Devil Rays at Angels
Prediction: Angels
RHP Bartolo Colon prepares to make his second start of the season for the Anaheim Angels this afternoon against the visiting Devil Rays. Prior to his first start, Colon had not pitched since last July because of a rotator cuff injury. The veteran righty looked good in his last start, notching a win and recording a 1.29 ERA with no walks. Colon has also had success in his career against the Devils Rays posting a 8-1 career record along with a stable 3.36 ERA. Look for more of the same from Colon this afternoon as he helps his team bring home the cash. Final notes and trends: The Rays have failed to convert in 42 of their last 51 road games against right-handed starters. Play on LAA -1.5 runline
Scott Spreitzer
MLB for 04/26/2007
Blue Jays at Yankees
Prediction: Yankees
Today's matchup features A.J. Burnett taking on baseball's No. 1 pitching prospect, Philip Hughes. The 20-year-old was the Yankees' top draft-pick in 2004, straight out of high school. In three seasons in the minors (41 starts), the right-hander owned a 21-7 record with a 2.12 ERA. He allowed just 200 base runners (146 hits, 54 BB) in 233 1/3 IP. That's a 0.86 WHIP! Last season alone, Hughes finished with 168 strikeouts in 146 innings of work! He's off to a solid start in Triple-A this year and struck out 10 batters in just six innings pitched last time out. I truly believe this will be one of just a couple times where we will be able to lay less than two dollars with Hughes at Yankee Stadium. And with the run support he's likely to get, we'll lay it with the rookie in his debut. The Yankees get the nod on Thursday

MLB Toronto vs New York (A)
Take Under
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Yankees and Blue Jays game. This game will mark the debut of one of the most highly touted pitching prospects in baseball. His name is Philip Hughes, and the surprising fact is that he will be donning the pinstripes of the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are perhaps the team one thinks of the least when it comes to young pitching prospects, as George Steinbrenner has historically dealt away his young arms to get established veterans for the playoff run. But New York kept Hughes in its system, and with injuries to Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano, manager Joe Torre decided to call him up from Scranton-Wilkes Barre. He was 2-1 this season with a 3.94 ERA, including 6 shutout innings (and 10 strikeouts) last Wednesday vs. Syracuse. I look for both the 20-year old Hughes and his mound opponent, A.J. Burnett, to have good outings tonight. Like Hughes, Burnett was also strong in his last start, a 7 inning, 2 run performance.
Take the 'under'. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

Take (953) CIN Reds
There's no denying it anymore: The defending champs aren't hitting. The Cardinals have scored more than three runs only five times and have outhit opponents in only seven games. The Cardinals are 4.5 games behind first-place Milwaukee. They face Cincy starter Kyle Lohse (1.91), who is finding the NL to his liking after spending most of his career in Minnesota's Metrodome. Lohse doesn't walk anyone (3 walks in 28 innings) and has an incredible 23-3 K/BB ratio. St. Louis is still awaiting the return of ace Chris Carpenter and trots out retread Randy Keisler. Keisler has a career 6.60 ERA in 144 innings.
Play the Reds
Dave Cokin
Take (953) CIN Reds
Kyle Lohse is on fire for the Reds and will look to stay that way as Cincy wraps up a series with the Cardinals. The key to Lohse's early season success has been his outstanding control, and that's where he rates a clear edge over Cardinals lefty Randy Keisler. Lohse has had runs like this in the past where he looks untouchable for awhile and then falls apart. That will likely happen again at some point, but until it does, he's worth riding.
The Reds are the choice here.
MATT *****
MLB Boston vs. Baltimore
Take Boston Red Sox
Boston has had its ups and downs against the competition in the American League East but one team it has dominated has been the Orioles. The Red Sox have won 21 of the last 26 meetings between the two teams including nine of the last 11 in Baltimore. The Orioles had a serious run going, winning eight of nine games but they have fallen flat with three straight losses. Boston got back into the win column on Wednesday with a 6-1 victory following a sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays in a short two-game series. Josh Beckett is coming off his worst start of the season against the Yankees but it wasn’t a horrible outing. He allowed four runs in 6.2 innings but it looks worse than it was based on the fact that he was coming off three straight quality starts where he allowed just one run in each. He is 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA on the season and he is starting similar to last season where he went 11-4 prior to the All-Star break. He faced the Orioles once last season, allowing only two hits and a run in seven inning in Camden Yards in an 11-1 Boston win. The Orioles are hoping the control problems plaguing Adam Loewen are a thing of the past but it isn’t likely. He leads all of baseball with 19 walks and last season, he issued 62 bases on balls in just 112.1 innings pitched. His .553 BB/IP was fifth worst in all of baseball. This season he has yet to lose and has posted a solid 3.72 ERA but his WHIP of 1.91 in horrendous as his command is not where it should be and he will pay for it against the potent Boston offense. The Red Sox are hitting .310 against lefties in their last 10 games and are 3-1 against left-handed starters. During this recent run against Baltimore, the Red Sox have not only won, but won big as those 21 victories have come by an average of 3.8 rpg. With the moneyline approaching -160, the safest bet is to go runline while getting a great price to top it off. Play on favorites against a runline (with a team batting average of .265 or worse on the season against an opponent with a pitcher whose WHIP is 2.00 or worse over his last 3 starts. This situation is 64-41 (61 percent) over the last five seasons and we add to it here.

