Jim Feist Free Pay For Friday

My free pick of the day is the game between (973) SEA Mariners and (974) TOR Blue Jays. Take "(974) TOR Blue Jays". Miguel Batista has been a far cry from the pitcher of last season that was 15-11 with a 4.31 era. So far this season, he's 3-9 with a 7.23 era and has walked more batters (50) then he's struck out (46). Furthermore, Batista is just 1-5 on the road! John Parrish has started three games this year for the Blue Jays and they have won all three. Parish is 1-0 at home with a 2.77 era in two starts. Parish is a young pitcher, but he's showing he has what it takes to win at this level while Batista seems to have lost that winning feeling

AMERICAN LEAGUE

New York (56-45) at Boston (60-43)

Right-hander Josh Beckett (9-6, 3.98 ERA) takes the hill for the Red Sox to open a three-game weekend set against the archrival Yankees at Fenway Park. Boston, returning from a six-game West Coast swing, bounced back after a three-game sweep against the Angels last weekend to win three in a row at Seattle. The Sox are 36-11 at home this season and have won eight of their last 10 behind Beckett at Fenway.

New York, which will counter with right-hander Joba Chamberlain (2-3, 2.52), is on a six-game winning streak, having swept Oakland and Minnesota at home after coming back from the All-Star break. The Yanks are also 20-8 in their last 28 games against winning teams.

Boston leads the season series between these two 5-4, and the Red Sox are 4-0 in Beckett’s last four starts against New York.

The Red Sox are a middling 5-5 in Beckett’s last 10 starts, with the 28-year-old taking the loss in a 4-2 road setback against the Angels on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits in eight innings.

The Yankees are 6-2 in Chamberlain’s last eight starts. On Saturday, the 22-year-old yielded just one run on six hits in six innings as New York beat Oakland 4-3. Chamberlain has given up two earned runs or less in seven of his nine starts this season.

Despite his 4.82 ERA at Fenway this season, Beckett has a 5-1 record in seven home starts, and he’s 7-3 in with a 5.75 ERA in 11 career starts against the Yanks, winning all three starts this season against New York. Chamberlain is 1-2 with a 1.74 ERA in 14 appearances (three starts) on the road this season, and he’s 1-0 with a 3.48 ERA in four career appearances (one start) against Boston.

The under has cashed in four of the last five for Boston and is 6-1 in New York’s last seven roadies and 20-7-2 in the Yanks’ last 29 games overall. On the flip side, the total has gone high in four of Beckett’s last five home starts against New York, and in this rivalry, the over is 22-7 in the last 29 clashes at Fenway.

ATS ADVANTAGE: BOSTON


Chicago White Sox (57-43) at Detroit (52-49)

The A.L. Central-leading White Sox trot out right-hander Gavin Floyd (10-6, 3.52 ERA) to open a three-game set against the Tigers at Comerica Park. Chicago followed up a three-game losing skid by winning two straight at home against Texas on Tuesday and Wednesday, racking up 10 runs in each game en route to 10-2 and 10-8 victories. The Sox have dropped 13 of their last 18 road games, but they are on runs of 6-0 following a day off and 19-7 in division play.

Detroit, which will give the ball to left-hander Nate Robertson (6-8, 5.69), is on a four-game winning streak, taking Thursday off after sweeping a three-game series at Kansas City. The Tigers have won six of their last seven series openers and are 20-8 in their last 28 games at Comerica.

Chicago has a 5-4 edge in the season series between these teams, and they are 5-1 facing Robertson in Detroit. But the Tigers have won the last three games, sweeping a home series June 10-12.

Floyd was on a 6-1 run before cooling off with losses in his last two starts. On Saturday against Kansas City, he allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits in six innings of a 9-1 home loss, on the heels of a 7-2 setback at Texas in which he allowed six runs on five hits in just 2 2/3 innings.

Robertson is 0-2 with three no-decisions in his last five starts, getting rocked for seven runs on eight hits in only 2 1/3 innings Saturday in an 11-10 loss at Baltimore.

