15 Dime play on Philadelphia and Halladay - 1 1/2 Runs over Minnesota and Pavano. Obviolsly being a Run Line release, both schedulaed pitchers must start or this play is null and void. As I release this selecoion at 9 PM Pacific on Saturday evening, the Phillies Cardinals are around -105 here in Vegas and offshore on the Run Line.
5 Dime play on Toronto and Marcum over San Francisco and Sanchez. Again, both starters must go or this play would be voided. The Jays are currently a -140 chalk, which I think is a pretty cheap price.

Chuck O'Brien (paid for by me)SUNDAY'S WINNERS ... 40 Dime release on the L.A. Angels over the Chicago Cubs in interlelgue action. As I publish Sunday’s plays, the Angels are about a +110 underadog in this contest. NOTE: Specofy only Joe Saunders as the Angels’ starting pitcher.
Angels
BREAKDOWN: Absolutely I’ll take the plus money with the Angels, who are gunning for a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field, and the reasons are plenty. First and forlmost is the pitching matchup favors the Halos in a big way. Los Angeles lefty Joe Saunders is just 5-7 with a 4.70 ERA, but that’s very misleading because he’s been WAY better on the road this season (4-1, 2.45 ERA in six starts) than he has been at home (1-6, 6.75 ERA in eight starts). Take out his one road loss – a 17-8 blowout at Fenway Park, as he gave up seven runs in four innings – and Saunders has surrenadered just four earned runs in five other road games covering 36 1/3 innings. That’s a 0.99 ERA. … Today, Saunders opposes Carlos Zambrano, who has been a complete mess since Opening Day (when he allowed eight runs in 1 1/3 innings at Atlanta). He’s 2-5 with a 5.66 ERA overall, and the opposition is batting .292 against him. Since returning to the starting rotation at the beginning of June, Zambrano has allowed 11 runs (eight earned) in 15 1/3 innings, and the Cubs have lost two of the three games (including Tuesday’s 9-5 home loss to mediocre Oakland). And in Zambrano’s seven starts this year, Chicago is just 2-5.
If the pitching advaotage is not enough to jump on the Halos, these figures should be: The Angels have won 16 of 21 overall (including the first two games of this series), five straight on the road, 10 straight as an underdog, 11 of 12 as a road underdog, 47 of 67 against the National League and 22 of 28 in interleague road games. Meanwhile, the Cubs have now dipped below .500 at Wrigley Field, and they’ve lost 12 of 18 overall.

Game: New York Mets at New York Yankees (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 8.5 -115
This is a great primetime matchup for a pair of New York rivals. Johan Santana faces C.C. Sabathia. These are two pitchers both capable of putting up 0s deep into the game. Both of these teams are strong when you get to the back of the pen, avoiding the weak underbelly of the bullpen. The Mets are 7-0 to the UNDER in their last seven on the road vs. a team with a winning percentage greater than .600. The Yankees are 8-1 to the UNDER behind Sabathia at home vs. a winning team. The UNDER gets the call.

Matchup: Oakland at St Louis
Time: 2:15 PM EDT (Sun)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) CAHILL, T vs. (R) SUPPAN, J
Play: Oakland (ML +107)
Jeff Suppan had a mildly successful outing in his return to St. Louis, but I refuse to believe there's anything of substance left in the veteran righty. The A's have not been good lately, and have dropped four in a row heading into this series finale. But I really like what I'm seeing from Trevor Cahill. He came up short in his rookie campaign as his curve just wouldn't work, reducing him to basically a two-pitch starter. Now he's commanding all three of his best pitches and his status as a high-level prospect has gone back up. Cahill is the best starter on this staff right now and I like his chances of helping the A's salvage the finale of the series. Take the available dog odds with Oakland.

Time: 2:20 PM EDT (Sun)
Listed pitchers must go: (L) SAUNDERS, J vs. (R) ZAMBRANO, C
Play: L.A. Angels (ML +122)
Joe Saunders has been a money machine on the road for the Angels again this year. He's 4-1 in away games with a stellar 2.45 ERA, and it's not a fluke. Saunders is now an amazing 29-11 career in road games. The Halos lefty is also a day game stud racking up a lifetime 15-6 ledger under the sun. I'm basically on Saunders automatically as a road dog, so this one is house money for me. So is going against Cubs righty Carlos Zambrano. I'll admit that he's getting closer to what the Cubs are hoping to see from the Z-Man, but until he breaks through and wins something, taking any plus price against him is something I will continue to do. The Angels fit as a road dog trying for the sweep as well, so loots of good variables to support this selection. Take the price with LAA.

Brewers at Rockies
Pick: Brewers +140
The Milwaukee Brewers call on their left hand hurler Randy Wolf who had a bounce back win in his last start versus a tough Angel lineup after getting rocked in his last two starts really showing his confidence. In the last start he just surrendered two runs on three hits in seven solid innings of work. Colorado’s Aaron Cook has allowed fifteen runs in his last twenty six frames. Play: Milwaukee

On Sunday the Free MLB System play is on the Washington Nationals. Game 914 at 1:35 eastern. The Whitesox fit a negative system here that plays against certain road teams off a road favored win by 1 run if they scored 4 or less runs vs an opponent off a 1 run home dog loss that had 4 or less hits and 5 or more men left on base. These road teams are just 2-8 the past few years. Chicago is just 4-9 this year with a total of 9 to 9.5.. Look for Washington to put and end to their 5 game losing streak and the 5 game Chicago win streak. On Sunday I have a 5* 100% MLB System Blowout that wins by 4.2 rpg + Big totals system that has cashed 14 of 15 times in today's system. We split out on Saturday,however we did cash the big night road warrior system side. For the Bonus Play on Sunday take the Washington Nationals. BOL GC
