MOnday MLB PLay- GC
On Monday the MLB Bonus Play is on the SD. Padres. Game 968 at 10:05 eastern. Will this be the night the Pads break the longest losing streak by a team that was over 2 games above .500 since 1932? Tonight the Padres have a solid pitching edge with Latos over Padilla. Latos has a solid 2.08 home era and has been lights out over his last few outings with a1.80 era. In his 2 starts vs the Dodgers this year has pitched 11 innings allowing just 3 runs. Padilla for the Dodgers has a hideous 6.41 road era and the Dodgers have dropped 7 of his 9 road starts this year. The Dodgers are 3-11 on the road when the total is 7 or less and 4-11 as a road dog in this range. They are averaging just 3 runs per game over the past week as well. The Padres are 9-1 as a home favorite in this range and should break their 10 game losing streak tonight. On Monday I have the AL Total of the month, a 5 unit total form a system that averages over 12 runs per game and has cashed 14 of 15 times. I also have a 44-4 Blowout Power angle . Take the Padres as the Bonus Play- GC

Game : Houston Astros at Chicago Cubs (MLB) 02:20pm EST
Prediction : Houston Astros ML / Wandy Rodriguez must start.
Analysis : There has been no better pitcher over the last two months than Houston’s Wandy Rodriguez. In his last eight starts he’s allowed a grand total of six earned runs. That’s covering 55.1 innings of work. He’s dominated the strike zone with an amazing 59 to 6 strikeout to walk ratio. The Astros have beaten Chicago 7 of his last 9 starts against them. In seven of those starts he held the Cubs to two earned runs or less.
Casey Coleman takes the hill for the Cubs. Unlike Rodriguez he doesn’t have lights out stuff. In fact, in three starts since his call-up he’s struck out just six batters in 16.2 innings.

The Braves’ three-month ownership of the NL East lead is in jeopardy. After losing two of three to Florida, Philly has crept up on them. So, I expect no letdown here against the lowly Pirates who are 31-38 at home. When facing RHP, Pittsburgh manages just 3.4 runs per game. Against Tommy Hanson (3.27 road ERA), there is no reason to expect they will get much more than that here. Meanwhile, the Braves get to tee off against Brian Burres who has posted a 6.31 ERA this season. Backing up Burres is an excellent bullpen (3.07 ERA). That doesn't bode well for the Pirates who are 2-18 this season vs. teams with a bullpen that has an ERA below 3.33. Pittsburgh is 27-63 this season after a loss. I look for that to go to 27-64 today.

Maryland at Navy
Pick: Navy -6
I really like Navy in this game vs Maryland. I think this is going to be a pretty good Navy team who return starting Senior QB, R.Dobbs who set a school record last year with 27 TD's. Navy will once again be one of the best teams in the country running the football and expect them to run over Maryland here. Maryland was last in the ACC in rush defense and haven't done much to address this issue, the Terps are in trouble here. Navy is the play
