Easy winner last night on Texas-New York OVER the total. Now 24-10-1 the last 35 days with our comp play selections.
Afternoon action at the Big "A" today, we will look for the slumping Angels to avoid the broom at home against the Tigers.
Detroit has won the first 2 games of this 3 game set between division leaders, and while Edwin Jackson certainly rates the edge of Joe Saunders, we have to believe that Los Angeles is about due for a bust-out victory.
LA has dropped 3 straight, and 5 of their last 6, but the fact remains they are still 36-24 at home this year, while Detroit is still just 27-38 on the road this season.
In fact, Detroit is just 6-14 their last 20 on the highway, and prior to this season, the the Tigers were just 2-6 in their last 8 visits to Anaheim.
Play on the Angels to avoid the sweep.

Detroit Tigers vs. LAA Angels
Play: Total: Over 9.5/-104
FLA -1.5: FLA is a must win scenario they can't afford to fall any further behind COL in the wildcard race. Today they send Johnson to the mound and hoper there ace is ready to dominate. He's 6-0 with a 2.05 ERA in eight starts against the METS, including a 3-0 mark and 1.63 ERA in four outings at Land Shark Stadium. On the other hand Pelfrey goes for NYM and he looks to turn around a rough road record. The right-hander has struggled through 10 road starts, going 4-5 with a 5.93 ERA. He has an 8.33 ERA while losing his last three. Pelfrey is 1-5 with a 5.36 ERA in nine starts against the Marlins. When it comes to lineups FLA is far superior to NYM and lets hope they keep up the hot bats, if they do R/L will be no problem. SCORE FLA 5 - NYM 1

LA ANGELS with Saunders (-109) over Detroit at 3:35 PM EST
Detroit has quietly won four straight in this series including two in a row at LA. Rest assured, the Halos will come to play on Wednesday afternoon.
Returning to the Los Angeles starting rotation will be veteran southpaw Joe Saunders. The Angels welcome back Saunders off a two-week stint on the DL and they're hoping his wing has successfully healed. Before needing a few weeks to rest a sore shoulder, Joe had pitched well in his own backyard allowing 37 earned runs and 78 hits in 72.0 innings of work. That breaks down to a 4-3 overall record and a respectable 4.62 ERA. With No. 51 on the hill, the Halos have been very good cashing 58 of their last 86 overall including 25 of their last 33 provided they check in off a straight up loss.
Detroit will counter with right hander Edwin Jackson. In two starts against LAA this season, Jackson has been dominant allowing just four earned runs and 13 hits in 14.0 innings of work. Respect is certainly given to those two performances. However, it will be extremely difficult for Edwin to hold down the Halos high octane offensive attack a third time. To make matters worse, No. 36 hasn't had his best stuff lately. In his last three starts, Jackson has been tagged for nine earned runs and 24 hits in 16.0 frames. That adds up to a lofty 5.06 ERA!
Technically speaking, the Tigers have been at their worst on foreign soil posting a dismal 6-14 record in their last 20 games. Meanwhile, the Halos have been tough to beat after dropping the first two games of a series notching a stellar 24-7 record in game three situations. A solid effort from Saunders combined with some reliable bullpen work will key this victory. Take the LA Angels with listed pitcher Saunders. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

Baltimore Orioles at Minnesota Twins
Two struggling pitchers meet tonight in Minnesota, where once again homefield advantage will be the deciding factor. Baltimore is a hideous 19-42 as a road dog this year and has lost 33 of its last 49 games overall. The Twins are more than 30 games over .500 in this building over the last three seasons and they are red hot right now with wins in seven of their last eight. Starter Blackburn is much more effective at home as well.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Total 9½ ov-105
Cincinnati and Milwaukee put up 14 runs last night, 12 before the game went to extra innings, and we should see more of the same tonight. The Reds had scored a total of six runs in a four-game span before putting up 12 runs over the last two games as the offense looks to be finally hitting against. As for the Brewers, they have averaged a healthy 6.8 rpg over their last five games. Aaron Harang was supposed to be in this spot but he is out for the season after going through an emergency appendectomy this past weekend. His spot will be taken by Kip Wells who is making his first start in over a year when he was with the Rockies. Wells has pitched out of the bullpen all season and he has been far from effective. He has a 5.91 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 26 appearances between Washington and Cincinnati. His last stint as a starting pitcher was not good as he put up a seven-spot in just one-third of an inning and his last six starts going back to 2007, he has posted an 11.03 ERA and 2.75 WHIP covering only 23.2 innings. Braden Looper has been hit or miss all season long. Only 11 of his 26 starts have been quality outings and that includes only five of his 14 starts at home. He is 11-6 on the season but that is a façade as he has a 4.95 ERA and 1.42 WHIP on the year. The reason for the lack of losses is due to solid run support as Milwaukee has given him 5.7 rpg on the entire season and that goes up in his more recent outings as the Brewers have plated 6.5 rpg over his last 11 outings with nine of those games going over the total which comes as no surprise. The ‘Over’ is 14-2 in the Brewers last 16 home games against a team with a losing record and the ‘Over’ is 5-1 in Looper’s last six starts against a team with a losing record. Looper is also on a 7-0 ‘Over’ run following a quality outing in his last start. 3* Over Cincinnati Reds/Milwaukee Brewers

Cole Hamels will take the ball for the Phillies, who had a ninth-inning rally last night against these Pirates only to blow it in the bottom of the ninth. Hamels will get the Phillies back on track against a Pittsburgh team that is only scoring 3.6 runs per games against southpaws, and improve Philadelphia’s 18-7 mark against NL Central opponents. Good luck - Sam Martin.

Over his last 8 starts San Francisco's starting pitcher Jonathon Sanchez has pitched very well. Sanchez is 3-2 with a 3.09 ERA and 0.94 WHIP during that span and has struck out 53 batters in 46 Innings. Arizona's starting pitcher Doug Davis has pitched okay, but he walks way too many batters. His lack of control gets him into trouble and he has a very small margin of error with his team facing the lefty Sanchez. Arizona is only 3-14 in their last 17 road games against a left-handed starter and 0-7 is Davis' last seven road starts against a team with a winning record. The Giants are 7-2 in their last 9 home games against a left-handed starter and have won five out of the last seven meetings with the Diamondbacks. Play on San Francisco.

GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies Aug 26, 2009 8:40PM
PICK: Los Angeles Dodgers -130
REASON FOR PICK: Los Angeles Dodgers (Wolf) – over @Colorado Rockies (Fogg) 7:40 PM
Randy Wolf only has eight wins on the season and that includes picking up wins in each of his last three starts. Wolf has been on a great roll with only nine hits allowed in his last three starts and for the season he has pitched much better than his record suggests. Wolf owns a 3.39 ERA and nearly a 3:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Despite Wolf’s mediocre record, the Dodgers are 17-10 when he starts and his road ERA is just 3.01 with a 1.08 WHIP. Over the last ten games the Dodgers bullpen has gotten back on track as well featuring a 1.19 ERA.
Colorado could letdown following a huge series win against the Giants capped off with a 14-inning dramatic win on Monday. The Rockies may be hyped for the opener of this series but this could be a much tougher follow-up following the intensity of the past several games. Josh Fogg has strong numbers as a long reliever this season but he has rarely pitched in meaningful situations. Fogg has not made a start since last season when he bombed with the Reds, featuring a 7.58 ERA for the year. Starting against the division leading Dodgers will be a much different scenario than Fogg’s typical mop-up duty and he has not proved he is up to the challenge.
The Dodgers have already won ten games against the Rockies this season and Colorado is batting just .230 over the last ten games despite winning several big games. Los Angeles is 34-26 in road games this season 20-7 in Wolf’s last 27 starts as a favorite. Colorado’s bullpen will likely be called to duty early in this match-up and although the unit has had some success it will be a taxed group after playing a 14-inning game on the typical off-day Monday while the Dodgers rested.

Boston bats are ringing and Tim Wakefield makes his first start in over a month for Boston tonight when the Red Sox and White Sox play Game 3 of their four-game series.
I’ve never been crazy about backing a pitcher who is coming off a lengthy stint on the disabled list and today will be no different.
Tim Wakefield makes his first start in more than a month as the Red Sox host the White Sox. The 43-year old knuckleballer is back after suffering from lower back and leg problems. Those are the types of injuries that are tough on young pitchers but are magnified when you’re the age of Wakefield.
Wakefield comes in with a season record of 11-3 and an ERA of 4.31. His career numbers against Chicago are less than impressive. He’s 7-11 with a 5.11 ERA but has won three of his last four starts against the ChiSox.
The White Sox will send Gavin Floyd to the hill as he looks to improve on his 10-8 record and 3.98 ERA. Floyd is 2-0 with a 5.74 ERA lifetime against the Red Sox.
Boston has taken the first two games of this four-game series by scores of 12-8 and 6-3. The Red Sox are 9-0 to the Over when favored, 11-1 to the high side when favored and 14-2 to the over when favored. Over their last 10 games the Boston pitching staff has been rocked. Their ERA is 6.47 and opposing batters are feasting to the tune of an even .300 average. During that stretch the over is an impressive 7-3. The White Sox have actually pitched better over that same period (4.12 ERA) but their hitting just .259.
I’m banking on both bullpens being a little tired heading into tonight’s game. With Wakefield on a pitch count tonight we could see the Red Sox sooner rather than later.
Boston still leads the wild card race by 1.5 over Texas while Chicago has lost three straight to drop into a second place tie with the Twins. Both teams are 4.5 games behind the front-running Tigers.
Wakefield will be rusty and likely give up a few runs early. The key will be Floyd and the Red Sox ability to get to him. I say ride the strong trend: When favored Boston has been favored they’ve been a pretty reliable Over machine.