HOME TEAM IN CAPS
Detroit –1.04 over CHICAGO PINNACLE
The Tigers are always dangerous because of a very threatening line-up and the scary thing is they haven’t even warmed up yet. When they get going they’re going to be very difficult to beat and when they throw a lefty the quality of Nate Robertson out there you can double the difficulty of beating them. Robertson is 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA and he’ll face one of the easier White Sox line-ups in the past three years. Offensively, the White Sox rank 29th out of 30 teams in combined hits. Their team batting average is .228, which is also second last in the league. The South Side will hand the ball to Jose Contreras and he’s also having some trouble, as he’s walked as many batters as he’s struck out. The Tigers are the best team in the majors in working the count in their favor and that should bode very well here against Contreras. All things considered the Tigers are very appealing in this one and we’re on it. Play: Chicago –1.04 (Risking 2.08 units to win 2).
Tampa Bay +1.77 over L.A. ANGELS (3:30 PM) PINNACLE
Bartolo Colon came off the DL and proceeded to win his debut in fine form that saw him surrender just seven hits in seven innings and allow just one run. That came against the Mariners, a team that ranks near the bottom or at the bottom of every offensive category. Fact is, Colon has never been on a conditioning program and is completely out of shape. He’s pitched very little over the past year and for a 37-year old overweight pitcher that will not bode well this season. Colon may not get his ass handed to him here but don’t bet against it. Furthermore, these Angels aren’t very impressive either. They have one steak in the line-up (Vlad) with the rest being a bunch of below average hitters or very average. This is very beatable team and whenever Colon is this big a tag you can pencil us in on the pooch. The Devil Rays are amongst the league leaders offensively and we’ll gladly take our chances on them here. Play: Tampa Bay +1.77 (Risking 2 units).

20* MLB Getaway Day Game of the Month (3-0 with 20* TY in MLB!)
My 20* play is on the Oak A's at 3:35 ET. The Mariners lost 17 of 19 games to the A's last year but opened the '07 season by taking two of the three from Oakland at Safeco back on April 2-4. Last night, Jarrod Washburn threw a two-hitter against the A's in Oakland, as the Mariners made it three out of four in 2007 over the A's (won 2-0). Oakland starter Blanton did his job but the A's could get to a guy making his first road start in 2007, after posting a 5.88 ERA in 16 road starts in 2006 (go figure?). Oakland's starting rotation has posted an impressive 2.07 ERA in 2007, holding opponents to three or fewer earned runs in all but one outing and lefty Joe Kennedy will try and keep pace this afternoon. Kennedy spent most of his first five seasons in the majors as a starter (primarily with TB and Col), before being used strictly out of the bullpen by the A's last year. It has seemingly turned his career around. From 2001-05, Kennedy was a pathetic 35-51 (4.91), as his teams went 47-76 in his starts. In 2006, pitching strictly in relief (39 appearances), his ERA was 2.31. With all the defections on the Oakland staff, Kennedy has made three starts in 2007, going at least five innings in each one, while allowing just three ERs (1.69 ERA in those three starts!). He should be confident here, as in 11 career appearances (four starts) against the Mariners, he's got a 1.77 ERA. As for the Mariners, they will counter with Miguel Batista. In 14 career games vs the A's (seven starts), he's 2-3 with a 6.62 ERA. Batista was Toronto's closer in 2005 (31 saves) and went 11-8 (4.58) as a starter for Arizona in '06. He's made three starts this year for the Mariners, posting an 8.83 ERA. Everything points to the A's here.

