SPORTS WAGERS

USA -108 OVER ALGERIA

The Americans are in control of their own destiny, as a win here would punch their ticket to the 2nd round. They managed a draw against one of the early tournament favorites, England, after English goalkeeper Robert Green fumbled the ball into his own net. Many felt that their 2nd match against Slovenia would surely generate a victory. However, the Americans came out flat and looked like they thought victory would find them somewhere on the field. Slovenia pounced all over this and jumped out to a two-goal lead by halftime. With their backs against the walls and elimination starring them directly in the face, the Americans were a completely different team in the 2nd half. They were moving the ball at will, generating scoring chance after scoring chance. After Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley scored a goal each to tie the game at two, horrible officiating would rear it's ugly head once again at the this World Cup. Maurice Edu scored to complete one of the best comebacks in the history of the World Cup, but referee Koman Coulibaly decided to make a phantom foul call on the USA that would negate the goal. The play has been shown thousands of times in the last few days and there was absolutely nothing there that even resembled a foul. The best part of all of this is that the incident will only motivate the Americans and their supporters to the utmost level on Wednesday. They had their scare last week and you can expect them to turn up the tempo for the whole game this time. Algeria is coming off a Draw with England, but don't put too much emphasis into that match. It was more of a case of the English playing horrendous football than anything else. England was boring, predictable and void of any real effort. Algeria is in a position where they will have to play out of their element and attack if they want any chance of advancing. That should be just what the doctor ordered for Team USA, as they will have multiple opportunities to counterattack. The Americans are the superior team in this match and they will accept nothing less than an emphatic victory. Play: USA -108 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).

BOB BALFE

United States -140

The United States has been knocking on the door for two decades now, with this being the most important game in USA Soccer history against a team that they should beat. The second half of the last game gave this team the confidence to turn the page and become contenders in this tournament. Take the USA.


England/Slovenia Over 2.5

England has not played well in the first two games and will need a win today to advance to the second round. Look for Slovenia to put some pressure on them and make it tough for the English to control the pace that they prefer. At the end of the day, particularly in the second half, both teams will open it up to put a few goals in the net. Take the Over.


Serbia -125

Australia does not have a good defense and the better team should win here today. If Serbia wins, they will have a great shot at advancing considering Germany is going to need a (and probably will) win against Ghana today to advance. Look for Serbia to get out to an early lead and to never look back, putting all the pressure on the Germans. Take Serbia.


Germany -1

Both teams need a win to secure themselves a spot in the next round. Germany is one of the most offensively gifted teams and does a great job applying pressure early and often. Look for Germany to get a much needed win to advance to the second round. Take Germany -1.


Texas Rangers/Pittsburgh Pirates Over 10

The Pirates out-hit the Rangers last night and still could not get the win. Nippert has been horrible this year so I expect the Pirates to continue to hut and actually generate some runs. Texas will get their runs as always (5.2 rpg) and we should push this over the total today. Take the Over.

Tony George | MLB RunLine Wed, 06/23/10 - 4:35 PM

double-dime bet 956 WAS -1.5 (-119) Bodog vs 955 KAN
Analysis:

Washington -1.5 runs (-119)

Brian Bannister for KC has been lit up like a Christmas Tree in his last 2 starts against Atlanta and Cincy, and in his last 3 games has a 10.05 ERA. Rookie sensation Scott Strasburg should eat up an inconsistent offense of KC, who on this road trip have lost 2 close ones, but Bannister will allow the Nats to put runners in scoring position and light up the scoreboard. KC cannot close a game, and while both bullpens are in excellent form, the Nats should get up early and then close it out. Strasburg has a WHIP of 0.78 and an ERA of 1.86, and KC is hardly intimidating. Strasburg is not a flash in the pan, he is the real deal, and has given up only 10 hits in 3 games and 19 innings pitched, unreal. That was against better teams I might add.

Plasy 2 Units on Washington on the runline. Best of Luck.

