Mighty split with the Dodgers and Nationals Thursday night.

Hondo

July 10, 2009

Hondo bounced back over the 300 mark yesterday when the Cards chugged past the Brewskis to elevate the earnings to 325 dotsons (who if playing today would be named Nissan).

Tonight, he'll give thanks to Danks if he sinks the Twinks -- 10 units on those darn Chisox.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS

FRIDAY, JULY 10

NATIONAL LEAGUE


L.A. Dodgers (54-31) at Milwaukee (44-41)


The Dodgers open a three-game set at Miller Park in Milwaukee with ace Chad Billingsley (9-4, 3.14 ERA) on the mound against the Brewers’ Braden Looper (7-4, 4.78).


Los Angeles’ brings baseball’s best record into Milwaukee as it makes the last stop on a nine-game road trip that has seen the team go 4-2 thus farafter crushing the Mets 11-2 on Thursday. The Dodgers carry into this contest positive streaks of 5-0 in series openers, 5-1 against right-handed starters and 4-1 on the road against teams with a winning record. Against the Brewers, Los Angeles holds a 35-17 advantage in the last 52 meetings.


Milwaukee fell 5-1 at home to the Cardinals on Thursday, dropping two of three to its division rivals. The Brewers are just 2-6 in their last eight overall and 6-14 in their last 20 against right-handed pitchers, but they are on positive runs of 16-7 in series openers and 44-19 at home against opponents with winning road marks.


Billingsley allowed three runs on four hits over eight innings Sunday in San Diego, but got a no-decision in the Dodgers’ 7-6, 13-inning victory. The right-hander has held the opposition to three earned runs or less in seven of his last eight starts and he’s gone at least six innings in nine of his last 10 outings.


Billingsley is 3-1 with a 2.92 ERA on the road this season, and he dominated the Brewers twice last season, going 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA as he allowed just four runs on eight hits over 14 innings. Los Angeles is 0-4 in Billingsley’s last four Friday starts but 5-2 in his last seven series-openers.


Looper is 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA in his last three outings and 4-1 in 10 starts at Miller Park this season, with the Brewers winning seven of those contests. On Saturday, the veteran right-hander gave up two runs on six hits in six innings of an 11-2 victory in Chicago as the Brewers improved to 3-0 in his last three outings. Looper has only one career start against the Dodgers, back in 2007 when he was with the Cardinals, and he allowed just one run on four hits in six innings of a 6-1 victory.


With Billingsley pitching, the Dodgers are on “over” runs of 6-1-1 in series openers and 4-1-1 on the road against winning teams. As a team, Los Angeles has topped the total in five of six overall, seven of eight on the highway and five of six on the road against right-handed starters. Also, the over is 4-1 in Looper’s last five starts overall and 7-1 in his last eight against winning teams, but as a team, Milwaukee is on “under” streaks of 10-2-1 on Fridays, 8-2 against the N.L. West and 6-1 against right-handed starters.


Finally, the “over’ has been the play four of the last five in this rivalry.


ATS ADVANTAGE: L.A. DODGERS




AMERICAN LEAGUE


N.Y. Yankees (51-34) at L.A. Angels (46-37)


The Yankees look to make it four straight wins when they send Joba Chamberlain (4-2, 4.04 ERA) to the hill to face Angels’ lefty Joe Saunders (8-5, 4.44) at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.


New York completed a three-game sweep in Minnesota Thursday with a 6-4 victory, running its road winning streak to eight. The Yankees are on further streaks of 36-17 overall, 50-24 as a favorite, 14-3 on Fridays, 10-2 following a win, 4-0 in series openers, 7-0 against southpaws and 10-4 against the A.L. West.


The Angels fell out of first place in the A.L. West when they dropped two of three this week to the Rangers in Anaheim. Still, L.A. is riding positive streaks of 17-8 overall, 19-7 as a home ‘dog, 4-1 on Friday and 4-0 in series openers. In this rivalry, the Angels are 5-1 in the last six meetings in Southern California, but the Yankees took two of three in New York earlier this season.


Chamberlain hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last 10 starts. On Sunday, he surrendered eight runs (but only three earned) just 3 2/3 innings at home, but his offense bailed him out with a 10-8 win over Toronto. With Chamberlain on the hill, New York is on runs of 6-1 overall, 4-1 on the road, 18-6 as a favorite and 4-0 against teams with winning records.


Chamberlain is 4-0 with a 2.74 ERA on the highway this season, and tonight marks his first career start against the Halos.


Saunders has struggled lately, going 1-1 with a whopping 8.40 ERA in his last three outings. He gave up six runs (five earned) in 5 1/3 innings on Sunday against Baltimore, but L.A. escaped with a 9-6 home win. That came after Saunders yielded eight runs on six hits in 3 2/3 innings in a 9-5 loss at Texas on June 30.


Saunders is 4-2 with a 3.43 ERA in nine home starts this year, and he’s 1-1 with a bloated 7.63 ERA in three career starts versus the Yankees. With Saunders on the mound, the Angels are on positive streaks of 55-25 overall, 4-0 at home, 23-11 against teams with a winning record, 11-4 on Friday and 8-3 against the A.L. East.


