Always play the OTHER SIDE of my game writeup.
San Francisco at NY Mets
Play: 3* OVER
The Giants forced New York pitcher Mike Pelfrey to throw about a zillion pitches in yesterday's contest but walked away with ONLY 3 HITS in an ugly 7-0 shutout. Such a dreadful offensive display tells me that San Fran should either (a) fire their hitting coach or (b) put some cash on the 'UNDER' in today's game! Yes, with flame-throwing Johan Santana on the hill for the Mets, it looks like ANOTHER WHITEWASH is in store for the Bay Area Bottom-Feeders! Since I think tonight's final will be something like a 5-0 Mets' win, I'm GOING LOW ? so your play is on OVER THE TOTAL.

1 Unit on Oakland A's -158
The A's just cut loose one of their top pitchers, but with Blanton still on board and going tonight, they should pick up an easy win over their division rivals here. Blanton has struggled this season, but when the oddsmakers have pegged him as this big of a favorite he has delivered. The Athletics are 5-1 in Blanton's last 6 starts as a home favorite of -151 to -200. The Athletics are 63-24 in their last 87 games as a favorite of -151 to -200 and 117-57 in their last 174 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Mariners are just 1-10 in their last 11 vs. the American League West, 10-21 in their last 31 road games, and 0-4 in Batistas last 4 road starts. Take the home A's.

REDS / CUBS UNDER
Thanks to the wind blowing from center and with both teams throwing their best starters look for a low scoring in Wrigley tonight. You see thanks to Zambrano?s season ERA of 2.96 and Cueto?s strong ERA of 1.96 over his last three starts it?s pitching that is going to set the tone tonight. Meanwhile combined both pitchers have pitched to an Under of 22-13 in their 35 starts for the year, including the last four starts from Cueto. Well mark up yet another Under tonight in Wrigley as both starters will help to keep things low.

TORONTO BLUE JAYS
Baltimore has held the lead in each of its last six losses, and its bullpen has compiled a 5.52 ERA in the last eight games overall. A loss Wednesday would saddle the Orioles with their first four-game losing streak since May 28-June 1. If Baltimore hopes to avoid another loss, it may need a big game at the plate with Olson (6-3, 5.04 ERA) struggling. Olson is 1-1 with a 6.30 ERA in his last four starts. In his last outing, the left-hander gave up six runs - five earned - and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings as Baltimore lost 10-7 to Kansas City on Thursday night. Olson was the losing pitcher in his only career start versus the Blue Jays (43-47). He struggled through 2 2-3 innings, giving up five runs and six hits while walking four in a 5-2 loss on Aug. 17. Toronto will counter with A.J. Burnett (8-8, 4.92), who struggled against Baltimore on June 7. He gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings in a 9-5 loss. Burnett is 5-1 with a 4.53 ERA in seven career starts against the Orioles.
Mr East
Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays
Pick: 4 units Baltimore Orioles +147
The Jays at 12-21 over their last 33 games have played their way into the basement of the AL east. One of their biggest problems all season has been facing LHP where they have been just 7-17 in 24 games, including 4 shutouts, and scoring a total of 70 runs. Outside of a 12 run outburst vs Oakland, they have produced just 58 runs in 23 games vs LHP, or 2.5rpg, hard to find the win column for sure. Baltimore has won the majority of games Garrett Olsen has started, and he has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 of his 13 starts, which should be enough to hold down the Jays and get the road win.