Take the Rangers as a road dog for the win this afternoon in Cleveland.
The Tribe sends Paul Byrd to the hill and he’s had his troubles against Texas in his career. Byrd is 1-5 with a 7.46 ERA in six lifetime starts against the Rangers.
Kameron Loe made his first start of the season on Saturday and he got the win over the A’s, pitching 5 1-3 scoreless innings, giving up three hits and striking out five.
The Tribe have had bullpen issues this year and if Byrd gets into any kind of trouble the Rangers could run away with this one.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS
Detroit (12-9) at Chicago White Sox (11-9)
The Tigers and White Sox conclude a brief two-game set at U.S. Cellular Field, with Detroit lefty Nate Robertson (2-1, 2.05 ERA) set to battle Jose Contreras (1-2, 6.16).
Detroit arrived in Chicago on Wednesday in a 2-4 slump, but scored a 6-2 victory to even the season series at 2-2. Despite the defeat, the White Sox are still 6-2 in their last eight.
The road team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings, though the Tigers are still just 4-10 in their last 14 in the Windy City.
Robertson and Contreras dueled against one another on Saturday in Motown, and neither was around for the decision as Chicago prevailed 7-5 in extra innings. Contreras allowed all five of his team’s runs on five hits over seven innings, while Robertson gave up four runs (two earned) and five hits in 6 1/3 innings.
For his career, Robertson is 4-6 with a 4.93 ERA in 15 starts against the White Sox, including 1-2 with a 5.26 ERA in six outings at U.S. Cellular Field. He’s surrendered three earned runs or fewer in seven of his last 10 games versus Chicago.
Robertson has allowed two earned runs or fewer in all four of his starts. He’s 1-1 with a 1.26 ERA in two road games.
Contreras’ lone home start this year came on Opening Day, and it was a disaster, as he lasted just one inning, giving up eight runs (seven earned) on seven hits. The veteran righthander is 8-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 17 starts against the Tigers. In two home starts last year, he gave up two earned run in 16 innings, and the ChiSox won both contests.
Chicago is hitting just .197 against lefthanders.
The under is 7-3 in Contreras’ last 10 starts versus Detroit (4-1 at home) and 7-3 in Robertson’s last 10 against the White Sox (3-1 in Chicago).
Both teams had topped the total in four straight games before Wednesday night’s contest stayed low. The under is now 11-1 in the last 12 Tigers-White Sox battles at U.S. Cellular
Field.

Pick Cards -105 to Fly Over Reds
The Cardinals evened up this series with a victory here last night, and we now look for them to take the rubber match.
St. Louis has dominated this series here at home, going 20-9 in the last 29 head-to-head meetings in Busch Stadium. Yes, Kyle Loshe had pitched 15 innings in his last two starts without giving up an earned run, while the St. Louis offense is struggling. However, we feel that both of those facts are anomalies. Lohse has never exhibited this kind of brilliance before, and you just know that the Cardinal batters will start hitting soon.
In other words, a correction is in order here for both sides, and we would not be surprised if it begins today with the Redbirds knocking Lohse out of the box and getting the home win at this cheap price.
Teddy Covers(comp)
Cincinnati @ St Louis
The Cardinals have been getting whipped at home this year, just 2-7 playing at Busch Stadium. They’ve been outscored 46-25 at Busch so far this year; 43-10 in the seven losses. Opposing teams have scored first in 15 of the Cardinals 20 games this season. St Louis has scored only 70 runs in those twenty games –only the lowly Nationals are averaging less than the 3.5 runs per game that the Cardinals have produced so far this season. This is an easy team to bet against right now, particularly when they are facing solid pitching.
The Reds Kyle Lohse is in the midst of the best start to a season in his career. Lohse’s has thrown three absolute gems in his four starts this year, allowing just six earned runs in more than 28 innings of work with a truly impressive 23-3 strikeout to walk ratio. The Reds have won his last two starts 2-1 and 1-0. Reds GM Wayne Krivsky: "He's showing the type of things we thought he was capable of. He's been aggressive with his pitches, working ahead of hitters and changing speeds. Lohse held the Cardinals to one run in seven innings of work at Busch Stadium last August. Anything resembling that type of a showing here should be enough to get the Reds into the win column this afternoon.
Take Cincinnati -105
Mike Rose
Kansas City Royals (140)
The Royals extended the Twins losing ways last night when they went into the Twinkie Dome and handed the home team a 4-3 loss. They got an excellent performance out of Odalis Perez who went six innings, and the Royals pen earned a bit of self confidence after pitching three scoreless innings to hammer the win home. Something is just not right with the Twins right now. They've now lost 5 of their L/6 overall, and their bats have gone scary silent. Their 3-5 hitters went a combined 0-10 last night, and shutting down the likes of Kubel, Mauer, & Morneau will allow you to pitch deep into games. Zach Greinke got roughed up a bit by these Twins, and he'll no doubt be in search of redemption in this spot. I look for him to bounce back here with a solid effort and pick up the win here against Boof Bonder who got the best of him on Saturday. Greinke's ERA and hit allowed per inning pitched aren't that impressive, but he comes in ranked as a "AA" pitcher according to what I look at, and having Charlie Belford and his large strike zone behind the dish will make it that much harder for the Twins to find their offensive stroke. The Royals are playing some competitive ball ion year two of the Bell regime, and I like them at the plus money this afternoon.
Philadelphia Phillies (-205)
The Nats have been the Phills whipping boys through the first two games of their series, and I'm expecting more of the same this afternoon when young Cole Hamels trots out to the bump to do battle with the Nats Shawn Hill. The Phillies offense has erupted for 15 runs in the first two games of this series, and that's a blessing for them in this spot as Shawn Hill hasn't been the easiest to hit so far this season. He comes into this game with a 2.92 ERA, and he's only given up 10 earned runs in close to 25 innings pitched. That being said, Cole Hamels has been flat out nasty in his first four starts only allowing 23 hits in 28 innings of work and 8 earned runs while striking out 33 and walking 6. To make matters worse for the Nats, they can't hit left-handed pitching to save their lives. They did get the best of Jamie Moyer a couple nights ago, but they had the benefit of seeing him just five days earlier in Washington. They rank 24th out of 30 against south paws with a .227 batting average and a .324 slugging percentage; not good. This is an exceptional amount of chalk to have to lay here, but the Phills have the advantage on the mound and in the box and they have to beat teams like this if they're going to inch closer to .500 after getting off to a slow start. Break out the brooms here people as the Phills take care of business

