L.A. Dodgers at N.Y. METS +140

Tonight, I'm handing you a FREE winner with the Mets as they host the Dodgers in their series finale from new Citi Field in New York.

The Mets ended a four-game losing streak to the Dodgers on Wednesday and they snapped a four-game losing streak with the 5-4 victory. Look for them to make it two in a row with Livan Hernandez (5-4, 4.56 ERA) on the hill in New York tonight.

Hernandez has a 3.43 ERA at home this season and even though the Mets have lost his last five outings, he's pitched well, holding the opposition to three earned runs or less in three of the five. Last time out at home he gave up three runs on three hits in seven innings to the Yankees. He pitched extremely back on May 20 when he faced these Dodgers in Los Angeles, allowing just one run in seven innings but his offense let him down and the Mets lost 2-1. He's held the Dodgers to one earned run in four of his last six outings against them.

Left-hander Randy Wolf (3-3, 3.49 ERA) is going for the Dodgers, who have lost two of his last three outings, both on the road.

New York had crushed left-handed pitching this season, hitting .299 as a team against southpaws and hitting .307 at home against lefties. Also, the Mets are 8-3 in their last 11 meetings with the Dodgers in New York and they are 13-6 in their last 19 Thursday contests.

I love the Mets to get the easy win tonight.

3? N.Y. METS

L.A. Dodgers at N.Y. METS

Lay the run line with the Dodgers tonight, as Randy Wolf comes in after another quality start for the Dodgers, against the Padres. Of course, he’s becoming the no-decision pitcher of the year this season, as he notched his 12th no-decision of the year.

But as long as he’s pitching well enough to win, and keeping the front-running Dodgers in position to win ball games, I like my shot with Wolf. He allowed one run on four hits in six innings against San Diego, while he struck out eight without issuing a walk.

And keep this in mind, he knows his opponent well after spending time with the Phillies. Known as a Mets killer from his days in Philly, he rides in with an 11-5 lifetime mark against New York (6-1 at Shea Stadium), including 2-0 last season.

He’ll do much better than Livan Hernandez, who lost his third successive start while the Mets lost for the fifth time in his last five starts last Friday night against the Phils. He gave up 10 hits, four walks and, for the second time this season, seven runs.
Lay the run line with the Dodgers tonight, as they’ll roll to an easy win over New York.

1? L.A. DODGERS -1.5

Florida Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks

Prediction: Florida Marlins

The Diamondbacks are 0-13 since May 04, 2008 as a dog after a win in which they allowed 6 or fewer hits. The Marlins are 7-0 when their line is within 20 cents of pickem vs a team that has won at least their last two games.

Consider playing on Florida.

Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago White Sox

Chicago White Sox -1½+171
Two years ago, the Indians looked like an up-and-coming team with CC Sabathia, and Fausto Carmona leading them to a playoffs series win over the Yankees. It has been all downhill since. Sabathia is gone, and Carmona appears to have been a one-year wonder. The Indians have subsequently lost more games by two runs or more than anyone else in the American League, as they simply can't out hit their weak pitching. The Tribe is just 14-27 on the road and David Huff has allowed 3+ runs in eight of his 10 starts, not getting past the fifth inning in seven of them, which means a lot of work for an exasperated bullpen, which hasn't done the job all season. The White Sox are 13-4 in their last 17 games, and playing their best baseball of the season.

I'm fading the Tribe here and going with the White Sox on the runline.

Thursday's Comp Selection

12-7 Comp Winners

12-7 (63%) Comp Run after the Yanks/Twins Under yesterday. Take the Under 9 between the Washington Nationals @ Houston Astros (Thursday @ 8:05pm). There were 20 runs scored between these two teams in a suspended game yesterday. I can't imagine that much offense being laid out today with both of these pitchers. For starters, this is a high line for both of these teams given their offensive production this year. Washington is 20th in the league in runs and Houston is 25th. Lannan has put forth 6 straight quality starst for the Nationals and despite the fact his team has an abysmal record, he actually has a winning record as he is 6-5 with a 3.45. The young man from Sienna College looks like he is putting it together as the seasoning he has done in Washington is paying off. Not only do I expect him to pitch well today but I think overall, next year, he is going to have a breakout year similar to what Jurrjens is doing with the Braves this year. Ortiz had a horrendous start in San Fran where he gave up 8 runs in in less than 6 innings and I expect him to have a bounce-back today. He had put together 4 straight quality starts and given that he comes back home after such an outing, he should have a strong effort today. The Under is 7-0 when Lannan is a road underdog and the under is 6-1-3 when the Astros are favored of late.

San Diego Padres (260)

San Diego @ San Francisco 10:15 PM EST

San Diego (Geer/Lincecum) Listed

San Diego is 9-6 this year when the total is 7 or less. San Francisco is only 5-6 this year when the total is 7 or less. San Diego is 6-2 overall vs San Francisco this year. Josh Geer is 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA overall vs San Francisco since 1997. Geer has a 3.72 ERA his last 3 starts. I feel like this will be a very low scoring game giving us good value with the 3 to 1 underdog here tonight.

We'll recommend a small play on San Diego tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky
