. Yet for those that do there is value to be found. He has worked at least six full innings for seven straight starts, and over his last five sports a terrific WHIP of 1.09. But despite pitching that well, and having one of the best offenses in the game behind him, Feldman did not get a single win in that span. That gives us the best of it two different ways - we not only get an under-valued performer in the marketplace, but we also catching a timing element as the pendulums of the sport come into play.

For Friday take some coin back with the Marlins at the Trop.
Why not ? Carlos Pena is still out, Carl Crawford is suspended and the Rays are back home after being a grueling 3000 miles across the country in losing that series at Anaheim.
Andy Sonnanstine is in the midst of a solid season and Ryan Tucker is only making his second career start but to be honest with you Tucker may be the superior hurler of the two. The Florida righthander shut down the Reds in his first start last Sunday and that is not exactly an easy offense to just mow down with all of their tough lefties like Griffey, Dunn, Bruce and others.
Both of these teams have been very impressive this season and are in the thick of things in their respective divisions. I'm not sure that either truly have a chance to win the divisions with more pwerful teams like the Red Sox and Phillies around but neither is a joke either.
Ramirez, Uggla, Cantu, Jacobs and the fish have been overachieving for awhile and have a pretty darn good shot to win this game as well in their home state.
Plus this solid price is enough for me to give the Marlins a shot!

BREWERS -136 over Twins (Bush-Slowey)
Along with home field advantage, this is a simple bet on the Brewers. It's all about the pitching, Bush over Slowey. Except for the difference in pitchers, (and home field), the rest of these teams' stats appear to be roughly equal.
