Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays
Total 9½ un-120 at spbook15* Boston/Toronto UNDER 9.5
The Red Sox offense is only putting up 3 runs per game over their last seven and then there is Toronto only scoring 3.4 over their last seven. Neither offense is clicking and there should be some decent pitching today. Ricky Romero has a 1.38 ERA at home this year while Jon Lester has struggled this season, but he just pitched a gem against the Blue Jays a little over a week ago when he gave up just a single run in 6.3 innings. I think runs will probably be hard to come by today. MLB | May 31 '09 (4:05p)
St. Louis Cardinals vs San Francisco Giants
San Francisco Giants +140 at sia15* San Francisco Giants +140
I'll take the Giants here this afternoon over the Cardinals. San Fran has scored 4.6 runs per game over their last seven while hitting .271. Compare that to the Cardinals who have scored just 3.6 runs per game on .230 hitting. St. Louis has struggled all year against left-handed pitching, scoring just 3.7 runs per game on .234 hitting. The Giants have won four in a row and will be sending Jonathan Sanchez to the hill, a guy who has a 2.42 ERA in four home starts. Sure Adam Wainwright is throwing well right now, but the edge here goes to the home underdog. MLB | May 31 '09 (8:05p)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Dodgers +131 at jamaica15* LA Dodgers +131
The Dodgers are the best team in baseball right now, so catching them at an underdog price here tonight seems like a great value to me. This team is 11-4, scoring 6.3 runs per game and hitting .302 this year against left-handed starters and they are hitting .310 while scoring 6.6 runs per game over their last seven. The Cubs on the other hand have put up just 3.6 runs per game over their last seven and are hitting .238 against lefties. Neither Eric Milton nor Sean Marshall are lights out pitchers, so you might as well take the hotter hitting team in what should be a wash with the arms.

Cincinnati Reds +185
The Reds are worth a shot at this price. Yovani Gallardo is Milwaukee's best pitcher and a rising star. But he's coming off a season-high 126-pitch count in Monday's 1-0 victory against St. Louis when he had a tremendous pitching duel with Chris Carpenter.The Reds got to Gallardo when they faced him earlier this season knocking him out by scoring seven runs.I'm not a huge fan of Reds starter Micah Owings, although I do admire his hitting. Owings does two things well - swing a good bat and be tough on right-handed batters, of which the Brewers are loaded. .Righties are batting just .202 against Owings compared to .363 against lefties. Owings ratio is 1.08 versus righties versus 2.29 against left-handed hitters.
This is a one-unit play for me.
San Francisco Giants +143
Jonathan Sanchez is one of the more unpredictable pitchers in baseball. But the Giants lefty is tough at home where he is 2-0 with a 2.42 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 22 1/3 innings.The Giants are very underrated at home where they have won 17 of their 26 gamesCardinals starter Adam Wainwright is 1-1 with a 5.06 ERA in three career starts versus the Giants. He is not as good on the road as he is at home.Wainwright is due for a flat spot. He's averaged 109 pitches in his last six starts.
This is a one-unit play for me.
Philadelphia Phillies -131
Unless in rare spots, the Nationals are a fade at a reasonable. This isn't one of those spots and the price is reasonable to back the favorite.The Nationals are very bad, especially on the road where they are 6-19. All but three of those losses have come by more than one run. They are 0-5 on this road swing having been outscored by an average of three runs. Overall, the Nationals have dropped 17 of their last 20 games.So this price doesn't seem so high to back old man Jamie Moyer. The Phillies really want to get Moyer his 250th career win in his sixth try at the milestone. Moyer has been solid in his last two starts, going six innings against the Reds and Marlins.Moyer has a strong history against the Nationals going 6-0 with a 2.27 ERA since they moved to the nation's capital.Nationals starter John Lannan is 0-4 with a 5.97 ERA career-wise against Philadelphia. The Nationals bullpen, one of the weakest in baseball, is facing serious fatigue issues. Lannan averages just five innings per start.
This is a one-unit play for me.
