Big Al McMordie
Diamondbacks at Phillies
Prediction: Phillies
This is a rare matchup of two lefty starters who are both well over 40 years old. The Phillies' Jamie Moyer is 44 while the Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson is 43, making the combined age of this matchup a remarkable 87 years. While Johnson has been the more dominating pitcher throughout his career and is pretty much guaranteed a spot in the Hall of Fame, Moyer's fate is less certain. Yet, the elder Phillie has been more durable throughout his career due in no small part to the fact that Moyer has never been a hard thrower or strikeout pitcher. And speaking of durability, Moyer's mound opponent has had quite a few issues already this season - Johnson spent the first three weeks of the season on the DL and now is making his first start since May 20 when he was sidelined with forearm tendinitis. The Big Unit has not fared well recently against Philadelphia with his team having lost his last three starts against the Phillies. The Phillies are 10-3 in Moyer's last 13 starts and 19-7 in their last 26 games as the favorite. Take Philadelphia.

Marc Lawrence
Orioles at Royals
Prediction: Orioles
The Orioles send rising star Eric Bedard (3-3, 4.10 ERA) to the hill in Kansas City. The lefty is in solid current form having allowed just eight earned runs in his last 34 innings of work. Meanwhile, Royals right-hander Gil Meche (3-3, 3.18 ERA) has struggled in his last two outings (19 hits and 12 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings). Look for the Royals to dip to 2-7 in Game 3 of a home series tonight

Alex Smart
Yankees at Blue Jays
Prediction: Yankees
Jays right-hander Jesse Litsch gets the start tonight against the struggling Yankees. Litsch has looked a little ragged in his last two starts having gone 0-1 with a bloated 7.56 ERA and allowing 15 hits including three homers in just 8 1/3 innings of work. This young hurler is exactly what the Yankees need to break out of their current slump. Note: The Yankees have had measured success against right-handers like Litsch this season hitting them for a .276 batting average and scoring an average of 5.4 runs per game. It's rare to get value by backing the over-hyped Yankees, but this is one of those occasions. Notch one up for the visiting Zoo Crew here this evening as they avoid being swept in back-to-back series'.

Ben Burns
Yankees at Blue Jays

Prediction: 'Under'
After another low-scoring game yesterday, the Yankees have now seen the 'under' go 4-0 their last four games and a profitable 14-4-2 their last 20. They've also seen the 'under' go a solid 13-6-1 their last 20 games versus the Jays. Meanwhile, yesterday's result also brought the 'under' to a perfect 9-0 in Toronto's last nine home games and 16-3 in their last 19. Jays right-hander Jesse Litsch, who has seen the 'under' go 3-0 in his three starts, was outstanding in his lone game in Toronto allowing just four hits and one run through 8 2/3 innings. That game finished with a 2-1 final score. New York RHP Tyler Clippard was also strong in his lone road start holding the powerful Mets to three hits and one run through six complete innings. Consider a play on the 'under'.

Game: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota (1:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Chicago White Sox -104

Something has to give here. The Twins have not swept the White Sox at home since 2004. Minnesota is hot, but the White Sox are 7-2 at the Metrodome with Garland on the hill. Scott Baker gets the start vs. the White Sox, and he could not get out of the 5th inning in his only appearance against them last year. The entire Twins offense hits just .250 vs. Garland in over 200 at bats, and good pitching is always a remedy vs. hot hitting. We will ride the White Sox to avoid the sweep.

Dave Cokin
Take "(976) TAM Devil Rays"

James Shields is earning a reputation for owning one of the best changeups in the game, and if you get a chance to see him pitch, you'll quickly see why. He's got perfect mechanics on the pitch and a ton of late movement as it dives down and in to righty hitters. Nasty pitch! Shields has been hurt by his bullpen but has given his team a good chance to win nearly every one of his starts, and I like his shot tonight against the Tigers. Nate Robertson has been forced out on heavy pitch counts by the sixth inning on a regular basis, and the Detroit bullpen is beat up badly right now. Plus, Robertson has had trouble with the D-Rays. Good spot for Tampa Bay to bounce back from the Tuesday shellacking with the Wednesday win."

