Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Boston Red Sox
-122 at 5DIMES > 19h.
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Boston s they face the NY Yankees set to start at 7:05 EST. Boston is a very strong 15-3 (+11.5 Units) against the money line in road games versus an AL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.500 to 1.600 over the last 3 seasons. Lester is 22-6 (+13.1 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -125 to -175 over the last 2 seasons. NYY are just 5-10 (-11.9 Units) against the money line in home games when playing with a day off over the last 2 seasons. Lester is pitching extremely well right now sporting a 1.29 ERA and a 1.000 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Yankee starter Chamberlain is getting hammered as the scouting report have caught him. Teams know how to approach him successfully and most evident in his last start against Seattle where the Mariners hammered him for 7 ER in 3 innings pitched. He has pitched 3,4,3 innings in his last 3 consecutive starts. Boston is coming together as a solid team with good team chemistry right at the most important time of the year. Take Boston.

Chicago Cubs vs. San Francisco Giants Total
7 un-115 at 5DIMES > 22h.
The Achille's heal for these teams all season has been offense. The pitching has been great, but the Cubs rank 21st in baseball in runs scored, the Giants 26. For this game a pair of aces take the hill. Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs has 23 strikeouts in his last 17 innings and is 4-1 all time against the light-hitting Giants. San Francisco welcomes back ace Tim Lincecum (14-6, 2.47 ERA), who is also a dynamite strikeout hurler with 247 on the season. No sense trying to coax a high scoring game out of this one. Play the Cubs/Giants Under the total.

Does anyone bet Root Consitantly?

Hey guys I have been following Root and see he wins alot of his big games. He is 5-0 on thurs. and 1-1 on nfl mon. night. Was wondering if any one has followed him for a few years? If so how did you fair? All thoughts are welcomed. Thank you.

 

[MysteryMan]

This is my 3rd season with Root and I am satisfied. I do not have exact figures but he wins alot. I'm surprised that I rarely see anyone mention him on here. He is really good at picking a dog to outright win. IMO he is best at west coast CFB but is good all around. I am currently playing his Upset Club picks which only cost a couple hundred bucks for the season.

Our Bonus Play run stands at 37-23-4 the last 64 days!

For Friday night, we will take Minnesota in a near pick situation against Kansas City.

The Royals have been cooled off a little, losing the last 2 nights to the Boston Red Sox, and now they must take on a Minny team that has won 9 of 10, including their last 3.

No doubt RobinsonTejeda has been an eye-opener since coming back to the major leagues, as he is a perfect 3-0 in 4 return starts with an ERA under 1, but you have to believe that that kind of run just can't continue this time out.

Carl Pavano just beat Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium on August 23rd, working 7 innings of 2 run ball, and the Twins are a solid 5-1 versus the Royals this year in KC.

Minny has also won 12 of the last 15 overall meetings in Kansas City!

Have to go with Minnesota in a "must win" situation.

Play on the Twins.
3? MINNESOTA

For Friday, I’ll lay the chalk with Jon Lester and the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.

Obviously, New York has had the upper-hand in this rivalry this summer. Ever since losing the first seven meetings this season, the Yankees have taken six of the last seven, including a four-game home sweep last month. However, tonight’s pitching matchup favors Boston in a big way. The Sox are sending lefty Jon Lester to the mound, and all you need to know about him is this: Boston is 7-0 in his seven starts since mid-August; Lester has a 2.09 ERA since the beginning of August, including a 1.29 ERA in his last three starts; and he’s dominated New York in six starts against them since the start of 2008 (3-0, 1.90 ERA).

On the other hand, Yankees right-hander Joba Chamberlain is nothing more than a middle reliever disguised as a starter .That’s because for the last six weeks or so, New York has been employing the Joba Rules, as they haven’t let him go beyond four innings in any of his last six starts, and he hasn’t thrown more than 96 pitches in his last seven outings (and the big man is 0-4 during this stretch). Check out Chamberlain’s pitch counts his last five times he’s gone to the mound: 35, 59, 55, 67 and 69. His numbers since the start of August: one win, four losses, 33 earned runs allowed in 36 innings pitched (8.25 ERA).

