The Washington Wizards have continued to play hard and be competitive despite being without Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler, while the Bulls have struggled at home this season.

Granted, the Wizards laid an egg at Houston vs. the Yao-less Rockets on Tuesday. They came the night after the upset to meet the red-hot New Orleans Hornets on the road.. The Wizards are still 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games overall, and they are now an excellent 17-12, 58.6 percent ATS on the road for the season.

Now the Bulls were playing better soon after their coaching change, but they are now just 4-6 straight up in their last 10 games, and they are returning from a 1-2 road trip where their only win was at Indiana, which was the easiest on the three opponents. Chicago is still a very disappointing 12-14 SU at home this year, and they are a money-burning 10-16 ATS in those games.

This is a revenge game for the Wizards, who lost outright at home to the Bulls as six-point favorites back in December.

This Friday night the bet is on the Washington Wizards +5!!

Cleveland Indians
Thur Sept 06, 2007

This is an interesting battle of division leaders, as the Cleveland Indians have suddenly opened up some breathing room on the Detroit Tigers and are looking to put them away, while the Los Angeles Angels could virtually coast the rest of the way.

That reasoning alone makes the Indians an attractive underdog here, and we are not even that concerned about the travel factor, as the Tribe’s game in Minnesota yesterday was an early afternoon game, meaning they got to the West Coast at a reasonable hour.

Cleveland has seized control of the American League Central by going a sizzling 16-5 in their last 21 games, including 11 wins in their last 12 contests. This team is doing it offensively, hitting .294 while averaging 5.70 runs in the last 10 games, and is also getting great pitching from both the starters and relievers, posting a team ERA of 3.42 during this same span.

Tonight’s starter Paul Byrd has been a major contributor, as he is 14-5 and is coming off of back-to-back sparkling efforts, allowing a total of three runs and just 10 hits in 15 innings over those starts. Byrd has also made the normally potent Angels lineup looks silly in recent years, reeling off Quality Starts in each of his last four appearances against them. This includes a hard-luck loss earlier this year where he allowed only two runs in seven innings, only to lose by a 3-2 count.

In actuality, the Angels have the exact same lead in the loss column over the second place Seattle Mariners (seven games) that the Indians do over Detroit. The difference is that Cleveland is peaking right now, while the Angels opened up a big lead earlier on and has been on cruise control since sweeping Seattle last week. In fact, the Halos are just 2-3 in their last five games despite facing some suspect opposition in Texas and Oakland, all here at home!

Kelvim Escobar’s performance has mirrored that of the team, as he has great year-to-date numbers at 15-7 with a fantastic 2.99 ERA, but has seemed rather disinterested lately. Escobar has just one good start in his last three efforts, posting an uncharacteristic 5.94 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over this stretch.

This is simply a case of getting a very good team that has more motivation at an excellent price, so the Indians are a rather easy call here.

The bet tonight is on the Cleveland Indians. For more informations on how or where to bet on the cleveland Indians Click Here!

San Diego Padres
Mon Aug 08, 2007

Both David Wells of the San Diego Padres and Braden Looper of the St. Louis Cardinals have been terrible lately, but I still feel the Padres are worth an investment as an underdog here.

Wells has a 13.50 ERA and 2.37 WHIP in 12.2 innings over his last three starts, while Looper has a 9.88 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in 13.2 innings over that same span. We will call this a wash, and assume that this game will come down to a battle of the bullpens, which is where San Diego has a huge edge. The Padres lead the National League and are second in the Major Leagues in bullpen ERA at 2.97, while the Cardinals rank 17th in the bigs at 4.00.

Besides, we also feel that Wells is more likely to turn in an improved effort than Looper is tonight. Wells is a crafty veteran that has allowed two runs or less in each of his last three career starts vs. the Cardinals. On the other hand, Looper is a converted reliever that is not used to this much of a workload, so we expect him to continue to struggle.

These teams are simply heading in opposite directions right now, with the Padres having won four games in a row and the Cardinals losing five straight. Look for both of those streaks to continue.

