(955) MIAMI MARLINS at (956) CINCINNATI REDS
Take: (955) MIAMI MARLINS
No price on this game as I’m writing this, but the Marlins will definitely be the underdog. It’s the very unexpected return to the big leagues for old pro Brad Penny. He’s back with the team he started his major league career with all the way back in 2000. Penny is clearly not going to be a savior for the Marlins. He’s not the pitcher he once was, and for the most part guys don’t suddenly get better as they get older. But Penny has been throwing it pretty well on the farm, and he’s being rewarded with a chance to pitch big league ball once again.
This is not a unique scenario. I’ve seen this many times in the past, where a pitcher who most everyone assumed had simply retired, suddenly resurfaces. Actually, while I can’t give any precise numbers, I think it’s fair to say that a decent percentage of these returns from the scrap heap have gone pretty well right at the outset. I would not be shocked if that’s the case here as well. I don’t think there’s much chance that Penny can do anything more than be a stopgap for a bit. But there’s just no question he’s going to be thrilled to be pitching in a game that counts, and the good news for Penny is that he’s facing a Reds lineup that hasn’t exactly been tearing the cover off the ball.
Alfredo Simon will throw for the home team, and he is in the midst of a substantial regression. Simon has been putting up mediocre grades for several starts now and I can tell you from the eye test he’s centering too many pitches of late and the hitters aren’t missing. Simon was one of the more remarkable first half stories in baseball, but it sure looks like reality has set in as the innings have piled up.
It’s also no longer hazardous to one’s wealth to take a chance on the Marlins when they’re wearing the road uniforms. This team was terrible for most of the season in away games, but of late they’ve picked it up with an 8-3 record in their last 11 as visitors. The offenses here are pretty close and there’s much separation as far as the bullpen data is concerned.
This is basically a one-shot play on Penny. I see him being very charged up for this appearance, and for what it’s worth, Penny has a rich history in this ballpark. Simon is fade material right now, and the price on the Marlins figures to be reasonably generous. As long as that’s the case, I’m going to give Penny and the Marlins a roll this evening.

Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros
1* Bonus Play on the Texas Rangers -163
The visiting Rangers are worth the price here with their best on the hill in Yu Darvish (10-6, 2.82), the right-hander held the Indians to one run over seven innings in his last start but didn’t factor into the decision. Note that Darvish is 4-2 with a 3.00 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in eight games started against the Astros lifetime. The Rangers are also 6-2 in games against the Astros when Darvish was the starter. The home side will start Scott Feldman (5-8, 4.13 ERA) who is coming off his best start of the season; Feldman limited Toronto to one run run in a complete game win on Sunday. Note though that Feldman is an unremarkable 1-1 with a pedestrian 4.07 ERA in four starts versus the Rangers over his career. Texas was unable to hold on a lead yesterday but I think can bounce back here, Darvish has put together three quality starts in a row and doesn’t seem fazed that his team is one of the worst this season. The Astros meanwhile do not have a home field advantage with a 27-33 mark this year, and that’s just what the doctor ordered for the visitors as Texas is 12-5 at Houston the last three seasons. Lay the modest price to get the better pitcher.

Chicago White Sox vs. Seattle Mariners
Bonus Play Under 7½ un-105
I'm playing Chicago and Seattle to finish UNDER the total.
In addition to this incredible August run that I'm on, I've also cashed Seattle each of the last two days as a Bonus Play. I don't necessarily like the Mariners as much today, but I do expect them to limit the White Sox scoring for a third consecutive game. That should lead to this game finishing Under the total.
The White Sox have scored just four runs so far against Seattle pitching. They scored just 1 run in the final two games of the Texas series. So this is a slumping lineup. The last four games against Seattle have seen them score a total of seven runs. I haven't seen any reason to expect any increase in scoring tonight. The Under is 6-2 the White Sox past 8 games after scoring 2 runs or less.
We haven't seen much this year from Seattle's James Paxton, but last Tuesday threw 4.2 innings and allowed just two runs. He has a 0.92 WHIP in his three starts, so it looks like another long night for the White Sox at the plate.
Though they exploded for 13 runs Thursday, Seattle scoring a ton of runs is far from guaranteed. Especially at home where they're hitting just .239 this year. The Mariners are 66-44-5 Under in all of their games this year, including 36-20-5 at Safeco Field.
White Sox starter Hector Noesi went seven innings his last start and allowed only one run, so he comes in fine form. 1* Bonus Play.

