Had my second great day in a row, up well over 9 units after the 8 unit win on Wednesday! Today has produced some REAL nice total plays!! Plays range from 1 to 3 units



1. San Francisco wayyyyy under 7.5 runs -110 3 units

I really like this play among 2 teams that are just not scoring of late. Oaklands last 3 games in Colorado saw them score only 3 runs in one game and get shut out the other 2 games!! When is the last time that Colorado has pitched 2 straight shutouts at home!!

In San Francisco's last 5 games, they have scored 3,3,2,1 and 1 runs. Jason Schmidt is on the hill for SF and he has a era of 2.84 for the year! But in his last 5 starts, he is even better at an era of 2.38. His mound opponent is pitching much better over his last 5 games with a 2.57 era. Blanton for Oakland has pitched 2 shutouts in his last 3 starts. One was a complete game and the other, he went 8 innings. In his last start, he gave up 2 runs in 8 complete innings!

Jason Schmidt was beaten up pretty bad in his last start, but hopefully that was a fluke judging from his earlier starts this year. His 3 previous starts saw him only give up 1 earned run and the start before that he was part of a shutout. Earlier this year he pitched a complete game shuout, so he has the ability to pitch the whole game where we wont have to worry about a bullpen.

How about a few trends:

2. Minnesota under 8 runs -108 3 units

This one will be easy!! You cant get much hotter than Santana has been lately! He is 7-4 for the season with an era of 2.87. He has always been matched up against other staff aces so he has quite a few no decisions. But important to note is that the team is 11-4 in his starts! In his last 3 starts, the team is 3-0 and he has an era of 1.35. In Santana's last 4 starts he has given up 1 earned run in each of those games. In every start but 1 this year he has pitched at least 7 innings. Strangely enough, in that one start, he only pitched 5 innings, but left with only 1 run given up! He has not given up more than 1 walk in each of his last 10 starts and didnt walk anyone in 4 of those. After an EXTREMELY slow first month of the season, he has been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball leading his team to victory in 9 out of 10 starts. His only start to lose in that period saw him give up only 2 runs in a shutout loss to Detroit 2-0.

Marmol is on the mound for Chicago. He is 1-1 for the season with an era of 2.81. In his last start, he was roughed up a bit, giving up 4 earned runs. But his only other start saw him pitch 6 innings of 2 hit ball while giving up 1 run. This one looks easy!! How about a few under trends:

<LI class=morehot>Under is 5-0-0 in Twins last 5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Under is 3-0-0 in Twins last 3 home games vs. a right-handed starter. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-0-0 in Twins last 4 home games. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-0-0 in Twins last 4 on Field Turf. <LI class=morehot>Under is 3-0-0 in Twins last 3 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. <LI class=morehot>Under is 7-1-0 in Twins last 8 night games. <LI class=morehot>Under is 7-1-0 in Twins last 8 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Under is 6-1-0 in Twins last 7 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Under is 5-1-0 in Twins last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-1-0 in Twins last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-1-0 in Twins last 5 Friday games. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-1-0 in Twins last 5 interleague night games. <LI class=morehot>Under is 4-1-0 in Twins last 5 games as a favorite. <LI class=morehot>Under is 8-2-0 in Twins last 10 overall. <LI class=more>Under is 6-2-0 in Twins last 8 games following a win. <LI class=more>Under is 6-2-0 in Twins last 8 during game 1 of a series. <LI class=more>Under is 8-3-1 in Twins last 12 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. <LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Twins last 7 vs. National League Central. <LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Twins last 7 interleague games. <LI class=more>Under is 7-3-0 in Twins last 10 interleague home games vs. a team with a losing record. <LI class=more>Under is 7-3-0 in Twins last 10 games as a home favorite of -201 or greater. <LI class=morehot>Under is 10-2-0 in Santana's last 12 starts when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. <LI class=morehot>Under is 13-3-0 in Santana's last 16 starts with 4 days of rest. <LI class=more>Under is 6-2-0 in Santana's last 8 starts as a home favorite of -201 or greater. <LI class=more>Under is 9-3-0 in Santana's last 12 home starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5. <LI class=more>Under is 13-5-0 in Santana's last 18 night starts. <LI class=more>Under is 18-7-0 in Santana's last 25 starts as a favorite. <LI class=more>Under is 10-4-0 in Santana's last 14 starts as a home favorite. <LI class=more>Under is 10-4-0 in Santana's last 14 home starts. <LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Santana's last 7 starts as a favorite of -201 or greater. <LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Santana's last 7 home starts vs. a team with a losing record. <LI class=more>Under is 9-4-0 in Santana's last 13 starts when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. <LI class=more>Under is 17-8-0 in Santana's last 25 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.<LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Cubs last 7 during game 1 of a series. <LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Cubs last 7 games as a road underdog of +151 to +200. <LI class=more>Under is 5-2-0 in Cubs last 7 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter.

3. Minnesota -1.5 runs -110 2 units
This play would be a 3 unit play, but I am little worried about Minnesota's offense. I really am not looking for Minnesota to score more than 4 runs in this game. But using the data above, you can see why I would LOVE THIS PLAY!! In his last 10 starts, one was a loss and only 2 of the 9 wins were by 1 run. Most games were well over 3 run difference.