Game: Kansas City at Minnesota (1:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Minnesota -148
Minnesota has now lost three straight at home and it has been almost two full seasons since they have lost four. The last two times they rebounded with shutouts of 5-0 and 9-0. Zack Greinke is winless in his last four starts against Minnesota and will face Boof Bonser today. Bonser is allowing a .242 BAVG against at home where he has pitched better. He allowed just 24 walks in over 100 innings last year and the Royals will need to hit their way on. We have one of the best home teams in baseball over the past few years going against one of the worst road teams, so we look for the Twins to bounce back big in this one.

10 DIMER - SAN DIEGO PADRES WITH YOUNG
Have to lay the juice tonight with the Padres on the road, as Chris Young just doesn't get beat that often on the highway.
The Diamondbacks were able to snap a 5 game slide with the 3-2 win last night, but that was with their "ace" Brandon Webb on the hill. Livan Hernandez hasn't pitched bad this year, but he did get roughed up by the Friars his last time out, as Diego reached him for 7 runs over 5 innings of work.
The Padres have gone 7-6 on the road this season, and Chris Young is coming off a 7 inning, 1 run effort at Colorado in his last start to improve to 2-1 for the young season.
Young also pitched well in his last start at Arizona, as he held the Snakes to just 1 run over 7 frames for the "W".
I will go with the Padres to take the rubber-game of the series tonight.

Play against all favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 with an overused bullpen that pitches more than 3.2 innings per game, with a hot starting pitcher- ERA less than 2.50 over his last 3 starts. The Yankees have a suspect and overused bullpen and that is what these systems underscore in a big way. I am puzzled why the line would be so darn other than the public truly believes there is just NO way this all-star lineup could lose 6 straight. Yankees offense, as long as A-Rod continues to light up the pitchers, has been scoring runs. If A-Rod should cool off, which he will at some point, these Yankees become a below average team because the bullpen is one of the worst in baseball. Over the 5 game losing streak the Yankees bullpen has allowed a 5.26 ERA with a horrifying 1.791 WHIP. Toronto on the other hand sports one of the best bullpens sporting a season 3.23 ERA and has posted an ERA of 3.37 over their past 7 games.

