AFTERNOON BASEBALL TOTALS WINNER
At 4:10pm our selection is on the St Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks 'under' the total. It's hard to imagine that multiple-Cy Young winner and certain future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson could be in need of anything these days. But the fact is that the 6'10" veteran lefthander is very much in the need of some run support right now. Despite pitching perhaps better than he has all season, Johnson is winless in his last three starts, and the Diamondbacks have lost four of his last five trips to the mound dating back to the beginning of August. During these five games, the D-Backs have only scored a total of 12 runs and they were shut out in two of the contests. And Johnson has a superb 2.88 ERA in those 5 games, and has struck out 41 in 34 1/3 innings! Righty Joel Pineiro has been in the league for almost 10 years now, and even though he has spent most of the last two seaons in the NL (and had Interleague starts before that), Pineiro has never faced the Diamondbacks before today. Pineiro has been pitching much better recently. In his last three starts for the Cards, he's 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA, and he looks to extend that win streak this afternoon in what is going to be the beginning of a very important series for both of these teams. Arizona and St. Louis are both locked in race for the post-season, and the D-Backs just bettered their team by acquiring shortstop David Eckstein from the Toronto Blue Jays. Coincidentally, if Eckstein is in uniform today, he will be facing the team that he won a World Series MVP with in 2006 (and his second Series ring). Five of Arizona's last seven home games have gone a total of eight or fewer runs, and 17 of St. Louis' road games vs. lefties have gone 'under'. Look for a low-scoring game this afternoon.
Players of America
Houston Astros vs. Chicago Cubs
The Play: Chicago Cubs -125.0
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
Happy Labor Day. Its now time to fly back into things starting with some MLB. We've been pretty off of our game for a good few weeks now, but this is the time of the year that lines start to tighten, and money starts being made. This holiday, Monday, brings a nice little card to us from some hardball action...
For our first play we're heading to Wrigley Field where the Cubs play host to the visiting Astros at 4:05PM EST. The Cubbies come in losing their last outing, but a division best at 85-51. The Stros come in pretty much out of all post season contention at 70-66.
Right hander Jason Marquis will toe the rubber for Chicago. Marquis is a good anchor in this Cub's rotation. He is 9-7 overall. Jason is 2-0 his last three times out with a WHIP of 1.12 and an ERA of right around 3.00. The Cubbies have been on an absolute heater their last ten games going 8-2 with a team batting average of nearly .300. These two teams have slugged it out a ton of times already this year, and there are no secrets to be held. Both of these skippers know their opponent so hard nosed baseball will be seen at its best.
On the other side, Roy Oswalt is the scheduled starter for Houston. Roy has been pretty inconsistent thus far this season. He is an OK 12-9 overall, with an ERA of 4.11. Roy hasn't had much help offensively when pitching and Houston has dropped ten of their last 14 when he starts. Houston is 5-5 in their last ten total games, and Chicago flat out needs this one more.
A mid day game at Wrigley is no joke. Its never easy to play in Chicago, and the Cubs coming off a loss have something for this city to finally get excited about...post season play. Chicago is the play here. Lay the small home chalk on the favorite because that's what we'll be doing for a 1* / 10 unit wager this afternoon.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
- The Astros are 4-10 in Oswalt's last 14 road starts
- The Cubs are 7-2 in their last 9 Monday games
- The Cubs are 50-17 in their last 67 home games
- The Cubs are 54-26 in their last 80 games on grass
Chicago 6, Houston 2
Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers
The Play: Texas Rangers -155.0
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
Finally, we'll be on the Rangers for a nighttime affair on Monday. Texas plays host to the Seattle Mariners at 8:05PM EST. The Mariners are coming off a road win, Texas too. Post season play is clearly out the window for either team here tonight, but that doesn't mean some good, hardcore baseball isn't going to be played in Tejas.
Lefty Matt Harrison will start for the Rangers. Matt is 6-3 overall this season, 2-1 in his last three. His last three games he has looked very, very sharp. He has gone 18 total innings giving up just 15 hits along with a WHIP of 1.14 and an ERA of just 2.95. No secrets in this Texas line up as we all know. We've played these guys a few times, and they've really been a cash cow for us all season long. The league's number one offense may not be a contender, but they are competitors.
