Play: Boston (ML -140)
Line Source: STATIONS
Posted on: April 9, 2011 @ 9:25:13 AM EDT

The Red Sox were in danger of dropping to 0-7 on the season yesterday afternoon, but they battled and battled and earned their first win of the season. They have demonstrated the ability to carry the momentum of a come-from-behind win into their next game and thus, we’re on them here. Boston is a reliable 32-6 as a home 140+ favorite during the day when they are off a win in which they came back from a deficit. IN addition, the Red Sox have a tradition of doing well in this spot, as they are 62-20 as a 140+ favorite after a win in which they had 12+ hits and it is not the first game of a series and 45-11 since as a home 140+ favorite after a win in which they used 5+ pitchers.
The Red Sox have a lot of ground to make up in the AL East. They have capitalized on such opportunities in the past as they are a very nice 10-0 (+3.4 rpg) since April 20th 2010 as a home favorite of more than 110 vs a team with a better record (this is BOS004 from the 2011 MLB Handicapping Bible).
Complementing this one beautifully is the fact that the Yankees are 0-9 as an underdog vs a team that has a worse record.
Buchholz lost his first start 5-1 in Texas. He has been very reliable in this spot. Boston was a perfect 5-0 last season as a favorite with Buchholz when they scored fewer than two runs in his last start, winning by an average of 4.8 runs per game. In these five games, the opponent has scored a TOTAL of six runs.
We’re getting the much better starter and a team whose bats have finally come alive. Lay the price.

Take this one on the run-line, as we're getting a starter that is in a great spot and a home team whose bats have finally came alive.

The Padres are ahead of the Dodgers in the NL West and they are at home – yet they are the underdog. This is a motivating spot for the Padres. San Diego is a very profitable 81-80 as an underdog vs a team that has a worse record. Fitting in nicely here is the fact that the Dodgers are 1-9 as a favorite of less than 135 vs a team with a better record. In Moseley’s first start of the season, he pitched very well, but was the victim of Jamie Garcia’s complete game, 2-0 shutout. The Padres tend to “pick-up” their starter in the spot, as San Diego is a perfect 5-0 when they were shutout in their starter’s last start, scoring an average of 5.2 runs per game and winning by an average of 3.2 runs per game.
At this price, the Padres have the line value.

Posted on: April 9, 2011 @ 9:25:13 AM EDT

The Pirates are on a roll. They are 5-3 on the season and they are off a very nice come-from-behind win over the Rockies yesterday. Colorado scored three runs in the first inning, but the Pirates held them scoreless for the next thirteen and won 4-3 in the 14th inning. We almost released the Rockies yesterday and were regretting it after the first inning. It turns out we dodged a bullet. Whenever a bad team wins a close game that they usually lose, they can be very motivated. The Pirates are no exception. Pittsburgh is a spectacular 22-2 at home at night after a one-run win and it is not the first game of a series. So, the situation is simply that the Pirates are hosting a team they just beat by a single run and they are playing at night. That’s all. Check it out with this SDQL text:
team=Pirates and H and NGT and tp:margin=1 and SG>1 and 20040529<=date
Note that Pittsburgh was 6-0 in this spot last season. Note further that Charlie Morton was in this spot twice and he pitched gems; beating the Giants 2-0 and the Cubs 4-2. If we restrict the opponent to outside their division, the 22-2 team trend tightens to a perfect 16-0 in which the Pirates have won by multiple runs in each of the last 14 games. Remember, this is the Pirates we’re talking about. Wow.
This has been a TERRIBLE spot for the Rockies. Colorado is 13-52 at night on the road after a loss in which their opponent left 18+ men on base and 21-55 when playing a night game on the road when they are off a loss in which they had at least three times as many hits as runs.
After last night’s marathon win, the Pirates have all the momentum. They are the side on which to be.

Racing at Santa Anita with Marc Doche: Santa Anita Derby Minus Two Favorites

The two days leading up to the running of today’s 74th Grade I $1 million Santa Anita Derby provided the kind of news that everyone involved with the sport hates to hear. The scratches of injured favorites Premier Pegasus (ranked No. 2 on Horse Racing Nation’s 2011 Kentucky Derby Contenders list) and Jaycito (No. 16) illustrate how cruel this game can be sometimes, whether you’re the little guy looking to make a splash on the national scene, or the big fish that’s danced the dance many times.

However, the show goes on, and we’re left with a wide-open field of nine three-year-olds looking for success today to punch their ticket to the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May.

SPORTS WAGERS

ARIZONA –102 over Cincinnati

Bronson Arroyo is a 34-year-old that has thrown 200+ innings in six straight years and all that means is he’s a workhorse. His skills are limited so banking on this guy to have a good season is a big mistake. Arroyo is a fly-ball pitcher that has benefitted from nothing but a lot of good fortune over the years and as his strikeout rate continues to dip, his ERA will soar. Arroyo is eight pounds underweight this year due to a bout with mono. In his first start of the year against Milwaukee, Rickie Weeks hit a pair of rockets against him and Ryan Braun launched one into orbit yet Arroyo escaped with a win. This is a park that’s not going to be forgiving to him. Arroyo has pitched 14 innings at Chase Field over the past three years and over that span the D-Backs have gone yard on him four times while collecting 16 hits. This year, Arroyo is weaker and admittedly does not feel 100%. Daniel Hudson got an extended MLB look after his trade from Chicago to Arizona last year. His results were outstanding (2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) and his skills were near elite. Hudson had a nice season debut in Colorado, always a tough venue on pitchers, by going six full and allowing just six hits and three earned runs. The Reds were smoked here last night 13-2 and against Arroyo, the Snakes bats are likely to remain hot. Play: Arizona –102 (Risking 2.04 units to win 2).


