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

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

Roy Halladay (19-10, 2.49 ERA), Philadelphia Phillies

Halladay has won three straight and nine of his last 11, but hasn’t exactly been his untouchable self over the last little while. He has given up at least three runs in each of his last five starts while also serving up nine home runs. He is coming off a 10-5 win over Florida in which he gave up three runs on 10 hits over six innings while striking out nine.

Carlos Zambrano (9-6, 3.75 ERA), Chicago Cubs

Zambrano has been a completely different pitcher since returning to the Cubs after he attended anger-management treatment. He’s 6-0 over eight starts since Aug. 9 and has allowed only three runs over his last four outings. Zambrano has only allowed seven home runs this season.

Slumping


Philip Hughes (16-8, 4.31 ERA) New York Yankees

Hughes has dropped two of his last three starts and has allowed 10 runs over his last two starts. He dropped a 4-3 decision his last time out against Tampa Bay, giving up four runs and a pair of homers over six hits. He went 6 2/3 innings over 106 pitches.

Tuesday MLB Tips

The two races in the Eastern divisions continue to heat up in the final two weeks of the season. The Phillies have opened a slight advantage over the Braves in the NL East, but Atlanta is still in the driver's seat for the NL Wild Card. We'll start in the Bronx with a similar scenario between New York and Tampa Bay, as the gap in the division is razor-thin.

Rays at Yankees - 7:05 PM EST

Both these rivals will be playing October baseball, but the issue of who will potentially get home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs is still unsettled. The top two teams in the AL East continue their four-game set as this is the final series between these two clubs in the regular season.

Philip Hughes (16-8, 4.31 ERA) takes the mound for the Yankees, looking for his first quality start in five outings. Hughes was on the losing end of a 4-3 setback at Tropicana Field last Wednesday, allowing four earned runs in 6.2 innings of work. The righty gave up a pair of homers to Dan Johnson, as the Yankees were able to hang in that game thanks to the now infamous Derek Jeter acting job on a hit by pitch. Hughes is winless in a pair of starts against Tampa Bay, but both outings came on the road.

The Rays send out James Shields (13-12, 4.86 ERA), who was on the winning side of last Wednesday's one-run triumph over Hughes and the Yankees. Shields scattered eight hits and one earned run in 6.1 innings to cash as a short home favorite. Tampa Bay is 5-1 in Shields' last six starts, including crucial home victories over the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rangers. Three of Shields' previous four starts on the road have finished 'over' the total, as the righty owns an ERA of 5.40 on the highway.

Tampa Bay owns a slight 8-6 edge over New York in the season series, while all five matchups in the Bronx cashed the 'over.' The Rays have claimed three of those five games over the Yankees in New York, as Tampa Bay plated eight runs or more in each of the wins.

Braves at Phillies - 7:05 PM EST

Atlanta led the NL East for most of the season, thanks to Philadelphia's multitude of injuries throughout the summer. However, the Braves have gone backwards over the last month, while the Phillies have caught fire to retake the lead inside the division. Bobby Cox's team is still in control of the Wild Card, but the Braves would like to win their first division title since 2005.

It's a mismatch on the mound as former Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay opposes rookie southpaw Mike Minor. Halladay (19-10, 2.49 ERA) is making a late case for another Cy Young honor, as Philadelphia is 8-2 in his previous 10 starts. The Phillies' ace lasted less than seven innings for the first time in 11 outings in last Wednesday's victory over the Marlins, his fourth win against Florida this season. Halladay has dominated the Braves in two starts, tossing a pair of complete games, while allowing 10 hits and one earned run combined.

Minor (3-1, 5.84 ERA) has struggled after a nice start with Atlanta, giving up 14 earned runs in his last three outings. The left-hander began his Braves' tenure with three straight quality starts, but it also included wins over the Mets, Nationals, and Cubs. Minor has not faced a team that is currently in playoff contention, as the best team he's seen is St. Louis, allowing seven hits and four earned runs in seven innings of an 8-6 triumph.

Atlanta leads the season series, 7-5, with the two teams splitting the six meetings at Citizens Bank Park. Four of the six matchups in Philadelphia have finished 'under' the total, including Halladay's complete-game gem on July 5 to beat the Braves, 3-1.

What else to watch for:

One of the hottest teams in baseball is one of the most disappointing. The Cubs played themselves out of the race early on, but are finishing the season strong following an 8-1 road trip at Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Florida. Chicago returns to the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field to host the NL West-leading Giants. Carlos Zambrano has been dynamic since his return following a suspension, leading the Cubs to wins in each of his last five outings.