Atlanta Braves -130
Tue Jul 24, 2007

The last place west division San Francisco Giants prepare to take it on the chin again tonight against an Atlanta Braves team that will send one of their top hurlers Tim Hudson (10-5, 3.24 ERA) to the mound . The right hander is 4-0 in his L/5 starts along with a stingy 2.61 ERA. That’s not a good omen for a Giants team that has hit under the Mendoza line at home this season with a .249 BA. With the Giants sending the struggling Matt Morris (7-6,4.08 ERA)to the bump, this looks to be a solid situation to back the Braves as short road chalk. The veteran Giants righty has not won since June the 11 and is 0-3 in his L/6 starts along with a bloated 8.35 ERA.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays -105
Wed Jul 18, 2007

The LA Angels starting pitcher tonight Bartolo Colon enters this contest in bad form having garnered a horible 6.44 ERA on the season and has looked particularly bad of late allowing 22 hits in his L/14 innings of work recording a bloated 7.71 ERA. The former Cy Young award winner has allowed 41 Ers , in his 40 2/3 innings of work. With Tampa Bays ace Scott Kazmir taking to the hill for his team , they have a very good chance of walking away with the victory on their own turf. The DRays are 6-1 in Kazmirs L/7 starts against an above .500 team.

Cincinnati Reds +135
Tue Jun 26, 2007

The Reds finished off interleague play with an emotional three game set in Seattle that saw the Safeco crowd give Ken Griffey Jr. a very warm welcome home. They were able to manage just one game in that set, and two wins on their six-game West coast road trip. One of those games they won just so happened to be Homer Bailey’s last start in Oakland. We banged the Reds pretty hard that night, and we’re going to take a stab with the rookie tonight as well. The Phills have won both games started by this Kendrick kid, but he by no means deserves to be such a high chalk in just his third start of the season. The kids been hit pretty well in his first two starts, but the Phills offense backed him up nicely with a total of 17 runs in those games. I expect Bailey to carry the momentum he gained against Oakland over with him tonight, and limit the Phillies offensive opportunities. I can’t say the same for Kendrick, since he’s proven to be very hittable already. Look for the Reds to scratch a healthy amount of runs across this evening, and for Bailey to put forth another commanding performance that will be closed out late by the pen.

Minnesota Twins +148
Mon Jun 18, 2007

The Minnesota Twins prepare to take the prize tonight as UNDERDOGS against a struggling NY Mets. The Mets have lost 11 of their last unlucky 13 tilts, including 5 straight series battles. The Twins on the other hand are 9-3 in their L/12 interleague road games . With that being said you can defintely look for the Twins to tee off on the Mets starter John Maine. Maine has been less than stellar of late garnering with a 1-4 record and a bloated 4.73 ERA in his L/6 starts. Twins are 23-7 L/30 intrleague games.

Houston Astros +140
Wed June 6, 2007

The atmosphere at Coor’s last night was electric to say the least as the benches cleared on a couple of occasions in the Astros 4-1 victory. Things looked to be going great for the home team through the first six as they held a 1-0 lead and Hirsch looked like a beast mowing down the Astros. Making them look quite foolish in the process. Then, out of nowhere, Mr. Silence, came up with a huge 2-run double with 2 outs in the top of the 7th. This was a much needed win for the Astros who lost a tough one on Sunday in extra innings against St. Louis. This club has grossly underachieved all season long, but it looks as if their bats are starting to erupt. Cook has been mediocre at best this year and I think the Astros bats will be too much for him to contend with. This is a nice price on the road dog Astros who have the better overall line-up.

The bet tonight is on the Houston Astros +140. For more informations on how or where to bet on the Houston Astros Click Here!

Chicago Cubs -105
Wed June 6, 2007

All eyes will shift to Miller Park this afternoon for anyone concerned with the NL Central Division race as the Cubs and Brewers crew are set to play the rubber game of their three game set. The Brewers got the best of a very ineffective Ted Lilly last night and evened up the series at one a piece. Today, they send out Jeff Suppan and his 3.71 ERA to the bump in search of their 34th win on the season. This is a very interesting turn in the Cubs rotation as Carlos Zambrano will make his first appearance since he and Catcher Michael Barrett got in a fist fight in the dugout that escalated into the teams clubhouse. The Cubs organization chose to handle the situation in house, and the drama that unfolded between innings is said to be a thing of the past. That being said, the Cubs are going to go on a tremendous run over the next couple weeks of play. Even though they lost last night, they fought back every inning and even had a chance to take the lead late after being down 5-1 at one point. Carlos put forth one of his best starts of the year earlier this season in Miller Park, and he’s pitched rather well against the Brewers in both of his starts this year. I expect him to bounce back here and look like the Carlos of old. If not, and his stuff looks weak and wild, then the guys playing hurt and will have to get checked out because he’s looked like a completely different pitcher this season than that of the Last three. The first fight was the main remedy needed to get “El Toro” back in a groove.

