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

Streaking and Slumping Pitchers

Streakers

Kevin Slowey, Minnesota Twins (10-5, 4.44)

Slowey is 2-0 in his last three starts wth a 1.83 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. He is coming off an eight-inning shutout performance against the Mariners. The righthander has allowed only 14 hits and four runs over 19 2/3 innings.

Wade Davis, Tampa Bay Rays (9-9, 4.21)

Just call Davis Mr. July. He went a perfect 4-0 in five starts during the month with a 2.11 ERA and 1.83 WHIP. In rattling off four straight wins, the righty has given up 22 hits and seven runs over 28 1/3 innings. Too bad he's going head-to-head with Slowey.

Chad Billingsley, Los Angeles Dodgers (9-5, 3.78)

Billingsley has a current streak of 21 2/3 scoreless innings, including 6 2/3 against the Giants in his last outing and six more against the hard-hitting Padres. The righthander is 2-0 in his last three starts with triple goose eggs for an ERA (0.00) during that span.


Slumping

Roy Oswalt, Philadelphia Philles (6-13, 3.53)

It's time for Oswalt to start earning his pay check in Philadelphia, where fans won't be very patient after his debut defeat with the Phillies. He allowed seven hits and four runs in six innings against against the Nationals. Oswalt is 0-3 in his last three starts with a 7.20 ERA.

Jake Arrietta, Baltimore Orioles (3-3 5.47)

Arrietta hasn't lasted more than 5 1/3 innings over his last three starts, a span in which he is 0-1 with a lofty 8.26 ERA. That's 13 runs and 13 walks in just 13 2/3 innings - unlucky numbers in more ways than one.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers (-139, 8.5)

With the possible exceptions of Seigfried & Roy, White Sox righthander Freddy Garcia may be the world's most famous Tiger tamer.

Garcia is 18-6 lifetime against Detroit with a 3.74 ERA, including an 8-3 mark at Comerica Park. He's also Mr. Sunshine, going 49-22 lifetime in daytime starts.

Garcia hasn't been at his best lately, earning his first win in three starts in his last outing against Seattle to improve to 10-4 on the year.

Garcia held the M's to three earned runs in six innings to bounce back from back-to-back subpar performances, proving the veteran knows how to battle.

"Why do I have to worry, man? I told you guys, if I have bad starts, that's in the past," Garcia said after beating the Mariners. "I have to do my job."

The Tigers counter with righty Max Scherzer (7-8), who has been hot for the past six weeks but has never defeated the White Sox.

Detroit is batting just .227 against righthanders over their last 10 games while the White Sox are hitting them at a .267 clip over the same span.

Pick: White Sox


Colorado Rockies at Pittsburgh Pirates (141, 8.5)

Rockies lefthander Jeff Francis was the model of efficiency in his last start against the Cubs but the big story was his team's 17-run explosion.

Lost in the lengthy box score was Francis' six-inning, two-run effort that required just 88 pitches. He is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA over his last three outings.

"I think it's as good as I've thrown," Francis said after throwing sevens scoreless innings against the Marlins on July 21. "I had a curveball that really hasn't shown up in the last month."

The Pirates send to the hill an unknown commodity in newcomer James McDonald, who has thrown only 2 2/3 innings this season before being traded from the Dodgers.

McDonald has spent most of the season in Triple-A, which is good news for the Rockies' hitters. They are hitting .317 against righties in their last 10 while the Bucs are batting just .191 against lefties.

Pick: Rockies

Lady Luck: Today's WNBA best bets

Connecticut Sun at Seattle Storm (-10, 154)

After dropping back-to-back games against Western Conference basement dwellers, it’s safe to say the Seattle Storm are looking ahead – way ahead – to the start of the postseason.

The Storm, who fell 72-71 to the Minnesota Lynx last weekend, were upset by the last-place Tulsa Shock Tuesday night. Seattle lost 84-71 as a 12.5-point road favorite, dropping its record against the spread to 14-10-2 on the year but just 2-4-1 ATS in the past seven contests.

"One thing I have learned in this league is that the hungrier team generally wins," Seattle head coach Brina Agler told the Seattle Times.

"We went a long stretch of being hungry. Now, for whatever reason, we have lost that."

One reason the Storm have lost their edge in recent games is the buffer between them and the rest of the Western Conference. Seattle exploded out of the gate and continued to dominate, building a 22-2 record before last Sunday’s loss to the Lynx.

The Storm have long clinched a spot in the playoffs and currently hold a nine-game lead over the second-place Phoenix Mercury, who are just 13-13 this season heading into Wednesday.