With Chamberlain dealing, the Yankees are on “over” runs of 4-1 overall and 4-1 as a favorite, and as a team, New York is also on “over” upticks of 5-1 overall, 4-1 against southpaws and 9-3-1 against the A.L. West. With Saunders pitching, Los Angeles is on “over” streaks of 7-0 overall, 4-0 at home, 4-0 against the A.L. East, 4-1 on Fridays and 4-1 as a ‘dog. Additionally, the Halos are riding “over” runs of 4-1 overall, 4-1-1 against the A.L. East, 6-2 in series openers, 10-4-2 on Fridays and 11-4-1 against right-handed pitching.


The over is 13-4 in the last 17 Yankees-Angels clashes and 10-3 in the last 13 battles in Anaheim.


ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER

WUNDERDOG RACE

MONMOUTH PARK Race #1 at 12:50 PM Eastern


Top pick: #1 (SIR HUGHES) - Has good speed, goes turf to dirt, and will be dropping to a career low in claiming price. $140,000 son of "Proud Citizen" draws the rail and it looks now or never. The top selection.
2nd pick: #3 (Smile Of Success) - Another who's taking a big drop ($30,000 down to $10K). He's run well and his last pair at this distance against tougher and brings a good closing kick to the contest. Tough opponent.
3rd pick: #2 (Mister Unitas) - Has no speed and on this course that's a big disavantage. He's put in a late run in his last pair and did so last out after breaking poorly. Goes third off a two-month break and his trainer (Jim Ryerson) adds blinkers for this.

Friday's winner ...


600♦ TAMPA BAY RAYS RUN LINE (Niemann over Mazzaro) - Off the series sweep of the Blue Jays – thanks to back-to-back walk-off wins - the Rays have now won 12 of their last 18 and are suddenly surging once again; and the defending American League champions should have absolutely no problem picking up more steam heading into the final weekend before the All-Star Game.

The Rays have to feel especially confident since yesterday’s win came against arguably the best-performing pitcher of the first half, Toronto’s Roy Halladay. And all due respect to Oakland’s scrappy rookie Vin Mazzaro, who made his MLB debut at the beginning of June, Tampa will be much more confident at the plate.

The last time the A’s and Rays met here was in May, and though they split the four-game set, the Rays welcomed Oakland to the series with a 13-4 rout in the opener. They also won the previous series-opener, in Oakland back in April, 8-2.

And since Mazzaro suffered his fourth loss in five games and strolls into this one with a 2-4 mark and 3.59 ERA after his first five weeks as a big-league hurler, I don’t think he stands a chance in this road starts. Not when he’s given up 12 earned runs in 17 innings of work over his last three starts.

Instead, I am counting on Tampa Bay hurler Jeff Niemann, who is back in the rotation after skipping a turn so Tampa Bay ace James Shields could make an extra start before the midsummer classic. Tonight the 26-year-old rookie makes his 16th start of the season - his first since June 29 in Toronto, where he beat Roy Halladay – and I think he’s going to catch the fire the Rays have ignited recently to produce one of his best starts of the campaign.

Oakland comes in mired in a 5-11 skid, and the Rays have won nine of Niemann's previous 10 starts. Tonight is his second career start against the A's after allowing three earned runs on eight hits in eight innings for his first win at Tropicana Field on May 18.

Lay the run line here, as the Rays win this by at least five runs tonight.

Kansas City Royals vs Boston Red Sox Boston Red Sox
-1½-115 at 5dimes
5* MLB Revenge Game of the Month on Boston -1.5 -115
After blowing a 4-0 lead to lose to a Royals team that is 10 games below .500 last night, you can expect Bean Town to bounce back in a big way. The Royals send Brian Bannister to the hill and he is 0-3 lifetime with an ERA of 8.22 and a WHIP of 1.696 when starting against Boston. Plus, the Royals are 0-7 in Bannister's last 7 Friday starts, and 0-4 in his last 4 starts during game 2 of a series. The Red Sox send southpaw Jon Lester to the mound. The Red Sox are 9-0 in Lester's last 9 starts as a home favorite of -201 or greater. Lester is also 11-0 against the money line when pitching against a team with a losing record in the second half of the season (according to games remaining) over the last 3 seasons with Boston winning these games by an average score of 7.4 to 2.9. Also, plays on all favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 (BOSTON) - below average hitting team (AVG <=.265) against a good starting pitcher (ERA <=4.20) -AL, in the second half of the season are 45-4 since 1997. I like Boston by at least two runs here so I'll take them on the run line to avoid paying the heavy juice.

Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros Houston Astros

3* Friday Night MLB Mound Mismatch on Astros -1.5 +114
Houston has a huge edge on the hill tonight. The Nats send Olsen to the rubber and they are only 1-5 in his road starts this season where he has posted an ERA of 6.68 and a WHIP of 1.871. The Astros send ace Roy Oswalt to the mound and he has been unhittable of late, going 2-0 with an ERA of 1.17 and a WHIP of 0.739 over his last 3 starts. Washington is 0-10 in road games vs. NL teams scoring 4.3 or less runs/game in the second half of the season (according to games remaining) over the last 2 seasons, losing these games by an average score of 1.9 to 4.1. Also, Oswalt is 38-5 against the money line vs. teams whose hitters strike out 7 or more times/game in the second half of the season in his career, with his team winning these games by an average score of 5.9 to 2.6. Bet the Astros behind Oswalt.
