Service Plays Tuesday 8/10/10

[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
Vincente Padilla (5-3, 3.05 ERA), Los Angeles Dodgers
The right-hander pitched one of the true gems of the season in his last start, tossing a complete-game two-hitter in a 2-0 win over the NL West-leading Padres. Padilla also struck out nine against only two walks in the victory.
Since coming off the disabled list in June he has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, posting a 1.80 ERA.
"He's been great. The thing about him is that he's been so aggressive, going after the hitters. And his stuff had been quality," manager Joe Torre told the Associated Press. "He's very proud of his stuff.”

Slumping
Mike Pelfrey (10-6, 4.61 ERA), New York Mets
How bad have things been for the right-hander? Try giving up 10 runs in his past 10.1 innings, including five over just 4.2 innings in his most recent outing, an 8-3 loss to the Braves. In that loss, he struck out only one against two walks while giving up a pair of home runs.
"Every start has been the same way,” he told the Associated Press. “It's been frustrating the last six or seven starts, and that definitely continued tonight."

Returning
Stephen Strasburg (5-2, 2.32 ERA), Washington Nationals
Strasmas – the national holiday that occurs every five days when the 22-year-old phenom takes the mound – took a brief hiatus when the emerging ace went on the DL with shoulder stiffness on July 29.
But much to the delight of Nationals fans, baseball fans and smart bettors across the country, Strasburg wasn’t shut down for the balance of the season and will take the bump on Tuesday night against the Marlins.
In his only start against Florida this season, the hurler went six innings, allowing just four hits and no runs as he struck out seven and walked three.
"They didn't prove that they could hit my fastball,” Strasburg told the Associated Press, “so I wasn't going to throw any change-ups to possibly make a mistake.”

HOT LINES

Tuesday's Best MLB Bets

Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays (-125, 8)
Nobody hits right-handed pitching like the Toronto Blue Jays. The blue birds have hammered righties for an MLB-best 437 runs and are hitting a solid .260 against them.
But that’s not what makes them special. That’s the long ball.
The MLB leaders in home runs have hit a league-leading 148 round-trippers against right-handers – a staggering 44 more than any other team. The Blue Jays also have an MLB-best 199 doubles – twenty more than any other team.
"We're doing a good job offensively," Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista told the Associated Press. "We're coming up with big hits when we need them and solo shots here and there. That's been the recipe for success lately."
And who does Toronto face on Tuesday night? Try Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, who has yielded seven home runs in only 16 starts this season.
In Dice-K’s only career start north of the border, he yielded one home run in just six innings.

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays


Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox (-105, 9)

The Twins can’t be any happier to visit the Windy City. Minnesota is an AL-best 7-3 in its past 10 games overall and a staggering 17-5 in its past 22 games against the Pale Hose.
And the Twins are getting healthier.
Second baseman Orlando Hudson returned from the disabled list just in time to spark a five-run rally on Sunday against the Indians. Catcher Joe Mauer finally is healthy enough to start catching regularly behind the plate and opens up the chance to put more power in the lineup at DH.
"The players stay after it. We talk about staying on an even keel and putting good at-bats together,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told MLB.com. “When you have guys that can hit it out of the ballpark like a Jim Thome, that can jumpstart you in a heartbeat."
Meantime, Chicago struggled in a four-game series in Baltimore and desperately needs a spark to maintain its razor-thin lead in the AL Central. The White Sox have won six of 10 but subtract a 12-2 win over Detroit and the team is averaging only 3.2 runs per game over that span.
"It's a combination of good pitching and we're not hitting right now," manager Ozzie Guillen told the Associated Press. "Right now our bats are very silent."

Pick: Minnesota Twins

LADY LUCK

Tuesday’s Best WNBA Bets

Phoenix Mercury at Chicago Sky (-1.5, 184)
Bettors have to respect the type of consistency the Mercury have shown recently. Since starting the year off with a miserable 5-11 record, the defending champs are now beating the teams they should beat and losing to all the ones they’re expected to lose to.
Phoenix has only lost three games over its last 12 games; two of those came against the best team in the league, Seattle, and the other was against East-leading Indiana. Diana Taurasi and Company are also 6-2 against the spread over their last eight games.
Things aren’t going nearly as well for the Sky. Chicago is 0-5 over its last five games and just 1-3 ATS in its last four contests. Unless Sky star center Sylvia Fowles gets better support from her teammates, Phoenix will walk away with the road victory on Tuesday.

