Drew Gordon

Toronto -120 at TEXAS

After a tough 9-8 loss last night to the Rangers, looking for the Jays to bounce back strong here tonight, and they've got just the pitcher to do it in the surging A.J. Burnett.

Even since his days with the Marlins, we always knew Burnett had the talent, but he also had an uncanny ability to burn your bankroll with inconsistency. Lately though, he's really put it together, going 3-1 with a lockdown 1.32 ERA over his last 4 starts! He was dominant in his last one, allowing 1 unearned run to the Rays over 7 innings, striking out 10! Although his career numbers versus Texas are somewhat poor (0-2 with a 4.40 ERA), there's no question if any Jays' pitcher (not named Halladay) can shut down this high-powered Rangers offense, it'll be Burnett.

Opposing Burnett is the Rangers Scott Feldman, who's last two starts in Arlington have been absolute garbage, allowing 13 runs over his last 9 2/3 innings to the Angels and Mariners respectively! Guys, we're talking about a pitcher who's 1-0 with a 4.44 ERA in 8 home starts this season, so clearly the edge goes to Burnett and the Jays.

Finally, despitethe Rangers obviously having the edge at the plate, the Blue Jays bats came back to life yesterday (like many teams against the atrocious Rangers pitching staff). They had a nice run going last week, but fell silent in their series with Tampa Bay's surging staff (no surprise there). Look for Toronto to hit Feldman and company well in this one, improving on their 4.5 runs per game average against righties away this season. While on the flip side, A.J. Burnett takes care of business in this one!

Take Toronto behind Burnett over Texas and Feldman in this MLB match up

2♦ TORONTO

Michael Cannon

LA Angels at NY YANKEES -135

Take the Yankees for the home win this afternoon over the Angels.

Los Angeles has been on a hell of a run lately, but it’s time for it to end.

The Yankees know they can’t afford too many more setbacks as they currently sit 5 ½ games behind the Rays in the AL East and 2 ½ games behind the Red Sox in the wild card standings.

Mike Mussina will start for the Yankees and he was 3-0 with a 1.04 ERA in his previous four starts before allowing six runs in five innings of a 13-4 loss to the Orioles on Monday.

The right-hander is 15-9 with a 3.71 ERA in his career against the Angels.

Los Angeles will start Jered Weaver, who has been good with a 3-1 mark and a 2.43 ERA in his last six starts.

But I’m banking on the Yankees lineup bouncing back after being shut out last night and to chase Weaver early.

Take the Yankees as they grab the home win.

2♦ NY YANKEES

ASA 7* AL GAME OF THE YEAR

Los Angeles + over New York

The last game which the Angels faced the Yankees with Mike Mussina on the mound resulted in am 18-9 rout as Mussina left the game in the second inning. Los Angeles took the first game of this series at Yankee Stadium and last season Los Angeles won two thirds of the games overall including winning four games in New York. The Angels made a big upgrade at the trade deadline to extend their MLB best record and Los Angeles has more road wins than the Yankees have wins at home.

Mussina pitched well for most July but was hit hard in his last start allowing six runs in five innings. On the season Mussina has been a much better pitcher away from home as his walk and home run totals increase dramatically at home. The Yankees own a solid home record but recent games have shown some vulnerability with a losing series to Baltimore and a blowout loss in game 1 of this series. The Angels are 9-1-1 in the last eleven road series.

Jered Weaver owns an ERA of 2.43 over his last six starts and the Angels have won four of his last six starts on the road. Opponents are hitting just .206 over his last six starts and the Angels have won in New York each of the last two times that Weaver has pitched against the Yankees. Over the last ten games the Angels are hitting .320 while averaging over seven runs per game and Mark Texeira was just added in the most recent games. Look for the Angels to deliver the road win tonight as the best team in baseball has only gotten stronger.

Gina

Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals

The Royals have been on a roll, but have problems playing the White Sox. Chicago has won nine of their last 12 games versus Kansas City and seven of the last 10 in Kansas City, including Friday's 4-2 victory. Go with the White Sox. Chicago has won four of Buehrle's last 5 starts against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Chicago White Sox -145

JOHN RYAN

Los Angeles Angels at New York Yankees
Prediction: Los Angeles Angels

Reason: Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Anaheim ? Let?s face it Anaheim is by far the more complete team and arguably the best in baseball. Their road record is by far the best in MLB. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 44-31 making 33 units since 2002. Play against home teams with a hot starting pitcher posting an ERA less than 3.00 over his last 10 games and with a struggling bullpen whose ERA is over 7.00 the last 5 games. Weaver has not given up 3 or more earned runs in his past 7 starts. AiS shows an 85% probability that he will complete 6 IP or more and should that occur the Angels have an 82% probability of winning the game. Angels are also 18-5 (+13.7 Units) against the money line versus good fielding teams averaging <=0.6 errors/game in the second half of the season this season. Take the Angels.

Gold Medal Club

Arizona @ Los Angeles
PLAY OVER 7.5

The last 2 games in this series of 2-1 scores look more like hockey scores, but that changes tonight and for good reason. We get into the weaker part of both teams rotations. Petit has yet to start a game on the road, and is only good for 5 innings. Kuroda who goes for the Dodgers has hit the wall. In his last 3 starts he has failed to make it into the 4th inning and has a 13.11 era..ouch! The bats will rule tonight!

TONY KARPINSKI

Cleveland Indians vs. Minnesota Twins
Play: Minnesota Twins

This is a play against Byrd. The Indians are 2-10 in Byrd's last 12 road starts, 3-15 in Byrd's last 18 starts as a road underdog of +110 to +150, and 0-6 in Byrd's last 6 starts during game 2 of a series. The Indians are awful on the road and are just 10-28 in their last 38 road games and 6-20 in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning record. The Twins are 7-1 in Slowey's last 8 starts and we are backing the Twinkies on Saturday Night. Play on the TWINS

MIKE ANTHONY

Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals
Play: Washington Nationals

This is a good spot to take the Nats against a struggling Reds club. Washington is an impressive 28-13 against the money line in home games when playing against a team with a losing record in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons and 32-19 against the money line in home games vs. NL teams allowing 4.8 or more runs/game in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Cincy is a pathetic 18-43 against the money line vs. terrible power teams - averaging 0.75 or less HR's/game over the last 2 seasons and 6-16 against the money line vs. an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 to 4.20 this season. Bergmann has been much better than his numbers might indicate and I like him here against a weakened Reds lineup.

TOM FREESE

New York at Houston

Houston is 24-8-1 UNDER their last 33 games when playing Game 2 of a series and they are 11-5 UNDER on Saturday. The Astros are 6-2-1 UNDER in the last 9 starts made by Roy Oswalt and they are 7-3 UNDER their last 10 games with the Mets. New York is 11-2-2 UNDER their last 15 games as favorites of -110 to -150 and they are 4-1-1 UNDER their last 6 games when playing Game 2 of a series. The Mets are 6-2 UNDER their last 8 Saturday games and they are 5-2 UNDER when Johan Santana is off a quality start. PLAY ON 'UNDER'
