1 OF WUNDERDOG PLAYS

Game: San Diego at Los Angels Angels (3:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Los Angels Angels -1.5 runs +110 (runline)

Jared Weaver should keep the Padres in check today. They can't score (4.0 runs per game) and he has allowed just seven runs in 45 innings pitched at home. Weaver is also 4-0, lasting 7.4 innings per start and putting up a 1.21 ERA. Over the past two seasons, the Padres are just 5-15 to the run line in interleague play. When facing winning teams on the road over the past two seasons, San Diego is just 19-26 vs. the run line. Also, the Padres are just 9-22 on the road this year where they are allowing opposing teams to rack up 5.9 runs per game. With Weaver on the mound and given San Diego's road woes, I like the Angels to get another big win.

ORLANDO MAGIC


TONIGHT I THINK THE LAKERS WILL WIN THE GAME BUT 100% THEY WILL COVER THE 3. THE UNDERDOG IS NOW AN UNBELIVEABLE 8-1 ATS IN THIS SERIES. THE ROAD TEAM IS 7-2 ATS IN THIS SERIES. AND I HAVE A SYSTEM THAT IS 11-1 FOR THE 2009 NBA PLAYOFFS. THE PUBLIC IS HEAVILY ON ORLANDO, BUT THE LINE WHICH OPENED AT 4 GOT SMASHED DOWN TO 3. THE SHARP MONEY IS ON THE LAKERS AND SO AM I. IT IS JUST NOT MEANT TO BE FOR ORLANDO. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO DESTINY IS AGAINST THEM. WHETHER IT IS MISSING LAYUPS, FREE THROWS, DEFENSIVE LAPSES, MISSED WIDE OPEN THREE'S, DOUBLE DIGIT LEADS, THE LAKERS WILL BE YOUR 2009 CHAMPS. WHETHER IT ENDS TONIGHT OR TUESDAY IS A FOR GONE CONCLUSION. AS YOU HAVE SEEN KOBE IS NOT MICHAEL JORDAN BUT IT IS CLOSE. GASOL, FISHER, ARIZA, ODOM, BYNUM HAVE PLAYED WELL ENOUGH AND AT TIMES BRILLIANTLY. JACKSON HAS BEEN UN ZEN LIKE BUT GOOD ENOUGH TO NOTCH HIS 10TH CHAMPIONSHIP. VAN GUNDY'S GAMBLE WITH JAMEER NELSON HAS FAILED. HOWARD'S YOUTH, INEXPERIENCE AND LACK OF A FULL OFFENSIVE GAME HAS COST DEARLY. WHEN YOU LIVE BY THE 3, YOU DIE BY THE 3. NO TEAM HAS EVER WON A CHAMPIONSHIP BY DRAINING 3'S AND ORLANDO WILL NOT BE THE FIRST. IT IS KOBE'S FOURTH, IT IS FISHER'S FOURTH AND IT IS JACKSON'S 10TH. IF THEY DON'T CLOSE IT TONIGHT IT WILL HAPPEN ON TUESDAY, BUT REGUARDLESS TONIGHT IS A $5,000 DIME HIGH ROLLER COVER BETTING THE LAKERS +3.

Game: Oakland Athletics @ San Francisco Giants - Sunday June 14, 2009 4:05 pm
Pick: 4 unit(s) TOTAL: Under 7.5 (-110) (Play of the Day)



4 Unit Play. Take Under 7.5 between the Oakland A's @ San Francisco Giants (Sunday @ 4pm est). Maybe we can keep the perfection in June rolling into today as well as we look for a Golden week in baseball. Anderson if you remember in his last start gave up 5 runs in a little over 5 innings. The A's went on to lose that game 5-10 at home and Anderson looks to bounce-back today on the road against the Giants. Bear in mind that Anderson has had the propensity for some quality road starts as this is the young man that shutout the Whitesox and gave up 0 runs in 7 innings. That performance was stellar as to hold the Chisox to 0 runs in their place - in particular in a season where they have been able to hit many pitchers truly says a lot. And ofcourse, the young kid has a let down in the next game and gets hammered. But, I look for the Midland, Texas native to do well today and have a strong performance as he has yet to have back to back non-quality starts this year. And, you know that is something that I look for very closely - the propensity of a pitcher to avoid back to back non-quality starts. As per Cain, although the Giants won 9-4 in Arizona in his last start, Cain's era took a hike as it is now 2.55. The Alabama native is 6-0-1 in his last 7 starts and has put together 5 of 6 quality starts before his last non-quality start (despite picking up the W). I look for both pitchers to have decent outings today as this game likely dips Under. The Under is 7-0-1 when the A's are Underdogs, the Under is 7-1-1 when the Giants are favored and the Under is 4-0 when Reyburns is behind the plate.

