| MLB | Jul 29 Cleveland Indians vs. LAA Angels | Total 9½ ov+100 at JAMAICA | |
| At 3:35pm our complimentary selection is on the Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Angels 'over' the total. Whatever the hitters on the Indians have been drinking on the road lately, as long as it's not illegal, the team must feel like there's hopefully more from wherever it came from. In every game of this current road trip except the first one, the Tribe has scored at least five runs and they've scored a total of 58 runs in the first eight games heading into this ninth, and final game of their road trek. Today's starter for Cleveland, righthander Aaron Laffey must be feeling pretty good as he just came off of his best start of the season and he's no doubt noticed how many runs his offense has been scoring lately. Still, heading into Southern Cal to play arguably the best team in the American League can be a daunting task, and it's not like Laffey has a history of success against this team as in two career starts he is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA. That includes the final game of the 2008 season, also played in Anaheim, where Laffey's opposing pitcher was the same as it is this afternoon: veteran righthander John Lackey. The balls were flying everywhere in that one, as L.A. finally prevailed by a 14-11 margin. Lackey's actually been worse at home this season than on the road, and while it's unlikely these two teams will score 25 runs this afternoon, considering the over is 19-5-1 in the Angels last 25 home games, it could get a little crazy. Take the 'over.' As always, good luck...Al McMordie. Al McMordie is ON ABSOLUTE FIRE! Since the All-Star Break, Big Al is a SWEET 14-2-1, and last night drilled the books with the Seattle Mariners over Toronto. Now, for Wednesday, Al's STEPPING OUT with this Totals play in Major League Baseball. Go get it. | ||
| MLB | Jul 29 Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers | Total 8½ un-110 at SPBOOK | |
| Craig had his first winless day since the all star break going 0-2 yesterday. The good news is that Craig is still an unbelievable 23-6 since the break. Today's 5 star Winner will be an easy winner with his 5 star TWILIGHT MLB Winner which are 3-1 on the season for Craig. Now lets get back today with a free total for Wednesday! DET/TEX under 8.5: DET and TEX have both been two of the best under teeams on the season. Detroit has gone Under is 21-7 last 28 road games and Texas is under 8 of last 10 games! Texas has been winning games but not by scoring a ton of runs and today they will struggle against ace Verlander for DET. Verlander has only given up 2 runs in last 23 runs. Good thing for TEX is they have a very tough piture Feldman who has only given up 6 runs in last 4 starts in over 26 innings. Detroit has struggled scoring runs lately only scoring over 3 runs in last 10 games. Not sure if this one gets above 4 runs between these teams. UNDER 8.5 is the play! | ||

| MLB | Jul 29 Kansas City Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles | Kansas City Royals -136 at SPBOOK | |
| Take the Kansas City Royals on the Moneyline, We are getting solid value here Wednesday night with one of the best pitchers in baseball on the mound going against Chris Tillman who makes his Major League debut. Tillman has pitched great for Triple-A Norfolk with an ERA of just 2.70 over 18 starts but that was in Triple-A. Zack Greinke (10-6, 2.04 ERA) has pitched solid this season and he just limited a very potent Texas Rangers line-up to 1 earned run and 3 hits over 7 innings while striking out 10 batters. Greinke has an ERA of just 2.25 over his last 3 starts and he allowed just 1 earned run earlier this season against the Orioles over 7 innings. The Royals are 5-1 in Greinke's last 6 starts against a team with a losing record and the Orioles are just 1-7 in their last 8 games. Take the Kansas City Royals as my MLB Free Play for Wednesday night. Vernon Croy's Massive 21-11 MLB Run continues Wednesday Afternoon with his Huge MLB Total of the Week so make sure you get on it now along with his other top MLB plays for Wednesday. | ||
| MLB | Jul 29 Detroit Tigers vs. Texas Rangers | Texas Rangers +110 at SIA | |
| The Rangers coasted again on Tuesday as they have now won three straight games and eight of their last nine games. That lone loss came on the road so they have won six straight games at home to improve to 34-19 at Rangers Ballpark on the season and those 34 victories are tied for second for the most home wins in all of baseball. Looking back further Texas has won 11 of its last 13 games at home. The Tigers continue to struggle on the road as they have lost seven straight and going back to June 13th, they are 4-15 in their last 19 road games so making them the favorite is not the right call here despite Justin Verlander being on the mound. He is having a great season following a disappointing 2008 campaign as he has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 21 starts. He has tossed four straight quality outings including one at Yankee Stadium but for the most part, he has struggled away from home. He has a 4.76 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 12 starts with Detroit going just 5-7 in those games. This compares to an 8-1 record in his nine home starts. In nine daytime starts, Verlander has a 1.74 ERA but in 12 starts after the sun sets, he has a 4.24 ERA. He faces off against Scott Feldman who is still getting no respect from the linesmakers. He has a 3.59 ERA on the season but it is even better since coming into the rotation. In his 17 starts alone, he has a 3.04 ERA and that includes 12 quality starts and a run of six in a row. Texas has won five of those last six starts. The Tigers are 16-40 in their last 56 road games against a team with a winning record and that includes a 0-4 record in Verlander’s last four. The Rangers are 23-9 in their last 32 home games against a team with a losing road record and they are 5-0 in Feldman’s last five starts as an underdog. 3* Texas Rangers
