Game: Seattle at Chicago Cubs (2:20 PM Eastern)
Pick: Chicago Cubs -141
The Seattle Mariners have probably been the biggest surprise so far this year. They have played well and have been hot lately. However, today they have Jeff Weaver on the mound and they will have to score a lot of runs off of pitcher in Jason Marquis who is having a good season. Weaver has pitched to an ERA of 12.46, and what is even worse is that the middle relief has allowed an additional 23 runs in his 7 starts. The Mariners have been outscored in his starts 59-19. Marquis has allowed one run or less in 8 of his 13 starts and the Cubs have won 7 of 11 by getting great pitching. The Cubs staff has allowed two runs or less in 7 of their last 11. The Cubs beat the Mariners yesterday and have a huge pitching mismatch today so we will ride them at home.

MLB for 06/14/2007 - Braves at Twins
Prediction: Twins
We will play against Atlanta right-hander Tim Hudson, who is 0-8 (minus 10.3 games on the moneyline) in Interleague play. And it doesn't hurt that Minnesota lefty Johan Santana is a sweet 74-24 at night (+35 games on the moneyline) and 96-36 as a favorite (+32 games). Look for Santana to out-duel Hudson Thursday night. Take the Twins.
Marc Lawrence
MLB for 06/14/2007 - Rangers at Pirates
Prediction: Pirates
Pirates send lefthander Tom Gorzelanny to the hill tonight at home versus the visiting Rangers. Gorzelanny is in solid form (6-3, 2.76 ERA). Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers are 1-7 on Thursdays this season, their worst day of the week. Stay at home with Gorzelanny and the Pirates this evening.

The Indians took advantage of some sloppy defense by the Marlins to finally explode out of their offensive doldrums en route to a needed Wednesday win. I like their chances of notching another victory here. Dontrelle Willis is a misleading 7-5, as he's really hasn't been very good and is walking way too many hitters. Jason Stanford is back up with the Indians replacing Jeremy Sowers at the back of the rotation, and he's been pretty sharp ay AAA this season.

The Pirates don't match up well against powerful teams, but they take on a cream puff here in Texas, last in pitching, second to last in fielding and a poor road team (9-23). Starter Kameron Loe is awful and is only pitching here because Brandon McCarthy is hurt. Loe, who was only last week demoted to Triple A Oklahoma, will return to the rotation and take McCarthy's start here. Play the Pirates!

Take David Toms (50-1), 1/6 unit: Quietly having a good year with five top-10s and eight top-25s. He’s coming off a third place finish last week in Memphis, which was a tough test in itself. He ranks 37th in driving accuracy, pretty good, and he’s been rolling the ball well with that sweet putting stroke. He withdrew from the U.S. Open last year but since 2000 he’s gone T16, T66, T45, T5, T20 (in 2004,at nasty Shinnecock) and T15. Take Jim Furyk (16-1), 1/6 unit: Four top-10s and eight top-25s this year, he’s plodding along. Plodding along being a good approach this week. Always among the top players in driving accuracy, finding greens and a grinding putter, it’s no surprise his only major win was the U.S. Open in 2003. Since then, he’s gone T48, T28 and T2 last year because of a costly 18th at Winged Foot. Furyk has his own cross to bear and may be flying a little under the radar this week. Take Retief Goosen (25-1), 1/6 unit: Not the first time I’ve picked the Goose to win this tournament (I was right in 2004 when he outlasted Shinnecock with brilliant play around and on those treacherous greens). I think there’s a distinction between mentally tough and unfazed. He’s probably as much the latter as the former. Goosen finished T2 at the Masters this year. Driving accuracy is a problem and he hasn’t been putting all that well. Since 2001 he’s won the U.S. Open twice and missed the cut twice, one of those MCs last year

Chad Durbinhas fit in well with this Tigers’ starting staff in 2007. His 5-2 record has helped keep the Tigers near the top of the AL Central Division. The Tigers are 19-7 in their last 26 games as a favorite. They face Ben Sheets, who will be a tough opponent, but the Tigers have enough explosiveness with their bats to overcome this tough righty. Milwaukee is just 2-10 in their last 12 Interleague games. The Brewers are 1-8 in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record.

Boston will come into this game playing with a chip on their shoulder. The Rockies put a 12-2 thumping on the Red Sox last night and you can bet the Boston faithful will be looking for revenge. It will be an added bonus to have Josh Beckett on the mound as well. Beckett is 9-0 with a 2.88 ERA this season. He won't be getting his first loss today either.