Good luck,

IC

Detroit at PITTSBURGH (-115) By Karl Garrett, Featured Handicapper
The G-Man is on a 121-96-4 overall comp play run heading into Sunday's action.

Look for a high-scoring game today when Detroit and Pittsburgh have at it, as both Dontrelle Willis, and Russ Ohlendorf have been giving them up in bunches of late.

Yesterday's meeting between the teams played OVER the total, as there were 12 combined runs, and this one should see at least that many this afternoon at PNC Park.

Willis has allowed 15 runs over his last 12 innings, and for the year his road ERA is up over 8.

Ohlendorf has allowed 12 runs over his last 15 innings of work, and for the year his season ERA is near 5.

Have to believe with the numbers I just listed above, the hitters will once again have their way in the rubber game of this Detroit-Pittsburgh series.

Play the OVER.

3? OVER

Minnesota at CHI. CUBS (-135) By Drew Gordon, Featured Handicapper
Now on a 14-4 roll with the plays I'm giving away, including the Rockies over the Mariners 5-3 Saturday! For today's complimentary play, we're looking at the Minnesota/Chi. Cubs match-up.

Looking for the Cubs to stop the bleeding Sunday afternoon, as they face a depleted Twins club, with one hell of a strong edge on the mound. Its no secret Chicago has lost 4 straight, including 2 in a row to the Twins, but a match up against a road-weary Scott Baker is just what the doctor ordered.

I know full well the Twins' Baker pitched a nice game at McAfee Coliseum in his last start, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits over 8 innings Tuesday. However, one good start doesn't erase all the garbage I've seen from Baker on the road thus far this season, going 1-3 with a 6.56 ERA. Buyer beware, Baker has been anything but consistent, and that'll hold true this afternoon at Wrigley.

Herein lies the other problem for Baker, as he'll have very little room for error against the red-hot Ted Lilly, who's 2-0 with a miniscule 0.87 ERA over his L3 starts! That includes a real solid effort at the Astros Tuesday, tossing 6 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just 3 hits! Also, he's also been a beast at Wrigley, going 4-1 with a 1.29 ERA! Its no surprise the last Cubs win came with Lilly on the mound, and look for him to step up once again today.

Finally, the injuries to Cuddyer and Span have this Twins club in a tough spot, and that was apparent Saturday, collecting just 5 hits, albeit in a winning effort. Beating a blistering hot Lilly, sans two of their outfielders is going to be easier said than done this afternoon. In the end, this is the spot where the Cubs stop the bleeding, plain and simple.

Take the Chicago Cubs behind Lilly over Minnesota and Baker in this MLB match up.

Oakland (+145) at SAN FRANCISCO By Bobby Maxwell, Featured Handicapper
We're in Northern California for today's FREE winner as we grab the plus-money and play the A's in San Francisco against the Giants.

I know San Francisco's Matt Cain has been on fire this season at 8-1, 2.55 ERA, but we like the left Oakland is throwing out there today in Brett Anderson (3-6, 5.25 ERA). I know the numbers don't show it, but he's capable of shutting a team down and has the stuff to get it done tonight.

He's been up and down this season, seemingly delivering a gem the start after a horrible outing. On May 30 he gave up six runs in four innings at the Rangers and followed it up on June 4 by blanking the White Sox in Chicago for seven innings. Then on Tuesday he gave up five runs in 5.2 innings of a loss to the Twins and today look for him to deliver a gem. Plus he's done most of his good work on the road, holding the opposition to two earned runs or less in three of his last six roadies.

Matt Cain gave up four runs in 6.1 innings on Tuesday at Arizona and his offense bailed him out with a 9-4 win. Cain has struggled against the A's, giving up three runs or more in three of his last four starts against them and the A's have won four straight against the Giants with Cain on the hill.

