ON WEDNESDAY IN BASEBALL WE'LL PLAY THE TWINS ... Yesterday we were on the Tribe and Jake Westbrook, and scored the win. Tonight we play against them, and take the Twins over Cleveland.
It's one of those classic, late-season pitching matchups you simply don't want to miss. And though both have been similarly spot-on for their teams, I'll side with Johan Santana over C.C. Sabathia, as the former has been much more effective the past six weeks.
Santana has delivered quality starts in five of his last six outings, and he's back on form with some of his best stuff. Though Sabathia has produced eight of nine second-half starts in quality fashion, he's a modest 2-4 in that span due to the lack of run support.
Now the Tribe has to try to produce against Santana? I'll play the road pitcher in this duel.

UNDER reds/pirates

Game: Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Game Time: 8/29/2007 7:05:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on the Reds and Pirates to finish UNDER the total. The second game of yesterday's double-header finished with a 3-2 final and I'm expecting more of the same this evening. Both starters are capable of pitching very well and both come off "quality" starts in which they allowed only three runs through seven complete innings. The Pirates have seen the UNDER go 6-3 their last nine games. The UNDER is also a highly profitable 28-14 the last 42 times that they played a road game with an over/under line of either eight or 8.5. I'm expecting another relatively low-scoring affair this evening with the final combined score staying beneath the number.

HOUSTON

Game: St Louis Cardinals vs. Houston Astros Game Time: 8/29/2007 8:05:00 PM Prediction: Houston Astros Reason: I'm laying the price with HOUSTON. This should be a major pitching mismatch. Oswalt is a terrific 8-1 with a 2.17 ERA and 1.196 WHIP in 15 home starts while Wells is a dismal 3-8 (team is 3-9) with an ugly 6.36 ERA and 1.555 WHIP in 12 road starts. Oswalt is also 10-4 with a 3.04 ERA and 1.200 WHIP vs. the Cardinals. Note that in two starts against the Cards this season he has allowed only two runs in 16 innings. That's a 1.13 ERA! Conversely, Wells has allowed a whopping 12 runs in a mere 9 1/3 innings in his last two starts vs. the Cardinals. That's a 11.57 ERA! Note that Houston won those two games by a combined score of 21-3! Looking back further and we find that Wells is also a poor 4-8 with a 5.34 ERA and 1.494 WHIP over his career vs. the Cardinals. The Astros have always been strong as home favorites of this size, going 9-5 as home favorites in the -150 to -175 range this season and 32-16 (+6.5) the past three seasons. Look for Oswalt to outpitch Wells as the Astros bounce back from yesterday's shutout loss and earn their new manager his first victory. *Personal Favorite

Larry Ness 20* GOM| MLB Money Line

SEA (-125) vs 919 ANA
Analysis: I've lost with the Mariners the last two nights but I can't let that "get me off them," here! The Mariners are an excellent home team (41-26) and despite losses on Monday and Tuesday at Safeco Field, have still won more money at home (plus-$1,370) than any team in baseball. They will not be facing John Lackey in this one, who has thrown 24 scoreless innings at them in '07, but rather Jered Weaver. Weaver is not quite the pitcher he was last year (11-2, 2.56 ERA / Angels were 14-5), going 9-6 with a 3.96 ERA in 22 starts (team is 12-10!). His road ERA (4.48) is exactly one run higher than his home ERA (3.48) and he's 0-2 with a 6.85 ERA in his last four road starts (team is 0-4!). Weaver owns two dismal outings earlier this season against the Mariners (11 ERs and 21 hits in 10.2 innings) and while he was outstanding in his first two career starts against Seattle last season, he has a 9.41 ERA in the past three! The Mariners will counter with Felix Hernandez. Hernandez opened the '07 season 2-0, not allowing a run in 17 innings. He then spent a month on the DL and it took some time for him to re-find his "groove." He's found it though, as the team has won EIGHT of his 10 post-July 4 starts, including the last SIX, where Hernandez is 4-0 with a 3.60 ERA. The Mariners are 10-3 in his home starts this year and this "is the spot' to make a HUGE play on the Mariners! Getaway Day Game of the Month 20* Sea Mariner

