Boston at TAMPA BAY (-140, series)

By Chris Jordan, Featured Handicapper


So the stage is set, and as much as I would love to see my boy Shane Victorino win a World Series ring after he personally hoisted the Phillies on his shoulders in the National League playoffs, I just don't believe it's going to happen because of three glaring reasons:



Pitching, home-field advantage and Interleague play.



Let's work backward ...



The Rays were 12-6 against the senior circuit after an 11-4 run to close out interleague play. And that included a three-game sweep against the Cubs in June.



On the other hand, the Phils were a disappointing 4-11 against the American League, including a 2-7 skid against three of the best-hitting teams on the junior circuit - Boston, Texas and the Angels. And though they didn't meet this season, the Phils are a team Tampa has handled over the years with a 10-5 mark against them.



With Tampa getting to host the series to its advantage, I doubt Philadelphia will be able to steal home-field advantage; and even if it does, there's no reason to believe the Rays can't scoot up to Citizens Bank Park and steal one in Philly. Bottom line is the Rays posted the best home record in the majors, and with all the caroms off the catwalks, Tropicana Field is a strong candidate for baseball's first postseason replay.



With the type of pitching Tampa puts on the hill, an aggressive like Philadelphia could be in a lot of trouble. Seriously, who would have thought Matt Garza - a once go-against pitcher - would be named ALCS MVP? You mix in some James Shields, Andy Sonnanstine and Scott Kazmir and this is a dangerous rotation. I'd much rather have that rotation working for us, than the likes of one that includes Brett Myers and 45-year-old Jamie Moyer.



All the elements are there, and this preseason's 200-to-1 longshot is certainly in the right spot to finish the job with a World Series title.

Philadelphia Phillies at Tampa Bay Rays
(L) Cole Hamels (0-0) vs. (L) Scott Kazmir (0-0)
(best-of-seven series, 0-0)

The Tampa Bay Rays will host the Philadelphia Phillies and their ace lefthander Cole Hamels, who is 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA with a 0.86 WHIP in his three playoff starts. Tampa Bay counters with Scott Kazmir. The lefthander is 1-0 this postseason and is 9-2 with a 3.30 ERA in 16 starts at home.
Go with the Rays in Game 1 at Tropicana Field. The Phillies are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings and 0-4 in the last 4 in Tampa Bay. The Rays are 61-26 at home this season and won 14 of lefty Scott Kazmir last 16 home starts. Tough assignment going against Phillies' Cole Hamels, but so was beating the defending champion Boston Red Sox.

Both teams here are looking to open it up after disappointing offensive performances. With Florida averaging 34 shots a game, its a matter of time before the bounces find there way into the net.
Ottawa ranked 6th in power play conversions at 25% look to add some depth to there scoring attack, by moving Spezza to the second line.
Ottawa, not happy with there 23 shot performance against the Bruins, should be able to turn up the heat on backup Florida goalie Craig Anderson, who is scheduled to start tonight

JIM FEIST

The Edmonton Oilers look to have their best team in some time and if the start of the 2008 season is any indication, they just may have. The Oilers are out of the gate fast, going 4-0-0 with eight points in their first four games. They have used a stingy defense that has allowed just nine goals thus far. Mathieu Garon has started between the pipes in three of the four games and has just a 2.00 goals against average. Garon has turned back 94.1% of the shots he's faced. Garon is due for a day off and that could be today or it could be Thursday. If it's today, then the goaltending duties fall to 24-year old Quebec native, Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers. The rookie netminder picked up his first win of his career last Friday in a win over the Flames. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks are 2-2-2 after six games for six points. They have allowed more goals (18) than they have scored (17). New head coach Joel Quenneville picked up his first win for the Hawks last Sunday over the Canucks, 4-2. The Hawks are still trying to trade disgruntled goalie, Nikolai Khabibulin and hopefully can get some size in return for him. This Chicago team isn't very physical and has no enforcer on the club. Quenneville is a good teacher and maybe with time he can have this young team playing half way decent, but right now the Oilers are just way ahead of Chicago.