Jim Feist

Take "(973) CLE Indians"

Two of the best offensive teams in baseball meet, which means the game could come down to the bullpens more than the starting pitching. Also, which Daisuke Matsuzaka is going to show up? He's been prone to walks at times, and in his last start he had the flu and struggled through five innings. Pitchers need strength and one has to wonder if 5 days later Dice-K is fully recovered. Cleveland starter Paul Byrd (5-1, 3.81 ERA) has been outstanding, painting the corners (he's walked 3 in 52 innings!) A great spot for the talented live dog. Play the Indians!

Larry Ness' Las Vegas Insider-MLB (first totals play of the '07 season!)

My Las Vegas Insider is on Felix Hernandez of the Mariners and Jered Weaver of the Angels are two of MLB's best young pitchers. However, I feel as if this game has a great chance of going 'over' the total. Since returning from the disabled list, Hernandez has lacked the level of endurance he demonstrated at the season's start. The Seattle Mariners are also exercising caution with their budding ace. Hernandez begrudgingly left after 5.1 innings in his last start, a 10-2 win on Friday at Kansas City, after experiencing tightness in his lower back. His outing was the longest of three starts since he was on the disabled list from April 23-May 15 because of a strained right forearm flexor muscle. Hernandez has totaled only 14 innings in that span (4.50 ERA)! Weaver is 4-3 with a 3.68 ERA in eight starts in 2007. He's averaged less than six innings in his starts, after opening the season on the DL with recurring biceps tendonitis. Weaver threw only five innings Friday, allowing three runs and seven hits, but earned the win in a 10-6 victory over the Yankees in New York. Seattle had scored 50 runs in its previous five games, before last night's 4-1 loss and has averaged 5.44 RPG in 25 road games this year. The angels are 18-7 at home in 2007, while averaging 5.36 RPG at Edison Field. The total is low and I see both starters gone by the sixth. This game is headed OVER! Las Vegas Insider Sea/LAA Over

GAME: Chicago White Sox @ Minnesota Twins May 30, 2007 1:10PM
SPORT: Major League Baseball Picks
PICK: under
Offered at: 9 Sportsbook
REASON FOR PICK: 4* CHICAGO WHITE SOX/MINNESOTA Under

We have gone to the well and cashed 5* tickets behind Scott Baker in each of his first two starts since being called back up with the Twins, and today we go to the window again, with a different take. In what looks like a solid pitchers duel pitcher Baker and Jon Garland, a full "9" gives us a terrific comfort zone.

We have delved into the Baker background story already but here is the short version – he did not have the command of all of his stuff when injuries made him part of the full-time Minnesota rotation LY, and as a result walked away with a 5-8/6.37 that certainly gave the betting markets the right to sour on him. But it was just a matter of more seasoning, and his command with AAA Rochester was just what the Twins wanted to see – he had only four walks to go with 41 strikeouts when they called him up again. Now two wins later it looks like he is here for good – he has only allowed 11 hits in 13.2 innings, and is one K away from having twice as many strikeouts as walks allowed. And with last night’s easy win, all of the key arms in the bullpen are rested and ready to go behind him (Joe Nathan has had two straight nights off).

The White Sox bullpen is also lined up with all of the key arms rested and ready, but Garland’s form means that not all that much will be needed from them. When he is on he is one of the most efficient workers in the game and that has been the story in this last stretch – in six of his last seven starts he only walked a single batter, and the only game that he walked more than one was a commanding win over the Yankees anyway. He has worked to a solid 1-0/2.05 on the road, and combines with Baker to give us one of those subtle edges that means so much when playing an Under – these two do not walk many hitters, and as such big innings are hard to come by.

The Spurs under Head Coach Gregg Popovich came back from the vacation they took to view Salt Lake City in Game Three, and handled the Jazz easily on the Road in Game Four. They look to wrap up another Conference Championship with a win here in front of the Home Faithful this evening. Positive trends for the Spurs include 6-1 Against The Spread at Home in this match up, 7-2 ATS in the Conference Finals, and 29-17 ATS as Home Favorites in this point range.
The Jazz under Head Coach Jerry Sloan failed to protect their Home Court, and showed little in the second half of Game Four. They have played well throughout the Playoffs, and were well-Coached to even get this far during the post season. Negative trends for the Jazz include 18-31 ATS in this match up over the past 10 seasons, 9-22 ATS as Road Dogs in this point range, 16-33 ATS Revenging a Straight Up Home loss, and 39-64 ATS on the Road when the Total is in this point range.

