Wednesday Matinees

The Wednesday afternoon baseball card provides bettors with five games to wager on, including three division battles. The Mets and Reds close out a three-game set in Cincinnati, while the Twins and Tigers continue to battle atop the AL Central at Comerica Park. We'll begin in northern Ohio as the surprising Jays look to capture another series against the Indians.

Blue Jays at Indians - 12:05 PM EST

Toronto has become the best power team in all of baseball by leading the league with 41 homers. Many people believed the loss of Roy Halladay would destroy this Blue Jays team, but Toronto's offense has picked things up as it goes for a matinee win at Cleveland.

Fausto Carmona (3-1, 4.05 ERA) is coming off his worst start of the season, allowing six earned runs in six innings of a 9-3 home setback to the Twins. The inconsistent Carmona actually put up solid numbers prior to the meltdown to Minnesota by compiling four quality starts in his four outings. Cleveland is a perfect 3-0 in Carmona's three career starts against Toronto, including a complete-game, five-hitter at home in May 2008.

The Jays send out former reliever Brandon Morrow (2-2, 5.46 ERA), who has steadily improved over his last few starts. The ex-Mariners righty gave up 12 earned runs in his first two outings, but Morrow has allowed just five earned runs in his last three starts, including wins over the Royals and A's. Morrow has struck out 25 batters his previous three outings, as the Indians' offense has compiled the third-most strikeouts in the American League.

The Tribe has scored three runs or less in six of the last eight games, all losses. In the two games in which Cleveland has put up more than three runs, the Indians beat the Twins and Angels. Cleveland is a dreadful 2-14 scoring three runs or fewer, while going 8-1 when plating at least four runs.

Mets at Reds - 12:35 PM EST

New York and Cincinnati finish off a three-game series at the Great American Ballpark with two pitchers going in opposite directions taking the hill. Jonathon Niese (1-2, 3.10 ERA) is coming off three impressive starts, while Johnny Cueto (1-1, 5.33 ERA) has delivered just one quality outing this season.

Niese turned in the best performance of his career against the Phillies his last time out, limiting the NL Champs to four hits and one earned run in seven innings of work as the Mets cruised to a 9-1 win. The southpaw has turned into a strong 'under' play this season by finishing 'under' the total in four of five starts.

Cueto has been unable to duplicate the hot start of 2009, in which the Reds' righty began 4-1. The 24-year old finally won his first game of 2010 by tossing five innings of a 3-2 road victory at St. Louis. Cueto has not lasted past the sixth inning in any of his first five starts, while not faring well against the Mets in his career, compiling an 0-3 lifetime mark.

The Mets are 6-3 in day games this season, while going 'under' the total six times. On the flip side, the Reds are just 3-6 during matinees, but have been a consistent 'under' team with a 5-1-3 mark to the 'under.'

Orioles at Yankees - 1:05 PM EST

The Bombers look for their sixth win in seven games as they conclude their series with Baltimore. The O's have had a healthy dose of division rivals recently with the last 11 contests coming against the Yankees and Red Sox. Baltimore has played better following a 2-16 start by going 5-3 the last eight games.

Andy Pettitte (3-0, 2.12 ERA) has quietly dominated opponents this season, as the Yanks have won all five starts made by the veteran lefty. New York is 8-1 the last nine at home when Pettitte starts with the lone loss coming to these Orioles last September as $3.00 'chalk.' Pettitte is coming off his first non-quality outing of the season (6 IP, 4 ER) as the Yanks came back to beat the White Sox, 6-4.

The O's send out righty David Hernandez (0-3, 4.55 ERA), who looks for his first victory since August 11, 2008 against Oakland. Baltimore picked up a pair of victories over Boston in which Hernandez started, but the 24-year old received a no-decision each time. Hernandez faced the Yanks twice last season, picking up a pair of no-decisions as Baltimore lost each contest.

The Yanks are 8-2 the last ten at home against the Orioles, while Baltimore has finished 'under' the total in 10 of 14 games on the highway.

Tigers at Twins - 1:10 PM EST

The top two teams in the AL Central won't see each other again until the end of June at Target Field following Wednesday's matchup. The Twins grabbed the opener in convincing fashion, 10-4, snapping Detroit's five-game winning streak. A pair of pitchers who have had their ups and downs take the mound as Kevin Slowey opposes Rick Porcello.

Slowey (3-2, 2.77 ERA) has lasted past the sixth inning just once in five starts this season, while coming off his third victory over the Indians last Friday. Minnesota is 4-1 in Slowey's five career starts against Detroit, despite the righty getting lit up by the Tigers at home last July in an 11-9 loss (3 IP, 6 ER). Slowey's day numbers this season (0-2, 6.10 ERA) have been dreadful compared to his night stats (3-0, 2.45 ERA).

Porcello (2-2, 8.03 ERA) has struggled over the last three starts, allowing 17 earned runs and 26 hits in 13.2 innings, while Detroit is 1-2 in this stretch. The right-hander hasn't seen much success against the Twins in his young career, as the Tigers are 1-4 in Porcello's five lifetime starts in this series. Three of those losses did come at the Metrodome, so pitching at Target Field may benefit Porcello.

The Tigers are 5-0-1 to the 'over' the last six away games, while going 7-1 in series finales this season. The Twins, who continue to play without MVP Joe Mauer, are just 3-5 in the final game of a series in 2010, including home losses as huge favorites against the Indians and Royals.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tampa Bay Rays at Seattle Mariners (-105, 6.5)

The cat’s out of the bag. Tampa Bay is the best all-around ballclub in baseball.

