20* No Doubt Rout on LA Dodgers -1.5 +105
Back the Dodgers on the runline as they dominate in almost every aspect of this game. Clayton Kershaw has really come into his own for LA this season, posting a 7-5 record with a 3.16 ERA. He's also sporting a 1.85 ERA in 9 home starts and is 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in his last three starts. The Dodgers are also hitting at an impressive clip as of late, scoring 5.4 runs per game and batting near .280 as a team. The Astros have been hitting uncharacteristically well over the past week, but this is a spot where Kershaw will shut them down and the Dodgers will turn their offense on high.
15* on Twins/Rangers UNDER 10
This game is similar to yesterday's game where the odds makers are giving these two teams too much credit on offense. Looking at Scott Baker's numbers, you might think this is a case where the Rangers will put up a lot of runs. Baker is only 7-7 on the season with a 5.42 ERA. What I do like, however, is that he doesn't put a lot of guys on base, as shown by his 1.21 WHIP for the season. That tells us that he's been more unlucky than bad, and he should keep the Rangers within reason. Texas starter, Scott Feldman should hold his own as well. In 15 starts for the Rangers, Feldman is 8-2 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.10 WHIP, including 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA over his last 3 starts. Expect the under to cash again Saturday night.

300♦ CHICAGO WHITE SOX RUN LINE (LIST Buehrle over Bergesen) - Like I told you about this team yesterday, it’s looking to make a run at the AL Central and knows there’s a good chance at getting within a split-hair of first since Detroit is in the Bronx visiting the Yankees. After last night’s win for us, and the Tigers’ loss to New York, the South Siders are now sitting 2-1/2 back of first place. Got no problem laying a run line once again, which means I’ll once again have an auto-list of the pitchers, so I am banking on Mark Buehrle to out duel Brad Bergesen – no problem!
Let me start with Buehrle, who has been tremendous at U.S. Cellular Field this season, going 5-1 with a 2.98 ERA in 10 starts. The southpaw, who is 9-3 on the year, is 4-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 10 career starts against the Orioles.
Buehrle pitched an inning in the All-Star Game, so he was pushed back a day for extra recovery time. Remember yesterday I told you I was contemplating the pitching change to Johnny Danks, well, it was Buehrle who was supposed to start. Either way, it’s all good, because I won the game and will do so again. Buehrle comes in off what was arguably his worst start of the first half, so I am expecting the extreme opposite tonight.
As for Bergesen, this is a welcome pitching change, as the South Siders have been looking forward to facing this kid after an embarrassing loss on April 21. He won his major league debut against the White Sox by allowing three runs over 5-2/3 innings in a 10-3 victory. He’s an impressive pitcher, most of the Orioles’ young hurlers are; but the fact is, the right-hander is 0-2 with a 4.82 ERA in six road outings.
And with this one on the South Side, he’s going to have to face the likes of a red-hot Jim Thome, who has three home runs and 14 RBI in his last three games, including a grand slam and three-run shot in last night’s 12-8 victory, and a career-high seven RBI.
Chicago is 11-3 on Saturday this year, including 6-0 at home, and I’m betting this one will be a blowout.

5* O's/WSox under 9 (+105)
3* Angels -125, Rockies/Padres over 7.5 (-110)
Been following for about 2 months now (only 1 losing week) and he rarely has 5* plays. Think he's like 3-1 since I've followed and just dropped his last one so I'm expecting a bounce back today. I'll be maxing out on that under! :toast:
