Tuesday Bonus Play 7:10 PM

MLB (971) OAKLAND ATHLETICS (972) NEW YORK METS

Take: (971) OAKLAND ATHLETICS -136

It’s always fun to scope an underdog that has a load of value and knowingly smile when it connects. But the money spends just the same when it’s a play that’s dominant on the numbers and plays out just like it’s supposed to. I’ll look for that to be the case tonight as the Athletics open a series with the Mets.

First, there’s just an overwhelming edge on the team data favoring Oakland. The A’s are the most complete team in the game and it’s really difficult to find any weaknesses. That clearly can’t be said for the Mets. I like the future for this team as they could well have the best staff in the entire game before too long. But for the time being, the Mets have to hope their pitching is on and that what can be a moribund offense does enough to give them a shot at winning.

Bartolo Colon is no snap to beat, as the pudgy veteran has proven he doesn’t have to be a physical specimen to produce impressive results. He’s definitely amusing, but the old pro can still get it to home plate in a hurry and there are few pitchers in the game with more consistently impressive command. The A’s will have their work cut out for them tonight at Citi trying to get the best of Colon.

But Colon will need to be at his best to win tonight, and that won’t be easy against this A’s lineup. Colon also comes out as the decided runner-up as far as the pitching matchup goes. That’s not a knock on Colon, merely an observation that indicates how well Scott Kazmir is throwing for Oakland.

Kazmir is a win machine. Going back to the end of last season, his team is now 15-2 when he takes the mound, and that’s no fluke. Kazmir has some superb numbers beyond the obvious and there’s no one in the game making that cash register ring better than Kazmir these days.

I did have a little concern regarding Kazmir going back a couple of starts. His two-seam velocity had declined a couple of ticks and not coincidentally, so had his swing and miss rate. Kazmir alleviated any concerns with his most recent outing, as he rocked right back to the 92-93 velocity and actually touched 95+ in the process. So any thoughts that there might be some fatigue setting in were summarily erased and it appears that all systems are go with the soon to be All-Star southpaw.

Another aspect that needs to be mentioned as it applies tonight is just how pathetic the Mets offense has been when facing lefties at home. They’re producing an ultra-meager 2.04 runs per nine innings at home vs. portsiders, and they’re facing one of the best around tonight.

Oakland at close to 7/5 odds is definitely not a bargain. There are no discounts when looking to back baseball’s best team. But be that as it may, they look like the right side in this duel, and I’m willing to back the A’s to get another win tonight.

MLB Comp Pick for Tuesday June 24, 2014: 8:05 PM

(953) CINCINNATI REDS VS (954) CHICAGO CUBS

Take: (953) CINCINNATI REDS

Reason: Your free pick for Tuesday, June 24th, 2014, comes in National League action as the Cubs and Reds meet in Wrigley Field. Cincinnati has quietly been putting it together, playing well this month. Starter Homer Bailey has helped lead the surge, with the team 5-1 his last six starts, plus 7-3 his last 10. He's already faced these light hitting Cubs once...and shut them out for 6 innings. The Reds are 47-19 when Bailey starts against a team with a losing record, plus 24-10 in Bailey's last 34 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. Chicago is ranked 26th in runs, 29th in on base percentage and 21st in slugging. The Reds are 6-1 in their last 7 road games vs. a right-handed starter and face righty Jake Arrieta. The Reds are 7-2 in their last 9 road games while the Cubs are 34-72 against a right-handed starter. The Reds are 50-20 in the last 70 meetings, including 21-6 in the last 27 meetings in Chicago. Play the Reds.

Boston Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners

Seattle Mariners +106

Seattle took the opener of this series last night behind another solid performance from Felix Hernandez. That victory made it four straight wins for the Mariners and also extended their home winning streak to four games. They are still under .500 at home on the season but they clearly have the momentum rolling to improve upon that. Boston meanwhile dropped to 1-4 on this current roadtrip and it is now eight games under .500 on the road for the season. Additionally, the Red Sox are 1-9 in their last 10 road games against teams with a losing home record. Yet, they come in as the favorite here despite that as well as not even having the starting pitching advantage. Jake Peavy is not having a good season as he has a 4.52 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 15 starts and he has just one win on the season. He has been involved in a lot of no decisions and they have not gone Boston's way as it is 5-10 in those games including 1-6 on the road. The Red Sox are 0-5 in Peavy's last five road starts against teams with a winning record. Seattle counters with Erasmo Ramirez and he too is having a tough year but that should not make him the home dog here in my opinion. While he has a 4.62 ERA overall, the damage has been on the road where his ERA is 5.23 but at home, it drops to 3.38. He has not won in three home starts as Seattle has given him little run support but he is pitching his best right now as he has gone three straight starts without allowing a run, covering 15.2 innings over that stretch.
