Spreadsheet Notes:
Service Play Spreadsheet
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Only three of the seven services in the top group of this spreadsheet were active yesterday. But all three of those active top group services were winners: Brandon Lang (15* to 20* Plays) went 1~0, Wunderdog went 1~0 and Larry Ness went 2~0.
<o></o>
Larry Ness had been in a tailspin but appears to be back to his winning ways again. Before hitting a losing streak that began about a week ago, Ness had been near the very top of the group with an incredible record and winning percentage. Let’s hope Larry Ness is back to picking winners again.
<o></o>
Lower down on the spreadsheet, in the second group, Bob Balfe and Scotty Spreitzer both went 1~0 last night. I mention this because Balfe has had four winning days out of five (4~1 on those days) and Spreitzer has had four winning days in a row (4~0 on those days).

Service Fade Spreadsheet
<o></o>
Very little activity on the FADES sheet yesterday. Only two of the services ranked in the top group had plays available to us for tracking….and they did not prove to be very good fade material at all. Stu Feiner (200* Plays) went 1~1 and Gator went 1~0. I still am having a hard time not believing that Gator is due for a long string of losers again, but we better continue to take a “wait and see” approach with him yet because he has had three winning days out of the last four tracked days (going 3~1 over that span).

Note: Reposting the Service Plays
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Due to my inability in the afternoon to always repost the service plays from Bookie Buster’s NBA Forum thread in a timely manner, $4Nothing has offered to repost the plays here on the Baseball Forum.
<o></o>
Yesterday, $4Nothing created a totally separate thread titled “Service Plays”. He did a great job reposting these plays for all of us and offering to help out with my afternoon time crunch issues.
<o></o>
I am unsure if $4Nothing will do the same again today (start a new thread), or if he will repost the plays here on this thread. (I am hoping he posts them here since the spreadsheets and spreadsheet notes are here and it’s easier to have everything in the same thread).
<o></o>
But to avoid confusion, please be informed that the service plays will either appear on this thread later today or the service plays could appear in a totally separate thread created by $4Nothing.
<o></o>
And if all else fails, you can of course go to Bookie Buster’s NBA Forum thread (which will probably be titles “Thursday Service Plays”). Bookie Buster typically begins posting the service plays around 3:00 PM Central Standard Time.

TWINS (With Ortiz as listed pitcher)
Take the Twins for the road win over the Devil Rays.
Ramon Ortiz gets the nod for Minnesota tonight and he’s having a fine year so far. The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA in five games and he checks in with an impressive 0.97 WHIP. In 35 innings, Ortiz has issued only six free passes. His mound opponent tonight, James Shields, has the capability of racking up the strikeouts having fanned 37 batters through five starts. But Shields has a tendency of leaving the ball up and over the plate, which has led to seven homeruns allowed in just 36 innings. Minnesota is more fundamentally sound than Tampa is, and I expect them to take advantage of the mistakes Shields will make in the strike zone.
Take the Twins for the road win.
5 Dime –
METS (With Glavine and Owings as listed pitchers)
Take the Mets as the road chalk for the win over Arizona.
New York sends Tom Glavine to the mound tonight and he’s 10-3 with a 2.27 ERA in 14 career starts against the Diamondbacks. The Mets are one of the best hitting teams in the National League and they also sport one of the lowest team ERA’s in the senior circuit.
Not a good combination for Arizona to be facing tonight. Micah Owings gets the start for the snakes, and the right-hander has the misfortune of facing a Mets team that has been a huge money maker vs. righties on the road in night games so far in 2007.
Lay the juice and take the Mets for the road win.

Houston's park is small, not good for fly ball pitchers. And if it comes down to the battle of the bullpens, the Reds' pen has been awful.