It's never easy to win the 4th game of a playoff series and even though I do indeed feel SA will win this game, I don't feel they'll do it by the posted spread.

Utah will be playing for their life tonight and we've seen a lot of teams stave off elimination in Games where you thought they had no shot. We saw the Nets do it to the Cavs in Game 5, we saw the Bulls do it to the Pistons in Game 5 and I feel we'll see Utah stay with the Spurs here.

In the end, San Antonio will win but they won't win by enough to cover. Take Utah here plus the points.

San Francisco Giants at New York Mets
Wednesday, May 30th, 7:10 PM EDT

After the Giants hit two solo homers in last night's opening inning and Delgado countered with a round-tripper of his own the Mets got homer happy and hit a lot of fly ball outs last night. That and some base-running blunders kept them from beating the Giants in regulation time. Look for a more diligent effort this evening as the Mets try to get their veteran lefty Glavine closer to 300 wins. The NY METS are 21-7 against the money line in home games vs. a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or less hits/start over the last 3 seasons and 64-38 against the money line vs. an average bullpen whose ERA is 3.75 to 4.50 over the last 2 seasons. GLAVINE is 75-43 against the money line vs. poor baserunning teams - averaging 0.5 or less SB's/game since 1997. (Team's Record)

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Utah (9-7, 9-6-1 ATS) at San Antonio (11-4, 10-4-1 ATS)
Having scored an impressive Game 4 victory in Salt Lake City on Monday night, the Spurs return home on the precipice of capturing the Western Conference championship for the second time in the last three years.
Leading by just a single point heading into the fourth quarter, San Antonio stepped up and made big shots, including a bevy of free throws, outscoring the Jazz 28-17 over the final 12 minutes en route to a 91-79 victory as a two-point road favorite. The Spurs lead this best-of-seven series 3-1 and can punch their ticket to the NBA Finals if they can defeat Utah at home for the 19th consecutive time.
San Antonio’s victory in Game 3 snapped an 8-0 SU and ATS run by the home team in this rivalry. Also, not only was it the Spurs’ first win in four games at Salt Lake City this year, but they snapped a nine-game playoff losing skid in Utah that dated to 1993.
The straight-up winner is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings, including 8-0 ATS this year. Also, the straight-up winner is 18-0-1 ATS in San Antonio’s last 19 overall and 25-1-1 ATS in Utah’s last 27 overall.
San Antonio is on a 35-10 SU tear going back to mid-February, including 11-3 in the last 14. During this 44-game stretch, the Spurs are 20-5 at home (17-8 ATS), including 6-2 SU and ATS in the postseason. In the first two games of this series in Texas, the Spurs prevailed 108-100 and 105-96, cashing as a 6½-point chalk in both contests.
Not only have the Spurs defeated Utah 18 consecutive times in San Antonio, they’ve gotten the cash in each of the last five meetings at the AT&T Center.
Utah is mired in a 4-15 slump as a visitor (5-14 ATS), with the straight-up winner covering the spread in 18 of those 19 contests. In the playoffs, the Jazz are 2-6 on the road (3-5 ATS).

NATIONAL LEAGUE


San Francisco (24-26) at N.Y. Mets (33-17)
A couple of veteran southpaws are scheduled to battle one another at Shea Stadium, as Tom Glavine (5-2, 3.39 ERA) takes the ball for the Mets against San Francisco’s Barry Zito (4-5, 4.70) in the middle game of this series.
The Giants have followed a four-game winning streak with a four-game losing streak following Tuesday’s heartbreaking 5-4 12-inning loss in New York. San Francisco had taken a 4-3 lead in the top of the 12th, only to see closer Armando Benitez blow the game by balking home the game-tying run, then surrendering a walk-off homer to Carlos Delgado.
The Mets have won four in a row and 14 of their last 19, going 8-3 at home during this stretch. New York has also taken three of four from the Giants this season
Glavine pitched well in Thursday’s 2-1 loss at Atlanta, giving up two runs on five hits in six innings. Now five wins shy of 300 for his career, Glavine has allowed three earned runs or fewer and he’s pitched at least six innings in nine of his 11 starts.
After two straight disastrous outings at the A’s and Rockies (13 earned runs in 10 innings), Zito bounced back nicely against Houston a week ago, going seven innings while allowing a run on four hits in a 9-1 victory.
Glavine is 2-0 with a 4.88 ERA in four starts at Shea Stadium, as the Mets have supported him with 6.5 runs per game in those contests. Meanwhile, Zito is 1-3 with a 6.26 ERA in four starts on the road, with the Giants averaging just 3.75 runs per game of support.
Zito defeated the Mets in San Francisco back on May 7, yielding three runs in six innings of a 9-4 victory, his first-ever appearance against New York. One night later, Glavine took the mound at AT&T Park and tossed a seven-inning gem, giving up just a run on seven hits in a 4-1 victory. He’s 20-15 with a 3.54 ERA in 43 lifetime starts against the Giants, yielding two runs or less in four of his last fiv

