As we stated earlier this week we will not chase the high price favorites as in the long run it is a losing proposition. Laying -150 to -190 you need to win 2 of 3 to show a small profit. Laying -200 and up you need to win 3 of 4. We aren't afraid to say when we lose, and we post when we do, just like when we win.
We don't advise you how much to bet, that's not our role. Our role is to help you win and succeed long term. Keep in mind that gambling runs in cycles, if it didn't Vegas and Offshore wouldn't exist. We won earlier this week with the Giants +142 against these same Diamondbacks, we see extreme value with Washington + the huge price tonight. Remember our pick is guaranteed, if it loses you get the next day free. Not to many services are going to offer a guarantee on a +204 selection. That's what separates us from the pretenders.

WUNDERDOG
Game: Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets
Pick: New York Mets -102
The Mets have had a lot of angst this season already - just ask Willie Randolph. After his meeting with management they seemed to be getting back on track, winning three straight. But they lost last night in the late innings. That loss dropped them below .500. This team remains motivated to keep winning and they are playing hard. We like them to bounce back today. Chad Billingsley has been pitching very well of late, but his overall body of work is average. Mike Pelfrey has not been pitching well, but at home this season he has been solid (3.60 ERA). The Dodgers get just 3.8 runs per game against RHP and their offense has produced only 2.9 runs per game over their last seven. They are just 4-11 this season against teams like the Mets that score 4.8+ runs per game. We'll back the home team here.

Rating: Guaranteed 60 Unit MLB Mismatch Of The Month
In this contest, my money is on the Chicago Cubs
Don't look now folks, but the Chicago Cubs are owners of the BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL. You heard that right! That includes a MLB-best 23-8 at home, where they are averaging over 6 RPG! Now they get to face former Cub Glendon Rusch, making his first start of the year, and Rusch just happens to be a left-hander. Why is that an important point to make. Because, the Cubs are 6-2 at home versus southpaw pitching, averaging an unheard of 8.25 rpg. WOW! Chicago will have Ryan Dempster on the hill and this guy has quietly put together a pretty impressive season thus far. The right-hander is 6-2 on the year and owns an ERA of 2.56. He has allowed just 48 hits in 70 1/3 innings of work and will be facing a Colorado team that owns the WORST RECORD IN BASEBALL, are 8-20 on the road, having lost nine straight away from home, and have been outscored during that stretch 70-29. Folks, that more than 4 runs per game! OUCH! Chicago is in fire and the Rockies are going in the opposite direction. This game is going to get ugly very, very quickly. Take the Cubbies in this one.

6.5-Unit Play. Take Over 9.0 Pittsburgh at St. Louis
Note: This is our Total of the Month.
This one has all the makings of a big one. First, we have a good number. I love that its under double-digits when I had it as a 10.5. Next, we have two shaky starters. One kid Mike Parisi is making his first career MLB start, while the other is Paul Maholm, a known piata. We also have two very shaky bullpens if the starters dont make it deep into the game, which I dont expect them to. Thats the ace in the hole. Pittsburghs team ERA is 6.12 on the road and 5.95 over the last week. The over is 23-8-3 in Pittsburghs last 34 road games and is 49-15-4 in their last 68 games following a loss. Further, the over is 10-3-1 in Maholms last 14 divisional starts and is 5-1 in his last six road starts. Further, the over is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings between these teams and 4-1 in the last five in St. Louis.
We also have all the intangibles. The wind is blowing out to left field and it should be a warm evening. Next, we have Joe West behind the dish and the over is 10-2 in this last 12 St. Louis games. The over is 7-3-2 in his last 12 behind the dish overall and teams have scored in double digits in eight of the 12 games hes been behind the plate this year. In fact, only one game has seen less than eight runs scored in it and I was watching that one a couple weeks ago. It didnt stay under because of him. West has issued an average of 8.5 walks per game over his last six and has seen an average of 27 base runners over his last seven. Im looking for runs, baby, and I think this could be a great place to find them.