The Padres begin the night a ½ game behind the Giants in the NL West, as San Diego makes the short trip up I-5 to battle the Dodgers. Los Angeles avoided a sweep with its extra-innings victory over Colorado on Sunday, as Chad Billingsley goes his 12th win. The Dodgers will be looking to avenge a three-game sweep by the Padres at Petco Park in early September as the 'under' is a strong 11-4 this season between these NL West rivals.

Hondo

The Yankees won one for the boss of HondoNation last night, rocking the Rays to drop the deficit all the way down to 2,275 hemuses.

Tonight, Mr. Aitch has a host of visitors he likes -- 10 units apiece on the Indians, Braves, Cardinals and Giants.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

St. Louis at Pittsburgh (+130, 8.5)

The Aug. 10 brawl between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds has claimed Jason LaRue’s career. LaRue, who was kicked repeatedly in the face by Johnny Cueto during the melee, has officially retired as he continues to deal with post-concussion symptoms.

"It's unfortunate that the blow that decided it came from someone kicking me in the head with spikes,” LaRue told reporters. “I wouldn't say I would change things if you could rewrite history. They say things happen for certain reasons. In this case, I couldn't tell you why. Does it suck that my career is over because Johnny Cueto started kicking me in the head? Yes, it sucks.”

LaRue will join the team in Pittsburgh on Monday to take in one final road trip with the club and visit a concussion specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Pick: Cardinals


Cleveland at Minnesota (-155, 8)

Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer, who is second in the AL with a .331 batting average, jammed his left knee on Sunday and is expected to be out of the lineup for at least a few days, adding to the Twins’ injury woes. Jason Kubel and Denard Span are also out with nagging injuries while there is no timetable for Justin Morneau’s return, who is battling post-concussion syndrome.

The Twins had won six of their last eight games heading into Monday’s game.

Pick: Under

Bettors' best friend: Tuesday's wagering tips

Weather to watch

San Francisco Giants at Chicago Cubs – 30 percent chance of isolated thundershowers. 20 mph winds blowing out to right-center.
Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers – 50 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Who’s hot

St. Louis Cardinals are 12-4 in last 16 meetings with Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia Phillies have won seven straight.
San Francisco Giants are 7-2 in their last nine road games.
Cincinnati Reds have won 11 of their last 12 meetings against Milwaukee.
Minnesota Twins are 38-14 over their last 52.
Colorado Rockies are 20-7 in their last 27.
Texas Rangers are 8-2 over their last 10.

Who’s not

Washington Nationals are 2-9 in last 11.
New York Yankees are 4-9 in their last 13.
Kansas City Royals are 6-22 in their last 28 road games.
Seattle Mariners are 2-8 over their last 10.
Baltimore Orioles are 14-37 in their last 51 meetings in Boston.

Key stat

.642 – Colorado Rockies’ September winning percentage (77-43) since 2007. The Rockies are 13-4 this month.

Injuries that shouldn’t be overlooked

The Chicago Cubs will be without Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto for the rest of the year. Colvin was impaled in the chest by a broken bat in a freak accident on Sunday but is now in stable condition. Colvin had 20 homers and 57 RBIs with a .254 average in his rookie season. Soto underwent right shoulder surgery to repair the joint that had been bothering him for some time. He hit .280 with 17 homers and 53 RBIs this year.

Game of the day

Tampa Bay at New York Yankees

Notable quotable

“Yeah boss, cracked rib but I’m good.” – Chad Ochocinco on his Twitter account on Monday in a reply to a question about his health from gold medal sprinter Lionel Larry. There has been no confirmation of any injury from the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tips and notes

Word has it Joe Torre would listen to the New York Mets if they’re interested in bringing him in to manage next season. Torre will step down as Los Angeles Dodgers manager at the end of the season, giving way to Don Mattingly.

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs may not be happy, but the team says that he isn’t going anywhere. Jacobs threw his helmet into the stands on Sunday after being pulled from the game. Rumor had it Jacobs had asked to be traded but the Giants deny that claim and say he’s staying put as Ahmad Bradshaw’s backup.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will start at quarterback for the Buffalo Bills against the New England Patriots, sending Trent Edwards to the bench. Edwards threw one touchdown through the first two games of the season, averaging 120 passing yards per game.
