Boston Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers
Detroit Tigers -125 at sia
15* on Detroit Tigers -125
The Tigers are the play at home tonight against the Boston Red Sox. The starting pitching match up here makes this a solid bet. Rick Porcello has been excellent for the Tigers, going 6-3 so far this season with a 3.48 ERA. In his last 3 starts, Porcello is 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Meanwhile, the Red Sox will have Daisuke Matsuzaka on the mound. Dice-K has been terrible since being activated from the DL, the Red Sox losing in his last 3 starts while he has posted a 9.82 ERA and a 2.36 WHIP. Boston is now just 12-16 on the road and the Tigers are 15-7 at home. Jump all over Detroit. -=

Arizona D-Backs vs Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers -114 at 5dimes20*
No-Brainer on LA Dodgers -114
I'll take the Dodgers over the D-Backs with a couple of very good pitchers on the mound. Both Dan Haren for Arizona and Randy Wolf for LA have been solid all season, the biggest difference being that the D-Backs are just 5-5 in Haren's 10 starts this year, while the Dodgers have notched 7 wins in Randy Wolf's 11 starts. The reason for this is pretty simple, the Dodgers have scored 5.5 runs per game this season, while the Diamondbacks are scoring only 4.2. What makes this the best bet of the day is that, as bad as the Arizona offense is, it is even worse against left-handed starters where they are hitting just .213 as a team and scoring only 3.1 runs per game. The D-Back's record against lefties so far this season is 5-10. Add another loss to that column tonight.