Floyd is 3-4 with a 5.40 ERA in eight road starts this year, and he’s 3-0 with a solid 2.43 ERA in six career starts against Detroit. He beat the Tigers in back-to-back starts in April, including throwing 7 1/3 innings of one-hit shutout ball in a 7-0 home rout April 12. Robertson, meanwhile, is 3-3 with a 4.45 ERA in nine home starts this year, and he’s 6-6 with a 5.02 ERA in 18 career starts against Chicago.

In this division rivalry, the under is on a 35-17 run overall and is 40-17-3 in the last 60 battles in Detroit. However, the over is 7-1 in Chicago’s last eight games, 17-5 for the Sox in their last 22 division games and 8-3 in Robertson’s last 11 starts for Detroit.

ATS ADVANTAGE: CHICAGO WHITE SOX

New York Mets -1.5 (125)
Fri Jul 25 '08 7:10p

The NY Mets (55-47) enter into this series against the struggling St.Louis Cardinals off a key 3-1 win against the Phillies yesterday, as they took 2 of 3 in that series. They now look to extend their lead in the NL East standings, with another victory in this spot. The Cards(57-47), are off getting swept in a 4 games series at home against the Milwaukee Brewers and could be in for another rough night, as they depend on a rookie pitcher (Mitchell Boggs 3-1, 6.59 ERA) , that is just now, returning from a minor league assignment . It is important to mention that Boggs was absolutely crushed by the Mets, in his last major league start on July 3rd, as is evident by allowing 11 runs including 10 ERs and 10 hits in just 6 innings, of less than stellar work.

Meanwhile, the Mets will return fire with the very capable Mike Pelfry (8-6, 3.81 ERA) who is 6-0 with a 2.70 ERA in his last 10 outings. The right hander in those 10 trips to the hill has allowed 2 or less ERs in 7 appearances. Pelfry received the decision the last time he faced the Mets, in the above mentioned beat down win, against todays pitching opponent Boggs.

The Mets have really been playing some strong baseball at home of late , winning 9 of their L/10 at Shea Stadium, while out scoring their opponents in those wins by an average of 3.8 RPG. I am expecting a repeat performance against the Cards.
Final notes & Key Trends: It is interesting to note that in the last 20 meetings in this head to head series, 18 tilts have been decided by multiple runs. The Mets have garnered 12 wins during that span by an average of 4+ RPG.
Play on the Mets Runline -1.5



Jim Feist.

My free pick of the day is the game between (973) SEA Mariners and (974) TOR Blue Jays. Take "(974) TOR Blue Jays". Miguel Batista has been a far cry from the pitcher of last season that was 15-11 with a 4.31 era. So far this season, he's 3-9 with a 7.23 era and has walked more batters (50) then he's struck out (46). Furthermore, Batista is just 1-5 on the road! John Parrish has started three games this year for the Blue Jays and they have won all three. Parish is 1-0 at home with a 2.77 era in two starts. Parish is a young pitcher, but he's showing he has what it takes to win at this level while Batista seems to have lost that winning feeling.




Dave Cokin.

My free pick of the day is the game between (969) CHW White Sox and (970) DET Tigers. Take "(969) CHW White Sox". Football is back! I'm getting ready for another monster pre-season (anyone who says you can't beat the pre-season is nuts, by the way) and your cost for my early football package is just $19. That even includes my Pre-Season Game of the Year. Make sure and call 1-888-389-7223 and I'll even throw in FREE baseball for the weekend!

Big series between the White Sox and Tigers gets underway tonight. Detroit is back in the hunt after that terrible start, but Chicago still maintains the lead in the AL Central. The Pale Hose need a better showing from Gavin Floyd tonight, as his control has been a big problem lately. But I like the Sox to have plenty of success against Nate Robertson. The Detroit lefty has been prone to the big inning all season, and the White Sox are pretty good about putting those crooked numbers on the board. My choice is the White Sox as road dogs.




Marc Lawrence

SPORT: Major League Baseball Picks
PICK: Los Angeles Angels
REASON FOR PICK: Play On: L.A. Angels w/Saunders vs Burres
Note: When the Angels take on the Orioles in the first of a three-game series in Baltimore Friday night it will be with Joe Saunders battling Brian Burres.

Saunders has cashed in 13 of his last 19 road starts. He's also 5-1 in his career team starts and 8-2 in his career team starts on Fridays.

On the flip side, Burres is just 2-4 during July and has dropped each of his last three home starts. With that, look for the Halos to improve to 13-4 in this series against the Birds here tonight.

We recommend a 1-unit play on the Angels with Saunders vs. Burres.

Marc's MLB Fan Appreciation Game of the Week goes Friday night. Not only is it supported by a terrific NEVER LOST winning angle inside the game, it's yours if you act now - don't miss out!




JIMMY THE MOOSE

Game: Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants Jul 25 2008 10:15PM
Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks

Reason: Arizona has struggled on the road this season while the Giants have struggled at home. The Diamondbacks are 5-2 in their last 7 games as a favorite. Arizona sends Haren to the mound tonight and they have won 7 of his last 9 starts. The D'Backs have won 4 of his last 5 road starts. In his last 14 starts as a favorite the D'Backs are 10-4. San Francisco is 4-9 in their last 13 games. In their last 26 games as a home dog they are 5-21. The Giants are 8-18 in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Giants are 1-4 in Sanchez's last 5 home starts. Pitching edge tonight goes to Arizona. Play on the Arizona Diamondbacks -.

Play on: Baltimore over LA Angeles

The fading Orioles get a chance to bounce back at home against the traveling Angels on Friday night in what should be an interesting set of games. The Birds hurler lefty Brian Burres has a nice life time mark of 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA against Los Angeles, whereas cagey lefty Joe Saunders throws a mark of 3-0, but a 5.62 ERA versus Baltimore. With the O’s a super 72% in game #1 of a series, I’ll back the Orioles to reverse form here.


Bobby Maxwell

Colorado at CINCINNATI -145

The Rockies kick off their 10-game road trip tonight in Cincinnati against one of the best young pitchers to come around in a while in Edinson Volquez (12-3, 2.49 ERA). The Reds' young sensation is tough to get to at home.

For the season, Volquez is 6-0 with a 2.82 ERA in 10 starts in front of the home fans and Sunday he gave up four runs in five innings against the Mets and Cincinnati lost in 10 innings, 7-5. Today he gets a much easier lineup to face in the Rockies who have lost nine of their last 11 on the road and are a major league worst 14-36 away from home.

Colorado has Aaron Cook (12-6, 3.58) on the mound tonight and he's coming off three runs in six innings against the Pirates on Sunday as the Rockies got an 11-3 win. In five appearances against the Reds, Cook has a 7.11 ERA and last time he saw the Reds he gave up five runs on 10 hits in 5.1 innings.

The Rockies are just 14-38 in their last 52 on the road while Cincinnati is 9-1 in their last 10 Friday games and 7-2 in their last nine as a favorite. The Reds are 4-2 in the last six between these two in Cincinnati and they'll get this one behind Volquez. Play the Reds.

4♦ CINCINNATI


James Patrick

Padres vs. Pirates

San Diego has captured 13 of 17 meetings in this series and has won 6 of 10 in the Steel City. The Bucs are just 3-15 in starter Duke’s Friday starts and we look for the Padres to continue their winning ways against the Pirates. Our selection in Major League Baseball is San Diego Padres.


Info Plays

3* on Houston Astros +150

Wandy Rodriquez takes a hungry Astros’ team into Milwaukee to take on a Brewers’ squad in a letdown spot. The Brewers are fresh off a 4-game sweep of the Cardinals where everything went their way. Milwaukee won’t be so fortunate tonight against the Astros’ best starter in Wandy Rodriquez. In 14 starts this season, Rodriquez is 5-3 with a 3.31 ERA. Rodriquez allowed just 1 earned run in his last start against Milwaukee in seven strong innings. Brewers’ starter Manny Parra has struggled against Houston, allowing 5 earned runs or more in two of his last 3 starts against them for a 6.46 ERA in his career. Houston is 52-32 in road games vs. good power teams - averaging 1.25 or more HR's/game in the second half of the season since 1997. Rodriquez has given up just 9 home runs in 82 innings this season so he won’t be the victim of the long ball tonight. Bet Houston on the road.


