The reigning World Series champs have been at their best on the road this season with an impressive 24-11 road mark. I'll back them tonight at a nice price behind southpaw ace Cole Hamels. The Phillies are 5-0 in their last 5 games as a road favorite of -110 to -150, 20-6 in their last 26 games as a road favorite, and 4-0 in Hamels' last 4 road starts. The Blue Jays are just 3-7 in their last 10 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter.
I like Hamels' to get the Phillies back in the win column tonight.

GAME: Philadelphia Phillies @ Toronto Blue Jays Jun 26, 2009 7:07PM
PICK: Philadelphia Phillies
REASON FOR PICK: The Phillies are barely hanging on to first place in the NL East, having lost 10 of 12 games but NINE of those 10 losses have come at home. The Phiilies still own MLB's best road record, going 24-11 while averaging 5.93 RPG. The Phillies scored four times in the top of the first inning last night at Tampa but then never scored again, losing 10-4. They move on to Toronto this weekend, wrapping up the IL season with three-game set with the Blue Jays. The Jays are 40-34 overall on the season, including 23-14 at home. The pitching matchup features two lefties, Cole Hamels (last year's MVP in both the NLCS and World Series) and rookie Ricky Romero. Hamels was brutal in his first two starts this year (9.2 IP / 19 hits / 12 ERs / 11.17 ERA) but has allowed three ERs or less in NINE of his last 11 starts (team is 7-4). Hamels struck out a season-high 10 and didn't walk a single batter over eight innings in his last outing (last Sunday vs Baltimore) but the Phillies still lost, 2-1. Philadelphia has now lost Hamels' last two starts after winning his previous five. However, Hamels' early season woes seem to be behind him. Romero has looked good for the Jays in nine starts this year, going 4-3 with a 3.59 ERA (team is 5-4). The lefty vs lefty matchup favors the Phillies who were 32-22 (5.4 RPG) vs left-handers last year and have opened 16-10 (5.6 RPG) vs them in '09. In contrast the Jays were only 21-24 vs left-handers last season and are just 12-11 against them this year. I'm taking Hamels over the rookie in this one.

San Diego Padres @ Texas Rangers Jun 26, 2009 8:05PM
PICK: San Diego Padres
REASON FOR PICK: This is a great value play on the Padres. Texas won two of its final three games in Arizona but both were one-run victories and it has been a rough stretch for the Rangers. Since May 31st, Texas is only 9-13 and tonight on its return home finds itself more than a 2-1 underdog. To put that into perspective, the Rangers have not been a 2-1 favorite this season and have not been a 2-1 favorite since 2006 when they went 0-2 in that situation. The Padres come into town in the midst of a bad run of their own but they have not been a 2-1 underdog at all this season. These heavy favorite lines should be set on the elite teams and the Rangers are far from that at this point in the season. Making this line so high is the fact that Kevin Millwood takes the hill for the Rangers and he is having a great season. In 15 starts, he has a 2.62 ERA including a 2.08 ERA in eight home starts. Those ERA’s are very solid but his WHIP both overall and at home is 1.22 and while good, it is not in line with those ERA’s. He is allowing a good number of baserunners but has been fortunate to get out of jams. Texas is just 8-7 in those 15 games. The Padres counter with Walter Silva who is off to a slow start but does have two decent outings in his three starts on the season. He went on the disabled list after his April 13th start against Mets and returned last Saturday against Oakland by allowing three runs in 5.1 innings so it was very close to a quality outing. We look for him to carry some of that over into this one and give San Diego a very good chance to cash a large ticket.

One night after the lowly Nationals ended their own three-game losing streak, the Orioles will try to do the same at Washington’s expense in Friday’s opener of the latest Beltway Series.Baltimore (32-40) had won five straight and seven of eight against the class of the NL East, opening its six-game road trip with a three-game sweep of defending World Series champion Philadelphia.But the Florida Marlins sent the Orioles to an 11-3 loss Thursday to finish a sweep. Baltimore’s team ERA swelled to 5.06, which ranks 28th in the majors, after giving up 23 runs in the series; that being said, I look for Brad Bergesen to have a big game throwing tonight; Baltimore rookie Brad Bergesen (4-2, 3.94) has been effective lately. Bergesen’s run of four straight quality starts ended Saturday when he allowed four runs in 6 1-3 innings at Philadelphia, but the right-hander still has a 2.35 ERA in his last five starts and has not lost since May 19. Ross Detwiler, another first-year player in Washington’s rookie-laden rotation, (0-3, 4.76 ERA) is still looking for his first major league win, but he held Toronto to two runs in seven-plus innings of the Nationals’ 5-3, 12-inning win Saturday. Baltimore has seen the total go under the posted number in 15 of 20 games in June and I expect this strong trend to continue.

To combat their troubles winning, Arizona will have to start the struggling Billy Buckner (2-4, 7.15) who is 0-3 with a 9.72 ERA over his last three starts.

Love the road team in this Buckeye State battle, as we bank on Aaron Harang to get it done and avenge a 4-1 loss to the White Sox his last time out.
The right-hander, who is 3-1 with a 2.24 ERA in eight starts against the Indians in his career, has pitched well enough to win for the most part, but has been on the tough end of several losses and no-decisions.
He's allowed just three earned runs over 17 innings his last three times out, and that includes an eight-inning performance the last time he pitched on the road - at Washington, where he didn't allow one earned run.
He'll do much better for us than Jeremy Sowers, who lasted just 4-1/3 innings in his last start, allowing six runs on seven hits with four walks in a 6-2 loss against the Cubs last Sunday.
The loss extended his losing streak to three games, and it doesn't get any easier in having to face the Reds. He is 0-2 with an 8.55 ERA in four career starts against them. On top of that, in two Interleague starts this season, the southpaw is 0-2 with an 8.68 ERA.

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox
Play: Under 9
The Cubs and White Sox will hook up once again this weekend, this time on the Southside of Chicago when the two begin a three-game set at US Cellular Field. The two split a shortened two game series just over a week ago. Randy Wells will toe the slab for the visiting Cubs opposed by Jose Contreras of the White Sox. Both pitchers enter this contest pitching well and could present some problems for the opposing offenses. Wells is coming off of his first Major League win, getting the decision in a 6-2 win against the Indians. He had allowed three runs or less in six of his seven starts before that outing against Cleveland but was a victim of an anemic Cubs offense. Not much has changed as the Cubbies are still struggling at the plate, hitting just .237 away from Wrigley. After a five start stint with Triple-A Charlotte, Jose Contreras has returned to give the White Sox three consecutive quality starts. Since rejoining the rotation, Contreras has allowed 12 hits and three runs over 22 innings, striking out 13 and walking three. The White Sox enter this meeting with plenty of momentum after taking two of three from the visiting Dodgers. They had seven home runs in those two wins against Los Angeles, but will find it hard to go deep off of Wells who has allowed just two home runs in 49 innings pitched this season. These two starting pitchers should make it hard for these two offenses to exceed expectations.
