Complimentary Selection TUESDAY'S PLAY

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>

I am now on a 6-1 run with my last seven Bonus Plays after the Brewers take care of business for us last night!

Take the Twins as the small home chalk tonight over the Rangers.

Kevin Millwood will start for Texas and he's been getting bombed recently.

The right-hander is 0-1 with a 10.64 ERA over his last three starts and is just 9-12 on the year with a 5.51 ERA. His troubles usually start in the first inning, where he's given up 26 runs in 28 starts.

This leads to more pitches being thrown early, which translates into early exits. Since the Rangers aren't a very good team and they don't possess a strong bullpen, I like the Twins in this spot at home.

Carlos Silva will start for Minnesota and he's had an up and down season, but he did throw a gem against the Rangers on August 17, allowing just one run in seven innings in a 2-1 Minnesota win.

Silva didn't receive a decision that night, but I like him in this matchup against Millwood.

Take the Twins for the home win.

2? MINNESOTA

Big Al's Tuesday Paid Service Play


At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Tigers with Justin Verlander over Cleveland. Last night, we used Cleveland as our AL Central Game of the Month, and the Indians rewarded us with a 6-5 win. That moved the Tribe's lead over the Tigers to 5.5 games. With under two weeks remaining, this game is a 'must-win' for Jim Leyland's crew. And, with Verlander on the hill, they will get it. He's 17-5 on the year, with a 3.47 ERA. And over his last four starts, he's been nothing short of brilliant, allowing just three runs and 23 hits in 28 2/3 innings (while striking out 26). Jake Westbrook will get the ball for Cleveland and he's 5-9 this year, and hasn't won in his last three starts, compiling a 4.34 ERA and, even worse, a 1.71 WHIP. In his career, Westbrook is a dismal 4-8 with a 6.53 ERA vs. the Tigers. Take Detroit. Good luck, as always, Al McMordie.

Game: Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians Sep 18 2007 7:05PM
Prediction: Detroit Tigers
Reason: Detroit has won their last 6 straight. In their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning record the Tigers are 6-1. Detroit is 5-1 in their last 6 road games. In their last 9 games as a favorite they are 7-2. In Verlander's last 12 road starts the Tigers are 9-3. In his last 43 starts as a favorite the Tigers are 31-12. The Indians have been playing very well as well but with Westbrook on the mound, you have to go with Detroit. The Indians are 2-5 in his last 7 starts and 205 in his last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Play on the Tigers

15* Team Mismatch of the Week (33-12 since Aug 7 / 116-42 this season!)

Larry "got lucky" with his 15* win last night on the Cubs (three-run 9th!). However, luck has had little to do with his 33-12 run with his 15* Game of the Week plays since Aug 7 or his simply stunning 116-42 mark with his 15-stars since Opening Day....

Scott Spreitzer's MLB Power TKO Value of the Week! -- Tuesday

I'm laying the short price with the Blue Jays in the matchup between Lester & Burnett. Toronto has creamed lefties at home this season going 17-5 in 22 chances. In 40 home/away starts against southpaws this summer, the Jays are plating 5.20 RPG! Boston lefty Jon Lester has been smacked around in his six road starts this season. Toss out a start against the anemic Orioles and you'll find that Lester allowed 18 earned runs and 36 base runners in just 20 1/3 IP, in his previous four away outings. That's a 7.98 ERA & 1.77 WHIP. By the way, Lester has allowed virtually one walk every two innings during the stretch. The Jays counter with A.J. Burnett who owns a 2.56 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and .181 BAA, in 10 home starts this season. Burnett has found success in his three career starts against the AL East leaders and I expect more of the same tonight. Toronto is my TKO GOW

THE SPORTS ADVISORS

NATIONAL LEAGUE

L.A. Dodgers (79-70) at Colorado (77-72)
A critical four-game, three-day series at Coors Field kicks off with a day-night doubleheader, as the Dodgers visit the Rockies. L.A.’s Chad Billingsley (11-4, 3.14 ERA) will oppose Jeff Francis (15-8, 4.35) in Game 1, with David Wells (8-8, 5.27) set to go in the nightcap against Colorado’s Mark Redman (1-4, 9.67).
Los Angeles had a four-game winning streak snapped in Sunday’s 6-1 home loss to Arizona. The Dodgers are 4½ games behind the first-place DBacks and they trail the Padres by 2½ games in the wild-card race, two games ahead of Colorado.
The Rockies come into this one having lost three of four. However, Colorado is still on a 30-13 roll at Coors Field (3-4 in the last seven).
The Dodgers are 20-8 in their last 28 games against Colorado, but just 6-5 this season.
Billingsley is 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA in his last five starts, including a 6-1 victory over the Padres on Wednesday. He’s 7-2 with a 2.61 ERA in 22 road games (nine starts). However, the righthander is 0-1 with a 7.36 ERA in five career appearances (three starts) against the Rockies. Two of those starts came this year, and Billingsley allowed a combined seven runs on 13 hits in 9 1/3 innings, with L.A. losing 9-6 on the road and 7-4 at home.
Francis is coming off one of his worst outings of the season, as he surrendered eight runs on eight hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings on Thursday at Philadelphia, losing 12-4. The Rockies are 20-11 when the southpaw pitches, but just 3-4 in the last seven.
Francis is 7-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 16 starts at Coors Field, with Colorado winning 11 of those contests. He’s also dominated the Dodgers in three starts this year, going 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA (two earned runs allowed in each outings). For his career, Francis is 3-1 with a 2.82 ERA in eight starts against Los Angeles.
Both Francis (6-0, 2.68 ERA) and Billingsley (6-1, 2.84 ERA) have been outstanding in day games.
Wells has been outstanding since signing with the Dodgers in late August, going 3-0 with a 3.91 ERA in four starts while allowing three runs or fewer in all four. On Thursday against San Diego, he gave up three runs on four hits (two home runs) in six innings, winning 6-3 at home.
Wells is 4-6 with a 6.85 ERA on the road this year. And although he shut down the Rockies back on April 7 when he was with the Padres (two runs in 6 2/3 innings), his only career start at Coors Field was a disaster (six runs, 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings).
Redman, who began the season with the Braves but was cut in mid-May, has made two relief appearances since signing with Colorado, including pitching five scoreless innings on Wednesday at Philadelphia and picking up the win, 12-0. Redman, who hasn’t started a game since May 1, is 0-1 with a 11.81 ERA in three games (two starts) at Coors Field.
The under is 5-1 in Francis’ last six starts against the Dodgers and 7-2 in Billingsley’s last nine starts overall.
The over is 8-1 in Redman’s last nine starts going back to last season and 4-2 in Wells’ last six outings.
The under is 18-8 in the Dodgers’ last 26 road games and 7-3 in the last 10 head-to-head battles between these rivals. However, the Rockies have topped the total in five straight games, and the over is 7-3 in the Rockies’ last 10 at Coors Field.
ATS ADVANTAGE: NONE



AMERICAN LEAGUE

Detroit (83-68) at Cleveland (88-62)
The Tigers continue their critical three-game series at Jacobs Field, with red-hot Detroit ace Justin Verlander (17-5, 3.47) scheduled to go against Cleveland’s Jake Westbrook (5-9, 4.38).
The Indians rallied from a 5-1 deficit on Monday and prevailed 6-5 in 11 innings to move 5½ games ahead of the Tigers in the A.L. Central. Cleveland is 23-8 in its last 31 games, including 10-2 at home. Detroit, which had a five-game winning streak snapped last night, is still 10-3 in its last 13 but it now trails the Yankees by 3½ games in the wild-card race.
The Indians lead the season series, 10-6.
Verlander has been incredible in his last four starts, going 4-0 with a 0.94 ERA, allowing a total of just three runs in 28 2/3 innings. However, his last loss came against the Indians on Aug. 22, as he gave up seven runs on 10 hits in four innings, falling 11-8. Verlander also gave up seven runs in five innings in his only start at Jacobs Field this year, losing 11-5.
For the season, Verlander is 1-2 with a 7.36 ERA in four starts against Cleveland, and the Tigers are just 1-4 in his last five outings against the Tribe. On the bright side, the righthander has been outstanding on the road this year, going 8-2 with a 3.11 ERA in 13 starts, including that 11-5 loss at Cleveland.
Westbrook is 0-2 with a 4.34 ERA in his last three starts, all Cleveland losses. Also, despite a solid 3.97 ERA, the veteran righthander is just 3-5 when pitching at home.
Westbrook has faced the Tigers twice this season, both in Motown, with completely different results. He gave up five runs on 10 hits in six innings in a 6-4 loss on July 4, then scattered five hits over eight scoreless innings in a 3-1 extra-innings victory on Aug. 23. For his career, Westbrook is 4-8 with a 6.09 ERA in 19 games (16 starts) against Detroit.
The over is 5-0 in Verlander’s last five starts against Cleveland and 17-10-2 in Verlander’s 29 starts this year. However, the under is 15-6-1 when Westbrook starts, including 10-2 at home.
The under is 13-6-1 in Detroit’s last 20 games overall, including 7-3 on the road. The under is also 6-4 in Cleveland’s last 10 games and 4-2 in the last six series meetings.
ATS ADVANTAGE: DETROIT and UNDER
