monday 0-1
tuesday 0-2

well well well...jeff wants everyone to hop on his plays..its quite humorous...the worse handicapper on this site..however if you flip flop his plays he is the best handicapper.

Wednesday's Plays ...
25 DIME selaction on the <b>OAKLAND A’S</b> over the Blue Jays in afternoon action from the Bay Area. As I publish this play, Oakland is a solid favorite in the -120 to -130 range, so be sure to shop around and get the best of the numeber. Note that you MUST list Gio Gonzalez as Oakland’s starting pitcher. If Gonzalez doesn’t pitch, this play is VOID!





5 DIME selection on the <b>PITTSBURGH PIRATES</b> over Marlins at PNC Park. As I publish this play, Pittsburgh is an underdog ranging from +160 to +170. Note that you must list Ross Ohlendorf as the Pirates’ starting pitcher. If Ohlendorf doesn’t pitch, this release is VOID!








<b>A’s</b>





If you were with me two weekends ago, this play shouldn’t surprise you in the least. Two Saturday’s ago, I played Oakland and Gio Gonzalez (today’s starter) over the first-place Rangers, and the A’s rolled to a 6-2 victory. The next day, I took the A’s over the Rangers again and scored a 3-2 win. The common thread woven betwean those two selections: Both games were played in broad daylight.





Why is that important? Because Oakland owns baseball’s best record day-game record in all of baseball – we’re talking 28-12, or 70 percent winners. The next-best daytime record belongs to the Yankees at 27-16 (63 percent).





A big reason for Oakland’s success in day games has been none other than the aforeementioned Gonzalez. He’s 6-1 with a 2.10 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP in eight daytime starts, with the A’s also prevailing in his one no decision (so they’re 7-1 in his day games). In those eight contests, Gonzalez has allowed just 37 hits (including only two home runs) and 15 walks with 38 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings.





One of Gonzalez’s day wins came against the Blue Jays on May 1, when he yielded two runs on three hits and two walks with eight Ks in 5 2/3 innings, picking up a 4-3 victory. And that win came on the road, where Gonzalez has been far less effective (4-5, 3.99 ERA) than he’s been at home (6-3, 2.94 ERA, including just four home runs allowed in 70 1/3 innings). The fact Gonzalez is a lefty is also huge, as the Jays have been horrific against southpaws this season (.217 team average).





In addition to dominating day games, the A’s are 35-25 at home following Tuesday’s rout of Toronto. And today, they face Toronto lefty Marc Rzepczynski, who is making just his fourth big-league start of this season. His last one was fantastic (seven shutout innings of two-hit ball at the Angels on Friday, winning 3-0). However, his first two were anything but (combined nine runs allowed in 10 1/3 innings). That includes a 5-2 loss at Kansas City on July 21, his worst outing of the three. When was that contest played? During the day. In fact, in his brief major-league career, Rzepczynski is 1-3 with a 3.90 ERA in six daytime appearances (five starts).





Throw in the fact the A’s have a “homer” umpire calling balls and strikes – home teams are 15-8 when Alfonso Marquez is behind the dish, including 4-0 in the last four – and I’m all over Oakland at this dirt-cheap price.








<b>Pirates</b>





Let’s play a little mystery game:





Pitcher A has given up 16 runs in his last four starts covering 24 1/3 innings for a 5.92 ERA. His team lost three of those four games, going 0-3 on the road.





Pitcher B is coming off consecutive dominating starts, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and three walks with 13 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings, and over his last nine contests he’s given up just 11 earned runs in 45 1/3 innings, which equates to a 2.18 ERA.





Pitcher A’s team is just 3-7 when he toils on the road. Pitcher B’s team is 5-6 when he pitches at home.





Pitcher A lost his only career start to Pitcher B’s team (albeit four years ago). Pitcher B shutout Pitcher A’s team last year, allowing two hits and one walk in seven innings of an 8-0 home victory.





Now what if I told you that Pitcher A is a minus-180 favorite today? You’d think that’s insane, right? Well, it’s true, and the reason is that Pitcher A is Florida’s Cy Young candidate Josh Johnson, while Pitcher B is Pittsburgh’s unheralded Ross Ohlendorf.





The truth is that Johnson has hit a late-season wall (you knew it was coming eventually), while Ohlendorf is finally coming into his own. With the way these two guys are going and if you’re going to give this kind of take-back – especially when the Pirates have won six of nine overall against Florida, including five of six in Pittsburgh – I’m more than willing to take my shot. One final point: Pittsburgh’s home record (27-31) is nearly identical to Florida’s road record (29-30).