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Seattle (25-23) at L.A. Angels (32-21)
A matchup of two of the best young arms in baseball is set for Angel Stadium tonight, where Seattle’s Felix Hernandez (3-2, 2.87) will face Jered Weaver (4-3, 3.68) in the finale of a three-game series.
Seattle had its four-game winning streak snapped in Tuesday’s XX loss in Anaheim, and it was the first time in six games that the Mariners failed to tally at least seven runs. Despite that setback, the Mariners have still won six of their last eight, all on the road.
Los Angeles is on a 15-5 run and is 18-7 at home this season, including 6-1 in the last seven.
The Angels have won 14 of the last 18 meetings against Seattle, including six of eight this year. Also, the Mariners are just 1-8 in their last eight visits to Angel Stadium.
In three starts since returning from a month-long stint on the disabled list because of an arm injury, Hernandez has gone 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA, walking five and striking out 14. In his most recent outing on Friday in Kansas City, the righthander lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on seven hits in a 10-2 victory.
Seattle is 5-2 when Hernandez starts this year, including an 11-3 win over the Angels in the Pacific Northwest back on May 15. Hernandez gave up all three runs in just 3 2/3 innings as it was his first start back from the DL. For his career, Hernandez is 2-2 with a 3.15 ERA in five starts against L.A.
Weaver surrendered three runs on seven hits and three walks in five innings at Yankee Stadium on Friday, as the Angels rolled to a 10-6 win, improving to 4-0 in Weaver’s last four trips to the hill. Weaver has given up three earned runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts, while pitching into the sixth inning in six of those contests.
Weaver faced the Mariners three times as a rookie in 2006, going 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA. In the lone start in Anaheim, he outdueled Hernandez, scattering three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings,

MLB Total
960 NYM / 959 SFG Over 8.5
Analysis: SF: LHP Barry Zito (4-5, 4.70 ERA) vs. NYM: LHP Tom Glavine (5-2, 3.39 ERA)

Mets fans will receive their belated first glimpse at Barry Bonds on Wednesday, after the man nine homers away from history was limited to a pinch-hit appearance in Tuesday night's series opener. Weather forest calls for warm weather and little breeze there is will be blowing out...hmmmm! The Mets are MLB's best-hitting team against left-handed pitching: .333 Batting Average, .493 Slugging Percentage (rank #1 out of all 30 teams) and they are a very impressive 11-3 against lefties averaging 6.3 runs per game in all spots. That gaudy number actually goes up when at home against the southpaws to a whopping 7.1 runs per game! Granted, last night's lefty starters (Lincecum and Perez) struck out 8 batters apiece, but dont expect a similar result tonight as both of tonights finesse left-handers are more hittable. Zito has struckout a total of only 9 in his last four starts, while Glavine struck out only 6 in his last three starts. Glavine is also coming off a 110-pitch game at Atlanta so his tired arm will have to content with a San Francisco line-up that has also dominated left-handed pitching averaging 4.9 runs per game against left-handers in all spots. Glavine has also faired poorly against the Giants twice last year, finishing 0-1 with a high 5.40 ERA. Moreover, Barry Bonds is expected to play Wednesday, and that's bad news for Glavine. In 100 career plate appearances against him, Bonds owns a .329 average along with 16 walks, and four of his 746 career home runs. With both team strongpoint against the leftythe posted total is the only way to go.