Devil Rays at Angels
Prediction: Angels
RHP Bartolo Colon prepares to make his second start of the season for the Anaheim Angels this afternoon against the visiting Devil Rays. Prior to his first start, Colon had not pitched since last July because of a rotator cuff injury. The veteran righty looked good in his last start, notching a win and recording a 1.29 ERA with no walks. Colon has also had success in his career against the Devils Rays posting a 8-1 career record along with a stable 3.36 ERA. Look for more of the same from Colon this afternoon as he helps his team bring home the cash. Final notes and trends: The Rays have failed to convert in 42 of their last 51 road games against right-handed starters. Play on LAA -1.5 runline
Scott Spreitzer
MLB for 04/26/2007
Blue Jays at Yankees
Prediction: Yankees
Today's matchup features A.J. Burnett taking on baseball's No. 1 pitching prospect, Philip Hughes. The 20-year-old was the Yankees' top draft-pick in 2004, straight out of high school. In three seasons in the minors (41 starts), the right-hander owned a 21-7 record with a 2.12 ERA. He allowed just 200 base runners (146 hits, 54 BB) in 233 1/3 IP. That's a 0.86 WHIP! Last season alone, Hughes finished with 168 strikeouts in 146 innings of work! He's off to a solid start in Triple-A this year and struck out 10 batters in just six innings pitched last time out. I truly believe this will be one of just a couple times where we will be able to lay less than two dollars with Hughes at Yankee Stadium. And with the run support he's likely to get, we'll lay it with the rookie in his debut. The Yankees get the nod on Thursday

MLB Toronto vs New York (A)
Take Under
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the 'under' in the Yankees and Blue Jays game. This game will mark the debut of one of the most highly touted pitching prospects in baseball. His name is Philip Hughes, and the surprising fact is that he will be donning the pinstripes of the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are perhaps the team one thinks of the least when it comes to young pitching prospects, as George Steinbrenner has historically dealt away his young arms to get established veterans for the playoff run. But New York kept Hughes in its system, and with injuries to Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano, manager Joe Torre decided to call him up from Scranton-Wilkes Barre. He was 2-1 this season with a 3.94 ERA, including 6 shutout innings (and 10 strikeouts) last Wednesday vs. Syracuse. I look for both the 20-year old Hughes and his mound opponent, A.J. Burnett, to have good outings tonight. Like Hughes, Burnett was also strong in his last start, a 7 inning, 2 run performance.
Take the 'under'. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

Take (953) CIN Reds
There's no denying it anymore: The defending champs aren't hitting. The Cardinals have scored more than three runs only five times and have outhit opponents in only seven games. The Cardinals are 4.5 games behind first-place Milwaukee. They face Cincy starter Kyle Lohse (1.91), who is finding the NL to his liking after spending most of his career in Minnesota's Metrodome. Lohse doesn't walk anyone (3 walks in 28 innings) and has an incredible 23-3 K/BB ratio. St. Louis is still awaiting the return of ace Chris Carpenter and trots out retread Randy Keisler. Keisler has a career 6.60 ERA in 144 innings.
Play the Reds
Dave Cokin
Take (953) CIN Reds
Kyle Lohse is on fire for the Reds and will look to stay that way as Cincy wraps up a series with the Cardinals. The key to Lohse's early season success has been his outstanding control, and that's where he rates a clear edge over Cardinals lefty Randy Keisler. Lohse has had runs like this in the past where he looks untouchable for awhile and then falls apart. That will likely happen again at some point, but until it does, he's worth riding.
The Reds are the choice here.
MATT *****
MLB Boston vs. Baltimore
Take Boston Red Sox
Boston has had its ups and downs against the competition in the American League East but one team it has dominated has been the Orioles. The Red Sox have won 21 of the last 26 meetings between the two teams including nine of the last 11 in Baltimore. The Orioles had a serious run going, winning eight of nine games but they have fallen flat with three straight losses. Boston got back into the win column on Wednesday with a 6-1 victory following a sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays in a short two-game series. Josh Beckett is coming off his worst start of the season against the Yankees but it wasn’t a horrible outing. He allowed four runs in 6.2 innings but it looks worse than it was based on the fact that he was coming off three straight quality starts where he allowed just one run in each. He is 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA on the season and he is starting similar to last season where he went 11-4 prior to the All-Star break. He faced the Orioles once last season, allowing only two hits and a run in seven inning in Camden Yards in an 11-1 Boston win. The Orioles are hoping the control problems plaguing Adam Loewen are a thing of the past but it isn’t likely. He leads all of baseball with 19 walks and last season, he issued 62 bases on balls in just 112.1 innings pitched. His .553 BB/IP was fifth worst in all of baseball. This season he has yet to lose and has posted a solid 3.72 ERA but his WHIP of 1.91 in horrendous as his command is not where it should be and he will pay for it against the potent Boston offense. The Red Sox are hitting .310 against lefties in their last 10 games and are 3-1 against left-handed starters. During this recent run against Baltimore, the Red Sox have not only won, but won big as those 21 victories have come by an average of 3.8 rpg. With the moneyline approaching -160, the safest bet is to go runline while getting a great price to top it off. Play on favorites against a runline (with a team batting average of .265 or worse on the season against an opponent with a pitcher whose WHIP is 2.00 or worse over his last 3 starts. This situation is 64-41 (61 percent) over the last five seasons and we add to it here.

