Does anyone know which services toutbuster.com fades? they release 1 or 2 fades every day and win consistently but never disclose which service picks they are fading. to my inquiry they said they dont release that info because they dont want those services shutting them down. does anyone know which services they fade? coz if i know that, i could just get those service picks from daily serviceplay threads and fade it myself.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
Florida Marlins at Washington Nationals (+122, 8.5)
The Marlins should petition the league to play their NL East foe more often next year.
Florida is 9-1 against the Disaster in the District, beating Washington by an average of nearly three runs per win. And those numbers don’t even begin to tell how lopsided it’s been.
The Marlins are hitting .292 with 16 home runs and 23 doubles in just 10 games against the Nationals. Over the same span, Washingtion is hitting a horrendous .239 against Marlin pitching. On the mound, Florida hurlers have a 3.90 ERA to go with 92 strikeouts. Conversley, Nationals pitchers have a 6.90 ERA against the Marlins, including just 67 strikeouts against 42 walks.
The Marlins have a long way to go to claim the NL Wild Card, but a few more wins against the hapless Nationals will help.
Pick: Marlins -130
Arizona Diamondbacks at Pittsburgh Pirates (+107, 8.5)
The Diamondbacks are … streaking? You got it.
The team’s 7-3 mark the past 10 games is tied for the best in the majors. The Snakes appear to finally be blending their pop-gun hitting with above-average pitching. Arizona also is a much stronger play on the road (24-26) than at home (24-33), and has won four of its past five on an opponent’s field.
The reason for the team’s strong play away from home has been its pitching. The staff is 15th in the league in overall ERA (4.23), but has the major’s top mark in road ERA (3.59).
Against the Pirates this season, the Diamodbacks have gone 4-1, allowing just 14 runs and shutting them out a staggering three times.
Pick: Diamondbacks -115

Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
Streaking
Cliff Lee (Philadelphia Phillies)
Welcome to the National League, Cliff.
The reigning AL Cy Young winner had his full arsenal on display in his first start on the senior circuit, throwing a four-hit complete game in a 5-1 win over the Giants. Lee also struck out six against only two walks.
In his past six starts overall, he’s averaging about eight innings and allowing slightly less than two earned runs per start. Lee also has picked up a win in each of his past four outings, going the distance in three of them.
The past two seasons after the All-Star break, he is 14-1 with a 2.44 ERA.
"He was obviously phenomenal," Phillies catcher Paul Bako told the Associated Press. "Just catching him you get a better sense of how good Cliff really is. You can't get that sense on TV."
Derek Lowe (Atlanta Braves)
The veteran right-hander is back in the saddle.
Lowe (11-7, 4.21 ERA) had one of the worst stretches of his career in June, finishing the month with a 6.54 ERA. But he has won four of his past five outings and recorded a quality start each time. He still has just 72 strikeouts against 43 walks, but has issued just seven free passes the past 30 innings.
The Braves also are doing a great job of tempering Lowe’s workload down the stretch. He has cracked the 100-pitch mark only once in his past six starts.
"He goes after you,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said of Lowe. “I'm not saying that in a negative way. He's going to continue to be aggressive."
Slumping
Nick Blackburn (Minnesota Twins)
Opposing batters appear to have figured out the crafty right-hander.
A fly-ball pitcher, Blackburn (8-5, 3.83 ERA) has been getting hit all over the yard while he struggles to throw the ball past opposing hitters with his terrible, 58:30 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Last week, he gave up four runs on 12 hits in 6 2-3 innings. He's yielded 17 earned runs in his past 15 1-3 innings overall.
"I think I've been doing pretty good so far this year with mixing pitches up the second time [through the order],” Blackburn told reporters. “It's really frustrating. I'm kind of tired with what's going on."
John Smoltz (Boston Red Sox)
The 42-year-old quickly is reaching the end of his career.
Smoltz (2-4, 7.12 ERA) missed the beginning of the season due to arm surgery, but lacks the form that made him an elite starter and closer earlier in his career. In his most recent outing, a 6-5 win over the Orioles, he was hammered for five runs on eight hits over six innings, including two home runs. In his past 16 2-3 innings, he’s given up 17 earned runs.
"I was just grinding it out, just trying to find a way to get people out and keep us in the game," Smoltz said.

