Big AL
(909) ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
(910) HOUSTON ASTROS
Take "(910) HOUSTON ASTROS"
At 2:05pm our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Houston is again flirting with the .500 mark in what has to be considered a successful season for this franchise that nobody thought would be this good this late in the season. In fact, prior to the start of the season, some people picked the Astros to finish last, even below the Pirates, but heading into this weekend, they are only two games out of second place in the NL Central. The 'Stros have a chance to improve even more on their surprising record and the two starters in this final match-up of the three-game series could not be any different. Houston's Bud Norris is a promising 24-year-old rookie who throws hard, averaging a strikeout per inning and who is 3-1 with a solid 4.05 ERA so far through his first five appearances (four starts). Arizona's Jon Garland is an aging veteran whose career as a Major League starter appears to be winding down. Garland, who has never been known to throw hard, has 11 losses on the season, to go along with a 4.42 ERA and only 74 strikeouts in just under 155 innings. Although Garland had thrown eight quality starts in his last nine outings heading into his ill-fated start against the Phillies, he only has one win in his last seven starts and the D-Backs are 1-6 during this time. In three career starts vs. the Astros, Garland is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA. Take Houston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

(911) SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
(912) COLORADO ROCKIES
Take "(911) SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS"
The Giants seem to have been six to seven games back of the Dodgers in the AL West for ages now. And, that's where they find themselves still. Only difference is that Colorado has overtaken the Giants for 2nd place in the NL West and first place in the Wild Card race. Today's game is huge for both clubs as the Giants can't afford another loss to the Rockies and fall further behind in the race for the Wildcard slot. The Giants get to send their Ace to the mound today in Tim Lincecum. Linecum is 12-3 on the season with a 2.37 ERA. Ubaldo Jiminez starts for the Rockies and he's 11-9 with a 3.41 ERA. Expect today's contest to be a tough battle between two contenders for that final playoff spot, but we'll give the nod here to the Giants and their Ace in the hole. Take the Giants.

WNBA - 605 San Antonio Silver Stars @ 606 Detroit Shock
Detroit defeated Chicago last night on the road but they didn't convince me in any circumstances and I expect them to have a letdown against San Antonio. Detroit took advantage from the fact that Sky's best player Sylvia Fowles didn't play (by the way Chicago is 0-7 SU without her) and the Sky scored only 28 points in the paint. However veteran K. Smith played 37 minutes, veteran forward Taj McWilliams-Franklin played 34 minutes and Deanna Nolan did not play the entire fourth quarter due to a minor injury...we are talking about a veteran team who will play a back to back game today.
Meanwhile this game is more than a simple ballgame for San Antonio. The Stars are coming from consecutive losses against Atlanta and Los Angeles and last game they had a lot of opportunities to beat the Sparks but they failed to convert so they are fired up for today but more important than that this is a huge revenge game for San Antonio. These two teams are yet to face in this season but last season Detroit swept San Antonio in the WNBA finals and the entire Stars' core is intact this season and surely they have the revenge word in their minds. This is a powerful spot for San Antonio that we cannot pass and that's why I'm taking them in here.

St Louis Cardinals vs. San Diego Padres
San Diego Padres +160
1 Unit on San Diego Padres +160
Bottom line: This play fades Smoltz, who is being severely overvalued when you consider how poorly he's pitched this season. He's been lit up over his last 3 starts, 11.93 ERA and 2.163 WHIP. I can't see his first start with a new team being smooth sailing. Padres are a nice value play in the home dog role this afternoon.

#917 SEATTLE with Fernandez (-137) over Cleveland at 1:05 PM EST
Off yesterday's 4-3 loss at Cleveland, I'm going to back Seattle with listed pitcher Felix Hernandez on Sunday. The road team has cashed 12 of the last 14 meetings between these two American League foes and Felix should dominate this struggling Indians bunch.
In case you haven't noticed, Hernandez has been a monster in his last four starts. Facing Detroit, Chicago, Tampa Bay and Texas (four team that can flat out hit the ball), No. 34 was touched for only six earned runs and 22 hits in 27.0 innings of work. That breaks down to a stellar 2.00 ERA! Foreign soil has been kind to Felix too. As a guest, Hernandez has been nicked for only 21 earned runs and 74 hits in 98.2 frames. That's good enough for an impressive 8-1 record and a phenomenal 1.92 ERA.
Cleveland will counter with struggling right hander Fausto Carmona. In his last two starts against the Angels and Rangers, Carmona lost both allowing five earned runs and 21 hits in 17.0 innings. Fausto walked five and fanned only seven. At home this season, No. 55 has failed to scoop up a win. Through 46.2 frames, Carmona owns a dismal 0-5 record and an elevated 4.82 ERA! With Fausto on the bump, the Tribe has dropped eight of their last nine facing teams from the AL West.
Coming off a win, Cleveland has slipped in 37 of its last 54 games. To make matters worse, Seattle has been at its best as a favorite cashing 21 of its last 29 games and the Mariners have bounced back well off a loss nailing eight of their last 10. Take Seattle with listed pitcher Fernandez. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

Play on: Phillies (Martinez) over Mets
Liked the way the Phillies bounced back last night and they should continue rolling over the poor souls of the east with Pedro on the hill. Last time out, Martinez had an abbreviated stint, but did allow a first inning home run, still the Phillies went on to win. Seemingly has become a lucky ace for the hard charging Phillies who have Utley and Howard now responding in the dog days. Turn out the lights up in Citifield, early!
