Service Plays Tuesday 7/20/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

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

MLB NEWS AND NOTES
Tuesday’s Streaking And Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

David Bush (4-7, 4.07 ERA), Milwaukee Brewers

Bush’s numbers aren’t going to blow bettors away but here at Covers, we fully support the "Just Win Baby" philosophy of Al Davis, and Bush has done that. The former Blue Jays prospect is on a six-game, quality start streak.

He sports a 2.40 ERA during the hot run and the under has cashed in his last four outings.

Tommy Hunter (6-0, 2.39 ERA), Texas Rangers

This Texas righty is flying a bit under the radar these days with rotation members C.J. Wilson and Cliff Lee grabbing most of the headlines. Hunter has been dynamite since rejoining the big league club in early June.

The Rangers are 7-1 in his eight starts and he’s yet to allow more than three runs in an outing this season.

Slumping

Mike Leake (6-1, 3.53 ERA), Cincinnati Reds

Leake’s drop in production was an inevitable. The kid was pitching out of his mind for the first half of the season and you’ve got to figure that right arm of his is getting tired.

The Reds don’t agree with us. Leake pitched the longest outing of his career in his last start, going 8.1 innings. He was fantastic through the first eight innings but the Phils knocked him around for five runs in the ninth inning.

He’s delivered duds in four of his last six starts and he owns a bloated 6.14 ERA over the cold streak.

Returning

Dallas Braden (4-7, 3.83 ERA), Oakland Athletics

It seems like a long time ago that Dallas Braden threw that perfect gem. He was pretty average after the game of his career and made his way to the disabled list in the last week of June. He complained of soreness in his pitching elbow but we’re not sure if that played a role in his shaky minor league rehab start.

Braden pitched 4.0 innings, allowed three runs and was taken out of the park twice.

HOT LINES

Tuesday's Best MLB Bets

San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves (-165, 8)

It’s highly unlikely any analysts predicted these two teams would be leading their respective divisions at this point of the season. But here they are and both squads have discovered some offense recently.

The Braves have played to three straight overs while San Diego has cashed four in a row after averaging 8.8 runs per game during its streak. But make no mistake; the success of these clubs is a direct result of quality pitching.

“When you think about them, you think about their pitching. Their pitching is fantastic,” Derek Lowe said of the Padres’ staff which boasts the best ERA in baseball. “We're very confident in our starting pitching. It should be a great three-game pitchers' duel hopefully."

Under bettors just wet their pants. The starting pitchers in this matchup also strengthen Lowe’s prediction. There haven’t been more than eight runs scored in seven of Wade LeBlanc’s last eight starts and Jair Jurrjens has pitched two straight unders since returning from the disabled list.

The Friars are riding a four-game winning streak while Atlanta is 22-5 in its last 27 home games. So instead of trying to find a winner, the safest bet would be to take the under.

Pick: Under


Boston Red Sox at Oakland Athletics (-120, 8)

After five straight victories the A’s are back in AL West contention. And surprisingly, all of those wins came behind an offensive awakening.

Oakland has plated 40 runners during its streak and averaged just under seven runs per outing during a three-game sweep of the Royals.

"We did everything right in this series," said Kevin Kouzmanoff. "We're all feeling pretty good right now and we're all taking advantage of our opportunities."

The Red Sox offense has been depleted by injuries but the heart of the order consisting of Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz and Adrian Beltre can still carry a team. Production from Mike Cameron and Bill Hall has also supplied Boston with some extra pop.

All three games in a series between these teams earlier this season sailed over the posted total with an average of 13.3 runs per game and no fewer than 10. Going back to last season, seven straight overs have cashed between these clubs and 10 of the last 13.

Oakland Coliseum is known as a pitchers’ park but Mother Nature will be assisting over bettors Tuesday with wind projected to blow directly out to center field at 15 mph.

Pick: Over

LADY LUCK

Tuesday's Best WNBA Bets

Seattle Storm at San Antonio Silver Stars (+5.5, 152)

The Seattle Storm have kept their winning streak rolling, despite a couple close calls in their past two games.

Seattle, which has won nine games in a row, snuck out of Phoenix with a win in triple overtime win last week and escaped Minnesota with a two-point victory over the Lynx Saturday. The road weary Storm conclude this three-game away swing in San Antonio Tuesday.

"We can't be satisfied with the way we played tonight," Seattle forward Lauren Jackson told reporters after Saturday’s win. "We need to get better. We didn't panic, and that's a great thing."

Seattle failed to cover as a 5.5-point road favorite against Minnesota, dropping to 6-3-1 against the spread on the road this season. San Antonio is coming off a 10-point win over the Los Angeles Sparks this weekend, covering as a 7-point home fave and improving to 5-4 ATS inside the AT&T Center.

Expect the Storm to long for the West Coast in this final game of their road trip before heading home for the next three contests. The Silver Stars will catch them napping.

Pick: San Antonio Silver Stars


New York Liberty at Connecticut Sun (-6.5, 157.5)

The Sun scored a huge win over the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference this weekend, setting the tone for the second half of their season.

Connecticut knocked off the Atlanta Dream, 96-80, as 6-point home favorites – improving to 8-1 inside Mohegan Sun Arena (7-2 ATS). It was the first time the Sun have beaten the Dream in three meetings this season.

Connecticut got a big boost from its bench, totaling 29 points from the reserves, including 14 points from backup forward Sandrine Gruda.

"The bench gained the lead," reserve Renee Montgomery told the media. "That's not a surprise. There's very talented players coming off the bench."

The Sun have won three straight games over the Liberty at home and four of their last six meetings overall, posting a 3-2-1 ATS mark in that span.

Pick: Connecticut Sun

Blue Jays at Royals – The total for this game has jumped from an opener of 10 to 10.5 on most boards (check out the wind below).

He left Sunday's game after making a diving catch and landing awkwardly on his shoulder. X-rays came back negative on McCutchen, who is batting .289 with eight home runs and 30 RBIs this season. Jose Tabata started in center field Monday.

Games Of The Day

San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves (-165, 8)
Boston Red Sox at Oakland Athletics (-120, 8)

Notable Quotable

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry (Bird), called up Magic (Johnson) and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team. But things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."
-- Michael Jordan said about LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh joining forces on the Heat.

Tips And Notes

- The weather across the country has turned ominous and baseball total bettors should take note. Only two of the 15 games today could be played under the protection of a retractable roof. There is a 30 percent chance of rain or greater in eight games Tuesday and seven contests are projected to see double-digit wind gusts. Check out daily MLB weather here.

- It’s not football season yet but futures odds are already being hit by sharps. And if you a bettor who likes backing guarantees we’ve got one for you. Dolphins majority owner Steve Ross told reporters in June that he thinks his team, “will be playing in the Super Bowl" this season. Miami went 7-9 last year, missing the playoffs, and have a regular season win total of 8.5. The Dolphins are +2000 to win the AFC in 2010 and +4500 to win Super Bowl XLV.

- Tiger Woods experimented with a new putter and it lasted all of three tournament days. After switching to the Nike Method blade in hopes of attaining better control on the slow St. Andrews’ greens at the British Open, Woods didn’t get find the results he wanted. He needed 99 putts to get through the first three rounds of play and collected 10 three-putts in that span. On Sunday, Woods elected to go back with his Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter which had been in his bag since 1999. Tiger has been favored in every tournament he’s entered this season and hasn’t won one.