3 Unit Sharp Play on San Antonio -3
The Spurs will be hungry to sweep the Cavaliers since all the talk is about how San Antonio never sweeps, they just win series. They really want to make a statement tonight and finish off the sweep to add to the dynasty they are currently building. The Spurs won even with an off night from the Big 3 in Duncan, Ginobli and Parker. All three of these guys will play better in Game 4 and we fully expect the Spurs to win by double digits. The Spurs are 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 games overall. The Spurs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. They are one of the best teams at making adjustments with little time to practice. Cleveland is a young team and needs more than a day to make the necessary adjustments to compete with San Antonio. Cash in with the Spurs in a Sweep of the Cavs tonight.

Larry Ness' Terrific Thursday Total-MLB (11-1 92% with MLB totals TY!)
My Terrific Thursday Total is on StL/KC Over at 8:10 ET. I'm not sure the total on this game can be placed high enough for anyone to want to go 'under.' Kip Wells goes for the Cards and the nine-year vet is having just a BRUTAL season. He's 2-11 with a 6.33 ERA in 13 starts. Over his last 10 starts, the opposing team has averaged 7.5 runs by game's end! At minus-$1,031 ($100/game) on the season, he ranks 221st of 223 pitchers this season. Wells is 0-2 with a 7.16 ERA in three starts since getting his second win of 2007 and will now face a Royals team he has struggled against. He is 3-2 with an 8.75 ERA in five starts and one relief appearance against Kansas City. Opposing him is another nine-year vet, Scott Elarton, playing for his fourth team. Some may remember that Elarton went 17-7 for the Astros back in 2000 but those days are long gone. In fact, the following season (2001), he went 4-10 with a 7.06 ERA pitching for both Houston and Colorado. In 2004 (for Colorado and Cleveland), he was 3-11 with a 5.90 ERA. Pitching for the sad-sack Royals in 2007, Elarton has a 7.34 ERA in six starts, allowing 37 hits (10 HRs!) in 30.2 innings. Terrific Thursday Total on StL/KC Over.
Larry Ness' Las Vegas Insider-Game 4 Total (2-0 w/LV Insiders in The Finals!)
My Las Vegas Insider is on SA/Cle Over at 9:05 ET. What can the Spurs and Cavs do for an encore after 'treating' us to one the worst games ever seen in an NBA Finals? The two teams combined for 26 turnovers and the 147 total points scored (SA won 75-72) ties for the second-fewest points in an NBA Finals game-ever. Getting back to my original question, expect to see an 'over.' The Spurs entered the Finals making a playoff-high 39% from behind the three-point line, averaging nearly 20 three-point attempts per game. After making 12-of-19 in Game 3, the Spurs have made 24-of-59 in this series. That's 40.7% and just under 20 attempts per game. As for the Cavs, they were DREADFUL in Game 3, making just 3-of-19 three-pointers but during the regular season Cleveland made 35.2% and in the first two games of the Finals, connected on 35.3%. Don't forget that after a brutal Game 1 (SA 85-76) the Game 2 final was 195 points (SA 103-92). Now some historical perspective regarding series in which one team takes a 3-0 lead.. Four previous series this postseason reached 3-0 and the finals of those four Game 4s averaged 184.3 PPG. Three of the four 'safely' exceeded the opening total for Game 4 of The Finals. Checking back the rest of this decade (since 2000), 14 more series saw a team take a 3-0 lead and those 14 Game 4s averaged 202.6 PPG. Doing the math, the 18 Game 4s (when one team led 3-0), averaged 198.6 PPG (about 20 points over this total), with just THREE of the final scores finishing 'under' the opening total of Thursday's Game 4.

Larry Ness' 15* IL Getaway Day GOW (now 57-13 with 15* GOW plays this season!)
My 15* play is on the Oak A's at 2:05 ET. The Astros allowed a five-run eighth by the A's in a 7-3 loss last night and are now just 7-19 since May 17, having dropped three of their last four games. To make matters worse, they had a "Cub-like" scuffle in the dugout when reliever Dan Wheeler shoved starter Chris Sampson. Forgetting all that, Houston ranks 29th of 30 teams in the "moneyline" standings at minus-$1,483 and in this afternoon game, faces one of the AL's best pitchers this season. Oakland's Chad 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. He's 6-1 with a 2.43 ERA in 13 starts with the A's going 10-3 in his starts. At plus-$774 in those starts, he ranks SIXTH among 224 pitchers in 2007! the Astros are just 30-40 against right-handers this year (minus-$1,155) and have scored more than a half-run per game less against them at home as opposed to on the road. Houston will counter with Jason Jennings, who is still looking for his first win since joining the Astros in an off-season trade with Colorado. From 2001 through 2006, Jennings went 58-56 with a 4.74 ERA for the Rockies with the team going 76-80 in his starts (can you spell journeyman?). He's made five starts for the Astros this year with a 2.70 ERA but Houston has lost FOUR of the games. He'll be facing an A's team that's struggled scoring runs at home vs right-handed pitchers (2.48 RPG in 21 games) but has done just fine when facing them on the road (4.81 RPG in 21 games). Gotta love the way Oakland keeps coming up with 'live' young arms! IL Getaway Day GOW 15* Oak A's.