SPORTS ADVISORS

Philadelphia (7-2) at Tampa Bay (7-4)
Having dispatched of the defending champs in a wild seven-game American League Championship Series, the Rays now take part in their first Fall Classic when they host the Phillies, who are back in the World Series for the first time since 1993. Two solid lefties will be on the mound at Tropicana Field for Game 1, with Tampa Bay’s Scott Kazmir (13-8, 3.54 ERA in 30 regular-season and postseason starts) opposing Philadelphia ace Cole Hamels (17-10, 2.92 ERA in 36 starts).

The Rays blew a 3-1 advantage to the Red Sox in the ALCS, losing 8-7 in Game 5 in Boston after having a 7-0, seventh-inning lead, then falling 4-2 at home in Game 6 on Saturday. But Tampa Bay rallied from a 1-0 deficit in Game 7 on Sunday and held off the Sox 3-1 to advance to its first World Series. Tampa defeated the White Sox 3-1 in the best-of-5 divisional round.

Philadelphia easily dispatched of the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, prevailing in five games. The Phillies, who beat the Brewers in four games in the NLDS, have been idle since their series-clinching 5-1 victory at Los Angeles a week ago tonight, and they’re looking for their first world championship since 1980.

The Phillies are on runs of 35-16 overall, 8-3 on the road, 15-4 following a victory, 22-8 against winning teams and 13-3 after an off day. Meanwhile, the Rays are on streaks of 57-19 at Tropicana Field and 6-2 at home against southpaw starters.

These teams last faced each other in 2006, when Tampa Bay took two of three interleague games in Philadelphia. The Rays are 10-5 all time against the Phillies, including 5-1 in the last six overall and 4-0 in the last four at Tropicana Field.

Tampa Bay went 12-6 against the National League in 2008, batting .290 as a team and posting a 3.21 ERA. On the flip side, the Phillies tied the Padres for the worst interleague record this season at 3-15, batting .250 and posting a team ERA of 4.90. The Rays are on interleague streaks of 7-1 against the N.L. East, 8-3 at home and 7-0 when facing a southpaw starter, while Philadelphia is in interleague slides of 17-36 overall, 6-17 on the road and 1-4 against the A.L. East.

Hamels is 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in three playoff starts this month, including leading the Phillies to the World Series in last Wednesday’s 5-1 win over the Dodgers. He went seven innings in that contest, giving up one run on five hits en route to being named MVP of the NLCS. Hamels has given up two earned runs or fewer in six straight starts and 12 of his last 13, and the Phillies are 8-5 during this stretch (5-1 in his last six).

Tampa Bay is 21-8 in Kazmir’s last 29 starts overall (2-1 in the playoffs) and 35-17 in his last 52 at the Trop. The southpaw is 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA in three October outings, and he had his best start in six weeks in Game 5 at Fenway Park on Thursday, scattering two hits and three walks while striking out seven in six scoreless innings. He left with a 7-0 lead before his bullpen imploded, giving up eight runs over the final three innings to lose, 8-7.
Including the postseason, Hamels is 8-3 with a 3.08 ERA in 17 road starts (Philadelphia is 10-7), while Kazmir is 9-2 with a 3.30 ERA in 16 home starts (14 of which Tampa Bay has won).

Hamels faced the Rays back on June 16, 2006, and he lasted just 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits in a 10-4 home loss. The next night, Kazmir shut down Philadelphia in a 7-2 win, yielding two runs on six hits in five innings, walking three and striking out nine.
With Hamels on the mound, the under is on runs of 5-0 overall and 5-1 on Wednesdays, but the over is 5-1 in his last six interleague outings. For

Kazmir, the over is on streaks of 7-1 overall and 5-1 at home.
For the Phillies, the under is on streaks of 7-3 in the playoffs, 5-2 on the road, 7-2 in interleague play and 4-1 after an off day. For the Rays, the under is on runs of 4-1 at home, 20-8-1 in interleague home games and 19-7 at home against lefty starters. However, the over is 6-2-1 in Tampa Bay’s last nine against the N.L. East.

