Play: Cincinnati -105 (10*)
Comments: Cincinnati (Fogg) @ Washington (Bergmann)
In spite of the poor performances as a starter for the Reds this season Josh Fogg has had success in recent years versus the Nationals. In 3 starts at Washington since 2005 Fogg has posted an excellent 1.00 ERA. Fogg also had a stellar start earlier this season in his only outings versus Washington. The Washington starter Bergmann is a dismal 0-9 in his last 9 team starts versus a team with a less than .500 winning percentage. The Nationals are a money draining 9-26 in Game 2 of a series this season and 14-26 in night games at home in 2008. This is a Washington team that has virtually cleaned house with their veteran players and is a mere very good AAA team at this point. Play on the Cincinnati Reds as a 10* selection.

Event Time: 08:05 PM EST
Play: Toronto -120 (10*)
Comments: Toronto (Burnett) @ Texas (Feldman)
The Toronto starter Burnett enters the game in very good form off of his last 4 starts posting a 1.33 ERA and an almost 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Burnett is 4-0 in his last 4 team starts when installed as a favorite and Toronto as a team is 8-2 in the last 10 as a chalk. The Texas starter Feldman enters the game in poor form off of his last 3 starts posting a 8.04 ERA, a 1.72 WHIP, has walked 2 more than he has struck out, and allowed 5 home runs in just 15.2 innings. Feldman is just 2-6 in his home team starts in 2008 which hardly deems him as be a worthy favorite. Play on the Toronto Blue Jays as a 10* selection.

Play: Houston +115 (10*)
Comments: Mets (Santana) @ Houston (Oswalt)
In spite of the Houston starter Roy Oswalt having a below average year by his standards he still carries a ton of value with him as a home underdog. Oswalt is 49-18 in his last 67 team starts at home and in 3 home starts versus the Mets since 2005 has posted a stellar 2.61 ERA. Even with the dominating numbers the Mets Santana has posted in 2008 he is a dismal 1-5 in his last 6 team starts as a favorite of 1.50 or less. The Mets are a money burning 2-10 in their last 12 as a road favorite. The Astros are hitting a torrid .294 as a team at home this season versus left-handed pitching. Play on the Houston Astros as a 10* selection.
