Game: Cleveland at Tampa Bay (12:40 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Tampa Bay -220 (moneyline) (risk 5 to win 2.3)
We are not usually tuned in to heavy chalk, but sometimes there is value even in lines that seem to be laden with chalk. Scott Kazmir has been brilliant on the season and for him, and the Rays this year, there is certainly no place like home. The Rays have put together a 44-17 mark at home, which suggests a better than two-to-one mark with anyone pitching. Plug in Kazmir and the Rays 8-1 home mark in his starts backed by a 1.66 ERA and you have value here. Now turn to the Tribe and Jeremy Sowers and their 1-6 mark in his seven road starts, and two-to-one odds on this game just doesn’t cut it, so we will lay the chalk and take the value it offers here.
Game: Houston at Chicago (2:20 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Chicago -181 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 1.7)
The Cubs have to be considered at any price under -200 at home. The Cubbies have dominated all comers to the tune of a 42-16 mark or winning over 72% of the time. The Astros Brandon Backe has had two distinctly different seasons. The ‘Stros are 6-4 when Backe starts at home, but a pitiful 3-10 when he starts on the road. Not exactly the type of pitcher that stops the Cubs at home. The Cubs slid for awhile going 12-14 over a 26-game stretch, but are back to winning again taking eight of their last 10. Cubs get the call in this one.
Game: Baltimore at Los Angeles Angels (3:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Baltimore +195 (moneyline) (risk 2 to win 3.9)
The O's hung in there for awhile, but a 4-14 streak put an end to any thought they'd be around come October. But as young teams go, the mental aspect of the game is fragile. This team now has a winning mentality again, winners of six of their last nine backed by a 3-0 shutout of the Angels last night. After five straight wins on the road over the Red Sox and Yankees, the Angels seem to have lost their emotional edge for a bit, dropping three out of four. Ervin Santana led the Angels to six wins in his first seven starts, while posting a 2.02 ERA in the process. Santana and the Angels have struggled since as they have been a sub-.500 team over his last 15 starts while his ERA has almost doubled in the process. Sometimes timing puts value in the moneyline, so we like the O's chances here to steal another from the Angels.
Game: Minnesota at Seattle (4:40 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Minnesota -128 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.3)
Ok, who would of believed that over two-thirds of the way through the season without Liriano and his injuries and Santana gone to the Mets that the Twins would have a better record than the Yankees? Furthermore, what would this line be if Mussina (3.44 ERA) and the Yankees were playing instead of the Twins with Blackburn (3.56 ERA)? You can bet much higher and that is why there is value here. The Twins have won 10 of Blackburn’s last 15 starts while the Mariners are just 7-15 over Washburn's 22 starts on the season. We see great value in this one and will ride the Twins here.

Public is Dumb...Normally
Whats up everyone,
I have been hanging low for a while, but I noticed that 97% of the public is on Minnesota and 94% of is on Milwaukee. Take this as you want, but I love to fade the public. You can get some good value on home teams today. Good luck to all today!

Detroit Tigers (55-57) at Chicago White Sox (62-49)
(R) Justin Verlander (8-11) vs. (L) John Danks (8-4)
The White Sox have been a disaster on the road, but have played well at U.S. Cellular Field. Chicago has won 15 of their last 20 home games, 36-16 this season. They have beaten the Tigers in six of their last 8 games in the Windy City.
Detroit's Justin Verlander (8-11, 4.49), has lost his last two starts. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 6.87 ERA in his last three starts and is 2-7 in his career against the White Sox, 1-3 with a 6.15 ERA in four starts against them this season.
Chicago's John Danks (8-4, 3.31 ERA), has won his last five decisions. The left-hander is 1-0 with a 7.88 ERA in his last three starts and 1-1 with a 5.79 ERA in four career starts versus the Tigers.
Take the White Sox at home. The Tigers have lost their last five road games and nine of Verlander's last 12 starts on the road, 0-6 in the right-hander's last 6 versus the White Sox in Chicago.
Chicago White Sox -110

#975 NY YANKEES with Ponson (-124) over Texas at 8:05 PM EST
It's hard to believe that Texas and New York have almost identical records at this point in the season. The Yankees have historically been one of the best second half teams and I fully expect them to make a move sooner rather than later. Of course, off back-to-back straight up losses, this is an ideal spot for the Pinstripes.
New York will turn to former Texas hurler Sidney Ponson. Rest assured, Ponson has probably had this date circled in red on his calendar. The Rangers released the veteran right hander on June 16th and hung him out to dry. The Maria College product did face the Rangers on July 2nd and was tagged for seven earned runs and nine hits in 5.0 frames. Thankfully, Sidney's last start was a gem and it should give him plenty of confidence. Facing the red-hot LA Angels, Ponson tossed seven shutout innings and allowed only two hits. Unfortunately, the Yanks couldn't score and lost that contest 1-0.
Texas still owns the worst ERA in MLB and they'll turn to Indianapolis, Indiana product Tommy Hunter who will be making his second start of his career. On August 1st, Hunter faced Toronto and got pounded for six earned runs and eight hits in 5.0 innings of work. Rest assured, this hard-hitting New York lineup will do serious damage against this rookie.
There are solid angles that support this investment too. The Pinstripes have played well in game thee of a series cashing 43 of their last 55. Equally impressive, the Yanks have nailed 16 of their last 23 facing the AL West. Finally, Texas has dropped 13 of its last 16 at home in this series. That's enough power for this handicapper. Take New York with listed pitcher Ponson. Thank you and best of luck, TOM STRYKER .

#960 PHILADELPHIA with Kendrick (-148) over Florida at 7:05 PM EST
Counting last night's 8-2 victory, Florida has now won three straight in this series. That fact isn't sitting too well with Philadelphia. The Phillies are clinging to a 1.5 game lead in the NL East standings and they can't afford another loss to the Marlins.
To stop the bleeding, Philly will call upon right-hander Kyle Kendrick. It certainly won't take much for Kendrick to get motivated for this contest. In his last start at Florida on July 19th, Kyle was ripped for seven earned runs and 10 hits in only 4.1 innings of work. Philadelphia dropped that battled 9-5. Since that dismal performance, Kendrick has taken the mound twice and been right on target. Facing Washington and Atlanta, No. 38 was touched for only three earned runs and 14 hits in only 12.2 frames.
Florida will counter with Anibal Sanchez. Making his first start since May 5th, 2007, Sanchez pitched well at home against Colorado. Anibal held the Rockies to only two earned runs and six hits in 5.2 innings of work. The Marlins won that battle 12-2. Unfortunately, Philadelphia has given No. 36 fits. In two starts against the Phillies, Sanchez owns a lofty 10.61 ERA!
Philadelphia's bats are explosive. In fact, after scoring two runs or less, the Phillies have responded by winning 40 of their last 59 games. Equally impressive, with Kendrick favored on the bump, Philadelphia has cashed 20 of their last 29.
The Phillies need some breathing room in the division standings and they know it. Take Philadelphia with listed pitcher Kendrick.
