PLAY DETROIT -115
We will back the Tigers in this price range knowing they are 6-2 last 3 years down in Texas, and Galarraga is in great current form, 1.74 era in his last 3 starts, and is 7-2 with a 2.48 era on the road. Padilla is struggling along with the rest of the Rangers, going winless in his last 3 starts with an era of 6.88.

New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays
New York Yankees have lost six of their last 10 games, 13 of their last 21 and five of its last 6 on the road. Go with the Blue Jays at home with their ace A.J. Burnett on the hill. Toronto is 7-0 in Burnett's last 7 starts and has won the right-hander's last four versus the Yankees. New York's right-hander Darrell Rasner is 1-5 with a 6.80 ERA in his last nine games and New York has lost six of Rasner?s last 7 starts on the road.

Priceless Picks
1 Unit on Boston Red Sox -160
The Red Sox have owned the Orioles like no other team in the AL East winning 40 of the last 54 meetings. The Orioles are just 2-9 in Cabrera's last 11 starts vs. the Red Sox and just 1-6 in Cabrera's last 7 home starts vs. the Red Sox. The Red Sox are 12-1 in Matsuzaka's last 13 starts vs. a team with a losing record, 8-2 in Matsuzaka's last 10 road starts, and an impressive 22-5 in Matsuzaka's last 27 starts. We'll bet the Red Sox tonight.

Play: Milwaukee and St Louis Cardinals
With today featuring inordinate amount of big numbers on the board, consider Milwaukee and St. Louis as a quality parlay. The Brew Crew is hot 15-1 against the money line in home games with a hot bullpen whose ERA is under 3.00 the last 15 games. The Cardinals are 14-5 after a loss by four runs or more and Pittsburgh is pathetic 58-113 on the road when the total is 8.5 to 10 over the last three seasons.

CIN (+265) vs CHC
The Cubs return home following a very successful 5-1 road trip and are due for a bit of a letdown at Wrigley Field, where they have been tough to beat this season. Chicago's Rich Harden has yet to earn a victory at Wrigley in three starts despite a 2.81 ERA there and 28 strikeouts in 16 innings. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto is coming off a solid road start at Pittsburgh, earning a victory after giving up just one run in five innings with seven strikeouts. Take the Reds as my Single Dime NL Underdog Play O' the Day.
NYM -1.5 (+100) vs ATL
It's hard to believe the Braves have actually won seven of the nine meetings with the Mets this season, but keep in mind they haven't faced each other since the end of May. Atlanta has essentially given up on the season and faces a New York team primed to stay in first place. The Mets send Oliver Perez to the mound, and all nine of his wins this season have been decided by two runs or more. Meanwhile, the Braves have called up Jo-Jo Reyes, who saw his team lose in his previous six appearances before being sent down to the minors. New York is hitting .289 against lefties at home, so look for another big win here. Bet the Mets on the runline as my Double Dime NL Value Play O' the Week
Greg Shaker
NYY (+118) vs TOR
Burnett has not been sharp his last 3 outings and I suspect that he is arm weary with fewer K's during this period. While he has had the Yankees number over his career, this game offers extreme value. The Jays have been impressive on the road to Detroit and to Boston and that has given us this very good betting line. Call me crazy, but New York has not given up the ship yet and they do have a lineup that hits righties very well. The day off will help get this team re-focused for the last month's run and I expect them to come out swinging the bats in a big way. They will probably need to considering Rasner's work this year. I am going to grab this nice number.
PHI -1.5 (-110) vs WAS
We are getting to that time of the year when we are going to be seeing some Huge Betting Lines. This is one of those and I will play it runline. The Nats have now dropped 10 straight and it appears this team is packing it in. They are not hitting, they are getting very poor work from their Pen, and that Pen is very overworked. Bergman's work has slipped greatly lately as well. Blanton is coming off one of his worst starts since joining Philadelphia, giving up four runs and nine hits in five innings as the Phillies lost 7-6 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. He is a competitor and he should bounce back nicely tonight as he faces a lot of hitters he has not faced before. That is to his advantage. Phillies bats have been mostly silent, running into some good pitching on the West Coast swing but they are back at home where they have been punishing incoming throwers for the most part. This one could be very easy indeed.
TEX / DET Over 11
Texas has the worst pitching in either league and they proved it again last night. They have now allowed 7 or more runs the last 9 of 10 games. That makes this staff very weary and with the Big Tiger Bats in town, that weariness could easily continue. The Rangers will face a solid thrower but this park is a Run Bonanza and one that Galarraga has not experienced yet. Ranger Bats woke up last night and they should be able to plate some tonight. The Tiger Pen is till very much below par and not performing well right now. Andre cannot go all the way tonight so we will get to see the Tiger Bullpen. These teams have averaged 15.5 runs the 4 times they have met this year. I think we have a good chance of seeing that average remain the same or close to it when this one is in the books..