1. 100,000♦ Phillies
1. Phillies- First things first, do not over think this play. Cole Hamels is the best pitcher in this series, going 3-0 with a lockdown 1.23 ERA in 3 starts. Rays' Scott Kazmir, on the other hand, has been all over the place this postseason, going 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA in 3 starts. Sure, his last start against Boston was rock-solid, but the start prior, at Tropicana against the Red Sox, was anything but, allowing 5 runs in 4 1/3 innings. Fact of it is, you have to give the edge to the Phillies as far as starting pitching is concerned in Game 1, an obviously looking at the price on the contest, the oddsmakers agree.
Second, while overall the Rays may have an edge with their starting pitching in the series, there's no question the Phillies offense is more dynamic, and that includes vs left-handed starters. Rays were far less effective against southpaws this season, batting .258 against them at the Trop, averaging 4.4 runs per game. Phillies, on the other hand, while batting only .240 on the road against them (but .292 over their last 10 overall) average a hearty 5.2 runs per game against lefties away this season. Kazmir has been hittable, and that much will become clear after tonight.
Then there's the rest vs rust argument, and while there's many different ways to prove either side right, what's more important is the mind-set of this Rays club. They're coming off a draining 7-game series with the Red Sox, and while not a huge factor, I'll take the rested team versus the one that's lost 2 of their last 3 and is coming into this contest with just 2 days rest.
Finally, its tough to argue against the Phillies bullpen, which is 86-0 this year when leading after 8 innings! They've posted an impressive 1.88 ERA throughout the postseason, led by Brad Lidge (1.23 ERA this postseason). Also, relievers Madson, Durbin, and Romero have been excellent. We know we'll get 7 innings from Hamels tonight, and handing the ball off to the Majors best bullpen is a HUGE advantage for the Phillies.
Bottom line, I repeat, do not over think this Game 1 match up. Hamels is the one true stud of this World Series, and he knows (as well as most) that a win here is the key to the Phillies winning the title. Combine him with this Phillies bullpen and you've got a recipe for disaster as far as the Rays offense is concerned. True, they've been rock-solid of late, but not against lefties (batting .245 vs lefties L10 games). In the end, look for the Phillies to ride their ace to a huge Game 1 victory Wednesday night!

Take the Phillies behind Hamels over the Rays and Kazmir as your top-rated play of the day.

RON RAYMOND'S 5* NHL GAME OF THE NIGHT!
Pick # 1 Chicago Blackhawks (-135)

[ymmit2nd]

Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 7.5 +100 (risk 3 to win 3)

The World Series opens in Tampa tonight as the Rays host the Phillies. Cole Hamels goes for the Phillies and Scott Kazmir gets the call for the Rays. Hamels has had a good season, and has been solid of late, but his regular season road numbers vs winning teams shows something different. He has a 4.58 ERA on the road vs. top teams during the regular season. Scott Kazmir has pitched well at home with the Rays going 12-2, but his problem is too many pitches and he has exited before completing six innings more times than not. The Rays pen has been guilty of an additional 1.95 runs per game after his departure. The last 11 times Kazmir has taken the ball for the Rays an average of 12.36 runs have been scored! The last 11 times Kazmir has taken the mound, a bettor would be 11-0 playing the OVER to a total of 7.5. While both of these guys are very ogod, there's just too much here saying this one is set too low, and I'll play the OVER 7.5 which is actually an underdog line, showing great value.