Black Magic Sports

1 Unit on Tampa Bay Rays -110

Tampa Bay will be looking to revenge last night’s loss to the Kansas City Royals. A poor performance at the dish was their downfall, but they won’t allow the Royals to steal two games in a row Friday. Edwin Jackson has revived his career in 2008. In eight road starts, Jackson has managed a 2-2 record and a 3.72 ERA. The biggest reason for his road domination has been the fact that Jackson has allowed a mere 2 home runs in over 48 innings of work. Brian Bannister has been awful as of late for the Royals, going 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA through his last three outings. The Royals are 3-13 vs. an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.00 to 4.70 this season. K.C. is 22-40 vs. AL teams allowing 4.7 or less runs/game on the season this season. The Rays have won 9 of their last 11 Friday games and appear more focused than ever heading into the weekend. Cash in with Tampa Bay as the favorite.


Jason Lowry

Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Play: Philadelphia Phillies

We are taking the Phillies at home against one of the worst road teams in all of the MLB in the Atlanta Braves. On top of that the Phillies have a 71% system at their back, as you should play against - Road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 (ATLANTA) - average hitting team (AVG = .255 to .269) against an average starting pitcher (ERA=4.20 to 5.20) -NL, with a starting pitcher whose gives up 0.5 or less HR's/start. (45-18 over the last 5 seasons.) Plus starter Kyle Kendrick is 14-3 against the money line in night games this season. Take the Phillies!


Steve Janus

LAA Angels vs. Baltimore Orioles
Play: LAA Angels

You have to love following the Angels on the road this year because they have the best road record in baseball, yet you still get the benefit of a lower line on them simply because they are on the road. LA has won 7 of their last 8 overall and they've gone 13-6 with starter Joe Saunders pitching on the road. A pretty amazing stat is that, when Saunders starts a game for the Angels, their record is 35-16 in his last 51 starts. That's the kind of trend that works in our favor! The Orioles are just 1-7 in their last 8 games against the AL West and they've lost 5 in a row at home against a winning team when SP Brain Burres takes the mound.


Bob Harvey

LAA Angels vs. Baltimore Orioles
Play: LAA Angels

The Angels have a lot of plusses on their side heading into tonight’s game in Baltimore. Los Halos own the majors best road record at 31-18. They’ve won two straight and seven of their last eight. They lead second place Oakland by ten-games in the AL West, they’ve got the best closer in baseball and tonight’s starting pitcher, Joe Saunders, has never lost to the Orioles. How’s that for impressive? Saunders, who is 12-5 on the year with a 3.05 ERA, grew up in Springfield, Virginia about 60 miles from Camden Yards. He grew up as a huge Orioles fan and just happens to have a 3-0 record against them.

Baltimore scored just two runs in two losses to Toronto on Thursday and have lost three-in-a row. The Orioles will go Brian Burress against the Halo’s. He’s 7-6 this season with a 5.02 ERA. The lefty fared well last year against the Angels going 2-0 with an ERA under 3.00.

The Angels are the cream of the crop in baseball right now. They’ve been getting it done with pitching up to this point and now their offense is starting to show signs of life. That figures to be “double trouble” for the Birds.


Robert Ross

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox
Prediction: Boston Red Sox

Cheap price on the home side. Yanks step up in class after playing Oakland and Minnesota at home. A better than 70% winning angle says to Play On - All teams when the money line is +125 to -125 (BOSTON) - stranding 7.5 or more runners on base per game on the season, after 3 straight games where they stranded 10 or more runners on base (31-13 over the last 5 seasons). Take Boston!


