Kansas City +1.55 over TORONTO (12:25 PM)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
fficeffice" /><o
></o>
The Royals are a joke and whenever you wager on them it’s a pretty big gamble. However, with a day game after a night game, the Jays will rest some regulars and besides that, David Bush is not worthy of a tag like this. Give the Royals a real good chance to leave town with a rare win this afternoon. Play Kansas City +1.55 (Risking 1.5 units). <o></o>
<o></o>
NY Mets +1.70 over CHICAGO (2:20 PM)<o></o>
We find some real value here on the Mets, as Victor Zambrano has the stuff to shut down any team in the majors. He did a find job on the Brewers last game out and hopefully he can carry that into this game. Mark Prior is the goods, there’s no disputing that, however, if the wind is blowing in at Wrigley this could easily be one of those 1-0 or 2-1 games and chances are very good that the pens will decide this one. With that in mind, how can you not play the Mets at this price? Play: NY Mets +1.70 (Risking 1.5 units). <o></o>
<o></o>
San Diego –1.05 over CINCINNATI (12:35 PM)<o></o>
Tim Stauffer was brought up from Triple-A to make his major league debut and replace No. 5 starter Tim Redding, who will be out at least 3-4 weeks because of a rotator-cuff strain. Stauffer, 22, was 2-0 with a 2.33 ERA at Portland and he'll pitch on an extra day of rest today. However, this is not about playing on Tim Stauffer. This choice is all about playing against the Reds Paul (I can’t get an out) Wilson. Numerous arm ailments have slowed Wilson. He didn't get an out in his most recent start on Friday, giving up eight runs to the Dodgers. Wilson lasted just 1 1/3 innings against the Padres in an August start, allowing seven runs. He's 1-6 against them with an 8.82 ERA in 33.2 innings. The Reds don’t do much right while the Padres do most things well and San Diego’s bullpen lays over Cinci’s. Play: San Diego –1.05 (Risking 1.52 units to win 1.5). <o></o>
<o></o>
Los Angeles +1.27 over ST. LOUIS (8:05 PM)<o></o>
Jeff Suppan favored over Brad Penny is just wrong and that’s all there is to it. Suppan has been brutally ineffective in his own barn where he owns a 5.14 ERA in four starts and that’s actually flattering. He’s only answered the bell in the sixth inning in one of his four home starts. He does not possess one strong pitch and barely gets by changing speeds and trying to keep the hitters off balance. That hasn’t worked so well and additionally his walk to strike out ratio is just as bad as his stuff. He’s walked 15 and struck out 18 and this mound battle tonight heavily favors the Dodgers. Brad Penny is pure power and pure talent. He’s given up just 11 hits in 18 innings while striking out 13 and walking three. The opposition is hitting a measly .172 against him and he comes in with a 2.00 ERA. This is as good as it gets as far as value is concerned, as the wrong side is favored here. Think Blue. Play Los Angeles +1.27 (Risking 1.5 units). <o></o>
<o></o>
Houston +1.55 over FLORIDA (7:05 PM)<o></o>
Dontrelle Willis has been as good as it gets in the league this year and that’s pretty much all there is to say about that. The Marlins are a much better team than the Astros and that’s pretty much all there is to say about that. However, Roy Oswalt is a stud that hasn’t had a tag on him like this in years. He’s among the best pitchers in the majors and getting value like this on him simply cannot be ignored. Oswalt is capable of throwing a complete game gem and all we’re asking of the Astros tonight is for two or three runs and we’ll have a great chance to cash this ticket. Big overlay. Play: Houston +1.55 (Risking 1.5 units). <o></o>
<o></o>
Minnesota -1½ +1.05 over BALTIMORE (3:05 PM)<o></o>
Take the AL’s most feared pitcher and put him in against this way over-rated offense and we’ll gladly take our chances laying the runs. Baltimore was able to go deep several times against Brad Radke but asking this team to string together some hits and score runs against Santana is a huge difference. Minnesota will score on Sidney Ponson. We’d take the Twins offense over the Orioles in a heartbeat and so would 29 other managers in the business. Again, we hate to harp on the same thing but the Orioles are looking worse at the plate each day and this team is not even close to being a contender in any division, let alone the AL East. Baltimore is going to fade real fast and we’ll keep our eye on them because we’re going to get some great value playing against them. We’d be shocked if this one was close. Play: Minnesota –1½ +1.05 (Risking 1.5 units).