HOME TEAM IN CAPS
Detroit –1.04 over CHICAGO PINNACLE
The Tigers are always dangerous because of a very threatening line-up and the scary thing is they haven’t even warmed up yet. When they get going they’re going to be very difficult to beat and when they throw a lefty the quality of Nate Robertson out there you can double the difficulty of beating them. Robertson is 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA and he’ll face one of the easier White Sox line-ups in the past three years. Offensively, the White Sox rank 29th out of 30 teams in combined hits. Their team batting average is .228, which is also second last in the league. The South Side will hand the ball to Jose Contreras and he’s also having some trouble, as he’s walked as many batters as he’s struck out. The Tigers are the best team in the majors in working the count in their favor and that should bode very well here against Contreras. All things considered the Tigers are very appealing in this one and we’re on it. Play: Chicago –1.04 (Risking 2.08 units to win 2).
Tampa Bay +1.77 over L.A. ANGELS (3:30 PM) PINNACLE
Bartolo Colon came off the DL and proceeded to win his debut in fine form that saw him surrender just seven hits in seven innings and allow just one run. That came against the Mariners, a team that ranks near the bottom or at the bottom of every offensive category. Fact is, Colon has never been on a conditioning program and is completely out of shape. He’s pitched very little over the past year and for a 37-year old overweight pitcher that will not bode well this season. Colon may not get his ass handed to him here but don’t bet against it. Furthermore, these Angels aren’t very impressive either. They have one steak in the line-up (Vlad) with the rest being a bunch of below average hitters or very average. This is very beatable team and whenever Colon is this big a tag you can pencil us in on the pooch. The Devil Rays are amongst the league leaders offensively and we’ll gladly take our chances on them here. Play: Tampa Bay +1.77 (Risking 2 units).

20* MLB Getaway Day Game of the Month (3-0 with 20* TY in MLB!)
My 20* play is on the Oak A's at 3:35 ET. The Mariners lost 17 of 19 games to the A's last year but opened the '07 season by taking two of the three from Oakland at Safeco back on April 2-4. Last night, Jarrod Washburn threw a two-hitter against the A's in Oakland, as the Mariners made it three out of four in 2007 over the A's (won 2-0). Oakland starter Blanton did his job but the A's could get to a guy making his first road start in 2007, after posting a 5.88 ERA in 16 road starts in 2006 (go figure?). Oakland's starting rotation has posted an impressive 2.07 ERA in 2007, holding opponents to three or fewer earned runs in all but one outing and lefty Joe Kennedy will try and keep pace this afternoon. Kennedy spent most of his first five seasons in the majors as a starter (primarily with TB and Col), before being used strictly out of the bullpen by the A's last year. It has seemingly turned his career around. From 2001-05, Kennedy was a pathetic 35-51 (4.91), as his teams went 47-76 in his starts. In 2006, pitching strictly in relief (39 appearances), his ERA was 2.31. With all the defections on the Oakland staff, Kennedy has made three starts in 2007, going at least five innings in each one, while allowing just three ERs (1.69 ERA in those three starts!). He should be confident here, as in 11 career appearances (four starts) against the Mariners, he's got a 1.77 ERA. As for the Mariners, they will counter with Miguel Batista. In 14 career games vs the A's (seven starts), he's 2-3 with a 6.62 ERA. Batista was Toronto's closer in 2005 (31 saves) and went 11-8 (4.58) as a starter for Arizona in '06. He's made three starts this year for the Mariners, posting an 8.83 ERA. Everything points to the A's here.

