Service Plays Wednesday 8/11/10

[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

Wednesday's Streaking And Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Reds (12-6, 3.83 ERA)
Arroyo may not have a huge winning streak rolling, but the rock star wannabe is lugging a scoreless streak through his last 14 innings or work. Arroyo pitched his second straight scoreless start in a 3-0 shutout of the Chicago Cubs Friday. It was the righty’s second win in a row and fifth victory in his last seven trips to the mound. Since the All-Star break, Arroyo is 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA.
Wandy Rodriguez, Houston Astros (9-11, 4.34 ERA)
Rodriguez has been all over the page this season, but seems to be finding his stride late in the summer. The Astros lefty is undefeated in his last four starts, going 3-0 with a 1.62 ERA and is 6-1 since June 24. Over his last three, Way-Rod boasts a skinny 0.42 ERA and 23 strikeouts. His last outing was a no-decision in a 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in which the Houston bullpen spoiled a one-run, eight-hit effort from Rodriguez.

Slumping

Tommy Hanson, Atlanta Braves (8-8, 3.69 ERA)
Despite the Braves’ success in the NL East, Hanson has come up short in his recent starts. The young right hander hasn’t tasted victory since early July and is 0-3 in his last six outings. Hanson hasn’t pitched poorly, posting a 2.41 ERA in that span. He’s allowed only one run in each of his last three starts but hasn’t received enough from the Braves’ bats to back up those efforts. He gave up just a single run on three hits but took a no-decision in a 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants in his most recent start Friday.

HOT LINES

Wednesday's Best MLB Bets

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers (-156)
Arlington should just be considered another borough of New York, because the Yankees absolutely own it.
The Bronx Bombers are 36-16 in their past 52 against Texas, including 23-9 in the past 32 in the Lone Star State. Not only that, when the team faces left-hander Cliff Lee, it can tout that no squad has scored more runs (174) then them against South Paws this season.
Dig even deeper.
New York also is 10th in the league in batting average against lefties, hitting a respectable .266. The team also is second in home runs (39) and fifth in doubles (67) against lefty pitching.
And over the past three years, the Yankees are batting .286 against Cliff Lee. He did beat the Yankees in a start in New York in late June, but allowed four runs in the complete game.
“He’s pretty much the same every time you see him,” Derek Jeter told the Associated Press. “He’s a perfect example of a guy who’s going to come after you. He throws strikes, not going to hurt himself, doesn’t walk anybody.”
He won’t hurt himself. Jeter and the Bombers will do that for him.

Pick: New York Yankees

Colorado Rockies at New York Mets (-115)
Citi Field has been a graveyard for batters this season. The Mets pitching staff has defended its home field by ranking as the fifth-best home pitching team in the Majors.
Mets pitchers have a 3.06 ERA at home and have allowed just 161 earned runs in Queens – the second fewest in all of baseball for a home team. Opponents also are hitting a meager .248 off the hurlers.
And the bats come alive at home, too. The team is hitting .265 at home, 25 points higher than on the road, where the team has especially struggled this year.
Meantime, don’t ask the Rockies to even try to make contact away from Coors Field. Colorado is the second-best home hitting team in baseball, but is next to last in road batting average (.235) and 23rd in road runs scored (217).
The team even recently called a meeting to discuss a horrendous 22-35 road record.
"There aren't any answers," outfielder Dexter Fowler told MLB.com. "It's life."
And don’t expect life to get any easier in the Empire State.

Pick: New York Mets

BETTORS' TIPS AND NOTES
Bettors' Best Friend (BBF): Wednesday's Wagering Tips

Line To Keep An Eye On
Cardinals at Reds: The home team opened at +115 but now can be found as high as +122 at some books.

Weather To Watch
Twins at White Sox: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.
Marlins at Nationals: 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.
Cardinals at Reds: 40 percent chance of thunderstorms.

Who's Hot
The Phillies are 14-3 in their past 17 games.
The under is 7-2 in Kansas City’s past nine games.
The over is 8-0 in the Cardinals’ past eight games.

Who's Not
The Cubs are 2-14 in their past 16 games.
The Orioles are 15-50 in their past 65 road games.
The Diamondbacks are just 24-58 in their past 82 road games.

Key Stat
3.7: Runs per game scored by the Mariners under fired manager Don Wakamatsu, the fewest of any team in the majors since the start of the 2009 season.
Injury That Shouldn't Be Overlooked
Minnesota Twins starter Kevin Slowey will miss his next scheduled start against the White Sox on Wednesday due to soreness in his elbow. Manager Ron Gardenhire wanted to move up his entire rotation with an off-day on Monday, but both left-hander Francisco Liriano and right-hander Carl Pavano requested an extra day to rest their arms this week. That means 27-year-old Glen Perkins will make his first start of the season after failing to make the roster out of Spring Training. And the left-hander hasn’t been dominating at Triple-A Rochester. In his past two starts, he has lasted just 11.2 innings, yielding six earned runs on 14 hits while striking out just eight against four walks.

Game Of The Day
Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies (-132, 7.5)

Notable Quotable
"So far I like 'The Big Shamrock.' But I might go with 'The Big Green Mile,' too, I'm not sure yet." – Shaquille O’Neal on his preference for a nickname with the Boston Celtics.

Tips And Notes
It could get really, really ugly for the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday against Real Salt Lake. The Union have lost their past two games by a combined score of 5-2 and allowed an MLS-worst 32 goals this season. However, the team has scored at least once in seven straight matches and nine of their past 10. Meantime, Real Salt Lake has scored an MLS-high 33 goals and has scored in three straight games. In the team’s only meeting earlier this season, RSL ripped the Union, 3-0. Over, anyone?
Keep paying attention to the Mets and the under. Outfielder Jason Bay, who was hitting just .259 with a meager six home runs when he went on the DL two weeks ago, is not close to returning to the lineup. "All I know," manager Jerry Manuel told MLB.com, "is that there has not been any activity." Nearly as bad, Rod Barajas is not close to returning after being sidelined more than two weeks ago with an oblique strain, leaving rookie Josh Thole to handle the catching duties. Over the past 10 games, the team is averaging just three runs per game, with four of the team’s past seven games falling below the total.
The New York Yankees aren’t playing with scrubs, but the team has seen better days. Second baseman Robinson Cano is battling a cold that kept him out of the lineup on Tuesday and could keep him on the bench for another game or two. Manager Joe Girardi also isn’t sure what to do with outfielder Curtis Granderson, whose speed is a rarity in the team’s lineup, but is hitting just .206 against lefties this season. On Tuesday, he was glued to the bench. Also out of the lineup is first baseman Mark Teixeira, who is staying back in New York with his wife, Leigh, who gave birth to the couple’s baby boy on Tuesday. Girardi expects him to join the team later this week in Kansas City. But just when remains a mystery. If you are playing the Yankees, look very close at the lineup until the first pitch.