Toronto +1.52 over CLEVELAND PINNACLE
Cliff Lee is coming off the DL and making his first start of the year and thus, this is a pretty steep tag on a guy that hasn’t pitched yet. Sure, Lee is a decent starter and he’s a southpaw but so what. He’s always very hittable and comes in with a career ERA of 4.39 with the opposition hitting .268 off him in 109 major league starts. Dustin McGowan was called up from the minors and he, too, will make his first major league start of the year. However, McGowan is no stranger to the big leagues, as he’s made 10 starts over the past two years. We liked McGowan when he was with the big club, as he has some really nasty stuff and can be very difficult to hit. Hopefully the setting will not rattle him because the kid can pitch and he’s been dominating in the minors. This season in five minor league starts his ERA is 1.64 and with that in mind and with Lee coming off the DL, we’ll gladly take our chances with the Blue Jays. Play: Toronto +1.52 (Risking 2 units).
Cincinnati/HOUSTON under 9 –1.05 PINNACLE
Lefty, lefty match-up here sees Wandy Rodriguez facing off against Eric Milton. The knock on Rodriguez in the past was his inability to keep ahead of the hitters but this year that has changed, as Rodriguez has walked just eight in 26 frames. He’s also struck out 24 batters and that should bode very well here against the Reds, a squad that collectively strikes out often. Rodriguez is a good one and despite his 0-3 record his ERA is 2.77 at Minute Maid. Eric Milton also throws strikes and it’s rare to see Milton walk more then one batter in a ball game. It’s also worth noting that the Astros are struggling at the plate and that they’re just 1-7 against southpaws. Asking these two free-swinging clubs to score 10 combined seems like a bit of a stretch and thus, we’re going under. Play: under 9 –1.05 (Risking 2.10 units to win 2).
Larry Ness' 15* NL Game of the Week (21-5 w/15* GOW plays in MLB '07!)
My 15* play is on the NY Mets at 9:40 ET. The Mets have been much better on the road (9-3) than they've been at home (7-7) this year, so they should be looking forward to this seven-game road trip. It starts with this four-game series at Arizona, where the team's won 10 straight, last losing on 5/11/04! The ageless Tom Glavine has followed last year's brilliant season (team was 26-9 in his starts, including the postseason), by going 3-1 (2.80 ERA) in six starts (team is 4-2) to open 2007. He's got a 1.93 ERA in four road starts so far (team is 3-1) and that bodes well at Chase Filed, where he is an incredible 8-1 (1.37 ERA) in nine career starts (he's 10-3 with a 2.27 ERA in 14 LT starts vs the D'backs). Righty Micah Owings is coming off the DL to make the start for Arizona. He won his ML debut at Washington (7-1) on April 6 (5 IP / 1 H / 0 ERs) but in his next two starts had an ERA of 4.35. Now, with his right hamstring healed (?), he faces a Met team that went 37-22 vs right-handers on the road in 2006 and is 7-2 vs righties away from Shea this year, including a perfect 6-0 in night games, averaging 7.5 RPG!

Bonus Play: Toronto Blue Jays vs Cleveland Indians
At 7:05pm our complimentary selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Cleveland Indians. Indians lefthanded veteran starter Cliff Lee finally gets his first start tonight after beginning the season on the DL with an abdominal injury. It turns out that his first game back will be against another starter seeing his first action of the season at the Major League level, young righthander Dustin McGowan. Although not as well known as Lee, the 25 year old McGowan is somebody who the Blue Jays will be counting on. Not only is McGowan the former #1 draft pick of the franchise in 2000 who has seen limited action with the Blue Jays the past 2 seasons while honing his skills in the Minors, but he is now being asked to fill the important rotation spot being vacated by Gustavo Chacin's recent trip to the DL. Although not that impressive in 2005 or 2006 with the Jays, McGowan has been extremely sharp at AAA Syracuse this spring with a 1.64 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 22 innings. If the Tribe wanted an easy first spot for Lee, it would appear they are getting anything but that as Toronto is one of the best hitting teams in the entire league against southpaws, batting .298 against them so far. Take the Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. Al McMordie has made HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars for his clients over the years in Big Races like the Kentucky Derby (Remember Big Al's Bonus Pick on Giacomo at 50-1 in 2005), and this Saturday, Al is targeting another LONGSHOT to get into the Winner's Circle.

100-Unit NL Road Warrior - PHILLIES (Play only with Eaton as listed pitcher for Philadelphia)
The Phillies have won eight of their last 12 games and have dominated the Giants lately, winning seven of the last eight times these two teams have met.
Today Philadelphia sends Adam Eaton (2-2, 7.71 ERA) to the mound to face the Giants' Matt Cain (1-1, 1.54). Eaton has had plenty of chances against San Francisco and has held the Giants to four earned runs or less in nine of the last 10 times he's faced them.
The Giants haven't been able to give Cain any support this season as he's managed to hold the opposition to just six earned runs in five games, but the Giants have scored just 12 runs in his five outings.
Last year the Phillies jumped all over Cain in May with six runs on nine hits in four innings in an 8-3 victory in Philadelphia. He held the Phillies to one run on one hit in six innings in July, but the Phillies still scored the 6-2 win, dominating the weak San Francisco bullpen.
Let's take the plus money Phillies to win this one and continue dominating the Giants.
100-Unit AL E-Z Call - DEVIL RAYS (Play only with Shields as listed pitcher for Tampa Bay)
This series is all tied up after six games this season as Tampa Bay scored a 4-3 win Wednesday and today send James Shields (2-0, 3.75 ERA) to the mound.
Shields is coming off a great outing in Oakland where he held the A's to one run on four hits in eight innings in a 4-1 victory. In his last two games he's allowed three runs on six hits in 16 innings.
Minnesota sends Ramon Ortiz (3-1, 2.57 ERA) to the hill. He has given up five runs on 12 hits in 13 innings in his last two outings, a win in Detroit and a loss in Kansas City.
The Devil Rays have won three of their last five games and is playing some decent baseball right now. Shields is pitching extremely well right now and we're going to back the home team in this matchup. Play Tampa Bay.