Seattle will be playing its third game in five days versus the Connecticut Sun and has many members nursing nagging injuries. The Sun have won eight of the past 10 meetings with the Storm, posting a 6-4 ATS mark in those games.

Bettors should expect another lackluster effort from the WNBA’s top team Thursday.

Pick: Connecticut

Thursday MLB pLAY- GC



On Thursday the Free MLB play is on the Phillies. Game 955 at 7:10 eastern. Roy Oswalt makes his second start tonight for the Philles. This ones in Florida to face a Marlins team that is a terrible 2-11 as a home dog in this range. The Phillies are 7-3 this year and 38-17 over the past few seasons as a road favorite in this range. Tonight they take on C. Volstad. Oswalt has a better overall road era at 2.97 then Volstad has at home. However Oswalt was the victim over very low run support in Houston. His won loss record has suffered as a result. Look for the Phillies to take the last game of this series tonight. On Thursday I have the NL Total of the Month. This game is backed with a 100% Totals system that averages 13 runs per game. I also have a 15-1 Power system play on the card. For the Bonus Play its the Phillies. BOL GC​

BETTORS TIPS AND NOTES
Bettors' Best Friend (BBF): Thursday's Wagering Tips

Lines To Keep An Eye On

White Sox at Tigers: Total opened at 9 but has slipped to 8.5 at most books.

Rockies at Pirates: Total opened at 9 and has fallen to 8.5 at most books.

Angels at Orioles: Total opened at 8.5 but has been bet up to 9 at most books.

Indians at Red Sox: Total opened at 9 but has slipped to 8 at most books.

Sun at Storm (WNBA): Total opened at 154 but has climbed to 154.5.

Weather To Watch

Rockies at Pirates: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Angels at Orioles: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Indians at Red Sox: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms, winds blowing out to dead center field at 11 mph.

Giants at Braves: 50 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Phillies at Marlins: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Who's Hot

Rays are 10-1 in their last 11.

Giants are 6-1 in their last seven.

White Sox are 7-2 in their last nine.

Who's Not

Pirates are 1-6 in their last seven.

Mariners are 1-7 in their last eight.

Dodgers are 1-6 in their last seven.

Key Stat

35 - Age of Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, who became the youngest member of the 600 home run club on Tuesday. A-Rod was 34 when he hit No. 599 but had a birthday while he was mired in a 51 at-bat homerless streak. Babe Ruth becomes the second youngest to reach the milestone at 36.

Injury That Shouldn't Be Overlooked

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Carlos Pena has been diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia ligament on the bottom of his right foot. Pena has been sidelined since Saturday with the ailment, for which the best treatment is rest. His ability to play coincides with how much pain Pena can take so it's possible he could return, but his effectiveness is another matter. The Rays could lose some power without a healthy Pena, who is batting just .212 but has 23 HRs and 68 RBIs.

Game Of The Day

SF Giants at Atlanta Braves (100, 7)

Notable Quotable

"It's been about three years now I've been getting asked the Brett Favre questions. It's kind of part of my life now. I actually might miss it."

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who has served as Favre's backup for the past two seasons, said about speculation that Fave will retire.

Tips And Notes

Don't write off the Ryan Howard-less Phillies just yet. Philadelphia acquired veteran first baseman Mike Sweeney from the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Sweeney, who was activated from the disabled list prior to the deal, is batting .263 with six home runs and 18 RBIs this season - not Howard-like numbers but decent enough until Howard returns from the 15-day DL. The All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard suffered an ankle sprain during Sunday's game.

The Chicago Cubs are inserting temperamental pitcher Carlos Zambrano back into their starting rotation. Zambrano will make the start in Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. It will be his first start since June 25, when he was suspended indefinitely by the team after a dugout blowup following a rough first inning against the cross-town White Sox. Zambrano was placed on the restricted list and returned five weeks later. He is having a dismal season, posting a 3-6 record with a 5.71 ERA.

Tiger Woods has won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational seven times over the past decade and it could be the tourney to turn his season around. He has more motivation than snapping his career-long winless skid. Tiger repeatedly said Wednesday that he wants to play his way onto the U.S. team for the Ryder Cup in Wales. He currently sits ninth on the Ryder Cup points list, one away from earning an automatic spot on the team. He has until next week's PGA Championship to move into the top eight but he refused to answer questions about whether he would accept an at-large bid from captain Corey Pavin.

Hondo

Hondo hit a bomb in Boston last night, scoring with the Tribe to negate losses with the Giants and 'Stros and reduce the deficit to 1,250 monges.

Today, he'll continue to ruff it with the Twins, Indi ans and Rangers -- 10 units apiece.
