Tampa Bay vs. Boston
How about the Rays laying the law down on the road yesterday as Lester gets roughed up at home despite being 11-1 at home. Over 54% of the public are on the favorite here, but that is from a small sample that I have. Anything below a 1000 I think is a small sample to take from. This is the only game going on in the country currently that is of betting interest considering college football, nfl and nba are not in the mix today. Of course, you could bet NHL but that is not my cup of team and WNBA is over. In fact, there has been many days like this this fall with the early part of the weak a bit barren with action. Of course, this changes when college basketball starts which I'm looking forward to a great deal. After losing the first game, Tampa Bay has stormed back the last 2 games. Sonnanstine and Wakefield take the hill for both of these respective teams today. Note, the line originally opened up at Boston -155 and has gone down to -145 while the value on the Rays opened up at +145 and has gone down to +135. This indicates money coming in on the Rays to a decent amount to drop the value on them by a dime. The total has remained steady at 9. The last time Sonnanstine was at Boston, he went 7 innings and gave up just 4 hits and 1 run in a game the Rays won 2-1. Sonnanstine picked up a no-decision in that ballgame. Andy then pitched against Boston at home and once again picked up a no decision as he went 6 innings and gave up 3 hits and 1 run. The Rays won that game 2-1 as Sonnanstine cashed as a +203 dog and a +134 dog both times. He now sits as a road dog of +135 now. Why is this significnat? Well, Sonnanstine was seen as a +203 dog on the road last time in Boston and how fortunes have changed as the price he was given as a home dog at _135 a few weeks ago is the price he is given now as the road dog. This just goes to show how far the Rays have come. Of course, Boston looks to come back fired up for this game and to bounce-back from yesterday's humiliating and frustrating loss. Yet, Sonnanstine continues to have success against this team. Wakefield didn't give up a run to the Yankees at home in 5 inns last time, but note that he has not pitched back to back quality starts in quite some time. He has continued to struggle with this ERA and the Rays shelled him for 6 runs in just over 2 inns in Tampa last time. Frankly, if you are looking for vaule the Rays are not bad here, but given that this is the only game on the board to bet today, it is a crap shoot. I can easily seen this game as a 4-5 type of ballgame. I can also see the Rays winning and given the value they are solid here as they have the better pitcher. In the same token, Boston knows this is a must win and of course, Wake is on a bounce-back from his previous rough loss on the road at Tampa Bay. Those are the facts and the write-ups I have in this game. No play for me, but hope you find this helpful as best of luck on what you decide. gl.

Scott Rickenbach's TOP PLAY Tuesday! 6-0 (100%) RUN! Teaser: Scott's Top Plays are on a PERFECT 6-0 (100%) run in All Sports after his Double Play (Montreal) cashed in on Monday! This is Scott's second top play of the NHL season as another situation has been set up as a MISMATCH and is offering fantastic LINE VALUE! Year in and year out, Scott is a documented NHL leader! MUST WIN or you will NOT be charged! Selection: 2* (Top Play) Minnesota Wild Money Line (-) @ Atlanta @ 7:05 PM ET – This is a classic case of getting fantastic line value by taking the far superior team on the road and in a good scheduling situation. Even though the Wild are on the road for this one, Minnesota earned more points away from home last season than the Thrashers earned in their home games last season. Atlanta needs much more than home ice edge to be successful in the NHL as this team is arguably the worst team in the league entering this season. While Kari Lehtonen is a respectable goaltender, the Thrashers defense is among the worst in the NHL. No team allowed more shots on goal last season than Atlanta did. Already this season the Thrashers have allowed 82 shots on goal in their first two games. The only reason that Atlanta is 1-0-1 on the season is because they faced a Capitals team that had lost two netminders from last season and then the Thrashers faced a Florida team that could be battling th e Thrashers to stay out of the Southeast Division cellar this season! Now, Atlanta leaves the relative comfort of playing divisional rivals and they step up and face a strong Western Conference team that was in the playoffs last season. Minnesota is known for their defensive-first philosophy as well as solid netminding. Even though the Wild are without a couple of defensemen for tonight’s game they still are much stronger on the blue-line than the Thrashers are entering