HOME TEAM IN CAPS
All games are listed pitchers unless stated otherwise.

TAMPA BAY +1.04 over San Diego (12:05 PM)
What most will see is Justin German with his 4-0 record and 2.75 ERA going up against Jay Howell, a rather unknown that has made just two starts and has a 4.85 ERA. What most will see also is a rather cheap lay on the Padres or should we say enticing. What those stats don’t tell you is that Jay Howell has had one bad inning in two starts covering 13 frames. In those 13 frames he’s struck out 16 and walked just three and is now ready for prime time after spending the last 2½ years going up and down from the minors to the big leagues. Howell is not a stranger to pitching at this level, as he’s pitched 128 innings over his career but his time in the minors appears to have been well spent. Howell is an extremely talented lefty and a guy to keep your eye on for sure. Justin Germano started off on fire but is cooling down big time. Remember, the Padres gave up on him in ’04, he missed ‘05 and the Reds did the same in ’06. Germano, in two June starts has allowed 14 hits and eight runs in 11 frames to go along with his 6.55 ERA. Over that stretch the Mariners and Nationals hit .311 off him. Lastly, this is a 12:05 PM EST start and we’re not sure that a game starting at 9:05 AM San Diego time is something the Padres are used to. It may not be much but it’s another slight edge but the real edge here is on the mound and with the Rays offense. Play: Tampa Bay +1.04 (Risking 2.02 units to win 2).

Oakland +1.04 over HOUSTON (2:05 PM)
Betting on the Astros is something we rarely do because there’s not a more frustrating team to bet on. Houston rarely cashes in their opportunities and as soon as they get two men on base one of two things will happen. The batter will either strikeout or he’ll hit into a double play. If we had to list the teams to lay off as a favorite the Astros would be at the top of that list. The fact that they’re favored here is incorrect as Chad Gaudin just might be this year’s best-kept secret. Gaudin has allowed two or fewer earned runs in each of his last five starts and all but two of his 13 outings this season. The A’s have won 10 of his 13 starts and the Astros have never seen him. Sweet. Besides, isn’t this about the time the A’s go on their annual torrid run? Oakland has won nine of its last 11 games while the Astros have lost 19 of their last 26. The A’s plus anything here is a gift. Play: Oakland +1.04 (Risking 2 units).<o:p></o:p>

CINCINNATI +1.25 over L.A. Angels (12:35 PM)
This choice is all about playing against Bartolo Colon, a guy who hasn’t fooled anyone all season long. His 5-2 record is one of the more misleading marks in the business. Remember. Colon made just 10 starts last year, he’s coming off surgery and is out of shape and overweight. The man is just plain laboring out there. He’s allowed 28 hits and 19 runs over his last 18 innings. Over that stretch the opposition has hit .357 off him. His ERA in June is 9.00 and his ERA on the road this year is 7.18. Bartolo Colon has been and will very likely continue to be one of the more hittable pitchers in the league. He just doesn’t have it anymore and his conditioning, or lack thereof is a huge liability. Furthermore, this park is nasty as any to pitchers and we highly doubt Colon will have anything close to resembling a quality start. The Reds will counter with Homer Bailey, who will make his second career start. He was a little shaky but still effective in his debut against a tough Indians line-up. Bailey is a highly touted call-up that has great stuff and we trust he’ll even be better his second time put. We find some good value here playing against Colon and we’ll continue to go against him as a favorite. Play: Cincinnati +1.25 (Risking 2 units).
