Atlanta Braves at Houston Astros
Play: Houston Astros
The Astros are 10-0 at home after a loss in which they had 6 or fewer hits and had more than two team-left-on-base. Note that the Astros’ starting pitchers have produced a quality start every time and that they were the underdog in each of the last five games.

Bonus Play for Monday is the New York Yankees on the RUN LINE over the sliding Cleveland Indians.
The Indians have lost their last 4, and 9 of 10 overall. They are also just 3-8 their last 11 on the road, and versus the Yankees they are on a 3-13 slide.
New York has won all 3 meetings this year by 4 runs or more, and they have now won the last 5 meetings versus the Indians by 4 runs or better.
Carlos Carrasco will work against A.J. Burnett. Burnett's last 20 innings of work versus Cleveland show just 4 runs allowed and a 2-0 mark.
The Indians are simply going the wrong way, and I don't see them avoiding another ugly loss at Yankee Stadium tonight.
Yankees on the RUN LINE to deliver the win.

Play On: NY Mets w/Pelfrey vs Maholm
Note: The Mets and Pirates conclude their four game series when Mike Pelfrey takes the mound against Pat Maholm in Pittsburgh Monday evening. Pelfrey enters the contest with wins in four of his five career teams starts against the Bucs and wins in six of his last eight starts during the month of June. With Maholm 0-4 with a 10.05 ERA in his last four tries against the invaders, we'll back New York here tonight. We recommend a 1-unit play on the Mets. Thank you and good luck as always.
BIG AL COMP
At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Detroit Tigers. At this rate, the Rays may never want to return to Tampa the rest of the season. Tampa continues to play sub-par baseball at home, while going out on the road and hitting the tar out of the ball. The Rays started this road trip scoring five runs in three games in Seattle, but as soon as that series was over, they were up to their old road tricks again, sweeping the Angels in Anaheim while out-scoring them 14-5 in the three game series before flying all the way back to the east coast and taking two of three from the Orioles while scoring 16 runs in that series (with all of the runs coming in the last two games). Today they take their road show to Detroit and a date with the Tigers and lefty starter Phil Coke. Coke recently came off the DL from an ankle injury but unfortunately did not have a good return start when he faced the Rangers on June 8. Despite having the benefit of one of the more pitcher-friendly parks in the league, only three of Coke's 10 starts have been in Detroit, and he has yet to win a game there, going 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA compared to compiling a 1-4 record with a 3.38 ERA in nine games (seven starts) on the road. Tampa lost both games of a two-game set against Detroit in May but in 2010 it took six of seven meetings. Take the Rays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

On Monday the MLB Bonus Play is on the Cincinnati Reds. Game 911 at 10:10 eastern. The Reds fit a nice dog system that pertains to playing against teams like the Dodgers that are off a road dog win and scored 10 or more runs vs teams off a loss. The Reds have B. Arroyo on the mound and he has had success of late vs the Dodgers. In his last 3 starts he has beat the Dodgers every time and has allowed just 4 runs in 20 innings against them. The Dodgers counter with H. Kuroda and he has lost his last 4 starts. Look for the Reds to get game 1 of this series

Game: Stanley Cup Finals Game 6
Pick: 5* rated play on Vancouver ML +125
Jimmy is GIVING AWAY a 5* winner on game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals as a thank you to all of my customers for their support during the soon to be over hockey season! Vancouver was completely embarrassed in games 3 and 4 in Boston and that will provide a ton of motivation on top of the obvious motivation to win the Cup. Vancouver has shown they can win the close games in this series and there is very little chance that this game will be a blow out either way. Take the Canucks to parade the Cup around the ice in Boston tonight. Thank you to all my custmers this past hockey season.

MLB (915) LOS ANGELES ANGELS at (916) SEATTLE
Take: Under
Reason: The Angels are having a terrible June, now 2-8 after Sunday's loss to the Royals,9-0. The Angels offensive woes have been a big problem as they have scored just 22 runs in their last 10 games. In fact, the Angels have scored three runs or less in 21 of their last 35 games. Now they face of the of the best pitching staffs in the AL in the Mariners. Jason Vargas starts for the Mariners, he's 4-3 with a 3.94 ERA this year. Against the Angels, Vargas is 3-2 lifetime with a 1.86 ERA. Good news for the Angels is that they counter wtih Dan Haren. While Haren is just 5-4 on the season, he has an outstanding ERA of just 2.41. Haren has won just one of his last nine starts, but that is because of lack of run support to the tune of 12 total runs in 10 games. Low total here on Monday, but I don't see either team getting much. I wouldn't be surprised by a 1-0 final. Take the UNDER.