Game: Philadelphia Phillies @ Tampa Bay Rays - Wednesday October 22, 2008 8:20 pm
Pick: 3 units MONEYLINE: Philadelphia Phillies -106



While we’re not so sure that Philly will end up as the new World Series Champs, for reasons pointed out in our preview article in this newsletter, we are more confident about them victorious this game 1, as they have a number of factors in their favor. First, we’ll start with Philly SP (starting pitcher) Cole Hamels, who is a lefty “power” pitcher, which is a bad match-up for Rays because Tampa scores a full run less vs LHPs (4.1 RPG ) than against RHPs (5.2 RPG), including just 4.4 RPG at home vs LHPs, and also has trouble with power pitchers (just 3.9 RPG, compared to their overall average of 4.8 RPG). And Hamels not only has good overall #s (17-10 with a 2.9 ERA), but also very good road #s (8-3 with a 3.1 road ERA), but he has also pitched very well so far in TY’s playoffs, with a 3-0 record and just 3 ER yielded in 22 IP. And that includes holding hot hitting LA Dodgers to just one run in 7 IP in decisive game 5 of that series in LA, and Dodgers hit lefties much better (at 5.1 RPG) than Tampa does. Hamels has just one career start against Rays, in which he did not pitch very well (5 ER in just 3.2 IP), but that was in 2006, his rookie year, when he was nowhere near as good as he is now, so we disregard that, but had to mention it.

Rays counter with a lefty ace of their own, Scott Kazmir, who has had good #s TY (13-8 with a 3.55 ERA), but not as good as Hamels. However, tonite he pitches in his best pitching “mode” (home/night) – he is 9-2 in home starts with a 3.3 ERA (1-1 in home playoff starts, with a good start vs White Sox and a bad one vs Boston), and 11-3 in night starts, with a 3.0 ERA. However, he has been inconsistent “down the stretch,” with 3 recent bad starts (9 ER in just 3 IP at home vs Boston on 9/15, 4 ER in 5 IP in loss at Detroit in key game on 9/25, and 5 ER in just 4 IP in ALCS game 2 “no decision” at home against Boston). On the other hand, he has pitched a few “gems” lately as well, such as his wasted 6 innings of shut out pitching in his last start (ALCS game 5 Tampa loss at Boston blown by Rays’ bullpen) and a 5-0 shut out of Minny Twins on Sept. 20 at home. Kaz has one start vs Philly in last 3 years, a 7-2 win at Philly in which he gave up just 2 ER in 5 IP. But that was also in 2006, against a Philly team not nearly as good as this one. And Philly has been devouring LHPs TY with a 33-22 record and average of 5.4 RPG scored against “southpaws,” including 15-10 away vs LHPs for 5.2 RPG and 12-6 away at night vs LHPs. Kaz is a power/flyball pitcher, against which Philly does OK (4.5 RPG vs both), although not as good as their overall average of 4.9 RPG.

Both bullpens have pretty equivalent numbers overall, with Tampa at 2.95 ERA at home and Philly a 3.25 away. But we believe Phils have a huge edge with closers, with “perfect” (45-0 TY in save opportunities) Brad Lidge in their pitching arsenal, and playing status (chronic back stiffness) of Tampa #1 closer Troy Percival still in doubt (did not pitch in either playoff series, and officially listed as “questionable” for World Series), and back-up Tampa closer Wheeler decent, but certainly no Lidge (and even a significant drop off from Percival, when Percy is healthy). Lidge also sports a 1.95 ERA, but it’s his microscopic 075 road ERA, in 37 IP that really gets our attention.

As far as team edges go, they cut both ways, but here are the ones we see:

Positives for Philly/negatives for Tampa
Philly is 47-39 away, including 37-25 away in night games, like this one.

The aforementioned discrepancy between the two teams vs LHPs (Philly very good, Tampa not so good, but not as bad at home)

In game one of a series, Phils have a big edge over Tampa, at 37-17 (incl 2-0 in playoffs) compared to Rays’ so-so 30-24 (and 1-1 in playoffs)

Positives for Tampa/negatives for Philly
Tampa’s great home record (now 61-26 after Rays’ 4-2 home playoff record in rounds one and two vs both “Sox teams”), as well as a good 19-7 home record in one run games (compared to Philly’s 12-14 road record in one run games)

Managing edge of Tampa’s Joe Madden over Philly’s Charlie Manuel (see our series preview article for more detail on that edge)