The bet this afternoon is on the Chicago Cubs. For more informations on how or where to bet on the Chicago Cubs Click Here!

Washington Nationals +110
May 18, 2007

These are two teams going in opposite directions, so the Nationals offer nice value as a home underdog in this spot.

Washington just took three out of four games from Atlanta, and they have now won six of seven games overall. Nationals’ starter Jason Simontacchi is a nice story, returning to the Major Leagues after last pitching for the Cardinals back in 2003. He has not been terrible in his two starts either, and he has the support of a red-hot Washington bullpen that has allowed just one run in the last 23.2 innings.

Conversely, the Orioles have now lost five consecutive games, and the Baltimore offense produced just a total of five runs in their three-game series in Toronto. Also starter Steve Trachsel has been brutal on the road, where he has a 5.60 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, with the Orioles going 0-5 as a team in all his road starts.

The bet tonight is on the Nationals. For more informations on how or where to bet on Washington Nationals Click Here!

DETROIT/NEW YORK UNDER 9′ (VERLANDER/MUSSINA)
Oct 4, 2006

The Yankees got the best of the Tigers in Game 1 last night by playing a bit of long ball, and coming up with some clutch two out thunder. I’m looking for tonight’s game to be dominated by the pitching this time around, as both Justin Verlander and Mike Mussina put forth stellar campaigns in 2006. Mussina won 15 games this year, and was especially nasty at home going 9-2 and sporting a solid 3.19 ERA. Verlander comes in having won 17 games and sports a 3.63 ERA. He only gave up 187 hits in 186 innings of work, and struck out 124 batters while only walking 60. His ERA only jumped up to 3.91, and he picked up 60% of his season strikeout total in the role as the visitor. Now, the Yanks have one heck of a line-up. It almost seems like its unfair to be that stacked, but Verlander will be up for the challenge when his squad needs him most. Look for a very well pitched game to be put forth by both sides, and this one to crawl ‘Under’ the posted number. Call it 3-2 or 4-2 to the victor!!!

Ted Lilly (3-2,2.53) the Chicago Cubs starting pitcher for today against Chicago White Sox has looked in great form all season long. He’s has 8 consecutive quality starts. The Cubbies southpaw has allowed 2 or less ERs in 6 of those outings, and has not allowed more than 4 ERs in a game all season. His pitching opponent Mark Buehrle (-2-1,3.61) has also been a consistent force in his teams pitching rotation ,allowing 3 or less ERs in 6 of his 7 starts during his current campaign. Considering the form of todays starting LHP pitchers, and both teams documented struggles against lefties. The Under in this game is an easy call today.

Bet on the Under Chicago White Sox Chicago Cubs Game…

The Dodgers swept all six games in the season series with the Reds last year. We look forward to them dominating tonight’s game.

Although Cincinnati beat Houston 9-5 yesterday, the Reds are still reeling as that was just their second win in nine games. Bronson Arroyo was a pleasant surprise last season, but teams have figured him out a bit this year, and he did not exactly fool the Dodger hitters the last time he faced them, allowing four earned runs on 10 hits in six innings. Conversely, the southpaw Randy Wolf allowed just one run and six hits with eight strikeouts in 5.1 innings in Atlanta in his last start, and he has two Quality Starts in his last three outings against the Reds.

Los Angeles has the far superior bullpen ERA here at 3.00, compared to a 4.50 for the Reds. The Dodgers are defintely worth the modest investment tonight.

Tonight the bet is on LA Dodgers. Bet on the Los Angeles Dodgers laying the 20 cents.

Jake Peavy has pitched brilliantly for the Padres this season, posting a 1.75 ERA and an outstanding 0.97 WHIP with 56 strikeouts in 46.1 innings. He has now posted double-digit strikeout totals in three consecutive starts while allowing a grand total of three runs and nine hits in 21 innings over those outings. Considering that he is facing a putrid Cardinal lineup that is hitting .220 as a team over the last 10 games, we would not be at all shocked if St. Louis scores either one or no runs tonight!

Now granted Kip Wells has been a horror show lately, but for whatever reason, he has always pitched well vs. San Diego, allowing two runs or less in five of his six career starts against them. Besides, the Padres are not exactly scorching the ball themselves, batting just .224 vs. right-handed pitching in the last 10 contests.

Finally, both of these bullpens are ranked in the top four in the Major Leagues in ERA, with San Diego third at 2.53 and St. Louis fourth at 2.97, which become even more important when going Under a low total like this.

