Service Plays Saturday 7/23/11

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

Colorado Rockies Collide With Collmenter, Diamondbacks

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks (-148, 9)

The Arizona Diamondbacks entered this series as the only team in the National League West trailing the San Francisco Giants by a single-digit margin in the standings. The club hopes to keep that distinction in hosting the Colorado Rockies Saturday night at Chase Field with the first pitch scheduled for 5:10 (PT).

Colorado is in trouble and may need to place one of its rising stars on the 15-day disabled list. Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez left Thursday’s 9-6 home loss to the Braves after re-injuring his right wrist. He was instrumental in leading the team to its previous two victories, including a walk-off single Wednesday night.

The Rockies will now play nine games on the road against divisional opponents, entering this series with a losing 17-21 in such contests. In fact, Colorado has compiled a losing 88-95 record versus NL West foes over the last three campaigns.

Jason Hammel (5-9, 4.36) has fallen into quite a pattern heading into his 20th start of the season, as the club has alternated wins and losses in his last seven outings. The right-hander was handed a 7-4 home defeat against the Braves last time out, giving up six runs (four earned) and eight hits in five frames.

The 28-year-old has tallied an even 2-2 mark and 3.40 ERA in eight road efforts, surrendering just three home runs in 50 1/3 innings.

In eight career appearances (six starts) versus the Diamondbacks, Hammel has posted a winning 3-2 record and 2.95 ERA, including a perfect 2-0 mark and 1.47 ERA in four lifetime outings (two starts) at Chase Field. Despite those strong numbers against Arizona, bettors must be wary of the Rockies dropping his last six efforts within the division.

Arizona moved its record to seven games above .500 with a 4-0 shutout victory over the Milwaukee Brewers to capture a four-game split at Chase Field. The Diamondbacks are 4-3 to open the second-half of the season and in the midst of playing 18 of 22 games within the NL West.

Rookie Josh Collmenter (5-5, 2.65 ERA) is currently the scheduled starter for this contest and comes in off a dominating win at home versus the Brewers. He tossed eight shutout innings and scattered three hits while striking out seven and not issuing a single walk.

The right-hander has made two lifetime appearances versus the Rockies, including a disastrous start at Coors Field on May 24. He was lifted in the fifth inning and gave up five runs on five hits, including two home runs in a 12-4 defeat.

Collmenter may receive a break if Gonzalez is not in the lineup, as he’s 2-for-3 with a home run against him.

Total players will find that the ‘under’ is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in the desert, including two of the first three meetings at tonight’s venue.

Expect the roof to be closed at Chase Field for the entire weekend, as temperatures in the Phoenix area are expected to be in the triple-digits throughout.

Saturday's Streaking And Slumping Starting Pitchers

STREAKING

Jaime Garcia (9-4, 3.11 ERA), St. Louis Cardinals

Sure, he’s not Albert Pujols but Cardinals fans have to be pretty happy about St. Louis locking up this 25-year-old righty for the next four years.

Garcia signed a $27.5 million contract extension a little over a week ago and the payday doesn’t appear to be a distraction. The second year hurler is 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP (walks + hits per inning) over his last three starts.

The Cards are also 3-1 in his last four appearances and the under is 2-0 in his last two trips to the bump.

Jeff Niemann (4-4, 3.94 ERA), Tampa Bay Rays

With all the star power in the Rays rotation, it’s easy to forget about Niemann. He’s not workhorse like James Shields, the franchise face like David Price or the future ace like Jeremy Hellickson.

But that doesn’t mean bettors should ignore his talents. The lanky right-hander went eight innings, striking out 10 and holding the mighty Red Sox scoreless in his last start.

That lowered his ERA this month down to 0.84 in 21 1/3 innings of work. The Rays are 4-1 in his outings and the under is 3-0 in his last three starts.


SLUMPING

Wandy Rodriguez (6-6, 3.67 ERA), Houston Astros

The Astros ace is having a bad month. Rodriguez is carrying a 7.41 ERA and a 1.82 WHIP into Saturday’s start against the Cubs.

Houston is 0-3 in the lefty’s last three appearances and 1-4 in his last five trips to the mound.

Ted Lilly (6-10, 4.83 ERA), Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers have lost five of Lilly's last six starts. He gave up two homers in his last outing against Arizona and has now served up 21 dingers this season.

