San Francisco Giants vs. Oakland Athletics San Francisco Giants

Free Play for June 23, 2009
1 Unit on San Francisco Giants -120
We cashed in with the A's on the premium side last night, but I'll take the Giants to bounce back in Game 2 behind ace Tim Lincecum. Lincecum is 6-2 on the season with an ERA of just 2.72. He has been even better of late, posting an ERA of just 1.85 over his last 3 starts. And he has had Oakland's number, going 2-0 when starting against the A's with an ERA of 1.33 in his career. The Giants are an impressive 8-2 in their last 10 games following a loss while the Athletics are 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win and 1-6 in their last 7 interleague games as an underdog. A's rookie Vin Mazzaro has been solid, but he's no Tim Lincecum. In fact, he has already been outdueled by Lincecum once already this season. Bet the Giants for 1 unit here.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays Tampa Bay Rays
-1½+125 at BOOKM

This game is a total mismatch as PHI has lost 6 games in a row verse Tampa Bay who has won 7 of last 10 games. Even worse for Philly tonight Dwight Howard looks questionable at best. They turn to the oldest starting pitcher in the league Moyer who has been roughed up the last two starts for 9 runs in 12 1/2 innings. For TB there young stud pitcher Price toes the mound after a rough start on the road in COL last time out. But at home he has been great going 9 innings only giving up 2 runs. At home this TB team scores a ton and with Moyer's propensity to give up HR's think TB will win R/L easy. SCORE TB 7 - PHI 2

Kansas City Royals vs. Houston Astros Kansas City Royals
-135 at BETUS 8:05.

Take the Kansas City Royals on the Moneyline, The Royals have the superior pitcher on the mound tonight with Zack Greinke (8-3, 1.96 ERA) and the Royals have put up 5 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games. The Royals are 0-4 in Greinke's last 4 starts but I look for them to get the win tonight on the road since Greinke should have plenty of run support. Russ Ortiz (3-2, 3.60) takes the mound for the Astro's and he gave up 7 hits and 3 earned runs including 2 long balls in his last outing which was against the Texas Rangers. The Astro's are just 3-13 in their last 16 games when playing after an off day and they are just 1-5 in their last 6 interleague games when playing a team with a losing record. The Astro's are just 8-20 in their last 28 games in game 1 of a series and the Royals are 5-1 in Greinke's last 6 starts in game 1 of a series. The Astro's are just 8-18 in their last 26 games as a underdog of +110 to +150 and they are just 7-16 in their last 23 games against an AL Central opponent. Take the Kansas City Royals as my MLB Free Play for Tuesday night.