Take the Rangers as a road dog for the win this afternoon in Cleveland.
The Tribe sends Paul Byrd to the hill and he’s had his troubles against Texas in his career. Byrd is 1-5 with a 7.46 ERA in six lifetime starts against the Rangers.
Kameron Loe made his first start of the season on Saturday and he got the win over the A’s, pitching 5 1-3 scoreless innings, giving up three hits and striking out five.
The Tribe have had bullpen issues this year and if Byrd gets into any kind of trouble the Rangers could run away with this one.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS
Detroit (12-9) at Chicago White Sox (11-9)
The Tigers and White Sox conclude a brief two-game set at U.S. Cellular Field, with Detroit lefty Nate Robertson (2-1, 2.05 ERA) set to battle Jose Contreras (1-2, 6.16).
Detroit arrived in Chicago on Wednesday in a 2-4 slump, but scored a 6-2 victory to even the season series at 2-2. Despite the defeat, the White Sox are still 6-2 in their last eight.
The road team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings, though the Tigers are still just 4-10 in their last 14 in the Windy City.
Robertson and Contreras dueled against one another on Saturday in Motown, and neither was around for the decision as Chicago prevailed 7-5 in extra innings. Contreras allowed all five of his team’s runs on five hits over seven innings, while Robertson gave up four runs (two earned) and five hits in 6 1/3 innings.
For his career, Robertson is 4-6 with a 4.93 ERA in 15 starts against the White Sox, including 1-2 with a 5.26 ERA in six outings at U.S. Cellular Field. He’s surrendered three earned runs or fewer in seven of his last 10 games versus Chicago.
Robertson has allowed two earned runs or fewer in all four of his starts. He’s 1-1 with a 1.26 ERA in two road games.
Contreras’ lone home start this year came on Opening Day, and it was a disaster, as he lasted just one inning, giving up eight runs (seven earned) on seven hits. The veteran righthander is 8-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 17 starts against the Tigers. In two home starts last year, he gave up two earned run in 16 innings, and the ChiSox won both contests.
Chicago is hitting just .197 against lefthanders.
The under is 7-3 in Contreras’ last 10 starts versus Detroit (4-1 at home) and 7-3 in Robertson’s last 10 against the White Sox (3-1 in Chicago).
Both teams had topped the total in four straight games before Wednesday night’s contest stayed low. The under is now 11-1 in the last 12 Tigers-White Sox battles at U.S. Cellular
Field.
LT Profits
Pick Cards -105 to Fly Over Reds
The Cardinals evened up this series with a victory here last night, and we now look for them to take the rubber match.
St. Louis has dominated this series here at home, going 20-9 in the last 29 head-to-head meetings in Busch Stadium. Yes, Kyle Loshe had pitched 15 innings in his last two starts without giving up an earned run, while the St. Louis offense is struggling. However, we feel that both of those facts are anomalies. Lohse has never exhibited this kind of brilliance before, and you just know that the Cardinal batters will start hitting soon.
In other words, a correction is in order here for both sides, and we would not be surprised if it begins today with the Redbirds knocking Lohse out of the box and getting the home win at this cheap price.
Teddy Covers(comp)
Cincinnati @ St Louis
The Cardinals have been getting whipped at home this year, just 2-7 playing at Busch Stadium. They’ve been outscored 46-25 at Busch so far this year; 43-10 in the seven losses. Opposing teams have scored first in 15 of the Cardinals 20 games this season. St Louis has scored only 70 runs in those twenty games –only the lowly Nationals are averaging less than the 3.5 runs per game that the Cardinals have produced so far this season. This is an easy team to bet against right now, particularly when they are facing solid pitching.
The Reds Kyle Lohse is in the midst of the best start to a season in his career. Lohse’s has thrown three absolute gems in his four starts this year, allowing just six earned runs in more than 28 innings of work with a truly impressive 23-3 strikeout to walk ratio. The Reds have won his last two starts 2-1 and 1-0. Reds GM Wayne Krivsky: "He's showing the type of things we thought he was capable of. He's been aggressive with his pitches, working ahead of hitters and changing speeds. Lohse held the Cardinals to one run in seven innings of work at Busch Stadium last August. Anything resembling that type of a showing here should be enough to get the Reds into the win column this afternoon.
Take Cincinnati -105
Mike Rose
Kansas City Royals (140)
The Royals extended the Twins losing ways last night when they went into the Twinkie Dome and handed the home team a 4-3 loss. They got an excellent performance out of Odalis Perez who went six innings, and the Royals pen earned a bit of self confidence after pitching three scoreless innings to hammer the win home. Something is just not right with the Twins right now. They've now lost 5 of their L/6 overall, and their bats have gone scary silent. Their 3-5 hitters went a combined 0-10 last night, and shutting down the likes of Kubel, Mauer, & Morneau will allow you to pitch deep into games. Zach Greinke got roughed up a bit by these Twins, and he'll no doubt be in search of redemption in this spot. I look for him to bounce back here with a solid effort and pick up the win here against Boof Bonder who got the best of him on Saturday. Greinke's ERA and hit allowed per inning pitched aren't that impressive, but he comes in ranked as a "AA" pitcher according to what I look at, and having Charlie Belford and his large strike zone behind the dish will make it that much harder for the Twins to find their offensive stroke. The Royals are playing some competitive ball ion year two of the Bell regime, and I like them at the plus money this afternoon.
Philadelphia Phillies (-205)
The Nats have been the Phills whipping boys through the first two games of their series, and I'm expecting more of the same this afternoon when young Cole Hamels trots out to the bump to do battle with the Nats Shawn Hill. The Phillies offense has erupted for 15 runs in the first two games of this series, and that's a blessing for them in this spot as Shawn Hill hasn't been the easiest to hit so far this season. He comes into this game with a 2.92 ERA, and he's only given up 10 earned runs in close to 25 innings pitched. That being said, Cole Hamels has been flat out nasty in his first four starts only allowing 23 hits in 28 innings of work and 8 earned runs while striking out 33 and walking 6. To make matters worse for the Nats, they can't hit left-handed pitching to save their lives. They did get the best of Jamie Moyer a couple nights ago, but they had the benefit of seeing him just five days earlier in Washington. They rank 24th out of 30 against south paws with a .227 batting average and a .324 slugging percentage; not good. This is an exceptional amount of chalk to have to lay here, but the Phills have the advantage on the mound and in the box and they have to beat teams like this if they're going to inch closer to .500 after getting off to a slow start. Break out the brooms here people as the Phills take care of business