Chamberlain will once again be on a pitch count tonight, and with two more games left in this series, we’re not going to see New York’s better arms follow him to the mound. Given Lester’s dominance (both lately and over the last two years against the Yankees) and Chamberlain’s struggles, this is a throwaway game for New York. Back the road team.
3♦ BOSTON (BASED ON A 1♦ TO 10♦ SCALE)

Improved to 4-1 with my last five FREE selections after the Phillies rolled to a win in Milwaukee on Thursday. Tonigh I've got a nice plus-money comp selection on the Rockies as they host the Cardinals.

I know the Cardinals' Chris Carpenter (16-4, 2.34) has been virtually untouchable this season, but this is a great spot to take our shot with the plus-money Rockies at home.

Colorado just dropped two straight to the lowly Padres, so they are pissed. Plus those losses have narrowed their lead in the N.L. Wildcard to 3 1/2 over the Braves and four over the Giants. So they know they need to win and you'll see them get a close one tonight behind the pitching of Aaron Cook (10-6, 4.47 ERA).

Colorado swept four games in St. Louis back in June, absolutely dominating the Cardinals, outscoring them 33-9 in the four-game set. The Rockies have taken six straight from St. Louis coming into tonight.

Cook is making his first start since August 21. In that June series he dominated St. Louis in his start, going eight innings and allowing one run on four hits in a 10-1 Colorado win. It was that key series that really turned around the Rockies season and catapulted them to this run toward the wildcard.

Colorado is on runs of 37-16 at home, 8-1 at home against right-handed starters and 37-15 against N.L. Central teams.

It will be tough to beat Carpenter, who has been magnificent this season. He didn't face the Rockies back in June and hasn't seen them since 2006.

The Rockies need a win while the Cardinals are just one win away from clinching their playoff spot. I'm grabbing the plus money on the Rockies in this one.
2♦ COLORADO

An otherwise meaningless run in the eighth inning by Toronto cost me a run-line victory for the Mariners on my complimentary selection Thursday.

But that's not stopping me from going with a run-line play on the Phillies and Cliff Lee today!

Lee (7-2, 2.65 ERA) has cooled off a little bit since first coming to Philadelphia at the trade deadline, but he is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA over his last three outings. A rain delay limited the left-hander to four innings at Atlanta on Sunday, when he gave up one run and five hits.

Lee never has faced Milwaukee, but he is 4-1 with a 3.08 ERA in six road starts with the Phillies.

Brewers starter Manny Parra (10-10, 6.42) has had a disappointing season, with the highest ERA in the NL for any pitcher with at least 80 innings. The lefty hasn't pitched since leaving his start against St. Louis on Sept. 8 with a stiff neck.

Parra is 0-3 with a 17.05 ERA in three career games (two starts) vs. Milwaukee.

Even if Parra is perfectly healthy, I think Philadelphia's offense should tee off on him today. And if Lee is on top of his game, this one is going to get real ugly in a hurry. Take the Phillies on the run line.
4♦ PHILADELPHIA -1 1/2 RUNS

G-Man gave you another winner on Thursday with the Cubs, now 8-5-1 the last 2 weeks for free.

Friday night, and I am sticking with the red-hot Red-legs as they take on Houston.

Cincinnati just pulled off the 3-game sweep of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, and now they head back to the juice-box where they have taken 3 of the 4 series meetings against Houston this year.

Overall, the Reds are 10-3 in the season series versus the Astros, and starter Matt Maloney is fresh off his first win of the season his last time out, going the qualifying 5 frames while allowing 2 runs to score in a over Florida.

Brain Moehler hasn't got much to show for his last 3 starts, as he sports 3 no decisions while going 18 innings, and allowing 6 runs to score.

Moehler should be decent once again, but with Houston just stopping their rather lengthy losing skid on Wednesday, I don't see them running their winning streak to 2 in a row.

Cincy is just too hot right now, take 'em!
4♦ CINCINNATI

Marc Lawrence MLB - Friday 9/25
Play On: Tampa Bay w/Shields vs Holland

Note: When the Rays send James Shields to the mound in Texas against Derek Holland tonight they will do so knowing he has cashed in three of his last four road starts. Shields is also 3-0 in his career team starts versus the Rangers. With Holland in rocky current form with five straight team starts losses and a 12.39 ERA to show for his efforts, we'll back the better team and the better arm here tonight.