Wedneday's Plays:

15 Dime –

REDS (With Harang as listed pitcher)
Take the Reds tonight at a near even price for the road win over the Pirates.
Aaron Harang will start for the Reds and I don’t see the Pirates getting through to him at all. The right-hander is 13-3 on the season, including 3-0 in his last four starts. He’s 2-0 with a 4.98 ERA in three starts against the Pirates this season, and 10-3 with a 4.32 ERA in 16 career starts.
Those are numbers that the Pirates just can’t stack up against.
Ian Snell will start for Pittsburgh and he is still trying to get on track after a disastrous start to the second half of the season. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA in three starts against the Reds this year, and 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA in six lifetime starts against them. Snell has lost two straight against the Reds.
Cincinnati was swept in their doubleheader against the Bucs last night, but Pittsburgh threw two left-handers against the Reds which neutralized the Reds’ best hitters, Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr.
Take the Reds as they grab the road win tonight behind Harang.

5 Dime –

MARINERS (With Weaver and Hernandez as listed pitchers)
Take the Mariners this afternoon as the small home chalk for the win over the Angels.
The success of the Angels against the Mariners this year really works to our advantage, as this pitching matchup greatly favors Seattle.
Trust me; this number would be a lot higher if Seattle had a bit more success against Los Angeles this year.
Felix Hernandez has won his last four decisions and is 4-0 in his last six starts. He is the unquestioned ace of the staff and I expect him to stop the M’s slide today with a strong outing.
The Angels will start Jered Weaver and he has been tagged by the Mariners this year. The right-hander has allowed 11 runs and 21 hits in just 10 2-3 innings this year against Seattle. He has a 9.41 ERA in his last three starts against Seattle. Weaver is also 0-2 with a 6.85 ERA in his last four road starts.
Take the Mariners as they avoid the sweep at the hands of the Angels with the home win.

DIAMONDBACKS (With Owings and Maddux as listed pitchers)
Take Arizona as a nice road dog for the win tonight over San Diego.
The storied career of Padres’ starter Greg Maddux doesn’t apply here, as he’s been awful against Arizona.
The right-hander is just 1-10 with a 5.28 ERA in 16 career starts against the Diamondbacks, and he’s 0-8 with a 6.58 ERA in his last 12. I’m not sure why Maddux has such difficulty with them, but the Diamondbacks are that much more attractive as an underdog against him.
Arizona will counter with Micah Owings and he pitched well against the Padres in his only career appearance against them on August 1. In that game, the right-hander didn’t receive a decision, but he pitched six innings and gave up only one run and four hits in Arizona’s 9-5, 11-inning win.
Take the Diamondbacks as the road dog for the win.

JIM FEIST

A key showdown in the AL West and this game means more for the home team, as they are also fighting for the Wild Card. Seattle goes with their ace Felix Hernandez, who is 2-0 with a 3.44 ERA his last three starts. He's fanned 18 in 18 innings in those starts. LA righty Jered Weaver is not as dominant as a year ago, as AL teams are getting their second and third looks at him. He has a 4.08 ERA his last three starts and a 9.28 ERA in 10 innings this season against Seattle. Play the Mariners

Game: Atlanta Braves at Florida Marlins Aug 29 2007 7:05PM

Prediction: Atlanta Braves

In a backwards kind of way, Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick might be the best thing that ever happened to the Braves. Normally around this time, there would be plenty of headlines surrounding the Braves and their fall from dominance in the NL East to - what is right now anyway - third place and out of the playoffs. But even with the recent release by the Braves of closer Bob Wickman, you'd be hard-pressed to find any mention of them on the front pages these days because of the unfortunate situation surrounding the Falcons and Vick. Will this propel Atlanta past the Mets and Phillies? Probably not. But a little distraction from their problems right now surely can't hurt. Without doubt, they made the deadline trade of the year, picking up 1b Mark Teixeira from the Rangers. Teixeira has been on fire since joining a playoff contender and if the Braves don't make it, there certainly will be no blame resting on his shoulders. Tonight they will face the lowly Marlins, who are so bad they are actually in jeopardy of slipping below the Nats and into last place in the division. Dontrelle Willis has been one of their biggest dissapointments so far and he has been significantly worse in his starts at home (3-8, 5.32 ERA) than on the road (5-5, 4.56 ERA). The Braves are 9-4 in their last thirteen games vs. the NL East and the Marlins are 9-24 in their last thirty three games overall. Take the Braves. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

