Hondo posted a modest gain last night when he tossed a splitter with Sox and Sawx to bump the earnings up to 95 berenyis.
Today, he expects Looper to be super at Wrigley -- 10 units on the Brewskis. Also, he'll throw another 10 at the Metamucils, because they seem like regu lar guys.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Toronto (42-39) at N.Y. Yankees (46-33)
The Blue Jays trot out ace right-hander Roy Halladay (10-2, 2.56 ERA) to face struggling righty Chien-Ming Wang (1-6, 10.06) and the Yankees in the second game of a four-game series at Yankee Stadium.
New York rode the arm of A.J. Burnett to a 4-2 victory in Friday’s series opener, with the right-hander allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in seven innings, with seven strikeouts. The Yankees have won eight of their last nine and are on further upticks of 6-0 against right-handers, 6-1 against winning teams and 17-8 in the Bronx.
On the flip side, Toronto is on slides of 1-5 overall, 1-4 against winning teams, 0-4 on Saturday and 3-11 inside the A.L. East, but they are on a 5-1 surge on the road against winning teams.
New York is 3-1 this season against Toronto, after going 8-9 against the Jays last year, and the Yanks are 5-2 in Wang’s last seven home starts against Toronto. But with Halladay on the hill, the Blue Jays are on rolls in this rivalry of 21-7 overall and 10-4 at Yankee Stadium.
Toronto had won seven of nine behind Halladay before losing in his last two starts. On Monday at home against Tampa Bay, Halladay allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings, but his teammates didn’t put up a run until the eighth inning of a 4-1 loss. Halladay is 4-0 with a solid 1.88 ERA in six road starts this year, and he’s 16-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 33 lifetime appearances (31 starts) against the Pinstripes. On May 12, he allowed just one run on five hits, with no walks and five strikeouts, in a complete-game 5-1 home win over New York.
With Halladay starting, Toronto is on runs of 89-43 overall, 13-6 on the road, 4-1 against winning teams and 45-18 in division play.
Wang finally notched his first win of the season last Sunday, yielding two runs on four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings of a 4-2 road win against the Mets. The 29-year-old is 0-2 with a whopping 11.57 ERA in four home appearances (three starts) this year, and he’s 4-2 with a 4.63 ERA in nine career starts against Toronto.
New York is 48-23 in Wang’s last 71 starts and 39-16 in his last 55 home outings, but the Mets are on slides behind the right-hander of 1-4 in division play and 2-8 with Wang an underdog.
The under for Toronto is on runs of 6-0-1 overall, 21-8 in the A.L. East and 12-5 on the road, but with Halladay starting, the over is on streaks of 17-6 overall, 8-3 against winning teams, 8-3 in division contests and 7-3 on the road. Likewise, with Wang starting for New York, the over is on rolls of 9-4-1 overall, 11-4-2 against winning teams and 5-1 at home.
ATS ADVANTAGE: TORONTO and OVER
NATIONAL LEAGUE
N.Y. Mets (39-40) at Philadelphia (40-37)
The Phillies send veteran left-hander Jamie Moyer (6-6, 2.05 ERA) to the mound at Citizens Bank Park for the second game of a three-game weekend set with the N.L. East rival Mets, who will counter with right-hander Fernando Nieve (3-1, 2.25).
In Friday’s opener, Philadelphia rolled to a 7-2 victory, putting up all seven runs over the first three innings and coasting from there. The Phillies, though, are still a dismal 14-22 at home this season and are on a number of negative streaks, including 4-12 overall, 2-9 as a favorite, 1-6 at home and 6-16 at home against righties.
New York is 13-7 in its last 20 division contests, but is otherwise on slides of 2-6 overall, 1-6 against winning teams and 1-4 on Saturdays.
The Mets went 4-1 in their first five games of the year against the Phillies, but Philadelphia has rebounded to win the last three in row in this rivalry, and the Phils are 4-1 in Moyer’s last five starts against New York.
Philadelphia has won in three of Moyer’s last four starts, including a 5-4 victory Sunday at Toronto, where the 46-year-old allowed four runs on five hits (three homers) and two walks in just five innings, yet still got the winning decision. Moyer is 2-4 with an inflated 7.15 ERA in seven home starts this season, and he’s 7-5 with a more respectable 3.66 ERA in 20 career starts against the Mets.
However, in back-to-back starts against New York in May -- one at home, one on the road -- he allowed 12 earned runs on 14 hits and six walks in just eight total innings. On May 7 at New York, he got pelted for seven runs on seven hits and two walks in just 2 1/3 innings of a 7-5 loss. Despite those negatives, the Phils are 32-11 in Moyer’s last 43 starts against N.L. East foes.
Nieve won his first three starts of the year, getting plenty of support as the Mets pushed 22 runs across while Nieve allowed just three runs over 18 2/3 innings (1.44 ERA). However, in his last outing, Nieve got roughed up for three runs on 11 hits and a walk in just 3 1/3 innings Monday during a 10-6 loss at Milwaukee. Nieve is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA in three outings (two starts) on the road this year, and though he’s only pitched 1 1/3 career innings against the Phillies (over five relief appearances), he’s 0-1 with an astronomical 33.75 ERA against them.
The under is on a 12-5-1 roll with the Phils a home chalk and is 7-1 for Philadelphia behind Moyer. The under is also on a 6-2 run for New York in division play. But in this rivalry, the over is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings at Citizens Bank Park.