Pick: Minnesota -148
Minnesota has now lost three straight at home and it has been almost two full seasons since they have lost four. The last two times they rebounded with shutouts of 5-0 and 9-0. Zack Greinke is winless in his last four starts against Minnesota and will face Boof Bonser today. Bonser is allowing a .242 BAVG against at home where he has pitched better. He allowed just 24 walks in over 100 innings last year and the Royals will need to hit their way on. We have one of the best home teams in baseball over the past few years going against one of the worst road teams, so we look for the Twins to bounce back big in this one.

10 DIMER - SAN DIEGO PADRES WITH YOUNG
Have to lay the juice tonight with the Padres on the road, as Chris Young just doesn't get beat that often on the highway.
The Diamondbacks were able to snap a 5 game slide with the 3-2 win last night, but that was with their "ace" Brandon Webb on the hill. Livan Hernandez hasn't pitched bad this year, but he did get roughed up by the Friars his last time out, as Diego reached him for 7 runs over 5 innings of work.
The Padres have gone 7-6 on the road this season, and Chris Young is coming off a 7 inning, 1 run effort at Colorado in his last start to improve to 2-1 for the young season.
Young also pitched well in his last start at Arizona, as he held the Snakes to just 1 run over 7 frames for the "W".
I will go with the Padres to take the rubber-game of the series tonight.

Here is the third system that has produced a 31-25 record and has made 32.8 units in profits since 2001. Play against all favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 with an overused bullpen that pitches more than 3.2 innings per game, with a hot starting pitcher- ERA less than 2.50 over his last 3 starts. The Yankees have a suspect and overused bullpen and that is what these systems underscore in a big way. I am puzzled why the line would be so darn other than the public truly believes there is just NO way this all-star lineup could lose 6 straight. Yankees offense, as long as A-Rod continues to light up the pitchers, has been scoring runs. If A-Rod should cool off, which he will at some point, these Yankees become a below average team because the bullpen is one of the worst in baseball. Over the 5 game losing streak the Yankees bullpen has allowed a 5.26 ERA with a horrifying 1.791 WHIP. Toronto on the other hand sports one of the best bullpens sporting a season 3.23 ERA and has posted an ERA of 3.37 over their past 7 games.

MLB Boston vs. Baltimore - Take Under
The Red Sox won 6-1 at Baltimore yesterday, winning for the 21st time in the last 24 meetings between the two teams (11-2 at Camden Yards). It was Baltimore's third straight home loss, as the teamn has stopped hitting. Baltimore has scoreda total of eight runs in the three losses, including just three runs (on 11 hits) over the last two! I don't expect things to get much better for the Baltimore bats tonight, facing Josh Beckett. Beckett is 4-0 (2.55) so far in 2007, allowing just one Er in three of his four starts. The good news for Baltimore is that the Orioles a starting a lefty, in Adan Loewn. Boston was just 10-19 agaisnt lefties on the road LY and Loewen has been pretty good in his four starts in 2007. He's 2-0 with a 3.72 ERA overall 9team is 3-1 in his starts), posting a 1.69 ERa in two home starts agianst Detroit and Toronto. I'll play this game under,