Prediction: over
Reason: These pitchers have both really struggled this season. Wells is 1-6 with a 6.53 ERA and 1.524 WHIP. He's been particularly bad in his last three starts as he an awful 7.16 ERA and 2.082 WHIP during that stretch with the last two of those games finishing well above the number. Meanwhile, Elarton has a 9.20 ERA and 1.909 WHIP in three home starts this season. The "over" was 2-0-1 in those three games. Dating back to last season, Elarton has seen the "over" go 8-2-1 his last 11 home starts. Consider a play on the OVER

Milwaukee is just 2-10 in their last 12 Interleague games. The Brewers are 1-8 in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record. The Brewers are 1-4 in Sheets' last 5 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Tigers are 21-5 in their last 26 interleague home games. Bet Detroit to win this one at home.

5 Unit Black Magic Interleague Run Line of the Year on Red Sox -1.5 +106
(Listing Beckett)
Boston will come into this game playing with a chip on their shoulder. The Rockies put a 12-2 thumping on the Red Sox last night and you can bet the Boston faithful will be looking for revenge. It will be an added bonus to have Josh Beckett on the mound as well. Beckett is 9-0 with a 2.88 ERA this season. He won't be getting his first loss today either. The Rockies are 1-5 in Francis' last 6 starts as a road underdog of +151 to +200. The Red Sox are 12-2 in their last 14 interleague games as a favorite of -201 or greater. The Red Sox are 78-14 in their last 92 games as a home favorite of -201 or greater. The Red Sox are 10-1 in Beckett's last 11 starts. Boston wins this one by at least 4 runs. Cash in with the Red Sox on the -1.5 Run Line.
3 Unit Sharp Play on San Diego -102
Listing Germano)
Germano has been an unsung hero on this Padres' starting staff. He is 4-0 with a 2.75 ERA on the season. He gives up less than 1.00 walks/hits per inning which is a great formula for success. We are getting a steal here on the Padres. San Diego beat the Devil Rays 9-0 behind Peavy last night. Germano will do similar damage to Tampa Bay this afternoon. The Devil Rays are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. The Devil Rays are 3-11 in their last 14 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record. Cash in with San Diego and Germano today.
3 Unit Sharp Play on San Antonio -3
The Spurs will be hungry to sweep the Cavaliers since all the talk is about how San Antonio never sweeps, they just win series. They really want to make a statement tonight and finish off the sweep to add to the dynasty they are currently building. The Spurs won even with an off night from the Big 3 in Duncan, Ginobli and Parker. All three of these guys will play better in Game 4 and we fully expect the Spurs to win by double digits. The Spurs are 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 games overall. The Spurs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. They are one of the best teams at making adjustments with little time to practice. Cleveland is a young team and needs more than a day to make the necessary adjustments to compete with San Antonio. Cash in with the Spurs in a Sweep of the Cavs tonight.