10 DIMER - MINNESOTA TWINS WITH ORTIZ
How did the Twins blow last night's game!? Minny was sitting on a 3-1 lead with their closer Joe Nathan all set to close it out, but they wound up losing it 4-3 in 10 innings of play. I expect Minnesota to bounce-back with the win in the series finale today. The Twins own a 6-2 record at Tampa Bay the last couple of years, and they are 15-4 overall against Tampa since 2005. I know the past results came when the Rays had some bad squads and Tampa is vastly improved this season, but I still think Minny is the better team on the field tonight.

100,000? Giants
Astros- Interesting match up here as two winless pitchers face-off in this match up. However, once you break down this game, you'll see the Astros are the clear choice in this one.
First and foremost, you've got two southpaws facing off, both of which are desperately searching for their first win of the season. The only problem for the Reds Eric Milton is he'll be facing an Astros team which despite an overall below average offense, has hit lefties well this season, averaging .268 against them.
The same cannot be said for the Reds facing Wandy Rodriguez, as Cincinnati has struggled against left-handed pitching, averaging .244 and making a bad habit of striking out against them, with 81 Ks against southpaws this season.
Next, you've got to consider the two bullpens, one of the biggest disparities between these two clubs. The Astros have posted a 3.88 bullpen ERA, incl. 2.87 ERA over their last 3 games. While the Reds have posted a 4.46 bullpen ERA, with an astronomical 6.35 ERA over their last 3... Starting to see my point?!
Bottom line, the knock against the Astros has always been offense, but in this case, they should do just fine against southpaw Eric Milton tonight. While Rodriguez shouldn't have much trouble against a Reds club that just wants to go home after their 9-game road trip ends tonight.
Take the Astros behind Rodriguez over the Reds in this NL Central showdown.
Giants- Talk about a pitching mismatch, as Adam Eaton squares off against the Giants ace Matt Cain. What can you say about Eaton, except he struggled through April. His 7.71 ERA should tell you something, and the fact he got two wins should also tell you something about the Phillies offense. This time around however, the Phillies batting order won't be there to save him. Why? Two words: Matt Cain.
Despite his 1-1 record, Cain has posted an extraordinary 1.54 ERA. He also leads the league in opponents batting average, allowing them to hit just .100 so far this season. Those numbers are impressive to say the least, and with the Giants offense hitting well , Cain will get more than enough support to bury the Phillies in this one.
Besides the fact Bonds has hit Eaton very well, the Giants as a team are hitting .274 against righties over their last 10 games. After getting swept at Arizona, San Fran has rebounded well at home, taking 2 of 3 from Colorado and are poised to take this first game from Philadelphia.
While the Phillies offense has been red-hot, Matt Cain has a way of cooling off hot hitters in a hurry. Don't expect the same results from Eaton, who's coming off his worst start of the year, allowing 7 runs on 7 hits over 4 2/3 innings, while walking 4 against the Braves. He hasn't done much better against the Giants, going 2-5 with a 4.57 ERA in 13 career appearances. Bottom line, Giants protect their house behind a strong pitching edge in this one!
Take the Giants behind Cain over the Phillies in late MLB action.

Minnesota at Tampa Bay (MLB), 7:10 PM ET
Ramon Ortiz didn't earn a win in his last start, but he continued to pitch well enough to put the Twins in a situation to win. Ortiz scraped together six innings and likely could have gone longer if he handled the strike zone better. He gave up two runs on five hits and four walks, but threw 107 pitches. He left with the Twins trailing, 2-0, although they eventually went on to win, 5-3. His 6-1 career record against the Rays is his best against any team he's faced.
James Shields has turned into the staff's most consistent pitcher, and the right-hander's encore performance following the best outing of his career demonstrated as much. Shields allowed just one run on four hits, while striking out nine against the A's on Friday night to claim his second win of the season. Shields is 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA in one career start against the Twins.