New York is 3-1 this season against Toronto, after going 8-9 against the Jays last year, and the Yanks are 5-2 in Wang’s last seven home starts against Toronto. But with Halladay on the hill, the Blue Jays are on rolls in this rivalry of 21-7 overall and 10-4 at Yankee Stadium.
Toronto had won seven of nine behind Halladay before losing in his last two starts. On Monday at home against Tampa Bay, Halladay allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings, but his teammates didn’t put up a run until the eighth inning of a 4-1 loss. Halladay is 4-0 with a solid 1.88 ERA in six road starts this year, and he’s 16-5 with a 2.79 ERA in 33 lifetime appearances (31 starts) against the Pinstripes. On May 12, he allowed just one run on five hits, with no walks and five strikeouts, in a complete-game 5-1 home win over New York.
With Halladay starting, Toronto is on runs of 89-43 overall, 13-6 on the road, 4-1 against winning teams and 45-18 in division play.
Wang finally notched his first win of the season last Sunday, yielding two runs on four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings of a 4-2 road win against the Mets. The 29-year-old is 0-2 with a whopping 11.57 ERA in four home appearances (three starts) this year, and he’s 4-2 with a 4.63 ERA in nine career starts against Toronto.
New York is 48-23 in Wang’s last 71 starts and 39-16 in his last 55 home outings, but the Mets are on slides behind the right-hander of 1-4 in division play and 2-8 with Wang an underdog.
The under for Toronto is on runs of 6-0-1 overall, 21-8 in the A.L. East and 12-5 on the road, but with Halladay starting, the over is on streaks of 17-6 overall, 8-3 against winning teams, 8-3 in division contests and 7-3 on the road. Likewise, with Wang starting for New York, the over is on rolls of 9-4-1 overall, 11-4-2 against winning teams and 5-1 at home.

Nieve won his first three starts of the year, getting plenty of support as the Mets pushed 22 runs across while Nieve allowed just three runs over 18 2/3 innings (1.44 ERA).

White Sox at Royals
WHITE SOX - Earlier this season the Chicago White Sox couldn’t buy a win against the Kansas City Royals. But after a two-game set in early May, where the Royals picked up the sweep, the White Sox have owned Kansas City.
Since then, Chicago has gone 5-0 against the Royals and will add another to the win column today.
Consider that the Sox haven’t just been hot against Kansas City, they’ve just been hot overall. Over their last 18 games the the White Sox are 14-4. In that stretch, and going a little further, Chicago has been impressive on the road, going 15-4 its last 19 away from the Windy City.
On the other side, the Royals have been their typical selves. They’ve lost 4 straight and are just 4-12 their last 16 games.
Also keep in mind that on the mound Chicago will turn to Gavin Floyd, who has become one of their most reliable pitchers over the last month. Coming into today the White Sox have won 5 of his last 6 starts. In that 6-game stretch Floyd has allowed only 6 earned runs in 42 1/3 innings of work.
Floyd will continue his brilliance and the White Sox will continue their domination of the Royals. Take Chicago on the road in this one.

Saturday's Lineup
25 Dime ---- BLUE JAYS (With Halladay and Wang as listed pitchers)
10 Dime ---- BRAVES (With Hanson as listed pitcher)
TORONTO BLUE JAYS (with Halladay and Wang) --- This one comes down to one simple thing... starting pitching, and I'm telling you right now that Roy Halladay will go at least seven innings and the Blue Jays will win this game by at least two runs.
Halladay is having another solid season, winning 10 games while losing just two with a 2.56 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Halladay has struck out 95 hitters thus far, walking just 14, and even despite coming back from the 15-day DL, Halladay pitched six solid innings in his last outing vs. Tampa Bay. Though he didn't get the win, Halladay still only allowed two earned runs in those six innings but didn't get any run support. Halladay's career numbers against New York look like this: 16-5, a 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and an opponents' batting average again of just .236. 5 times in his career he's gone the complete 9 innings out of 31 starts and there's a good chance he could do that again this afternoon. The Blue Jays are also 21-7 in Halladay's last 28 starts vs. the Yankees. Numbers don't lie.
The Yankees counter with Chien-Ming Wang, and it goes without saying, he hasn't been good this year. Though he was decent in his very last outing (2 ERs in 5.1 innings pitched), his overall ERA (10.19) should tell you the story of how poorly Wang has pitched this year since coming off last year's devastating injury. The Yankees are still trying to find that 5th starter in the rotation, and so far the job belongs to Wang. The Yankees won game one of this series, 4-2, yesterday, which gives the Jays all the more reason to come out fighting today. Top play of the day on the Blue Jays over the Yankees.
ATLANTA BRAVES (with Hanson) --- Much like the Blue Jays, this play comes down to my man-crush on Tommy Hanson. Hanson has been absolutely untouchable in his last three starts and there's no reason for me to think the Nationals have enough firepower to counter that today.
17.1 innings pitched, no earned runs, and a total of nine hits in those three games. That's pretty masterful even for the most experienced pitcher. We're dealing with a rookie, and I believe that plays right into our hands today. The Nats have not seen Hanson yet this year, so the advantage (at least for this time around) has to fall in the hands of the Braves this afternoon. Atlanta won the first game of this series last night, 9-8, and have won their last four games (after dropping four straight).
John Lannan counters for the Nationals, and although he's been better lately, I'm not sold on the fact he can get the job done at home today. Lannan has faced the Braves twice already this season, dropping both games... one in Washington and one in Atlanta. Though his ERA is solid againt Atlanta, you can't ignore the fact he just can't figure out how to beat the Braves. My money is on the Braves this afternoon as your top bonus play of the day.
