Sport: Major League Baseball
Game: Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox
The Play: Chicago White Sox -135.0
Play Description:
Star Value: 3* (30 Units)
Writeup: Right back to how things should be, 2-0 yesterday +22 units. Cleveland led the entire game and cashed with ease and the OVER in Colorado was handed to us early in the game. Time to glance at Tuesday's action...
At 8:10PM EST on Tuesday, the White Sox rise and shine in their own home as they host the divisional rival Detroit Tigers. Chicago comes in after a rest day and a rather shaky performance out in Kansas City along with a lot of chaotic brawling action.
Guillen and the Sox staff elect to put righty Gavin Floyd on the mound to face that explosive line up of the Tigers. Floyd comes in at a solid 11-5 overall with a WHIP of 1.21 and an ERA of 3.43. He's 1-1 his last three outings with a very attractive ERA of just 2.28 in over 19 innings. Gavin is a competitor. If you've ever watched this kid, he loves to win games and he gives it all each and every time out...not something all pitchers do in this league. Gavin simply has Detroit's number. He has faced this squad three times already this season winning each and every match up. Chicago has a slight edge in the heads up battle between these two at 7-5, but don't think these guys don't open up the newspaper every morning and see themselves right next to the Twins. It's a close knit battle for both teams, and both were never expected to be in the position they are now. From a roster standpoint, the White Sox are pretty healthy all the way around with the only injury being Joe Crede who is dealing with a back injury and is listed on the 15 day DL.
The Tigers come into this one and they should be a little scared...especially putting this guy on the mound. Nasty Nate Robertson has been nothing short of a go-off this season. He is incredibly streaky and that's not a good thing against a potent line up like Chicago's. Nate is a meager 6-8 on the year giving up over 165 hits in 127 innings and flaunting a weak ERA of 6.06. Even more eye catching, Robertson HAS A WHIP OF 2.56 AND AN ERA OF 14.29 IN HIS LAST THREE GAMES! This guy has been getting shelled left and right, and we truthfully expect that to carry over in Chicago. Another concern for Detroit comes after Nate finishes his show. The Tigers are without a reliever and a closer as Joel Zumaya is out with a sore shoulder and Todd Jones has been placed on the 15 day DL with tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. Detroit's available bullpen has an averaged ERA of 5.06 tonight, and a WHIP of 1.46 on the season.
Chicago comes out firing on all cylinders. These guys are in a big time hunt in this division and they are going to be a prime time money making team come the post season. We're not backing away from that Detroit offense here. Chicago is just as solid all the way around, and we're willing to put some cash on the line with the Sox Tuesday night. 10 units on the Chicago White Sox as they steam roll the Tigs at home.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
- The Tigers are 16-36 in Robertson's last 52 road starts.
- The Tigers are 2-7 in Robertson's last 9 starts versus the White Sox.
Chicago 8, Detroit 2

NYY vs. TEX
Sport: Major League Baseball
Game: New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers
The Play: New York Yankees -155.0
Play Description:
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
Writeup: Next, we're going to jump back on the Yankee train tonight as they play Game #2 of their set with Texas. The Rangers stole one late from New York last night in a shoot out and the Yankees come into this one looking for some revenge...and more importantly, playoff hopes.
Left hander Andy Pettitte will start for New York. Andy comes in at 12-8 on the season with an ERA higher than normal at 4.18. Despite his ERA, his games are commonly low scoring this year. Pettitte is 2-1 in his last three starts. The Yankees pen has been spectacular, even without closer Mariano Rivera as of late. They've got an ERA of just 2.75 in over 200 innings thrown. The Yankee line up is healthy for the most part and waiting to explode tonight.
Matt Harrison gets the ball for Texas. Matt has been a weak spot in this Texas rotation all season at 2-2 so far. His ERA is skyrocketing at 7.40 and his WHIP of 1.85 is a joke too. Harrison is 1-2 in his last three starts with an ERA up over 8.00 in just 14 short innings. The Rangers will be without all-star Milton Bradley tonight as he is listed as doubtful with a quadricep injury.
Neither pitcher has seen their opponent so far on the season, so this one is wide open. We realize the number is relatively high here, so a run line wager would not be a dumb play. HOWEVER, despite the high total on this one...we have a strange feeling it could come down to a run. We're going to go ahead and lay the chalk here with New York on the money line. The Yankees need to get things back on track, and it starts right here in Texas on Tuesday night. Let's lay 10 more units on Andy and the crew.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
- The Yankees are 21-7 in their last 28 meetings with Texas.
- The Yankees are 6-2 in Pettitte's last 8 starts versus Texas.
New York 10, Texas 4

BOS vs. KC
Sport: Major League Baseball
Game: Boston Red Sox vs. Kansas City Royals
The Play: Under 8.5
Play Description:
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
Writeup: Our next release takes place in Kansas City at 8:10PM EST. The Red Sox return to the home of the Royals where they lost as big favorites last night, and really struggled to get anything going. We're confident Boston wins this one, but with the inconsistency of these guys on the road lately...we're looking deeper into the match up to pull something out.
Josh Beckett and Brian Bannister are the scheduled starters for tonight's game. Both have been par at best all season long, but both were touted as possible aces for each respective squad in the preseason. Combined, these two have gone UNDER the total 21 times this season, and four of the last six times out too. Boston and KC both have respectable bullpens, and the available heavers are fully capable of keeping games in line and holding on to a lead. These teams have met five times already this season, and the total has a catchy trend of staying UNDER the quoted total four of those games.
With the above being said, something here has to give. This one seems a little high, so we want to throw 10 units on it and put it to the test. Look for a hard fought battle by both sides, with one team squeaking out the win in the late innings.
TRENDS OF THE GAME:
- The UNDER is 11-2 in the Royals last 13 overall.
- The UNDER is 4-1 in the Red Sox and Royals last five meetings.
Boston 4, Kansas City 2

LAD vs. STL
Sport: Major League Baseball
Game: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals
The Play: Under 8.0
Play Description:
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)
Writeup: There is another attractive total on the board tonight. This one comes to us from the NL where the Cardinals host the Dodgers in St. Louis. First of all, LA loves to play some defense, keeping their match ups under the total 63 times already this season. The Cards, likewise, have done so 53 times.
This is a show for the ages. Two very, very solid pitchers are scheduled to start and we could see both go deep. We bet against Chris Carpenter of the Cardinals last week and he bit us in the butt. He's recouped better than expected from his injuries and really seems to have recovered nicely. Chris will start for St. Louis tonight, and right hander Chad Billingsley for LA.
Chad has thrown 21 games this year. 15 of those games have stayed UNDER the total number. His ERA is impressive at 3.05 and Carpenter comes in at 2.25. This isn't going to be some slugfest like in Texas tonight. The Dodgers bullpen has a combined ERA of 2.92 all season long-one of the best in the majors. STL's isn't that bad either at just over three and a half. These two squads have met up three times this year, each and every game staying wayyyyy under the total with scores like 4-0, 4-3, and 2-1. Nothing changes here...let the trend continue. LA has gone UNDER eight of their last ten heading into tonight's game.
Vegas thinks their adjusting to the trend by setting this line at 8, but it should be lower. This one will be a star-studded event as both pitchers shine. Expect a one or two run game with a late long ball to decide the winner here. We're laying 10 units on this UNDER as well.
TREND OF THE GAME:
- The UNDER is 4-0 in the Dodgers and Cardinals last four meetings.