Larry Ness' Terrific Thursday Total-MLB (11-1 92% with MLB totals TY!)
My Terrific Thursday Total is on StL/KC Over at 8:10 ET. I'm not sure the total on this game can be placed high enough for anyone to want to go 'under.' Kip Wells goes for the Cards and the nine-year vet is having just a BRUTAL season. He's 2-11 with a 6.33 ERA in 13 starts. Over his last 10 starts, the opposing team has averaged 7.5 runs by game's end! At minus-$1,031 ($100/game) on the season, he ranks 221st of 223 pitchers this season. Wells is 0-2 with a 7.16 ERA in three starts since getting his second win of 2007 and will now face a Royals team he has struggled against. He is 3-2 with an 8.75 ERA in five starts and one relief appearance against Kansas City. Opposing him is another nine-year vet, Scott Elarton, playing for his fourth team. Some may remember that Elarton went 17-7 for the Astros back in 2000 but those days are long gone. In fact, the following season (2001), he went 4-10 with a 7.06 ERA pitching for both Houston and Colorado. In 2004 (for Colorado and Cleveland), he was 3-11 with a 5.90 ERA. Pitching for the sad-sack Royals in 2007, Elarton has a 7.34 ERA in six starts, allowing 37 hits (10 HRs!) in 30.2 innings. Terrific Thursday Total on StL/KC Over.
Larry Ness' Las Vegas Insider-Game 4 Total (2-0 w/LV Insiders in The Finals!)
My Las Vegas Insider is on SA/Cle Over at 9:05 ET. What can the Spurs and Cavs do for an encore after 'treating' us to one the worst games ever seen in an NBA Finals? The two teams combined for 26 turnovers and the 147 total points scored (SA won 75-72) ties for the second-fewest points in an NBA Finals game-ever. Getting back to my original question, expect to see an 'over.' The Spurs entered the Finals making a playoff-high 39% from behind the three-point line, averaging nearly 20 three-point attempts per game. After making 12-of-19 in Game 3, the Spurs have made 24-of-59 in this series. That's 40.7% and just under 20 attempts per game. As for the Cavs, they were DREADFUL in Game 3, making just 3-of-19 three-pointers but during the regular season Cleveland made 35.2% and in the first two games of the Finals, connected on 35.3%. Don't forget that after a brutal Game 1 (SA 85-76) the Game 2 final was 195 points (SA 103-92). Now some historical perspective regarding series in which one team takes a 3-0 lead.. Four previous series this postseason reached 3-0 and the finals of those four Game 4s averaged 184.3 PPG. Three of the four 'safely' exceeded the opening total for Game 4 of The Finals. Checking back the rest of this decade (since 2000), 14 more series saw a team take a 3-0 lead and those 14 Game 4s averaged 202.6 PPG. Doing the math, the 18 Game 4s (when one team led 3-0), averaged 198.6 PPG (about 20 points over this total), with just THREE of the final scores finishing 'under' the opening total of Thursday's Game 4.

Larry Ness' 15* IL Getaway Day GOW (now 57-13 with 15* GOW plays this season!)
My 15* play is on the Oak A's at 2:05 ET. The Astros allowed a five-run eighth by the A's in a 7-3 loss last night and are now just 7-19 since May 17, having dropped three of their last four games. To make matters worse, they had a "Cub-like" scuffle in the dugout when reliever Dan Wheeler shoved starter Chris Sampson. Forgetting all that, Houston ranks 29th of 30 teams in the "moneyline" standings at minus-$1,483 and in this afternoon game, faces one of the AL's best pitchers this season. Oakland's Chad 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. He's 6-1 with a 2.43 ERA in 13 starts with the A's going 10-3 in his starts. At plus-$774 in those starts, he ranks SIXTH among 224 pitchers in 2007! the Astros are just 30-40 against right-handers this year (minus-$1,155) and have scored more than a half-run per game less against them at home as opposed to on the road. Houston will counter with Jason Jennings, who is still looking for his first win since joining the Astros in an off-season trade with Colorado. From 2001 through 2006, Jennings went 58-56 with a 4.74 ERA for the Rockies with the team going 76-80 in his starts (can you spell journeyman?). He's made five starts for the Astros this year with a 2.70 ERA but Houston has lost FOUR of the games. He'll be facing an A's team that's struggled scoring runs at home vs right-handed pitchers (2.48 RPG in 21 games) but has done just fine when facing them on the road (4.81 RPG in 21 games). Gotta love the way Oakland keeps coming up with 'live' young arms! IL Getaway Day GOW 15* Oak A's.

Game: St Louis Cardinals at Kansas City Royals
Jun 14 2007 8:10PM
Prediction: over
Reason: These pitchers have both really struggled this season. Wells is 1-6 with a 6.53 ERA and 1.524 WHIP. He's been particularly bad in his last three starts as he an awful 7.16 ERA and 2.082 WHIP during that stretch with the last two of those games finishing well above the number. Meanwhile, Elarton has a 9.20 ERA and 1.909 WHIP in three home starts this season. The "over" was 2-0-1 in those three games. Dating back to last season, Elarton has seen the "over" go 8-2-1 his last 11 home starts. Consider a play on the OVER

Game: Seattle at Chicago Cubs (2:20 PM Eastern)
Pick: Chicago Cubs -141
The Seattle Mariners have probably been the biggest surprise so far this year. They have played well and have been hot lately. However, today they have Jeff Weaver on the mound and they will have to score a lot of runs off of pitcher in Jason Marquis who is having a good season. Weaver has pitched to an ERA of 12.46, and what is even worse is that the middle relief has allowed an additional 23 runs in his 7 starts. The Mariners have been outscored in his starts 59-19. Marquis has allowed one run or less in 8 of his 13 starts and the Cubs have won 7 of 11 by getting great pitching. The Cubs staff has allowed two runs or less in 7 of their last 11. The Cubs beat the Mariners yesterday and have a huge pitching mismatch today so we will ride them at home
