BOB BALFE
Japan +280
Japan has a unique style of play that is very quick and can catch teams off guard. Paraguay is having a great World Cup, but I do not see them advancing. This game would be an upset on paper, but the Japan team is very capable of pulling it off. Look for a quick paced game with Japan coming out on top.
Portugal DRAW
Draws in this round mean that, after 90 minutes of play, the game is tied and teams go to extra time. It does not matter what happens after that. Both teams strengths and weaknesses are well documented and I expect somewhat of a chess match today. Look for a low-scoring game being won in extra time or maybe even a shootout. Take the Draw (+225).
Florida Marlins +113
Both pitchers are evenly matched with the home field advantage being with the Marlins. Last night, Florida cruised to a big win against a NY Met team who should start fading in the NL East. Expect similar results this evening. Take the Marlins at home.

EasyBaseballBetting
Went 2-1 yesterday, hitting Tigers at +148 and the Royals at +120 and now have 5 plays on tap.
Here are two of those picks, the other three can be purchased below.
Diamondbacks (+260) over Cardinals - We are going to take a little chance here with Dontrelle Willis. The +260 of the D'backs is just too big to pass up. First, the Cardinals are impressive in games 1s going 18-7, +7.6 units. The rest of the series, they are mediocre at best = 22-26, -15 units. So what we basically have here is a below 500 team that is super mondo favorites. They hit lefties a bit better than they do righties but after a win, they are -12 units whereas off a loss are +5 units. So something about this team causes them to lack the motivation to come back and win a second game in a row. This is going to be more important a game for Willis than it is for the Cardinals. With that said, +260 is pure value.
Pirates (+215) over Cubs - These Pirates are not a very good team on the season BUT a lot of their bad record has come from non-divisional rivalry games 8-19, -3.5 units and interleague games 2-13, -11 units. This is a total of 10-32, -14.5 units. In divisional rivalry games, these Pirates are 16-18, +6 units. They are a totally different team when playing rivals. This makes them super value as a +215 dog. Our program always tends to look for these dichotomies. A team that is undervalued perhaps because of a poor record but they have either a super strong home record, record vs lefties, divisional rivalry record, etc that justifies their odds to be much better than it should be. And then by betting those teams, you make money in the long run.

Minnesota Twins MINUS 125
Pick Write-Up
The Minnesota Twins lost to the Detroit Tigers on Monday and at the same time lost their lead in the American League Central that they have held since opening day. Francisco Liriano allowed nine hits and six runs while striking out six over six innings of work but it was the four runs in the first followed by the run in the second that were his undoing. The loss was the sixth for Liriano and the seventh in their last 10 games for the now second place Twins. Jim Thome hit his seventh home run of the season and Thome, Orlando Hudson, Joe Mauer, and Justin Morneau all had two hits each but Minnesota was never able to dig themselves out of the hole that Liriano got them in. The Twins look to get back in the driver's set as they send Nick Blackburn to the mound for the start. Blackburn hasn't won in his last five starts and has been pummeled in the four that resulted in losses and for the year he has allowed 111 hits and 54 earned runs while striking out 26 in 79 and two-thirds innings of work. Blackburn beat the Tigers earlier this season. The Detroit Tigers have been battling it out in the AL Central all season long and they have finally emerged all alone in first place. Detroit has won five of their last 10 and two in a row as they have a half of a game lead in the division. Jeremy Bonderman was gifted and early lead and then he allowed nine hits and four runs in five and a third innings of work to earn his fourth win and Jose Valverde pitched an inning and two thirds to get his 18th save of the year. Gerald Laird hit his second home run and Austin Jackson, Ramon Santiago, Ryan Raburn, Miguel Cabrera, and Danny Worth all had two hits to pace the attack. The Tigers look to build on their lead as they send Armando Galarraga to the mound for the start. For the season Galarraga has allowed 38 hits and 18 earned runs while striking out 16 in 44 innings of work. Galarraga hasn't lost since the the perfect game plus one game. Minnesota is 39-17 in their last 56 against the American League Central, 5-1 in Blackburn's last six starts as a home favorite, and 41-19 in their last 60 games as a favorite. Detroit is 1-4 in their last five road games against a right handed starter and 19-40 in their last 59 as a road underdog. Detroit is 29-65 in their last 94 games in Minnesota.

Jim Thome hit his seventh home run of the season and Thome, Orlando Hudson, Joe Mauer, and Justin Morneau all had two hits each but Minnesota was never able to dig themselves out of the hole that Liriano got them in. The Twins look to get back in the driver's set as they send Nick Blackburn to the mound for the start. Blackburn hasn't won in his last five starts and has been pummeled in the four that resulted in losses and for the year he has allowed 111 hits and 54 earned runs while striking out 26 in 79 and two-thirds innings of work. Blackburn beat the Tigers earlier this season. The Detroit Tigers have been battling it out in the AL Central all season long and they have finally emerged all alone in first place. Detroit has won five of their last 10 and two in a row as they have a half of a game lead in the division. Jeremy Bonderman was gifted and early lead and then he allowed nine hits and four runs in five and a third innings of work to earn his fourth win and Jose Valverde pitched an inning and two thirds to get his 18th save of the year. Gerald Laird hit his second home run and Austin Jackson, Ramon Santiago, Ryan Raburn, Miguel Cabrera, and Danny Worth all had two hits to pace the attack. The Tigers look to build on their lead as they send Armando Galarraga to the mound for the start. For the season Galarraga has allowed 38 hits and 18 earned runs while striking out 16 in 44 innings of work. Galarraga hasn't lost since the the perfect game plus one game. Minnesota is 39-17 in their last 56 against the American League Central, 5-1 in Blackburn's last six starts as a home favorite, and 41-19 in their last 60 games as a favorite. Detroit is 1-4 in their last five road games against a right handed starter and 19-40 in their last 59 as a road underdog. Detroit is 29-65 in their last 94 games in Minnesota.