We like a very low scoring game here as both C.C. Sabathia of Cleveland and Johan Santana of Minnesota have a better than 4 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio in their last 3 starts overall. That puts them in an Under System that is 65% this year. Both Sabathia and Santana have a better than 4 to 1 strikeout to walk in their last 3 starts against the teams their facing tonight. Sabathia has allowed just 4 runs total in 3 starts vs. the Twins this year. Santana has allowed 9 runs total in 4 starts vs. the Indians. 10* 'Total' of the Month Play On 'Under' (Sabathia vs. Santana)

7-Unit Play. Take #914 Houston (-160) over St. Louis (8 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29)
Note: This is our National League Game of the Year.

The thinking here is simple: Roy Oswalt is one of the best bets in baseball and he’s facing one of our favorite pitchers to fade, Kip Wells. Houston has won 12 of Oswalts last 14 starts and he has a career 61-19 record in Minute Maid Park. This line is about 35 cents light, so we’re getting fantastic value. The reason the line is so short is because Oswalt is coming off an oblique injury that he sustained on the 18th. Houston gave him an extra day of rest and after a side session over the weekend he was deemed more than ready to return. Well, Oswalt is 12-3 with a 2.74 ERA in his career with six or more days of rest. He has a winning record in his career against the Cardinals and boasts a 3.04 ERA in 21 appearances against them. Wells, on the other hand, is just 30-50 in his career on the road (37.5 percent) and is just 4-8 with a 5.03 ERA against the Astros in his career.

Houston is looking to get interim manager Cecil Cooper his first win and give their fans some reason to cheer in what has been a dismal season. I think an inspired win behind their ace, over a division rival that embarrassed them 7-0 the night before, will do just the trick.

4.5-Unit Play. Take #927 Detroit (-110) over Kansas City (8 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29)
1-Unit Play. Take #927 Detroit (-1.5, +140) over Kansas City (8 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29)
Last night the Tigers outhit the Royals 16-6 yet lost 6-3. Detroit lost as a favorite despite their strong performance at the plate and I look for them to redeem themselves today against Zack Greinke. There’s a reason K.C. moved Greinke to the bullpen, and I think it had to do with the fact that they were 1-6 in his starts this year and 6-16 inhis last 22 starts overall. He did perform well against the Indians last week, but he only went three innings.

Kansas City is just 32-77 at home against left-handed starters – a 71 PERCENT BET AGAINST TREND – and after picking up a win against Nate Robertson last night I don’t think they get a second victory against Andrew Miller today. Detroit is just 2-6 in the second of back-to-back games against a left-handed starter over the past two years, and 1-3 in their last four instances.

4-Unit Play. Take #907 Cincinnati (-110) over Pittsburgh (7 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29)
Aaron Harang has been one of our favorite pitchers to back this year and he has been one of the most profitable arms in the Majors. I think he comes through again for us as the Reds bounce back after getting swept in a doubleheader yesterday. Harang is 10-3 in his career against the Pirates and has won 61 percent of his 56 road decisions in his career.

The Reds had been playing light’s out baseball (9-3) but yesterday they ran into their Kryptonite: left-handed pitching. Today they get a crack at Ian Snell, who has lost seven of his last nine starts and has an ERA of 6.11 since July 13. Snell hit the same wall last year, surrendering four or more runs in seven of his last 11 starts last season. The Reds lit up Snell for six runs and 10 hits in five innings earlier this month, and I look for more of the same today.

2-Unit Play. Take ‘Under’ 11.0 New York Mets at Philadelphia (7 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29)
Note: I do endorse a play at 10.5.