Pick: Phoenix Mercury

Seattle Storm at Atlanta Dream (-1, 166)
This is easily the marquee matchup of the night. The Storm are running away from the pack in the Western Conference but you have to wonder if complacency crept in last week when they fell to the lowly Lynx and Shock. Seattle is 2-0 since but is still just 3-5-1 against the number in its last nine games.
Atlanta hasn’t been playing its best basketball either. The Dream ended a four-game win streak with losses to Washington and Indiana. While the setback to Washington was a big disappointment, Atlanta still played a tight game at Indiana and nearly walked away with the W.
Expect forwards Iziane Marques and Angel McCoughtry to put up big numbers and help the Dream secure a big win over the league’s top team.

Pick: Atlanta Dream

BETTORS' TIPS AND NOTES

Bettors' Best Friend (BBF): Tuesday's Wagering Tips

Lines To Keep An Eye On
Marlins at Nationals: The Nats opened at -190 with many books but have since dropped to around -176 in many markets.
Twins at White Sox: The Pale Hose opened around -120 but are now listed as lows as -105 at some books.
Braves at Astros: The Astros opened at +115 but now can be found as high as +133 at some books.

Weather To Watch
Twins at White Sox: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.
Cardinals at Reds: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Who's Hot
Toronto is 7-2 in its past nine home games.
The under is 7-1-1 in the Rangers’ past nine home games.
The over is 7-0 in the Cardinals’ past seven games.

Who's Not
The Tigers have lost 20 of 26 games overall.
The Rockies have lost 22 of their past 26 against the Mets in New York.
The Pirates are 19-71 in their past 90 road games.

Key Stat
16-43: The record of the Nationals in their past 59 games following an off-day.
Injury That Shouldn't Be Overlooked
New York Yankees starter A.J. Burnett was pulled from his start on Sunday against the Red Sox because of stiffness in his back. Burnett, who is 9-9 with a 4.93 ERA, is slated to toe the rubber on Tuesday night, but be wary of a last-second scratch again. The right-hander says he is feeling much better and is ready to start, however manager Joe Girardi has left the door open for a last-second swap. If you are playing the Yankees in a parlay, be careful. "I'm pretty certain he'll make that start," Girardi told MLB.com. "My initial reaction would be, he wouldn't have gone on the field [Monday] if he was having issues."

Game Of The Day
New York Yankees at Texas Rangers (-133, 9.5)
Notable Quotable
"I try to do the best I can about trying to see my kids -- make sure I'm there for them, talk to them on the phone, Skype with them, video chat. I'm doing my best. It's a hard situation. In long run I want to take care of my kids and let them know I love them." – New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie told the New York Post about having eight kids with seven women in six states.

Tips and notes
Lindsay Whalen is straight ballin right now. The Minnesota Lynx guard is the reigning Western Conference Player of the Week after leading her team to a 2-1 record that featured a pair of overtime wins. Whalen averaged 21.3 points per game for the week, including going a sterling 23-of-24 at the free-throw line. Overall, Whalen ranks third in the WNBA in assists (5.7 apg), fourth in free throw accuracy (.908), and third in minutes (33.5 mpg). Next up for Minnesota? A trip to San Antonio, who the Lynx trail by only a half game for third place in the Western Conference. In her past five games against the Silver Stars, Whalen is averaging 13 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
It’s an early youth movement for the Oakland Athletics. You typically don’t see a team two games over .500 late in the year call up a lot of young players, but the A’s are going to rely on the organization’s youngest stars to try to make a late-season push toward the playoffs. First baseman Chris Carter and infielder Jeff Larish got the call-up from Triple-A Sacramento, but it’s Carter who will be counted on to add pop to the lineup. In Sacramento, Carter was hitting .262, along with 27 homers and 58 extra-base hits -- both of which rank fifth in all of the Minors. He also racked up 89 RBI while playing in 94 games at first base, five in right field and 15 in left -- where he played in 11 of his past 12.
The Orioles are….good? Well at least their pitching has been. The team has an incredible streak of seven straight quality starts, amassing a record of 6-1 over that span. Pitchers Jeremy Guthrie (6-11), Brian Matusz (4-11), and Jake Arrieta (3-3) have all looked great over that stretch. So will it continue? It actually should. The team plays the next six on the road but have to face the struggling Indians for three game before facing the light-hitting Rays over the weekend. By next week, Baltimore could easily be the hottest team in the Majors.