New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Free #MLB play Philadelphia Phillies -150
The Mets hung on for a 5-4 win last night, defeating the Phillies in the series opener at Citizens Bank Park. I like the home team's chances of evening the series tonight, when they send ace Cole Hamels to the mound.
Hamels (6-6, 2.42 ERA) allowed just one run on four hits over seven innings in a loss to the Nats his last time out. He has pitched very well the last few months, and he was 4-1 with a 1.94 ERA in July. Five of his six wins this season have come under the lights, and a night game in Philly looks like a favorable spot for the southpaw.
The Mets hand the ball to Dillon Gee, who has been terrible on the road. Gee (4-4, 3.73 ERA) surrendered a pair of runs on five hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Giants his last time out. He's now winless in his last four starts, and he's 2-2 with a 4.40 ERA in five starts on the road so far. He hasn't performed well in night games, going 1-4 with a 5.44 ERA in seven starts under the lights.
To say that the Phillies have owned Gee, would be putting it lightly. Ryan Howard is 9-for-20 with six home runs and 14 RBIs lifetime versus the right-hander, and Jimmy Rollins has hit .480 with a pair of homers and five RBIs in 25 at bats.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Chicago Cubs
Bonus Play Tampa Bay Rays -128
The Rays are off of a nice extra innings win against the Cubs Friday night. They’ll turn to prospect Jake Odorizzi to get them the victory in this one. Odorizzi came into the season with very high expectations. He didn’t put together many quality outings early on, but has since lived up to what we all though he’d do. He had a rough outing on Sunday, giving up 5 runs in the first inning against the hard hitting Angels. I won’t chalk this up to much, as prior to that outing he had a 2.25 ERA in his last 9 starts. Hitters batted .198 against him during that time period.
I can’t see Edwin Jackson lasting in the majors much longer, and certainly not as a starting pitcher. He already has 11 losses on the season behind a 5.66 ERA. Jackson is one of the worst pitchers in the majors right now, plain and simple. The Cubs will also be feeling the effect of that extra innings loss as they have to get up for an early start today. This sets up as a clear “down spot” for them.
Joe Maddon is one of the best managers in all of baseball. The way he approaches the game with his creativity is genius. He isn’t afraid to play an unorthodox style when the situation calls for it, even if it’s not technically “by the book.” Recently, Maddon has been focused on using the 9th hole in the order as virtually a second leadoff man. This strategy is designed to put two hitters back to back who have the best chance of getting on base. Obviously, this leads to more RISP for when the heart of the order comes up. Kevin Kiermaier has been this guy as of late, but we can trust that Maddon will use whoever has the best chance to give the Rays success. Batting practice for Tampa against the horrible Jackson in this one. Take the Rays.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Baltimore Orioles
1* Bonus Play St. Louis Cardinals -102
The Orioles won big at home on Friday night, chasing Justin Masterson from the game after just two innings. The Cardinals should be in better shape with John Lackey on the hill this afternoon.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Cardinals hand the ball John Lackey (12-7, 3.55 ERA) who did well in his debut game for St. Louis, defeating the Brewers in a 3-2 win where the veteran conceded two runs on seven hits over seven innings. He left Boston with his head held high as well, and is 3-1 with a 2.33 ERA in his last four starts. The Orioles will counter with right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez (3-8, 4.52 ERA) who's last game was over a month ago. He was then torched by the Red Sox surrendering four runs on five hits over just 3 2/3 innings. He has just recovered from a sprained ankle, and is only 1-6 with a 5.29 ERA over nine starts at home this season.
2. Hot on the road - The Cardinals may not have an overwhelming away record going 28-28. They have looked better recently though, and are 4-1 in their last five road games as a favorite.
3. X-factor - Jhonny Peralta is 9-for-26 lifetime versus Jimenez, and is 2-for-6 in his last two games.

NEWSLETTER NFL Preseason Prediction From Doc’s Sports
#281 Take Houston (+2) over Arizona (8:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 9)
The Bill O’Brien era gets underway in the desert late Saturday night when the Texans take on the Cardinals. Arizona came out of the gates hot last year in preseason but things are different this year with a second-year coach and well established players on both sides of the football. The same thing cannot be said for Houston as they were the worst team in the league in 2013 and they are in need of a culture change. Therefore I believe this game is more important to Houston and getting points in just icing on the cake.