this match-up. Other keys to tonight’s game include the fact that the Wild know that getting off to a quick start in past seasons is what has helped them to make the postseason in recent seasons. Slow starts seem to leave them just short in the end while quick starts lead to “hanging on” for a post-season berth come April. Coach Jacques Lemaire has his team ready for this road trip to the southeast and the Wild are fully focused on having a strong road trip to add points to the two that they picked up with Saturday’s win over the Bruins. What was encouraging about that game is that Minnesota responded after a slow start and, note that they did lead that game 4 to 1 before letting up some in the third period. That said you can’t put too much w eight into the fact that the Bruins outshot the Wild by a healthy margin in that game. Minnesota simply forced Boston into “catch-up mode” after the Wild dominated early in the second period. In their first game of the season, the Wild got key offensive contributions from the players they added in the offseason and that is a big boost for this team. The defense and netminding abilities of the Wild has never really been in question. The questions have bean about the offense and it was good to see the new Wild players creating scoring chances in their first game of the season. Now, they’ll get to showcase those skills against one of the worst defenses in the league and the result should be a road rout! Minnesota had dominated the Thrashers in their series history but then lost a tough game in a shootout in Atlanta last March. They get revenge for that rare loss to the Thrashers tonight! Play Minnesota on the money line as a Top Play selection.
Scott Rickenbach's ALCS Game Four! 6-0 (100%) run! Teaser: Scott is now a PERFECT 6-0 (100%) in the Championship Series round as his AMAZING MLB run continues! Scott was red hot all summer and he has carried that run into the postseason. Did you enjoy the Phillies at +165 yesterday? Scott's 23-7 (77%) run on MLB sides continues Tuesday! Rays or Red Sox? Click-n-Win AGAIN! You MUST WIN or you will NOT be charged! Selection: 1* (regular play) Boston Red Sox Money Line (-) vs Tampa Bay @ 8:07 PM ET – Wakefield vs Sonnanstine – As followers know, much of the money we’ve made this MLB season has come from totals and dogs. However, when we step out on a favorite, more often than not, it has proven to be justified. In other words, the Red Sox are well worth the price here and, in this case, it’s really not a big price. Boston is sitting in the 140 to 145 range and this is a great value considering they are at home and have a definite advantage in terms of pitching experience on the mound tonight. Tim Wakefield, the Boston knuckler, is no stranger to playoff pressure, and don’t be fooled by his overall poor numbers against the Red Sox this season. Wakefield’s numbers were greatly impacted by one bad start he had against the Rays and that came at Tropicana Field. Note that Wakefield was 7-4 at home this season with a 3.10 ERA and he held opponents to just a .206 batting average at home. Also, Wakefield has enjoyed plenty of success against the Rays through the years and we feel his knuckler is the perfect antidote to the young Rays sticks that have been hot in the last two games! Andy Sonnanstine gets the start for Tampa Bay tonight in Game Four at Fenway Park. Although the Rays right-hander enjoyed some success this season against the Red Sox, he also has given up too many homers in his recent road starts. He was able to stay away from the long ball in his start at Fenway last month but in his other four road starts since mid-August he’s allowed seven homers! The Red Sox offense is capable of jumping on Sonnanstine as he doesn’t have overpowering stuff. One of the mistakes the Red Sox lineup has made in recent match-ups with him is trying to be too patient and then, as a result, falling behind in the count. The Sox are well aware of this and, especially after getting trounced yesterday, look for them to be very aggressive against Sonnanstine in this match-up and that should be a recipe for success. Even though the Rays right-hander had two solid starts against the Red Sox late this season, he still has a 5.40 ERA in six career starts against Boston a nd that shows just how badly the Red Sox can rough up Sonnanstine when they are in “attack mode” and that is the approach we expect to see at the plate tonight. Keep in mind that crazy games like yesterday can happen but, in the regular season, the Red Sox hit .292 at home and went 56-25 while the Rays were below .500 on the road and their .248 batting average on the road made them one of the weakest hitting teams in the league when on the road. Red Sox bounce back at home at a value price! Play Boston on the money line as a regular selection.