Tampa 12-6 TY vs NL, and Philly just 4-11 TY vs AL, but those games were all in May and June, when Philly was not playing nearly as well

The overall 60 % win percentage of AL over NL (80-53) in games played in last 24 World Series

2* (Top Play) Philadelphia Phillies Money Line (-) @ Tampa Bay

This is simply a fantastic line value to be able to get the Phillies at a pick’em price with the much stronger left-hander on the mound in Game One of the World Series so we’re kicking our level up a notch to Top Play territory here! There is simply no comparison to the way Cole Hamels has pitched for the Phillies this fall and the way that Scott Kazmir has pitched for the Rays! Yes, Kazmir bounced back and got a solid outing against Boston in Game Six of the ALCS but note what happened in that game! The Tampa Bay southpaw was staked to a 5-0 lead by the time the game reached the bottom of the third inning! That changes everything for both the hurler and the lineup he is facing. In the first two innings of the game the Red Sox got two men on in EACH inning. By the bottom of the third inning the game had already changed dramatically because Boston had a 5-0 lead. The Red Sox approach at the plate changed and Kazmir cruised from there. Don’t make the mistake of overemphasizing that start for Kazmir. That is the key point with this write-up! Prior to that start, Kazmir had allowed 11 homers in his last five outings! He’s simply not the dominant hurler that he once was and now, after facing an injury depleted Red Sox lineup that also was without the bat of Manny Ramirez, he faces arguably the most dangerous lineup in the National League!

The Phillies should pound Kazmir and, at the same time, it really shouldn’t take much run support for Hamels to get the win. The Philadelphia southpaw has arguably the most devastating change-up in all of baseball. He’s also got the numbers to show just how effective he’s been this postseason! Hamels has allowed just three earned runs on 13 hits in 22 innings of work! The Phillies have won all three of his starts and, in our opinion, his stuff is going to be much tougher for the Rays hitters to adjust to than vice versa. The Phillies lineup can, and will, catch up with a struggling Kazmir real quick. As for the fact that Rays hammered Hamels in their only shot against him, don’t be fooled. That was two and a half years ago when Hamels was a rookie and struggling. His ERA was 5.98 in July of that season before he turned things around in his rookie season. In other words, he’s a much different pitcher now and the Rays are absolutely facing one of the best in the game on Wednesday night. As for the bullpens, Tampa Bay was certainly impressive in their series win over the Red Sox but they did blow that Game Five and then struggled again before putting Game Seven away. This is in contrast with a Phillies bullpen anchored by Brad “Lights Out” Lidge and the Phils’ bullpen has not shown any signs of wearing out in the postseason. They continue to do a phenomenal job and couple that with a rock-solid lineup and a big starting pitching edge and this one easily earned Top Play status. Play Philadelphia on the money line as a Top Play selection in Game One on Wednesday night

Masterbets

Bet Under 7.5

There is a lot of firepower in both batting lineups and public awareness of that fact might be the reason why the number for this game is inflated by half a run. 7.5 doesn't look that high if you don't follow baseball, but if you do then you know there is some padding to exploit here because a match-up between Hamels and Kazmir is a pitcher's duel in the making.

Hamels is the best pitcher that the Phillies have by a distance. Kazmir is his equal, and at home following his excellent effort last time out in Boston when he left with a 7-0 lead only to see his bull pen wet themselves he is on song right now.

There is a lot of excitement for this world series and rightfully so, but this game is going to be decided on the mound and will come down to a couple of fortunate hits. We'll advise a bet on the UNDER as long as the number stays at the current 7.5 combined runs.

Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 7.5 +100 (risk 3 to win 3)

The World Series opens in Tampa tonight as the Rays host the Phillies. Cole Hamels goes for the Phillies and Scott Kazmir gets the call for the Rays. Hamels has had a good season, and has been solid of late, but his regular season road numbers vs winning teams shows something different. He has a 4.58 ERA on the road vs. top teams during the regular season. Scott Kazmir has pitched well at home with the Rays going 12-2, but his problem is too many pitches and he has exited before completing six innings more times than not. The Rays pen has been guilty of an additional 1.95 runs per game after his departure. The last 11 times Kazmir has taken the ball for the Rays an average of 12.36 runs have been scored! The last 11 times Kazmir has taken the mound, a bettor would be 11-0 playing the OVER to a total of 7.5. While both of these guys are very ogod, there's just too much here saying this one is set too low, and I'll play the OVER 7.5 which is actually an underdog line, showing great value.

Randall the Handle

HOME TEAM IN CAPS

Dallas +1.30 over NEW JERSEY (REG) PINNACLE

After going 0-4 in OT games this season, I’m going to play the dog in regulation only and may change that later. Last night was about as frustrating a night as can be, as all three games had a two-goal lead and all three lost. It was similar to Saturday’s games in which we had a lead in every game going to the third period and instead of going 4-0, I ended up with a 1-3 record. It stings but like goal scorers say, at least I’m getting the chances. Tonight I’ll play one of the most favorable angles in all of sports and that’s the “play against the team returning home from a trip” angle. The Devils played four road games in seven days and three of those were against rivals New York Rangers, Pittsburgh, and Washington. The Devils have been off since Saturday and that, too, is beneficial and it’s a nice little layoff. Besides the “angle” I like the Stars anyway. New Jersey is an offensively handicapped team and it’s just not smart to lay juice with a team that will score one or two goals per game more often then not. The Stars are coming off a nice win against the Rangers and they’re definitely not outclassed here. Also, Bobby Holik and Brian Rolston are both out for the home side and those are two guys that provide some offensive punch. In any case, the Stars are definitely live tonight and I’m on it. Play: Dallas +1.30 (Risking 2 units).



Florida +1.70 over OTTAWA (REG) PINNACLE

Despite a 2-3 record, the Panthers have been impressive and could easily be 5-1 instead of 2-3. They clearly outplayed The Hurricanes in their opening day 6-4 loss and they outplayed the Habs on Monday in a 3-1 loss. Both those games were on the road and hard work inevitably gets rewarded. Meanwhile, the Senators are a team that can be exploited in the defensive end. They allow a ton of scoring chances and their defense does not move the puck out of the zone very effectively. As a result of that the Senators are not getting enough shots on goal (27, 23, 26 and 22 over their last four games). The Sens have been a powerhouse for years but they really started to come apart at the end of last year and frankly, things don’t look much better this season. The team is in desperate need of some quality defenseman after they traded Joe Corvo late last season and lost D-men Andrej Meszaros, Wade Redden, Mike Commodore and Lawrence Nycholat this season. The main man on D this season is Flip Kuba. Bottom line is that the Sens do not warrant being a big favorite over anyone and these Panthers are definitely not getting the respect they deserve. Overlay. Play: Florida +1.70 (Risking 2 units).



CHICAGO/Edmonton over 5½ -1.05 PINNACLE

It’s no secret that scoring is up this year and the NHL would have it no other way. Offense attracts customers and the NHL has been trying to market the league in the US for years. Refs are skating with their right arm halfway in the air just waiting to make a call. Anyway, what we have here is two extremely talented offenses going at one another and there is likely going to be a ton of penalties and a ton of scoring chances. Also consider that Dwayne Roloson will be between the pipes for the Oilers and he’ll be making his first start of the year. Nikolai Khabibulin gets the call for the Blackhawks and he’s been very shaky indeed. Thus, we have two potent offenses against two questionable goaltenders and asking these two to score six seems very reasonable. Personally, I can’t stand totals but damn, this one looks very beatable. Play: Chicago/Edmonton over 5½ -1.05 (Risking 2.10 units to win 2).

Yesterday somebody in the forums mentioned RDSmith went 17-3-2 last year with 1.5* picks. I thought his highest plays were 1.5*. Didn't he know he had 4* as someone mentioned earlier today...or was that a typo for Iceman?