Today the bet is St. Louis Cardinals , San Diego Padres u7.0. Bet on the Cards, Padres Under 7!!

The Tigers enter this contest fire having won 9 of their L/10 games. Mike Maroth Motowns southpaw starting pitcher has seen his team win his L/6 starts , including the Twins defeat their last time out. The struggling Twins who have lost 7 of their L/10 overall, will send Cy Young award winner, Johan Santana, to the mound to face a Tigers team that had success against him the last time they met. Recording 3 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings of work in their April 29th meeting. Santana has seen his team lose 3 of his L/5 starts, partly due to a lack of run support, but also because of some rare concentration inconsistencies. With that being said, I say ride the momentum of the Tigers. Minnesota has failed in 6 of their L/8 opportunities as favorites. Tigers have won 5 straight as underdogs. Tigers are 6-0 in Maroths L/5 road starts. Twins have lost 4 straight at home against a lefty starter.

The play is defintely Detroit. Bet on Detroit Tigers today!!

Dan Haren (3-2, 1.75 ERA) the Oakland As starting pitcher for this tilt against KC Royals has been a consistent force in his teams pitching rotation this season , recording 5 quality starts in 7 outings. Gil Meche, the Royals starter has been equally staunch posting a 3-1 record along with a , 2.23 ERA. With two top quality throwers on the mound today for these teams a low scoring affair looks to be on the agenda. Oakland is is 12-2 UNDER when playing against a team with a losing record this season, combining with those opponents for 7.5 RPG. Oakland is 15-3 UNDER against right-handed starters this season with the average combined score of those tilts ringing in at 6.7 RPG. Today the bet on Under Oakland As KC Royals game. Click here for the latest baseball information.

Both clubs enter tonight’s game after getting swept at home in their two-game mini series against Toronto and Oakland. The Orioles have gotten off to a fast start to their ‘07 campaign as they come into this evening’s match-up with the Red Sox 11-9 overall and 7-4 in Camden Yards. If there was ever a team that Baltimore wanted to take a season’s worth of frustration out on, it’s these Boston Red Sox. Big Papi and Manny’s club beat the O’s in 16 of their 19 match-ups a season ago, so expect the O’s to come out in search of some respect in this two-game set. Daniel Cabrera looks like a completely different pitcher, and this will be his biggest test of the young season. Sure, he has given up quite a few hits (28 in 26 innings of work), but he’s fanned 26 and most importantly, only issued 7 free passes. That’s been the recipe to his success early on, and the main reason Baltimore has won three of the four games he’s started this season. He’s expected to put forth an “A+” effort here tonight against a Boston club that’s found it hard to score runs unless they were matched up against the Yanks their L/8 games. The Orioles have won 6 of their L/8 home games, look for that mark to increase by one after this evening.

Bet on the Baltimore Orioles !!

The money train just keeps chugging along as we get a chance to back the Brewers at plus money once again against the woeful Cubs. Seriously! How can you lay any type of chalk with this beleaguered Cubs team right now? They are flat out putrid, and it doesn’t matter what they do because they’ll find a way to blow it in the end. They overslide 2nd base and get tagged out when the batter was issued a free pass in the bottom of the 9th, and they blow 4-0 leads with their ace on the mound like its going out of style. Not even Rich Hill and his 0.41 ERA could stand up to the pathetic baseball that this team played last night. The Cubs had a number of opportunities to cash in, and they just couldn’t. Ted Lilly has pitched exceptionally well for this team in his first four starts, and what do the Cubs have to show for it….a 1-3 mark in the game’s he’s pitched. It seriously is pathetic and it’s turning into a joke to watch. My goodness, even Piniella’s looking like he’s starting to believe this franchise is seriously cursed. It doesn’t matter whether they are or whether they’re not. The bottom line is the Brewers sit atop the NL Central and their underdogs to the Cubs with Ben Sheets on the mound. The same Ben Sheets the Cubs pounded earlier this year for one of their 7 wins on the year. Redemption will be sought, and it will be granted.

Bet on the Brewers tonight !!

Mark Buehrle, LHP (1-0, 2.08) of the Chicago White Sox starting pitcher here today against the Kansas City Royals, off pitching a no hitter his last time out . The southpaw hurler has allowed just 1 hit in his L/15 innings of work, and looks to be at the top of his game . Look for Buehrles streek to continue against a KC team that he has had success against in the past. Buehrle is a noted fast starter, recording a 27-8 L/35 mark against the money line in the first half of the season over the past few years.

Bet on the Chicago White Sox
