Detroit over Orlando* by 3
Lose Billups after only 4 minutes, in the game where Orlando was the desperate, 0-2 subject that situational circumstances revolve around, and lose all chance to win. Get two full days to prepare for the possibility of not having Billups, or, get him back, and regain big chance to win. DETROIT, 94-91.

LA ANGELS (Saunders) +115 over TAMPA BAY (Kazmir)
Joe Saunders has been one of the big surprises in 2008, leading the Angels to victories in all seven of his starts (+$720, 2.61) and keeping his team afloat despite the absence of Lackey & Escobar from the LA rotation. He should fare well against a Tampa team that is averaging just 3.7 runs per game against lefties. Scott Kazmir made an inauspicious return to the mound last Sunday (6.75 ERA, 4 innings pitched),so it's hard to understand why he's favored today. LA is 5-1 vs. southpaws so far (+$390) and they check in with a 12-7 record in road games (+$565). Grab the underdog price on the visitor today.

Philadelphia at San Francisco UNDER 8
Both teams have .254 BAs, but the Giants have big problems moving runners around -- they have scored the second-fewest runs in MLB. The Phillies and Giants batters have struck out fourth- and fifth-most frequently, and Lincecum (certainly not Moyer) is a strikeout pitcher. Giants' pinch-hitters are batting .217 with the second-most plate appearances, the team's On-Base Percentage of .312 is second-lowest in the NL next to the San Diego slackers, and the Phillies' bullpen has the lowest Bullpen ERA in baseball (2.68). Lincecum has allowed only one home run in 42 innings pitched this season.

Florida Marlins vs. Washington Nationals
The Florida Marlins and the Washington Nationals continue their series today in Washington. This may not be your prime time Saturday match-up but it is a perfect chance to pick up a win. The Marlins are hot, they have won their last 5 games. They have played well on the road. The Marlins have a history of playing well against the Nationals as they have won 8 of the last 9 times they met. Florida is the highest scoring team in the league for road games averging 5.29 runs a game. The Nationals surrender runs at home at an alarming 5.26 runs a game rate. Look for this trend to continue as the Nationals are sending Michael O’Connor to the mound who hasn’t registered a start since 2006. Washington just does not have the bats to keep up as they are the lowest scoring team in the league only scoring 4 runs a game. Take the fish to win this one.