Cliff Lee (Philadelphia Phillies)
Welcome to the National League, Cliff.
The reigning AL Cy Young winner had his full arsenal on display in his first start on the senior circuit, throwing a four-hit complete game in a 5-1 win over the Giants. Lee also struck out six against only two walks.
In his past six starts overall, he’s averaging about eight innings and allowing slightly less than two earned runs per start. Lee also has picked up a win in each of his past four outings, going the distance in three of them.
The past two seasons after the All-Star break, he is 14-1 with a 2.44 ERA.
"He was obviously phenomenal," Phillies catcher Paul Bako told the Associated Press. "Just catching him you get a better sense of how good Cliff really is. You can't get that sense on TV."
Derek Lowe (Atlanta Braves)
The veteran right-hander is back in the saddle.
Lowe (11-7, 4.21 ERA) had one of the worst stretches of his career in June, finishing the month with a 6.54 ERA. But he has won four of his past five outings and recorded a quality start each time. He still has just 72 strikeouts against 43 walks, but has issued just seven free passes the past 30 innings.
The Braves also are doing a great job of tempering Lowe’s workload down the stretch. He has cracked the 100-pitch mark only once in his past six starts.
"He goes after you,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said of Lowe. “I'm not saying that in a negative way. He's going to continue to be aggressive."
Slumping
Nick Blackburn (Minnesota Twins)
Opposing batters appear to have figured out the crafty right-hander.
A fly-ball pitcher, Blackburn (8-5, 3.83 ERA) has been getting hit all over the yard while he struggles to throw the ball past opposing hitters with his terrible, 58:30 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Last week, he gave up four runs on 12 hits in 6 2-3 innings. He's yielded 17 earned runs in his past 15 1-3 innings overall.
"I think I've been doing pretty good so far this year with mixing pitches up the second time [through the order],” Blackburn told reporters. “It's really frustrating. I'm kind of tired with what's going on."
John Smoltz (Boston Red Sox)
The 42-year-old quickly is reaching the end of his career.
Smoltz (2-4, 7.12 ERA) missed the beginning of the season due to arm surgery, but lacks the form that made him an elite starter and closer earlier in his career. In his most recent outing, a 6-5 win over the Orioles, he was hammered for five runs on eight hits over six innings, including two home runs. In his past 16 2-3 innings, he’s given up 17 earned runs.
"I was just grinding it out, just trying to find a way to get people out and keep us in the game," Smoltz said.
Lady Luck: Today's WNBA best bets
Atlanta Dream at San Antonio Silver Stars (-4, 155)
The Dream have emerged as a legitimate contender for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. But to become elite, the team must learn to win on the road, where it has had the same, reoccurring nightmare this season.
Atlanta is just 3-7 away from home this year and has dropped five of its past seven on the road. The team’s most recent road win was a 98-95 victory over a floundering Shock squad. The seven losses in opponent’s gyms, however, have come by an average of fewer than six points per game.
Meanwhile, the Silver Stars have been playing great at home, winning six of nine overall, including their past two. San Antonio is led by MVP candidate Becky Hammon, who averages 20.9 points, 4.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
The Dream will keep it close, but the nightmare on the road continues.
Pick: Silver Stars
Seattle Storm at Los Angeles Sparks (+2.5, 136)
Despite losing five of seven games, Lisa Leslie believes the Sparks are close to returning to an elite status.
"I feel like we're really close to getting over that hump," Leslie, who recently returned from a seven-week absence due to injury, told the Associated Press. "I know we have the best rebounders in the world. We just have to commit to going to the boards every time."
And Los Angeles has dominated the boards against the Storm this season, out-rebounding them in two of their three meetings. But it has been Seattle that’s won the battle on the scoreboard two out of three times, winning once in overtime, once by a field goal and getting blown out by 27 in its only trip to the City of Angels.
The Storm has split their past two games overall with both going to overtime, but should have enough to make it three out of four against the Sparks.

Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Total
10 ov+102 at 5DIMES > 13h.
Over 10 BOS/NYY: Love the over today as both Boston and New York can hit the HR with the best of them. This new ballpark of the NYY is a magnet when it comes to Homeruns. Today BOS turns to Smoltz on the mound who has not been good since arriving midseason. Even worse news for BOS fans he has given up 6 HR's over last 3 games. On the other side the NYY turn to Chamberlin who has been great lately, but will be on a pitch count. Boston has very professional hitters who will make Joba throw strikes and he will only make it 5 innings allowing 3 runs. Once BOS gets to the bullpen that is when they can start the fireworks. This one will be a HR contest and easily get over 10 runs. EASY OVER 10 is the Bonus Play for today

Take "(967) TEXAS RANGERS"
It's been a very bad week for the Rangers, as they've dropped three in succession to the lowly A's. Texas needs to get some positive traction back by at least salvaging the getaway day finale, especially with the big series at Anaheim up next. Trevor Cahill has been fade material lately, so I'll give the nod to surprising Tommy Hunter and the Rangers here.

(955) ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
(956) PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Take "Under"
A pair of weak hitting offensive teams meet here: Arizona is 18th in the majors in runs scored, the Pirates are 25th. Arizona has a terrific young arm in Max Scherzer, who has fanned 115 in 111 innings with a 3.80 ERA. Arizona has not seen Pittsburgh righty Kevin Hart this season, and the kid has been good, wtih a 2.60 ERA and a 3-1 record. Don't look for many runs, play the D-Backs/Pirates Under the total.
