TB Rays and FLA Marlins
Take FLA Marlins
Nine straight free play winners, and I'll try for the double digit streak with tonight's Rays-Marlins contest. The Fish nearly pulled off the big ninth inning rally last night, but even though they lost they certainly made Troy Percival work. He's likely not available tonight after 31 pitches, and the Rays also used setup men Howell and Wheeler in the win. As for the starters, James Shields has his K-ball working again, so he could be tough. But Shields has really scuffled on the road this year. Ryan Tucker goes for the Marlins, and the rookie's command is shaky. But Tucker is off a confidence building win at Seattle and I believe he can match up with Shields tonight. If it's close late, advantage Florida, so I'm going to back the Marlins as nicely priced home dogs.

PHI Phillies and OAK Athletics
Take PHI Phillies
Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick is 3-1 on the road, and he will like the friendly confines of the Coliseum, a terrific pitcher's park here in Oakland. The Phillies are 5-1 his last 6 starts. This Philadelphia offense is dynamite, second in the NL in runs scored. Oakland starter Greg Smith has had control problems of late, walking 12 in his last 16 innings. A great spot for the talented road dog. Play the Phillies!

Selection: San Diego Padres -130
Today the Minnesota Twins will be on the road as they take on the San Diego Padres. We will side with the San Diego Padres! One reason why we will side with the San Diego Padres is because they will be sending the much better starting pitcher to the mound. This says it all... The Minnesota Twins Starting Pitcher (Glen Perkins) has a 4.19 ERA in his last 3 starts, while San Diego Padres Starting Pitcher (Greg Maddux) has a 1.89 ERA in his last 3 starts. As you can see, the San Diego Padres will have a huge advantage on the pitchers mound. In addition, the San Diego Padres have been playing great baseball at home as of late. In fact, the San Diego Padres are now 8-4 in their last 12 home games. We see the San Diego Padres getting another win tonight! Take the San Diego Padres

Chicago White Sox at Los Angeles Dodgers
The White Sox are 10-4 this season when Gavin Floyd toes the rubber, including wins in each of his last five starts. He's pitched very well under the lights, owning a 2.80 ERA in evening starts, and will face a Dodgers lineup that simply isn't hitting right now. LA is averaging less than 3.5 runs per game this month and they were really roughed up in last night's series opener, 6-1. Dodgers are 1-9 their last 10 against the AL Central.

1 Unit on Padres -129
I like Maddux to put an end to the Twins run tonight. ThePadres are 5-1 in Maddux's last 6 home starts, 5-0 in Maddux's last 5 starts during game 2 of a series, and 4-0 in Maddux's last 4 starts after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. The Padres are 7-3 in their last 10 games as a favorite of -110 to -150 and 7-1 in their last 8 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game so I don't expect run support to be an issue for the Pads here. Bet the Padres as Maddux gets the job done in pitcher-friendly Petco.