The Rays’ crux last season was playing consistently away from home, but the team came out with a 9-1 record after its first road trip of the 2010 campaign. Tampa began a nine-day, nine-game excursion Tuesday to the West Coast where the team has historically been bad.

"Historically means history, so that means it's in the past," said Matt Garza, referring to the Rays 18-34 record against Seattle, L.A. and Oakland since 2006. "We didn't play well on the road last year, and people said we wouldn't do it this year."

To get a victory Wednesday, Garza will have to be lights out against a formidable opponent – Cliff Lee. The former Cy Young winner dazzled in his first start since coming back from injury, tossing 7.0 shutout innings with eight strikeouts.

Lee’s stellar performance was ruined by the bullpen so you might see manager Don Wakamatsu stretch him out if needed against the Rays who’s internal clocks could still be adjusting to the three-hour time change.

Lee is 6-2 in 10 career starts versus Tampa Bay with a 2.32 ERA.

Pick: Mariners


Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers (-190, 9)


The Brew Crew pounded out 20- and 17-run games less than two weeks ago but the offense has been futile in nearly every outing since.

Over the last six games, Milwaukee has plated 10 runs while getting shutout in three of those contests. The Brewers have dropped eight of 10 and are hitting .211 during that stretch.

"We've got some guys scuffling," manager Ken Macha told the team's official website. "When you're struggling and the pitching is pretty good, it's doubled up on you."

It’s debatable whether or not you can call Jon Garland, Mat Latos, Clayton Richard and Wade LeBlanc “pretty good” pitchers. Those four San Diego starters held Milwaukee to a pair of runs during their series.

It looks as if the Crew’s offense has hit a roadblock and things won’t get any easier with Joe Torre keeping hitters off-balance from the dugout. His managing tactics have held opponents to three runs or fewer in six of the last 10 games.

Pick: Under

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 5 in Baseball History...

1904 - Boston Pilgrims pitcher Cy Young hurls the second of his three no hitters, a 3-0 perfect game against the Philadelphia Athletics and Rube Waddell. Young will eventually complete 24 straight hitless innings, still the record, and 45 shutout innings in a row, a record until broken by Jack Coombs' 53 scoreless frames in 1910.

1922 - Pitching against the Tigers, the Browns' Bill Bayne takes a no-hitter into the ninth inning. Detroit manager Ty Cobb then sends up five straight pinch hitters, the first of whom breaks up the no-hitter. One of the pinch hitters Cobb inserts is Bob Fothergill, who bats for Cobb and strikes out, becoming the only man ever to pinch hit for the Georgia Peach.

1925 - Ty Cobb is 6-for-6, including three home runs, in Detroit's 14-8 win over the Browns. Cobb's 16 total bases tops Joe Hauser's 14 of August 2, 1924.

1938 - Hal Kelleher of the Phillies faces 16 batters in the sixth inning as the Cubs score 12 runs. Both marks are N.L. records off one hurler in a single inning. The Cubs win 21-2 with Joe Marty tallying four runs, four RBI's, and four hits. The loss goes to Wayne LaMaster, who threw just three pitches to leadoff batter Stan Hack before leaving the game with a pain in his throwing arm.

1949 - Charlie Gehringer, star second baseman of the Tigers between 1926-1941, is picked for the Hall of Fame. Two days later, the Old-Timers committee will select Kid Nichols and Three-Finger Brown.

1962 - Angels rookie Bo Belinsky pitches a no-hitter against the Orioles, the organization from which the cocky lefty was drafted in 1961. Belinsky has nine strikeouts and beats Steve Barber 2-0.

1975 - Oakland releases pinch runner Herb Washington. Washington played in 105 major league games without batting, pitching, or fielding. He stole 31 bases and scored 33 runs.

1978 - Pete Rose singles off Montreal's Steve Rogers for career hit 3,000. The Expos beat the Reds 4-3.

St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies [7:05 PM ET]

Cardinals (-119, O/U 10): St. Louis is enjoying a great start to their season, as they are currently 18-9 on the season. The Cardinals are expected to win the National League pennant, and to participate in this years World Series. The Cardinals have won 8 of their past 10 games, with six of those wins coming by multiple runs. St. Louis has a dynamic pitching staff, with many thanks to pitching coach Dave Duncan. P Brad Penny can thank Duncan for resurrecting his career, considering he's 3-1 with an ERA of 1.56 this season. Penny has joined the likes of Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright as dominant starting pitchers for the Cardinals this season. The Cardinals are 7-2 ATS in their last 8 games as the listed favorite. The Cardinals are 16-5 in their last 21 games against a right handed starter.

Cardinals are 8-2 last 10 overall.
Under is 7-0 last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning record.

Key Injuries - 2B Felipe Lopez (elbow) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Phillies: Philadelphia has had a rather shaky start to their season, and they are hoping an extended home-stand will rid them of their problems. The Phillies are currently 15-11 on the season. Philadelphia is currently 6-5 at home this season, and as a title contender they know they must improve on that record. The Phillies have been rather inconsistent offensively of late, scoring 3 runs or fewer in 6 of their past 10 games. The Phillies are 8-1 in their last 9 home games against a right-handed starter, so they are excited to face the rejuvinated Brad Penny. Philaedelphia is 12-1 in their last 13 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150. P Kyle Kendrick will get the start for the Phillies, and he needs a quality start in the worst way. Kendricks is currently 0-1 with an ERA of 7.61. The Phillies are 0-5 in Kendrick's last 5 starts as the listed underdog.

Phillies are 14-3 last 17 Wednesday games.
Over is 13-3 last 16 during game 3 of a series.

Key Injuries - SS Jimmy Rollins (calf) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side of the Day)