At 7:05pm our complimentary selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Cleveland Indians. Indians lefthanded veteran starter Cliff Lee finally gets his first start tonight after beginning the season on the DL with an abdominal injury. It turns out that his first game back will be against another starter seeing his first action of the season at the Major League level, young righthander Dustin McGowan. Although not as well known as Lee, the 25 year old McGowan is somebody who the Blue Jays will be counting on. Not only is McGowan the former #1 draft pick of the franchise in 2000 who has seen limited action with the Blue Jays the past 2 seasons while honing his skills in the Minors, but he is now being asked to fill the important rotation spot being vacated by Gustavo Chacin's recent trip to the DL. Although not that impressive in 2005 or 2006 with the Jays, McGowan has been extremely sharp at AAA Syracuse this spring with a 1.64 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 22 innings. If the Tribe wanted an easy first spot for Lee, it would appear they are getting anything but that as Toronto is one of the best hitting teams in the entire league against southpaws, batting .298 against them so far. Take the Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. Al McMordie has made HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars for his clients over the years in Big Races like the Kentucky Derby (Remember Big Al's Bonus Pick on Giacomo at 50-1 in 2005), and this Saturday, Al is targeting another LONGSHOT to get into the Winner's Circle. Bet this horse 'across the board' and make a fortune!

100-Unit NL Road Warrior - PHILLIES (Play only with Eaton as listed pitcher for Philadelphia)
The Phillies have won eight of their last 12 games and have dominated the Giants lately, winning seven of the last eight times these two teams have met.
Today Philadelphia sends Adam Eaton (2-2, 7.71 ERA) to the mound to face the Giants' Matt Cain (1-1, 1.54). Eaton has had plenty of chances against San Francisco and has held the Giants to four earned runs or less in nine of the last 10 times he's faced them.
The Giants haven't been able to give Cain any support this season as he's managed to hold the opposition to just six earned runs in five games, but the Giants have scored just 12 runs in his five outings.
Last year the Phillies jumped all over Cain in May with six runs on nine hits in four innings in an 8-3 victory in Philadelphia. He held the Phillies to one run on one hit in six innings in July, but the Phillies still scored the 6-2 win, dominating the weak San Francisco bullpen.
Let's take the plus money Phillies to win this one and continue dominating the Giants.
100-Unit AL E-Z Call - DEVIL RAYS (Play only with Shields as listed pitcher for Tampa Bay)
This series is all tied up after six games this season as Tampa Bay scored a 4-3 win Wednesday and today send James Shields (2-0, 3.75 ERA) to the mound.
Shields is coming off a great outing in Oakland where he held the A's to one run on four hits in eight innings in a 4-1 victory. In his last two games he's allowed three runs on six hits in 16 innings.
Minnesota sends Ramon Ortiz (3-1, 2.57 ERA) to the hill. He has given up five runs on 12 hits in 13 innings in his last two outings, a win in Detroit and a loss in Kansas City.
The Devil Rays have won three of their last five games and is playing some decent baseball right now. Shields is pitching extremely well right now and we're going to back the home team in this matchup. Play Tampa Bay.

10 DIMER - MINNESOTA TWINS WITH ORTIZ
How did the Twins blow last night's game!? Minny was sitting on a 3-1 lead with their closer Joe Nathan all set to close it out, but they wound up losing it 4-3 in 10 innings of play. I expect Minnesota to bounce-back with the win in the series finale today. The Twins own a 6-2 record at Tampa Bay the last couple of years, and they are 15-4 overall against Tampa since 2005. I know the past results came when the Rays had some bad squads and Tampa is vastly improved this season, but I still think Minny is the better team on the field tonight.
Go with the Twins

