Yanks /Twins
Play : 2 * Twins -110
The Twins come into this game (20-6) in their last 26 games as a favorite and
they send KevinSlowey to the Hill to get another W today .He will be opposed by
Yankee starter Darell Rasner .The Yanks up until last night haad been playing
lousy ball and looked comletely lost at the Plate .I'm not so sure that isn't still
the case even with last nights Win .They certainly received some fortuitous calls
and a Twin error didn't hurt .The Yanks were (4-6) their last 10 games going into last night
something that should make Steinbrenner very proud .
The Twins Kevin Slowey has been a nice surprise this season especially in his last
3 starts going (2-1) with a 2.61 ERA .Rasner has been going in the opposite direction and
doesn't seem to like the road where he is (2-5) and has given up 56 Hits in 40 Innings
of work .His last start vs. the Twins was a losing cause against Nick Blackburn back on
June 1st . I think he gets another "L" today against a surging Twins team that is (40-22) at the Dome .

BOS -1.5 (-115) Bodog vs 923 TEX
Red Sox RUN LINE -1.5 runs -115
The Rangers scored 17 runs last night and they still lost on the run line as the Red Sox scored 19 runs! That tells you how bad the current pitching situation is for the Rangers right now! Sending Luis Mendoza to the mound certainly wont help matters for the struggling Rangers. Of course, were certainly not going to advise you to lay the 235 on the money line with the Red Sox here but we do see extremely good value with Boston on the run line as by laying the 1.5 runs we only have to lay about 115 in juice. This is a great value, especially considering the pitching match-up tonight! The Rangers Mendoza is 2-5 with an 8.78 in ten starts. He is coming off of another very poor effort at Baltimore on Friday. Also, he got absolutely hammered in his only career appearance against the Red Sox and that came in April. He certainly will be no match for Boston here! Mendoza faces a real challenge here because of being matched up with Jon Lester of the Red Sox. The Boston southpaw is coming off of a rare, sub-par effort but he is still an amazing 7-1 with a 2.95 ERA in his 12 starts since May 25th! Look for him to quiet the Texas sticks today while, at the same time, he should get a ton of run support as Boston tees off on Mendoza and a struggling and over-used Rangers bullpen that is one of the worst in all of baseball! Lay the 1.5 runs with the Red Sox for what should be a dominating win on Wednesday night!