Ah, Seattle. Seattle, Seattle, Seattle. This is one of the worst baseball teams to walk the planet. It sounds bad, but its true. The Mariners stroll in at 52-83 overall on the season, 24-42 on the road. To make matters worse, they put their worst heaver in Carlos Silva on the mound against this dynamite offense of Texas. Silva is an atrocious 4-14 overall in 140 innings, giving up 191 hits with a WHIP of 1.51 and an ERA of 6.36. Eek. He is 0-2 his last three times out with a WHIP of 1.94 and an ERA of 9.56. No joke...9.56 in three games. Not a good spot to "turn things around" for Carlos here tonight. On top of the starter woes, Seattle has been worse than bad in the bullpen. The pen has accumulated an ERA of 7.22 in their last three games, and a WHIP of 1.77. There has got to be little or no confidence in this clubhouse, and the city all around when it comes to baseball. A pretty sad story.
Anyways, Texas minus the juice is the play here tonight. A 1* / 10 unit wager on the fellas at home over the league's worst...and it could get ugly.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
- The Mariners are 2-7 in their last 9 road games
- The Mariners are 3-7 in their last 10 meetings with the Rangers
- The Mariners are 18-41 in their last 59 meetings with the Rangers
Texas 11, Seattle 5
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
The Play: Under 9.0
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
Next we're going across the country to Arizona. The Diamondbacks host the Cardinals at 4:10PM EST. You want to talk about a team that needs to win, Arizona is that team. These guys have looked like a little league team these past few days and they truthfully can't afford that with their current position. In any sense, we'll be on the total in this one.
The UNDER looks too good not to bite on here. Neither one of these teams can hit as of late, and why should things change right now. Nine runs just doesn't seem possible. Both of these squads have been stringing games together by playing defense and four and a half runs from each side is asking A LOT. Joel Pineiro and Randy Johnson are the scheduled starters for this afternoon's action. Both have winning records and both have very similar statistics all the way around. The Unit has kept games under the quoted figure 13 times already this season, Pineiro nine. Both bullpens do a fair job coming in relief...so it really comes down to offense here.
It just doesn't seem probable. There are no names in either line up here today that shout runs...or even hits for that matter. We've been keeping a close eye on this Diamondback team these past few weeks, and they have no chance to make any sort of noise at the rate their going. Defense may win championships, but no one has ever won a championship 0-0. With that being said, the UNDER is the no brainer here. A 1* / 10 unit wager on the total staying under nine runs.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
- The UNDER is 6-2 in Johnson's last 8 Monday games
- The UNDER is 13-6-1 in Johnson's last 20 Monday games
Arizona 2, St. Louis 1
Fresno State Bulldogs vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights
The Play: Fresno State Bulldogs +4.0
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
One little NCAA football play for Monday, and its between the Fresno State Bulldogs and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This is a set up game for Rutgers, and Fresno State is going to come out firing on the road today.
The Bulldogs are one pretty, darn good team. They went into Georgia Tech last year and handed the Yellow Jacket's their own rear end, and then went to New Mexico State and pulled out a 30-23 win there too. They held their own with the explosive Hawaii Warriors, and went on to defeat Utah State, San Jose State, Idaho, Nevada and Louisiana Tech. It is in no way out of line to say that this Fresno team is capable of big, big things this season...including a WAC championship.
Rutgers is Rutgers. They are and always will have a legit to good football program, but they've lost A LOT this past season. Consistency is going to be a HUGE question mark with this squad, along with depth and maturity all the way around.
This short line by Vegas seems to beg for Scarlet Knight action. The value on the money line here is tremendous, but we're going to grab the points just to be safe. Opening at +5, the line has already been driving down to 4 in a lot of places, exposing smart money alerts world wide. We'll jump on the Fresno Bulldog wagon for this one. A 1* / 10 unit wager on the Bulldogs as they take care of business on the road, snatching up win number one.

Philadelphia -155
The Phillies took the last 2 games in Chicago and they know that the next few days will be very big for their playoff hopes. The Mets go into Milwaukee while the Phillies get the Nats who are in last place in the East. If Philly doesn't pick up any ground over the next few days it will be a big factor in why they ultimately make or miss the playoffs. This afternoon is a great matchup for them as Kendrick who has been consistent this year faces Tim Redding. With Utley, Rollins and Howard starting to hit all at the same time that spells success for the Phillies. We see Philadelphia building off the momentum of their big series win in Chicago and hammering the Nats today in our NL Game of the Year 9-2!

Los Angeles is 9-3 their last 12 home games and they are 16-7 their last 23 Monday games. San Diego starter Chris Young is coming off his second stint on the DL and will most likely be on the dreaded pitch count. The Padres are 17-39 their last 56 road games and they are 3-10 in the last 13 road starts made by Young. San Diego is 1-8 their last 9 games when playing Game 1 of a series.