Both the Giants and Diamondbacks have been terrible vs. left-handed pitching over the last 10 games, not that Jonathan Sanchez and Doug Davis need much help in their current forms.
p>Jonathan Sanchez of the San Francisco Giants has always had good stuff, but he has finally gained some consistency lately. Meanwhile, Doug Davis of the Arizona Diamondbacks had been pitching well until his last start, and he is fully capable of bouncing back vs. this Giants offense.
Sanchez gained national notoriety by tossing a no-hitter July 10, but the real story has been that he has allowed three runs or less in six of his eight starts beginning with that no-no, including four of his last five outings. He has been downright nasty his last two efforts, allowing a total of two earned runs and only six hits with 15 strikeouts in 12 innings. Perhaps most importantly, Sanchez has allowed one run and five hits in 12.1 innings his last two starts vs. Arizona.
As for Davis, he had allowed two runs or less in five consecutive starts before getting touched up for five earned runs in five innings by the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies in his last start. Davis has allowed two runs or less in four if his last five starts vs. the Giants though, and it also helps his cause that San Francisco is batting only .229 vs. southpaws over the last 10 games.
In fact, the Diamondbacks have been even worse vs. lefties the last 10 games at .193, so we look for the pitchers to dominate in this battle of southpaws.

It's getaway day in Anaheim as the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels conclude their three-game series with a strong matchup on the mound.
Our Wednesday afternoon MLB selection is on the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels staying under the total at the Big A in Anaheim.
This series just could be a preview of a playoff matchup as Detroit is likely to win the AL Central crown while the Angels are the leading candidate to take home the AL West title. However if the Angels hope to go much beyond the AL playoffs and make another serious run at the World Series (they won it all in 2002), then they will need lefthanded veteran Joe Saunders to come back from his shoulder problems and pitch like the ace he was for them last season when he won 17 games and had a 3.41 ERA.
This is a critical start for Saunders as he is coming back from his DL stint to start his first game since August 7, and he was in a serious slump before going down. But all indications are that he is recovered and ready to go as his bullpen sessions have been "exceptional" according to manager Mike Scioscia.
Speaking of exceptional, that's a perfect word to describe Tigers starter Edwin Jackson this season. Jackson has done everything his team could have hoped for, going 10-5 with a 2.86 ERA and the seven-year veteran shows no signs of slowing down.
Jackson had a complete game gem against the Angels already this season back on June 6 in a game that ended with a 2-1 Detroit victory and the Tigers would be more than happy if he could duplicate that performance on the road this afternoon. Take the Under.

Bonus Play winner from the G-Man last night as Tampa Bay-Toronto sail OVER the total.
I like the OVER tonight between Texas and New York, as the teams combined for 19-runs last night, and as well as Derek Holland has been pitching of late, the Yankees did get to him for 5 runs in 5 innings back at the end of May at Arlington.
Andy Pettitte allowed 5 runs in his last start at Boston, and his home ERA is still a bloated 4.83 for the season.
Texas is on a 5-2-1 OVER run their last 8 games, while the Yankees have played HIGH in their last 4, and 6 of their last 8 games overall.
In 4 series meetings in the Bronx, 3 of them have eclipsed the posted price.
More of the same tonight, as the Rangers and Yankees climb OVER the total.
1? OVER
Bonus Play winner from the G-Man last night as Tampa Bay-Toronto sail OVER the total.
I like the OVER tonight between Texas and New York, as the teams combined for 19-runs last night, and as well as Derek Holland has been pitching of late, the Yankees did get to him for 5 runs in 5 innings back at the end of May at Arlington.

GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies Aug 26, 2009 8:40PM
PICK: Colorado Rockies
REASON FOR PICK: The Colorado Rockies continue to surge and are playing some great baseball at the moment and are 18 games above 500 on the season, and have knocked 13 and half games off their competitors ( LA Dodgers) lead since June 3rd and are now just 2 games behind. I know the Rockies will replace starter Aaron Cooke with long reliever Josh Fogg tonight, but he has pitched admirably since getting recalled back in late May allowing just 26 hits in 40 innings of work. I expect Foog will do just enough vs a LA Dodgers team that is in a big time funk since the all star break ranking 19 out of 30 teams in offense, which is high lighted behind Manny Ramirez light hitting since returning to the majors from a drug suspension. It must be noted that the Dodgers have lost 11 of their L/19 games, and have scored three runs or less 11 times. The Rockies continue to find ways to win behind a clutch hitting offense that is averaging 5.9 RPG at home in 2009 and I like them at a value price against any pitcher the Dodgers offer up including tonights starter Randy Wolf..... Play on Colorado Rockies