Oakland is 8-4 in its last 12 and 4-2 in their last six as a 'dog. Meanwhile the Giants are just 12-26 against southpaws and 7-15 at home against left-handed starters, plus just 3-10 in interleague games against southpaws.

Play the lefty and the A's in this one.

N.Y. Mets (+110) at N.Y. YANKEES By Jeff Benton, Featured Handicapper
I'm now on a 7-1 roll with freebies -- including 5-0 the last five days -- after nailing the Astros over Arizona on Saturday. For Sunday’s Bonus Play, we’ll back the Mets at the Yankees in the finale of the Subway Series.

The Mets and Yankees have a lot of money tied up in pitchers Johan Santana and A.J. Burnett, but only one of those acquisitions has looked like a sound investment. While Santana (8-3, 2.39 ERA) has continued his stature as one of baseball’s best hurlers since leaving the Twins, Burnett has seemed a little overwhelmed by the bright lights of New York in his first season in the Bronx<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Burnett is a mediocre 4-3 with a 4.89 ERA in his first 12 starts with the Yankees, and is coming off his worst start of the season, when he allowed five runs (three earned) on five hits and five walks in 2 2/3 innings against the rival Red Sox. <o></o>
<o> </o>
Burnett is familiar with pitching against the Mets, too, from his seven years with the Marlins. However, he hasn’t fared too well against them, compiling a 2-6 record with a 3.83 ERA in 16 career starts. Santana, on the other hand, is 4-1 with a 3.15 ERA in seven career starts vs. the Bronx Bombers, including 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA at the old Yankee Stadium.<o></o>
<o> </o>
How those numbers translate to the new ballpark remains to be seen, but I can’t imagine the results are going to be very different. Go with Santana and the Mets, who choked away a win in Friday’s series opener but bounced back yesterday and rolled to a 6-2 victory behind journeyman right-hander Fernando Nieve (if the Yanks couldn’t hit Nieve, they’re not going to hit Santana!).

3? N.Y. METS (based on a 1? to 10? scale)

NY Mets (+105) at NY YANKEES By Michael Cannon, Featured Handicapper
Let’s take the Mets over the Yankees this afternoon as our Sunday free winner.<o></o>
<o> </o>
We’re getting a great price on Johan Santana, obviously because of the opponent and venue, but it’s still hard to pass up on a pitcher like him as a small dog.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Santana hasn’t dominated in his last few starts, but he’s still 2-1 in his last three outings. The left-hander has also had success against the Yankees in his career, going 4-1 with a 3.15 ERA in seven games.<o></o>
<o> </o>
The Yankees will counter with A. J. Burnett and you never really know what you’re going to get from the talented, but erratic, right-hander. <o></o>
<o> </o>
Burnett is 2-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 16 career games versus the Mets.<o></o>
<o> </o>
The Mets bounced back from that crazy loss on Friday night by pounding out 17 hits in last night’s 6-2 win. Look for more of the same this afternoon.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Take the Mets as they grab the win.

4? NY METS

N.Y. Mets (+110) at N.Y. YANKEES By Chris Jordan, Featured Handicapper
With ace left-hander Johan Santana (8-3, 2.39 ERA) toeing the slab against the Yankees in this series finale, I’ll side with the Mets today in the Bronx.<o></o>
<o> </o>
The Mets rebounded nicely after that shocking 9-8 loss when second baseman Luis Castillo dropped a driving pop-up in rightfield with two outs in the ninth, leading to the game-winning runs, and scored a 6-2 victory yesterday over the Bombers.<o></o>
<o> </o>
I look for the Subway Series victory today, as the Mets are 8-3 in their last 11 interleague contests, while the Bombers come in on losing streaks of 2-5 in interleague play and 2-8 against winning teams in interleague action.<o></o>
<o> </o>
The Mets have now taken five of eight Subway Series clashes since last season, going 4-1 in Yankee Stadium. After yesterday’s win, the visitor is on a 6-2 roll in this Big Apple rivalry.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Santana has been solid, posting a 4-1 mark in his last five starts, despite allowing a total of 17 runs in 33 innings (4.63 ERA); he’s lasted at least six innings in all five of those outings, while the Mets are 21-7 in his last 28 starts overall and 8-2 in his last 10 road outings. Santana is 4-1 with a 3.15 ERA in 10 career outings (seven starts) against the Yankees.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Take the Mets.