This number is way too high for an Ed Rapuano game. Rap is 8-16 against the total this season, 22-35 over the past two seasons, and he has hit on the ‘under’ in 12 of his last 17 games. He’s seen an average of just 7.92 runs in his 24 games behind the dish this year and tonight he’ll be giving those generous corners to a pair of pitchers that need it: Oliver Perez and Jamie Moyer. Moyer has a 2.88 ERA in 12 starts against the Mets and Perez gave up just one run in six innings in his only start in Philly. I think this will be another closely played, nip-tuck affair.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #917 Toronto (-145) over Oakland (3:55 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29)
The Blue Jays kill left-handed pitching and Roy Halladay is 47-19 in day games. Lenny DiNardo has been solid during the day, with a 2.55 ERA in 35.1 innings. But he has a 6.60 ERA over the past six games, 5.00 in the last five, and 5.40 in his last three. Roy Halladay has been dealing lately, hurling three complete games in his last seven outings. He is 5-2 in those outings with a 2.42 ERA over his last eight starts. He is 3-0 with a 2.38 ERA in day games and 2.08 ERA in his last three.

That's it for today. Good luck.

Scott Spreitzer's MLB Afternoon Absolute Blowout! *102-64, 61%!
My Afternoon release is a play on the Blue Jays with Halladay over the A's and Dinardo. Roy Halladay hasn't always dominated the A's in his career, but this is the weakest situation he has probably ever seen them in. Oakland averages just 3.3 RPG in home day games against righties. And, Halladay has been outstanding under the sun. In six day starts this season, the righthander owns a 2.38 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and .208 BAA. Meanwhile, the Jays are smacking lefties in road day games for over 8 RPG! Look for Toronto to get the job done behind a strong effort from Halladay. The Jays are my Afternoon Beatdown. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Scott Spreitzer's MLB Getaway Day Game of the Week! (Swept Last Night!)
My Getaway Day Game of the Week is a play on the Mariners. Seattle is looking to snap their skid and they have the matchup needed to do so. The Mariners are a healthy 10-5 and average over 5 RPG in home day tilts against righthanders. Today, they'll take on Jered Weaver, a righty that's been seriously bounced around in his last two road starts, including a whipping at the hands of Seattle at Safeco. Weaver is not as dominant as he was last season. Teams have gotten their looks at him, and after seeing him twice in person this summer, I've noticed his time between pitches has grown way too long. The righty is allowing a .292 BAA away from home and in three career starts at Safeco, he's allowed 12 earned runs and 30 base runners in just 17 2/3 IP! That's an incredibly weak 6.11 ERA & 1.70 WHIP to go along with a .329 BAA! Felix Hernandez counters. The Ms are 16-7 in his 23 outings, including six straight wins. The righty owns a 3.60 ERA during the run along with a 1.20 WHIP. The Angels are scoring an average of just 3.5 RPG in road day games against righties. I don't expect that to be nearly enough on Wednesday. The Mariners are my Getaway Day GOW. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Lenny Del Genio's 15* Getaway Day Game of the Week (12-5 since Aug 6!)
Play on the Mariners at 4:35 ET. The Angels have taken the first two games of this three-game set, opening a four-game lead in the West and have now won 10 of the 14 meetings this year. Lackey shut Seattle out Monday night and then last night, after the Mariners got five runs off of Santana in the first (Santana recorded just ONE out!), the Angels came back to win, 10-6. Do the Mariners have anything left this afternoon? Why not? The Angels are still just 34-34 on the road and Seattle remains one of MLB's best home teams (41-26). As for the starting pitchers today, the edge goes to Seattle. Jered Weaver has not been performed up to his rookie year standards (11-2, 2.56 ERA) for the Angels, going 9-6 with a 3.96 ERA. His road ERA (4.48) is a full run higher than his home ERA (3.48) and in two starts this year versus Seattle, he's been hit hard. The second-year pitcher has allowed 21 hits and 11 ERs in just 10 2-3 innings, for a 9.28 ERA. Meanwhile, Seattle will send its ace, Felix Hernandez. The Mariners are 8-2 in his last 10 starts and are 10-3 in his 13 home starts in '07. Seattle avoids the home sweep here and is my 15* Getaway Day Game of the Week.
