King Creole

Free Pick

SFG / ARI Under 7.5

Analysis: Wednesday's FREE Over / Under WINNER from KING CREOLE:

10:15pm ET / Arizona Diamondbacks @ San Francisco Giants
Play on: UNDER the TOTAL

There's only THREE Major League Baesball UMPIRES who have gone "UNDER the TOTAL" in more than 70% of their games thus far in the long 2009 season. Those three Umpires are Andy Fletcher (7-17 O/U), John Hirschbeck (6-17 O/U), and Ted Barrett (7-17 O/U). BARRETT will be behind the dish in the Bay Area tonight in GAme Two of the D'Backs / Giants series. If you're looking for the "What have you done for me LATELY" department, check out Barrett's recent run: He's gone an impressive 1-9 O/U In his last 10 games dating back to late June. Average combined runs scored during that streak is only 6.3 runs per game. On GRASS fields, his YTD numbers are 5-16 O/U on the year (76% Unders). He's also gone 1-6 O/U on Wednesdays.

In this "Lefty vs Lefty" starting pitcher duel, we note that ARIZONA is hitting only .193 in their last 10 games vs southpaws... while SAN FRAN isn't hitting much better at only .229. Despite last night's OVER, we note that this NL West series has still gone 4-10-1 O/U In the last 15 meetings... and 1-4 O/U IN San Francisco. With both teams having key offensive personel still on the shelf (Reynolds, Upton, Sandoval, Sanchez. Molina)... we'll play for an "UNDER"-whelming outcome

Larry Ness

LOS (-135) vs COL

Once upon a time in 2009, the Rockies trailed the Dodgers by 15 1/2 games. However, last night's 5-4 Colorado win (10 innings) drew the Rockies to within two games of Los Angeles in the NL West. The 72-54 Rockies are now 18 games over .500 for the first time in club history. While the Rockies are averaging 6.4 runs over their last 16 games (12-4 record), the Dodgers have lost 11 of their 19, scoring three runs or less 11 times. It's tough to step in front of Colorado right now but I love the way LA's Randy Wolf is pitching and I have no faith at all in Josh Fogg, who makes his first start of 2009 tonight for Colorado. While Wolf is just 8-6 on the year, that hardly tells the whole story. He's allowed three ERs or less in 19 of his 27 starts, including NINE of his last 11 (3.39 ERA on the season). Wolf has won his last three outings, allowing just nine hits and five ERs over 22.2 innings (1.99). As for Fogg, he pitched for the Rockies in 2007, the year the team surprised all by making the World Series. He spent last year in Cincinnati, going 2-7 with a dreadful 7.58 ERA in 22 appearances (14 starts). He opened the 2009 season in Colorado's minor league system but it should be noted that since being recalled on May 26, he's done an excellent job in long relief. He's allowed just 26 hits in 40 innings, while posting a 2.25 ERA. That being said, I don't trust him at all in the role of a starter (he's replacing Aaron Cook) and I'll back the red-hot Wolf.

Wunderdog Horse selections

SARATOGA Race #4 at 2:35 PM Eastern

Top pick: #1 (SANTANA SIX) - One of a pair of runners from trainer Nick Zito and they'll race uncoupled. Colt has been freshened-up since a sub-par effort in a stakes at Monmouth. Training well, has the best early speed and draws the rail. The top selection.​

<!--p-->

2nd pick: #6 (Hoophoe) - The second of the Zito duo broke his maiden here August 1st at this demanding 9 furlong trip. He's come-back to work fast and is a win candidate as he takes on winners for the first time.​

3rd pick: #2 (Guam Typhoon) - He finished a pace-setting 3rd here at this distance in a small stakes early in the meet. Consistent and lightly raced, he's a contender again today.​

WTF ??? the 6 horse is scratched and it's only a 5 horse field nice going wunderdog. I love how he states that the 2 horse is a contender again today ... it's a 2-1 ML chalk, not to mention its a 5 horse field. 200 or so races today and he picks this one

Sam Martin

Philadelphia Phillies at Pittsburgh Pirates

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.

Play on: Philadelphia

Anyone has tried his service?

