Chicago White Sox vs Cleveland IndiansChicago White Sox
+100 at sia15* on Chicago White Sox +100
The combination of Carl Pavano and the Cleveland Indians' bullpen make the White Sox an easy play on Monday. Pavano has been lit-up in his last three starts, earning a 0-2 record with a 12.14 ERA and a 2.55 WHIP. Once Pavano heads to the bench, it doesn't get much better for the Indians. Their bullpen is one of the worst in baseball, sporting a 12-17 record overall with a 4.92 ERA and 13 blown saves in 26 attempts, just a 50% conversion rate. Chicago Starter, Gavin Floyd, is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in his last three starts, while the Chicago bullpen has a 3.80 ERA, 12-11 record, and 70% save conversion rate this year. The smart money is on the White Sox tonight.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue JaysTampa Bay Rays
+143 at bodog15* on Tampa Bay Rays +143
Grab the Rays at this price against the Blue Jays as Roy Halladay is coming off of the DL, not having pitched since 6/12. Halladay's pitch-count will likely be limited, which is a huge advantage for a Rays' team that has been hitting extremely well lately. The Rays have won 5 in a row and 6 of their last 7 overall, averaging 6.1 runs per game and sporting a team batting average of 3.20 over that span. The Blue Jays have dropped 2 straight games, and while Halladay has normally been their cure for a bad stretch, the smart move is to bet against him today in his first start back from a groin injury.

Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City RoyalsTotal
9 un+105 at bodog15* on Twins/Royals UNDER 9
Stick with the under in tonight's match up between the Twins and the Royals. Both teams come in struggling offensively. The Twins are posting just 4.2 runs per game on the road this season, while the Royals have managed to score just 3.3 runs per game over their last 7 contests overall. I also like how both pitchers have been throwing, particularly Nick Blackburn, who has a 3.11 ERA on the year and a 1.27 WHIP. His counterpart, Luke Hochevar, hasn't has as much luck with his ERA, though he has lowered it by posting a 4.05 ERA over his last 3 starts, but I do like the fact that he does not give up many hits or walks, accounting for a low, 1.28 WHIP. I expect baserunners to be few and far between tonight, setting this game up for an easy "under". -= TOP PLAY =- MLB | Jun 29 '09 (8:15p)
San Francisco Giants vs St. Louis CardinalsSan Francisco Giants
-125 at spbook20* No-Brainer on San Francisco Giants -125
Tim Lincecum has been as strong a starter as there is in the National League this year, earning a 2.57 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 7-2 record in 15 starts. The scary part for the rest of the league is that he continues to get better, racking up a 2-1 record, 1.38 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his last 3 starts. The Cardinals have dropped 5 of their last 7 overall, dropping their record at home to just 22-18 on the season. Over those last 7 games, the Cardinals are hitting just .217 as a team and scoring only 2.4 runs per game. Now they'll face one of the best pitchers in baseball in Lincecum, which certainly does not bode well for a team that is struggling to produce offensively. MLB | Jun 29 '09 (10:05p)
Houston Astros vs San Diego PadresSan Diego Padres
+135 at sia15* on San Diego Padres +135
I'm looking for the Padres to come through as a home underdog against the Houston Astros Monday night. San Diego starter, Josh Geer, doesn't have stand-out numbers this season, but his team has been successful behind him when he has thrown on his home field. Geer has 5 home starts this season with a 4.02 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He is just 1-0 in those starts, but the Padres are 4-1 as a team with him on the mound in San Diego. If Geer can just put together solid start and get the ball to the San Diego bullpen, he greatly increases their chances of getting a win. As a unit, the San Diego pen is 7-5 on the year with a 2.99 ERA and just 4 blown saves in 15 attempts at home this season

3-3 last night and Won 6.5 units!! I won my Play of the Day on Washington +122, and also hit with Seattle +171, and San Diego +132. That makes 3 straight weeks of winning since I started playing underdogs only, and this week will be no different. I had alot of tough luck last week losing a bunch of close games including Houstons blown save yesterday, and I have lost FIVE games the past TWO days by just 1 run yet I still ended up winning money! Betting favorites everyday will bury your bankroll but it is very hard to knockout an underdog player. VALUE is the only thing that matters when it comes to betting baseball. Lets start the new week off right tonight, a HUGE week is in store for us. Your winning card for Monday is below
5* Angels +122 **POD**
5* NY Mets +122
5* Baltimore +153
5* Tampa Bay +141
5* Colorado +103
5* San Diego +132