HOUSTON +100 over Florida (first 5 innings)

Since the Astros pen is a wreck and this wager is based on the starting pitchers, we’re going to take the pens out of the equation. Javier Vazquez’s career is on a short leash. The Mets rocked him in his season opener to the tune of six hits and four runs in just 2.1 IP and he also walked five batters. That’s what happens to a guy who got a lot of attention last season for his reduced velocity. Vazquez’s confidence is shot after being booed out of New York, after a very shaky spring and after a horrible season debut. It’s also worth noting that the Marlins top two bats in the lineup, Hanley Ramirez and Mike Stanton are likely out with injuries. Ramirez left last night’s game and reports are that Stanton is still a couple of days away from returning. Bud Norris is a bit erratic but he has wicked stuff. If he can throw strikes he can dominate. Norris went 7-4 in 15 post-All Star Game starts with an xERA of 3.85. He has an excellent groundball profile and that makes him a lot more appealing than Vazquez. Everything hinges on Norris' control. While he did get shelled in his first outing, the good news was he gave up just one walk against seven strikeouts, induced 55% grounders and long term that is a formula for success. Play: Houston +100 in the first 5 innings (Risking 2 units).


Cleveland +109 over SEATTLE

The Indians have now won five in a row and are feeling great after sweeping the Red Sox and then coming into this difficult hitter’s park and racking up 17 hits and 12 runs. Justin Masterson is a really talented pitcher that is on the verge of opening some eyes. He’s coming off a solid opener in which he held the White Sox to seven hits and one ER in seven full innings. Masterson had an electric spring in which he struck out 23 batters in 21.2 frames. His spring ERA wasn’t great (5.40) but the reports are that he was working extensively on an outpitch to left-handed batters and if he found it, look out. The M’s packed the joint last night and came up snake eyes. They’re now 2-5 on the year and are batting a combined .226. Remember, this is a team that lost 101 games last year and has lost five in a row so they’re fragile to begin with and that losing bug is very contagious. Doug Fister was a bit of a surprise story last year but is any pitcher that has a good year in Seattle really that surprising? Fister is a soft-tosser with good control and a decent GB profile. However, his inability to strikeout batters limits the upside while also indicating that there is little margin for error. A slippage in GB% or in control could result in difficulty in sustaining a respectable ERA and he just hasn’t been pitching long enough to trust. Indians have the edge everywhere, especially in momentum and when you throw in the tag, they’re an easy call. Play: Cleveland +109 (Risking 2 units).


SPORTS WAGERS

ST. LOUIS +113 over Nashville

This wager is based solely on the fact that the Preds clinched a playoff spot last night with their 4-1 win over the Jackets. Much like the Kings, Bruins, Sharks, Vancouver and Detroit lost after clinching, there’s nothing to suggest that Nashville is going to be any different. These Western teams that have been log-jammed for weeks and weeks and playing their hearts out have to feel a great sense of relief after being rewarded with a playoff spot. Besides all that, the Blues are really playing well with points in seven of its last eight games. The Blue Notes are playing hard, they’re scoring goals and they’re playing to win. This is a tremendous situational play that should not be missed and frankly, there’s no reason whatsoever that the Preds should be favored on the road here. Play: St. Louis +113 (Risking 2 units).


New Jersey +174 over N.Y. RANGERS

12:30 PM EST. The Rangers are coming off a crucial 3-0 loss to the Thrashers and after Carolina beat the same Thrashers 6-1 last night, suddenly the Rangers are on the outside looking in. In order for the Blue Shirts to qualify for the playoffs, they need at least a point or a win and then pray that the Canes lose to Tampa. In other words, New York needs help and do not control their own destiny. Enter the Devils. New Jersey has not played for much this season but this is a game that will have their competitive juices flowing. They have a chance to eliminate their most hated rival and that alone makes them very appealing taking back a tag like this. The Rangers do not respond well to pressure and suffered the same fate a year ago when they needed a win to qualify for the playoffs and did not deliver. They ended up missing the playoffs by a single point. Also worth noting is that Henrik Lundqvist hasn’t been particularly sharp lately, with an .893 save percentage in his past four games while Marty Brodeur has a 1.75 goals-against average in 28 games since New Year’s day and hasn’t given up more than three goals in any of them. We have no idea who is going to win this game but we can assure you the Devils are going to give it their all. Frankly, this is a ridiculous line in the much-overplayed “must-win” situation. Big, big overlay. Play: New Jersey +174 (Risking 2 units).