Tom Freese

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants
Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks

Arizona is 7-2 in the last 9 starts made by Danny Haren and they are 10-4 with Haren when favored. The Diamonbcaks are 5-1 their last 6 games when playing off a loss. San Francisco is 8-20 vs. a pitcher with a WHIP of less than 1.15 and they are 5-21 their last 26 games as home dogs. The Giants are 1-4 in the last 4 home starts made by Jonathan Sanchez and they are 0-4 their last 4 Friday games. PLAY ON ARIZONA


JOHN FINA

Selection: San Diego Padres +105

Today the San Diego Padres will be on the road as they take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. We will side with the San Diego Padres! One reason why we will side with the San Diego Padres is because they will be sending to the mound the much superior starting pitcher. This says it all... The San Diego Padres Starting Pitcher (Cha Seung Baek) has a 2.08 ERA in his last 3 starts, while Pittsburgh Pirates Starting Pitcher (Zach Duke) has a 12.82 ERA in his last 3 starts. As you can see, the San Diego Padres have the much better starting pitcher on the mound. In addition, the San Diego Padres have proven they can beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. In fact, the San Diego Padres are 10-2 in their last 12 meetings against the Pittsburgh Pirates. We see the San Diego Padres getting another win today! Take the San Diego Padres!


TONY MATHEWS

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants
Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks -135

The Arizona Diamondbacks will use starting pitcher Dan Haren. Dan Haren has pitched well this season. In fact, Dan Haren has a 2.58 ERA on the season. In addition, Dan Haren has a 1.23 ERA in his last 3 starts. We see Dan Haren pitching another great game today.

The San Francisco Giants will use starting pitcher Jonathan Sanchez. Jonathan Sanchez has struggled this season. In fact, Jonathan Sanchez has a 4.10 ERA on the season. In addition, Jonathan Sanchez has a 6.28 ERA in his last 3 starts. We see Jonathan Sanchez pitching another bad game today.

The San Francisco Giants have struggled when playing the role of the underdog. In fact, the San Francisco Giants are 1-7 in their last 8 games as an underdog.

Take the Arizona Diamondbacks


Oddswiz

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox
Play: Boston Red Sox

Huge Series this weekend at Fenway as the Bronx Bombers come in for a 3 game set. Generally, when these two hook up we zero in on the dog but tonight, we're going to lean towards the favored Bosox. Great pitching matchup featuring Beckett and Chamberlain and two teams that everyone in baseball knew would be right in the thick of things come this time of year. The Sox are tied with the Rays for 1st places in the AL East while the surging Yanks sit 3 back. David Ortiz returns to the lineup after missing 47 games and while he's not 100% his return is sure to give the Bosox an emotional lift and will have the fans in a frenzy at Fenway. Adding to the Bosox edge is their performance at home, 36-11 and 7-1 their last 8 compared to the Yankees playing .500 ball on the road and having gone 1-4 their last 5 road games. I hate playing favorites, especially when these two hook up but it looks as though the Bosox ar the right side tonight.


Tampa Bay Rays vs. Kansas City Royals
Play: Tampa Bay Rays

In a nutshell, if the Tampa Rays can't get their act together on the road, particularly against a team like the Royals, who are just 23-27 at home, then they can kiss their season good bye. You have to "make hay" at some point. It doesn't get any easier after this series as the Rays head to Toronto and these are the games and series you look back on at the end of a season when you finish just a few games out and realize it cost you the year. Can you say "must win"?. That's essentially what this game boils down to. The Rays get another crack at Brian Bannister who takes the mound for the Royals. They hammered him for 8 hits and 6 runs last time out (in Tampa). How's this......7, 7, 11, 9......that's the runs given up by the Royals in Bannister's last 4 starts where he is 0-2 with a 10.71 ERA. The Rays, a first place AL East team, one of the better teams in baseball over the first half, simply have to win games like this if they have any shot at all this year with the mighty Yanks and Bosox nipping at their heels. So, we'll use them one more time here. Take the Rays at the fair price.

LAA Angels vs. Baltimore Orioles
Play: LAA Angels

Joe Saunders has cashed in 13 of his last 19 road starts and pitches in Camden Yards tonight. He's also 5-1 in his career team starts and 8-2 in his career team starts on Fridays. On the flip side, Burres is just 2-4 during July and has dropped each of his last three home starts. With that, look for the Halos to improve to 13-4 in this series against the Birds here tonight as Burres cant wait for July to end