Scott Rickenbach

Today’s Free Pick

GAME: Houston Astros @ St. Louis Cardinals Aug 26, 2009 8:15PM

PICK: under 7.5

REASON FOR PICK: Scott Rickenbach’s Free Pick Opinion Play for MLB Wednesday: UNDER the total in St Louis vs Houston @ 8:15 PM ET – Pineiro vs Oswalt – Yesterday’s 1-0 pitchers duel marked the sixth time in their last eight games that the Cardinals have stayed under the total. The Cards have held their opponents to just two runs or less in six of their last eight games but their own lineup has been held to only three runs or less in five of their last eight games. As for the Astros, they’ve stayed under the total in seven of their last nine games. Houston has been held to two runs or less in six of their last eleven games. The Astros have held their opponent to three runs or less in five of their last six games! In the Cardinals last eight games, they’ve reached double digits in hits just twice. In the other six games they averaged just five hits per game! The Astros have reached double digits in hits just three times in their last eleven games. In the other eight games, Houston averaged just 5.6 hits per game.

As you can see from the above, neither one of these clubs is hitting the ball very well right now. Additionally, these NL Central battles between the Astros and Cards have stayed under the total in 8 of their 10 match-ups this season. The games are also a stellar 26-13 to the under the last three seasons. Tonight’s pitching match-up should help add to this under trend! In Roy Oswalt’s last ten starts one was cut short by injury. In the other nine outings he produced seven quality starts. Also, he’s coming off of a very strong 7-inning shutout against the Diamondbacks where he allowed just three hits. As for Joel Pineiro of the Cardinals, he has a solid 2.97 ERA in five career starts against the Astros. Also, he’s got a sparkling 2.41 ERA at home this season and he’s held batters to a stellar .246 BAA at Busch Stadium. Look for him to come up with his 13th quality start in his last 14 outings tonight! Consider a small play on UNDER the total in St Louis on Wednesday night. Thanks for checking in here and best of luck always from Scott Rickenbach

WTF ??? the 6 horse is scratched and it's only a 5 horse field nice going wunderdog. I love how he states that the 2 horse is a contender again today ... it's a 2-1 ML chalk, not to mention its a 5 horse field. 200 or so races today and he picks this one

If you have ever looked at his racing selections, this is what he always gives out. A short field, and a horse that is 2-1. Going out on a limb there....

WEDNESDAY'S 30 DIME MLB WINNER ... 30DIME -- MARLINS (with Josh Johnson) on the RUN LINE over Mets (with Mike Pelfrey)

NOTE: This is a run-line release, meaning we're laying the 1 1/2 runs with Florida. Florida must win this game by at least two runs, and both Josh Johnson for the Marlins and Mike Pelfrey for the Mets must start this game or there is "no action"

As always, be sure to shop around and get the best of the number! Never lay more on a favorite than you have to or take back less than you can on an underdog!

LISTEN GUYS,

I sent you an email last Saturday
with the OVER in the Detroit Lions...
* They had 20 points in the first
quarter...which was what we expected...
* Both teams were airing it out...
which our information from the practice
facilities was right on the money.
* But The Lions failed to score after
having the ball inside the 30 yd line
three times with less than 2nd down
and could not score.

WAS OUR INFORMATION ACCURATE?
YES - it certainly was - but the
game did fail to cover, which is the bottomline!

So I am sending you tremendous
information we acquired tonight in MLB.
DO NOT TAKE THESE 3 Game lightly!
I know I did not win the last game
I sent you...but it wasn't like we were
not on the right side...and I am not perfect!

But after you CASH TONIGHT on:
8:10ET Baltimore / Minnesota OVER 10
3:35ET Detroit / Anaheim OVER 9.5
7:10ET White Sox / Boston OVER 10

Reconsider joining the #1 Service
out here in Vegas for the past 8 years!

I know you get alot of emails...
I am aware you may have dealt
with your share of services...
But HONESTY and WINNING NUMBERS
make me the most respected guy
out here in Vegas the past 20 years!

Some of you have seen me in person...
Some of you have followed my emails...
Some of you are getting this the first time..

Remember, Talk is cheap
in the sports information business...
so that is why I want to reach out again
to all serious players and fill
your pockets with some cash!

DON'T MISS THIS EASY 3-0 TONIGHT:
8:10ET Baltimore / Minnesota OVER 10
3:35ET Detroit / Anaheim OVER 9.5