Over his last five starts covering 32 2/3 innings, Lilly has yielded 25 earned runs. Opponents are hitting .273 against him. Over the last six weeks, his ERA has risen from 3.98 to 4.83.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

HOT LINES

Saturday's Best MLB Bets

Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles (-105, 9.5)

It’s risky backing someone who lasted 1/3 of an inning in his last start, but Joel Pineiro should bounce back against the last-place Orioles. After all, he hadn’t lost since June 5 before last Sunday’s disaster in Oakland.

And the Angels are still 12-3 in Pineiro’s last 15 starts against losing teams.

This is more of a play against Baltimore’s Brad Bergesen. He made his first start since May 28 last Monday against Boston, and it wasn’t pretty. He gave up eight hits and six runs (four earned) in five innings.

It’s probably just a matter of time before Bergesen is demoted from the rotation again. The Orioles have lost his last seven starts at Camden Yards.

And we're getting good value with a far superior team.

PICK: Angels


Atlanta Braves at Cincinnati Reds (-120, 8.5)

The last time Derek Lowe faced Cincinnati, on May 28, the Reds pounded him for seven hits and five earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. Lowe also walked five batters.

And more recently, Lowe has been getting by on excessive run support. He’s 2-1 over his last three starts despite a 5.60 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. He’s allowed 23 hits in 17 2/3 innings.

Homer Bailey is coming off an impressive 7 1/3 innings in which he held St. Louis to one run on three hits.

The Reds are 17-5 in Bailey’s last 22 home starts.

PICK: Reds

CFL NEWS AND NOTES
CFL: Eskimos-Stampeders Betting Preview
By BetPhoenix

Edmonton Eskimos at Calgary Stampeders (-3.5, 55)

No one would have imagined that the game between the Calgary Stampeders vs. Edmonton Eskimos would feature an undefeated Edmonton team.

The Edmonton Eskimos tallied just seven wins last season, but how quickly things can change. Edmonton comes into this week's road clash with the Calgary Stampeders perfect through three games.

This is the first time since 2002 that Edmonton has started a year with three straight wins, and last season the team did not corral its third win until late September.

However, this will be the biggest test to date for the Eskimos when they meet the Stampeders in what is dubbed as the "Battle of Alberta".

While the Stamps have shown over the past couple years that they can be a highly-efficient team, the Esks are playing with some new life under first- year head coach Kavis Reed.

Edmonton is clicking on all cylinders right now, and come into this game ranked second in the CFL in scoring with 103 points, just six points behind Montreal. The defense has been just as impressive, surrendering just 55 points, which is also second-best in the league, trailing only Winnipeg (53).

Ricky Ray continued his solid play in Eskimos' recent victory over British Columbia, as the nine-year veteran completed 24-of-33 pass attempts for 320 yards and two scores.

Ray has been unstoppable this season and enters this game with more than 1,000 passing yards and six touchdowns against no interceptions. Ray's success can be attributed to the protection up front, and also to the array of talented pass catchers at his disposal.

One of those weapons is Fred Stamps, who hauled in one of Ray's touchdown passes and finished with 104 yards on seven receptions last week. Stamps leads the team with 17 receptions and 316 yards, but he is not the only target for Ray. Jason Barnes is also a threat, and he comes into this crucial matchup leading the Eskimos with 19.6 yards per reception.

Ray and company weren't the only ones having fun last time out, as the Edmonton defense also played a big role in the win. The Eskimos came away with two interceptions and kept consistent pressure on BC quarterback Travis Lulay.

Through three games the Eskimos have collected six interceptions, two falling into the hands of T.J. Hill.

Edmonton's ball-hawking ways could definitely come into play this weekend against a Calgary team that is led by quarterback Henry Burris, who has tossed four interceptions in the early stages of the 2011 season.

Burris and company have played some grueling games to start the year, as all three tilts have been decided by a combined five points. After a season- opening loss to Toronto in the final seconds of regulation, the Stamps avoided a late collapse against British Columbia, and then used a late touchdown to squeeze past Winnipeg last Thursday.

The touchdown came from the arm of Burris, as he found Ken-Yon Rambo for a five-yard hook-up. It was the only touchdown pass of the game for Burris, who finished with just 183 yards in completing a mere 53.1 percent of his passes.

Rambo, who is second on the team with 13 receptions, hauled in six balls in the victory, finishing the game with 68 yards.

