Toronto Blue Jays vs. Detroit Tigers
Play: Detroit Tigers
Toronto takes on the Gamble Wednesday!! Will this be the Kenny Rogers of old or will he get hit like he is old. Just to much offense on the side of the Tigers to lose this game. Play on the Tigers - 144
Steve Janus
New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins
Play: Minnesota Twins
The Yankees still get far too much credit based on name recognition. It's not that they are a bad team, they just aren't as good as the odds indicate. The good news? We can take advantage of it in the right situations! For example, Wednesday afternoon the Yankees visit the Minnesota Twins. The Twins are sporting an impressive 40-21 record at home, yet are hardly favored. To take it a few steps further, Minnesota has also won 4 of their last 5 overall, they are 22-7 as a home favorite in their last 29 games in that situation, PLUS they have gone 8-2 in their starter's (Slowey) last 10 starts. Those are some great numbers for the Twins, but the trends going against the Yankees are just as impressive. First, Yankees starter, Darrell Rasner, is pitching on 4 days rest. Rasner has pitched on 4 days rest 7 times this season and the Yankees are just 6-1 in those starts. To top it all off, the Yankees have lost 4 in a row as an underdog on the road and 4 in a row against any team with a winning record. This is a great price for a Minnesota team that has earned one of the best home records in baseball this season.

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons
Boston Red Sox -1.5
The Rangers scored 17 runs last night and they still lost on the run line as the Red Sox scored 19 runs! That tells you how bad the current pitching situation is for the Rangers right now! Sending Luis Mendoza to the mound certainly wont help matters for the struggling Rangers. Of course, were certainly not going to advise you to lay the 235 on the money line with the Red Sox here but we do see extremely good value with Boston on the run line as by laying the 1.5 runs we only have to lay about 115 in juice. This is a great value, especially considering the pitching match-up tonight! The Rangers Mendoza is 2-5 with an 8.78 in ten starts. He is coming off of another very poor effort at Baltimore on Friday. Also, he got absolutely hammered in his only career appearance against the Red Sox and that came in April. He certainly will be no match for Boston here! Mendoza faces a real challenge here because of being matched up with Jon Lester of the Red Sox. The Boston southpaw is coming off of a rare, sub-par effort but he is still an amazing 7-1 with a 2.95 ERA in his 12 starts since May 25th! Look for him to quiet the Texas sticks today while, at the same time, he should get a ton of run support as Boston tees off on Mendoza and a struggling and over-used Rangers bullpen that is one of the worst in all of baseball! Lay the 1.5 runs with the Red Sox for what should be a dominating win on Wednesday night!

1 Unit on Pittsburgh Pirates -152
The Bucs have been rock solid in the home chalk role this season at 22-7 in their last 29 games in the spot. The Bucs have also found a groove behind Maholm. The Pirates are 11-3 in Maholm's last 14 home starts and 7-1 in Maholm's last 8 starts as a home favorite. The Reds are just 18-38 in their last 56 games as a road underdog, 5-16 in their last 21 overall, and only 1-6 in their last 7 vs. National League Central. Take the Pirates at home tonight.
TONY WESTON
Well, we're coming at it again with another winner as we're going with the Baltimore Orioles on the road at the Cleveland Indians.
Despite losing the first two games of this series at Cleveland, the Orioles will get over for one simple reason: starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie.
Consider that Guthrie is 9-8 this season with a 3.26 ERA and is 5-4 with a 3.06 ERA on the road. Also keep in mind that after the Orioles started the season 4-8 in his first 12 starts the team has gone 9-4 in his last 13 starts.
Baltimore is also 5-2 in his last seven starts and is on a 3-0 run his last three starts and has allowed only one earned run in each of those starts. In that three game stretch, two of which have come on the road, the Orioles have outscored their opponents by a combined 25-5.
Pencil in Guthrie as your starting pitcher and go with Baltimore on the road.

San Francisco Giants at Houston Astros
The hot Houston Astros have won their last five games, last five at Minute Maid Park and have beaten the San Francisco Giants in five of their last six contests. Look for the Astros to pound the Giants again tonight in Houston.
Go with Houston to grab their sixth straight victory against San Francisco and their lackluster offense. The Giants have dropped ten of their last 14 games away from home.