INDIAN COWBOY
Seattle Mariners -109 (POD)
The Rangers should have won yesterday so I feel a bit gipped, but selectivity is the key and that has helped us sit at 60% for the last 5 months with the PODs. As per this selection, it is not the most popular given the disparities in offense in display here but remember, the Mariners got pummeled yesterday 13-5, they remember the beating and clearly have the better pitcher on the mound today who is just 7-7 on the year despite having a mid 3 era. Felix is just 7-7 on the year as he has picked up an unbelievable amount of no-decisions given that his offense never scores, he is 1-1 over his last 7 starts for example, he has yet to face the Whitesox this year who put up 13 runs yesterday as their bats can simply roll when they get it going, Clayton Richard has pitched the over in his last 3 ballgames as he has had era's of 9, 9.66 and 12.47, Seattle has clearly the better pitcher here, but note that the Whitesox have the better offense but Seattle is on a bounce-back from a beating yesterday, lean on Seattle here as Hernandez comes off a 5.14 era in his last start. Felix is 6-1 on the year when he faces a team with a winning record meaning he shows up against the better teams in the league, he is 5-1 on the year in his last 6 road starts and the Mariners are (9-3) in Herndandez's last 12 starts overall.

2 * Play : Houston Astros +1.5 -105
Talk about value , well here it is in Spades with Houston on the R/L at almost even money .Last time I checked they were playing pretty good Baseball lately ,winning 10 of their last 13 Games .The Pitching match up is fairly even here I think giving the slightest edge to Sheets for the Brewers . These pitchers have split their two meetings this year , and I can't pass up getting 1.5 at even money with Moehler .Both have tremendous ERA's and exhibit great control , so there won't be a ton of walks today .Lets run with the value here and take the Astros on the R/L .

If youre looking for offense, as a general rule, dont look to the NL West other than some crazy games in Colorado. The Padres, Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks are earning their reputation for lower-scoring games and that should continue in a true pitchers duel on Tuesday night. The Diamondbacks offense has been struggling on the road all season but, even though this game is at home its unlikely much will change. The Diamondbacks are hitting just .211 in their last five home games. The good news is that their starting pitchers went at least 7 innings in each of the last four games of their road trip and they compiled a 3.07 ERA. As you can see, some solid pitching and some more quiet bats at home are in store for Arizona on Tuesday night. Note that they managed just two hits on Sunday in getting shutout by Roy Oswalt and the Astros. The Diamondbacks lineup should struggle against Padres starter Josh Banks. The San Diego right-hander is coming off of a very poor start in his last outing. However, note that Banks had given up three earned runs or less in ten of his last fourteen outings. This included a solid effort against Arizona where he took the loss but he only allowed three earned runs in the game! Its quite likely he will repeat that success on Tuesday night but the trouble for him will once again be a lack of run support just like it was in the 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks earlier this season. The Padres have scored three runs or less in five of their last six games. In fact, in those five low-scoring outputs they have averaged just 1.4 runs per game. Look for more futility at the plate for San Diego tonight as they must deal with Doug Davis of the Diamondbacks. Even though the Arizona southpaw has not impressed recently, his match-ups with light-hitting San Diego have been a different story! Davis is just 1-1 against the Padres this season but hes held them to just three earned runs on nine hits and these two outings have spanned nearly 16 innings. Also, in 2007, Davis was a perfect 3-0 against the Padres and he compiled a .275 ERA while only allowing San Diego to hit .217 against him! With this pitching match-up, the public is going to expect these two hurlers to struggle based on their recent results. However, we fully expect these pitchers to dominate because this is a favorable match-up for each hurler and each of these teams bats has proven they can often be kept quiet. Pitchers duel!