Larry Ness | MLB Money Line Wed, 06/23/10 - 10:05 PM

triple-dime bet 978 ANA (-125) Sportbet vs 977 LOS
Analysis: My 10* IL Rivalry GOY is on the LA Angels at 10:05 ET.
The Angels and Dodgers met for a€ three-game series back on June 11-13. It was the final series at the end on a long 14-game road trip for the Angels and for the Dodgers, they were completing a 13-game homestand. The Angels swept the dodgers 10-1, 4-2 and 6-5, marking the first time they had done so (at Dodger Stadium) in 14 years of IL play. The teams opened a three-game series last night in Anaheim with the Angels making it four straight wins over the Dodgers this season, winning 6-3. Should anything change tonight? I think not. The Angels are now an impressive 16-6 since Kendry Morales broke his leg in a home plate celebration back on May 29, while the Dodgers have dropped EIGHT of their last 10 (FIVE straight), starting with that Angels' three-game sweep in Dodger Stadium. Rookie John Ely starts for the Dodgers and Joel Pineiro for the Angels. Ely's first ML start came back on April 28 and he struggled at the Mets (6 IP / 6 hits / 5 ERs) in a 7-3 loss. He then went 3-1 (team was 5-1) over his next six starts, posting a 1.80 ERA. However, either Ely has "run out of gas" or the league has caught up to him. He's 0-2 (team is 1-2) over his last four starts, allowing 23 hits and 15 ERs over 14.2 innings (9.20 ERA). As for Pineiro, he was thought to be a "star in waiting" back with Seattle in the early part of the 2000s. He went 14-7 (3.24) in '02 and 16-11 (3.78) in '03 but from 2004-08 (for Seattle, Boston and St Louis), was 35-47 with a 5.34 ERA. However, he got things sorted out last year with the Cards. He opened 4-0, struggled in losing nine of his next 11 but then went 8-0 with 2.87 ERA over an 11-start stretch (7/3-9/1) in which the Cards won all 11 of his starts. He finished 15-12 with a 3.49 ERA, earning him a two-year, $16 million free agent deal with the Angels. Pineiro has been streaky all season for the Angels. He opened with a 1.77 ERA in his first three starts, then allowed 21 hits and 15 ERs (14.46 ERA) over 9.1 innings of his next two outings. He followed with an 0.84 ERA over his next three but then posted an 8.61 ERA over his next four outings. However, he's allowed just two ERs (and eight hits) over 17 innings of his last two starts (1.06 ERA), earning consecutive wins with a 12-2 KW ratio. That includes a five-hit, complete game 10-1 win over the Dodgers on June 11 (he's 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers). Let's note that while Pineiro owns a 6.80 ERA on the road, his home ERA is 2.40. Dodgers woes continue tonight.

Good luck...Larry

Ben Burns | MLB Total Wed, 06/23/10 - 7:05 PM

double-dime bet 961 STL / 962 TOR Under 7.5 Bookmaker.com
Analysis: I'm playing on St. Louis and Toronto to finish UNDER the total. Yesterday's series opener was high-scoring, finishing well above the total. I expect this evening's game to be much lower-scoring.

Romero gets the call for the home team and he's been superb here at Toronto. In six home starts, he's gone 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA and 0.854 WHIP.

He's averaged a whopping eight innings per start here and has an impressive 50 K's, with just 15 walks, in 48 innings here. Not surprisingly, the UNDER is 5-1 in his six starts here.

Meanwhile, Chris Carpenter checks in at 8-1 with a 2.83 ERA and 1.151 WHIP, averaging 6.8 innings per start. Carpenter, an ex-member of the Jays, has made one start against his former team. That was back in 2005. He returned to his former stomping grounds and tossed a complete-game one-hit shutout. He had 10 K's and 1 walk. Talk about dominance.

Even with yesterday's game finishing above the total, the Jays have seen the UNDER go 20-15 at home while the Cards have seen the UNDER go 20-15 on the road. The Cards have also still seen the UNDER go a highly profitable 29-15-1 their last 45 night games.

Including Carpenter's previously mentioned start here, the UNDER is 3-1 the last four times that these teams faced each other. Carpenter wants to ride into town and deliver another big outing while Romero will be anxious not to get shown up by a former fan favorite and I expect a well-pitched affair. *8