Drew Gordon...
100,000? Astros
100,000? Giants
Astros- Interesting match up here as two winless pitchers face-off in this match up. However, once you break down this game, you'll see the Astros are the clear choice in this one.
First and foremost, you've got two southpaws facing off, both of which are desperately searching for their first win of the season. The only problem for the Reds Eric Milton is he'll be facing an Astros team which despite an overall below average offense, has hit lefties well this season, averaging .268 against them.
The same cannot be said for the Reds facing Wandy Rodriguez, as Cincinnati has struggled against left-handed pitching, averaging .244 and making a bad habit of striking out against them, with 81 Ks against southpaws this season.
Next, you've got to consider the two bullpens, one of the biggest disparities between these two clubs. The Astros have posted a 3.88 bullpen ERA, incl. 2.87 ERA over their last 3 games. While the Reds have posted a 4.46 bullpen ERA, with an astronomical 6.35 ERA over their last 3... Starting to see my point?!
Bottom line, the knock against the Astros has always been offense, but in this case, they should do just fine against southpaw Eric Milton tonight. While Rodriguez shouldn't have much trouble against a Reds club that just wants to go home after their 9-game road trip ends tonight.
Take the Astros behind Rodriguez over the Reds in this NL Central showdown.
Giants- Talk about a pitching mismatch, as Adam Eaton squares off against the Giants ace Matt Cain. What can you say about Eaton, except he struggled through April. His 7.71 ERA should tell you something, and the fact he got two wins should also tell you something about the Phillies offense. This time around however, the Phillies batting order won't be there to save him. Why? Two words: Matt Cain.
Despite his 1-1 record, Cain has posted an extraordinary 1.54 ERA. He also leads the league in opponents batting average, allowing them to hit just .100 so far this season. Those numbers are impressive to say the least, and with the Giants offense hitting well , Cain will get more than enough support to bury the Phillies in this one.
Besides the fact Bonds has hit Eaton very well, the Giants as a team are hitting .274 against righties over their last 10 games. After getting swept at Arizona, San Fran has rebounded well at home, taking 2 of 3 from Colorado and are poised to take this first game from Philadelphia.
While the Phillies offense has been red-hot, Matt Cain has a way of cooling off hot hitters in a hurry. Don't expect the same results from Eaton, who's coming off his worst start of the year, allowing 7 runs on 7 hits over 4 2/3 innings, while walking 4 against the Braves. He hasn't done much better against the Giants, going 2-5 with a 4.57 ERA in 13 career appearances. Bottom line, Giants protect their house behind a strong pitching edge in this one!
Take the Giants behind Cain over the Phillies in late MLB action.

Minnesota at Tampa Bay (MLB), 7:10 PM ET
Ramon Ortiz didn't earn a win in his last start, but he continued to pitch well enough to put the Twins in a situation to win. Ortiz scraped together six innings and likely could have gone longer if he handled the strike zone better. He gave up two runs on five hits and four walks, but threw 107 pitches. He left with the Twins trailing, 2-0, although they eventually went on to win, 5-3. His 6-1 career record against the Rays is his best against any team he's faced.
James Shields has turned into the staff's most consistent pitcher, and the right-hander's encore performance following the best outing of his career demonstrated as much. Shields allowed just one run on four hits, while striking out nine against the A's on Friday night to claim his second win of the season. Shields is 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA in one career start against the Twins.

200 DIME MLB No Brainer ...NEW YORK METS
This is not a very steep price to play with on a Mets team that is better than Arizona and has dominated the Dimaondbacks in recent years. New York is 9-3 on the road this year and has won 10 straight at Chase Field. Overall, the Mets have won 12 of the last 14 meetings and Tom Glavine will help continue that dominance tonight. He's 10-3 with a 2.27 ERA in his career versus the Snakes and is 8-1 leftetime at Chase Field. This year he has a 1.93 ERA in four road starts and is backed by a pen that sports a 0.91 ERA on the highway. New York pitching will contain this so-so Arizona offense.
Arizona rookie Micah Owings makes his first start since going on the DL with a sore hamstring. I don't expect the Diamondbacks, losers of two straight, will push it too much with Owings and his sore hammy tonight. He's 0-1 with a 4.36 ERA in two home straikes and the Mets should get plenty of hacks as he does throw strikes. April NL Player of the Month Jose Reyes and the Mets will be ready tonight and they'll take this first game of a weekend four-game set.

Ortiz is off to a strong overall start in 2007 and he's put up nothing but solid numbers in his career against TB and at Tropicana Field. He should get solid backing tonight. The Twins absolutely rip righties. They're 5-1 in this scenario in 2007, plating 7.17 runs per game. Look for Minnesota to knock Shields out relatively early, then take it to the league's worst bullpen. Minnesota is my 3* Thursday Hammer. Thanks! GL! Scott.

They should have little trouble topping their per game average against Kevin Millwood. The Ranger righty has been knocked around in his last three starts and owns weak career numbers against the Yankees. Look for New York to handle the Rangers with relative ease. The Yankees are my Thursday TKO. Thanks! GL! Scott.