971 NYY (-135) vs 972 TOR

Analysis: NYY: RHP Tyler Clippard (1-1, 3.60 ERA) vs. TOR: RHP Jesse Litsch (1-1, 4.24 ERA)

It will be a battle of 22-year-old starting pitchers when the Yankees close out a three-game series against the Blue Jays on Wednesday night at Rogers Centre. New York will send right-hander Tyler Clippard to the mound for just the third time in his Major League career. Clippard started off his Major League career on the right foot when he allowed just one run and three hits against the Mets on May 20. His last appearance didn't go quite as smoothly, though. Clippard surrendered just three earned runs on six hits while striking out one over four innings against the Angels. Clippard should find success against this Blue Jays squad that has lost a boat load of money against right-handed pitching in all spots, 14-22 -$995, and have faired even worse in home/night contests averaging just 2.8 runs per game. In start contrast, the Yankees have won their backers money in night/away contests against right-handers averaging a whopping 5.9 runs per game and that is not good news for Torontos young right-hander Jesse Litsch, who will be making his fourth Major League appearance. Litsch has had trouble keeping the ball down over his last two starts. During that span, he has gone 0-1 with a 7.56 ERA and only one strikeout. New York is desperate for a win having lost five games in a row and eight of their last 12. The Yankees are 14 1/2 games behind the American League East-leading Red Sox, which is the largest deficit before the beginning of June, since 1984, when they were 17 1/2 games back of the Tigers. The prices have been dropping considerably on the Yankees, so we will step in as they look to gain some momentum going into Boston this weekend.

Verdict: New York, 7 Toronto 3
PLAY 1* UNIT ON NEW YORK -$135

F.Y.I.:

Dave Cokin has been on FIRE. He has won 13 of his last 14 tracked plays. He was a bottom dweller on the Service FADE sheet as little as a week ago....but has been tearing it up since that time and has worked his way onto the Service PLAY sheet.

JOHN RYAN 10 star


Larry Ness' 15* NL Game of the Week (now 44-10 with 15* GOW plays since Opening Day!)

My 15* play is on the NY Mets at 7:10 ET. The Mets were the NL's best team during LY's regular season and they are well on their way to repeating that in 2007. They enter this game with the senior circuit's best record (33-17) and at plus-$1,040, are also the NL's best 'moneymakers.' Speaking of moneymakers, the Mets went 24-8 during LY's regular season with Tom Glavine on the mound and at plus-$1,449, only Johan Santana of the Twins (plus-$1,669) was a bigger moneymaker for his team. In 11 starts this year, Glavine's posted a 3.39 ERA and the Mets have gone 8-3 (plus-$526). Barry Zito goes for the Giants, who have lost four straight. Zito has been a major underachiever this year, going 4-5 with a 4.70 ERA in 10 starts (team is 5-5). After winning his first road start in 2007, he's lost his last three road outings, posting an 8.47 ERA in the process. With both teams facing lefties, let's look at those numbers. The Giants were a dreadful 5-15 on the road LY vs left-handers and while they are better this at 4-4 on the road, they began the year 3-0 but have lost FOUR of their last five (including last night). Meanwhile, the Mets are 11-3 (plus-$670) vs lefties this year, averaging 6.64 RPG. A quick check of the bullpen for each team reveals the Mets with a 3.15 ERA (3rd-best in MLB), a 10-2 record and 12 saves in 15 opportunities. As for the Giants, their bullpen owns a 4.14 ERA, a 4-9 record and just 10 saves in 16 opportunities. What's NOT to like about the Mets in this spot? NL Game of the Week 15* NY Mets.

Good Luck...Larry

Utah (+8) over SAN ANTONIO
06:00 PM Pacific - Rotation 509
San Antonio came through with a good effort, as expected, in their 91-79 game 4 victory in Utah, but the Jazz are in a good situation tonight for game 5. Utah applies to a 48-17-1 ATS playoff situation and a 28-5-1 ATS playoff situation and my ratings favor the Spurs by just 7 1/2 points after factoring in that the Jazz are the team coming off a loss. Utah is a pretty good play here, but the one thing keeping me from making the Jazz a Best Bet is their 0-14 ATS mark in San Antonio when they are not getting at least 10 points, including 0-2 ATS in this series (although they weren't in a good situation in either of those games). The general situations favoring Utah are more significant than the negative series trend and I'll consider Utah a Strong Opinion at +8 points or more and a lean at +7 1/2 points