The touchdown passes from Burris to Rambo might have won the game for Calgary, but it was the performance of the defense that kept the Stamps within striking distance.

In fact, the only other touchdown for Calgary in the contest was a 66-yard interception return by Keon Raymond. Raymond also played a role in setting up the game-winning score, as he recovered a fumble forced by Demetrice Morley and promptly scampered to the Winnipeg 31-yard line.

There is no love lost in this vicious rivalry which was dominated by the Stamps last season. Calgary won all three meetings between the two and it wasn't even close, as the Stamps outscored the Esks by a staggering 144-40 margin.

The Eskimos will get a huge measure of revenge in a huge win in this game to remain undefeated.

CANADIAN BACON

Saturday's Best CFL Bets

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts (-3.5, 46)

The absence of Cory Boyd will be felt and the Bombers' defense should also prevail against the powerless Argos offense.

Toronto head coach Jim Barker is about to lose patience with QB Cleo Lemon.

“Now he must show up and lead this team” Baker told reporters. “Is there a sense of urgency? Sure. We expect him to play better and at a higher level.”

The Bombers won the first showdown of this series earlier and another win would give them a two-game lead on their East Division rivals. The health of QB Buck Pierce must worry the Bombers fans but this is a game where the two worst offenses in the CFL are facing each other. Toronto averages 309.7 yards per game against 292.7 for the Bombers.

Winnipeg will take the win, whether Pierce plays or not.

PICK: Winnipeg Blue Blue Bombers


Edmonton Eskimos at Calgary Stampeders (-3.5, 55)

Believe it or not, the Eskimos are still unbeaten but the Stampeders are always tough to beat at home and their record against the Eskimos last season was impressive (3-0 straight up and against the spread).

Plus, the Stampeders are a better team than they've shown so far. Henry Burris still hasn't played a game where he fully displays his talent and that should be soon. The Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last five visits to Calgary, while the Stamps have covered the spread in six of their seven last games against the Eskimos.

PICK: Calgary

Saturday's Betting Tips: Rangers Thrive In Extreme Heat

Who’s Hot

MLB: The Yankees are an incredible 28-5 in day games, and host Oakland at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Injury That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Phillies closer Brad Lidge, sidelined all season with a rotator cuff strain, was activated Friday. He has 99 saves in three seasons in Philadelphia. Over Lidge’s eight-game minor league rehab stint, he posted a 3.52 ERA and struck out 10 in 7 2/3 innings.

Game Of The Day

St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates (115, 7.5)
The Cards' Jaime Garcia (9-4) faces the Bucs' Kevin Correia (11-7) in a key NL Central series.

Notable Quotable

"I think any deal within the NL East will carry some sort of premium -- not necessarily one that is prohibitive, but something more than if sent elsewhere.” – an NL East executive to ESPN.com, talking about trade possibilities for Mets All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran. The Phillies and Braves are among the interested teams.

Tips And Notes

On top of the scorcher in Arlington, Tex., Saturday temperatures will be in the 90s for five MLB games in outdoor stadiums. Here’s a look at gametime temperatures and each team’s four-year record in 90-plus degree heat.

San Diego at Philadelphia, 4:10 p.m. ET, 98 degrees: Phillies are 20-16, Padres are 9-13.

Atlanta at Cincinnati, 4:10 p.m. ET, 92 degrees: Braves are 29-21, Reds are 6-9.

Oakland at New York Yankees, 1:05 p.m. ET, 95 degrees: Yankees are 21-12, A’s are 13-20.

Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore, 7:05 p.m. ET, 97 degrees: Angels are 11-10, Orioles are 22-33.

Tampa Bay at Kansas City, 7:10 p.m. ET, 96 degrees: Royals are 23-27, Rays are 7-12.

There must be some good karma in Milwaukee; reliever Francisco Rodriguez says he doesn't mind not being the primary closer. "Somtimes you have to embrace your role and take care of what you have instead of worrying about what you don't have," K-Rod, traded by the Mets over the All-Star break, told MLB.com. With John Axford closing and Rodriguez pitching the 8th, the Brewers have the bullpen arms to win the crowded NL Central race.

The Cubs didn't make an error in Friday's 4-2 win over Houston, and that was newsworthy. They had made an error in their nine previous games, the team's longest-such streak since 1987. Another good sign for the Cubbies: Aramis Ramirez's hot bat. Since June 25, he has 13 homers and an .860 slugging percentage.
