| MLB | Aug 19 Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers | Minnesota Twins +122 at BODOG | > 4h. |
| The Twins could have really caved in last night trailing 5-1 heading into the sixth, but ended up winning easily 9-6 and have the momentum coming in here after a 16 hit explosion. The Twins began the season at 0-4 with Scott Baker on the hill, but since then they have been an impressive 12-7 and also 5-3 in his last eight road starts. The Rangers have not been successful in Kevin Millwood's last six starts where they are just 2-4 and things don't get much easier here. Millwood has had fits with the Twins as he has taken the goose-egg at 0-6 for his career with a 6.00 ERA allowing 82 hits in just 57 innings and walking 21 as well, so just about two base runners per inning. Texas bullpen overworked last night puts the Twins in a good spot here and I'll go with them. | ||
| MLB | Aug 19 New York Yankees vs. Oakland Athletics | New York Yankees -127 at 5DIMES | > 6h. |
| Take Yankees -120 for 2 Dime Free Play Yankees face the lefty Anderson for the third time this season and they send newly acquired Chad Gaudin to the mound for a start against the Athletics on Wednesday night. I'm liking the Yankees to hit Anderson hard as they have a .353 average in his two starts against them. Anderson's line is 12IP 18H 3BB 9 ER and 3HR. As I mentioned the Yankees always hit LHP as they have a stunning .299 average and are scoring 6.69 runs per 9 innings vs. LHP on the road this year. They are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a LH starter and are 10-2 in their last 12 meetings. I think we are getting great value here with the Yankees at -120 despite Gaudin going if you remember he did throw an 8 inning 1 hitter at Texas when he was with the Padres earlier this year. | ||
| MLB | Aug 19 Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox | Kansas City Royals -135 at 5DIMES | Started |
| The visitors have a young ace here, the home team has an aging starter who is close to being out of the rotation. Zack Greinke (11-7) has a 2.33 ERA with 174 KS in 166 innings. Jose A. Contreras (4-11) goes for the up and down White Sox, and he has been mostly down, with an ERA over 10 his last three starts. A good spot for the visitors. Play the Royals. | ||
| MLB | Aug 19 Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers | Texas Rangers -129 at 5DIMES | > 4h. |
| Free Play for 8/19/09 1 Unit on Texas Rangers -129 I like the Rangers to bounce back from last night's defeat behind Kevin Millwood tonight. Millwood has never earned a decision against the Twins, going 0-6 in his career, and he is very mindful of that. I expect this streak to come to an end here. Millwood has been brilliant at home all season, going 7-1 with an ERA of 2.46. Baker has been good for Minnesota of late, but has an ERA of 4.39 on the road this season. Plus, the Twins are 0-9 in his last 9 starts as an underdog of +110 to +150. The Twins are 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win and 0-5 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series. Take Texas. | ||

| FREE PLAY 1 Unit on Philadelphia Phillies -162 Haren is known to struggle late in the season and that's exactly what we are starting to see. Although, he was strong at home against the Dodgers his last time out, he really struggled against the lowly Nationals and the injury-plagued Mets his two prior starts, allowing 5 earned runs in each. Plus, Haren is 0-3 against the money line lifetime against Philly with an ERA of 4.76 and a WHIP of 1.235. The Phillies send Cliff Lee to the hill and he has been brilliant. He has won each of his last 6 starts and is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.12 and a WHIP of 0.917 since coming to Philly. The Diamondbacks are 0-5 in their last 5 road games, 0-6 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and 3-13 in their last 16 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Bet the Phillies. | ||
| MLB | Aug 19 Los Angeles Angels vs. Cleveland Indians | Los Angeles Angels -124 at SPBOOK | > 3h. |
| Free Play for August 19, 2009 1 Unit on LAA Angels -124 The Angels are rolling, having won 7 of 8. More impressively, they are 21-6 in their last 27 road games. I'll take the Halos on the road tonight against the Tribe and Jeremy Sowers. The Tribe is just 4-10 in Sowers' starts this season, 4-18 in his last 22 starts vs. a team with a winning record, and 0-6 in his last 6 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Angels counter with Weaver and are 13-3 in his last 16 starts and 5-0 in his last 5 starts vs. the American League Central. Weaver was rocked last time out and that bodes well for the Halos also, as they are 5-0 in his last 5 starts following an outing of less than 4 innings in his last appearance. Gotta go with the Angels at a nice price tonight. | ||

| Hope everyone got in with Craig's 5 star R/L top play of week. 1-1 yesterday and 3-1 Craig's last 4 plays. Get in with a HUGE PLAY for CRAIG today. GUARANTEED EASY WINNER!! PHI -160: Today PHI rolls out ace Cliff Lee as he tries to stay perfect with the new team. He will face ARI ace Harren who has not quite been as good lately. Lee is 3-0 since coming to Philly giving up only three runs and 16 hits over 24 innings with his new club and striking out 23. Not sure you can get any better than this. On the other hand Harren has gone 2-2 since the all star break giving up a 5.10 ERA. Not helping Harren today is also the fact that ARI just can't get hits lately. Yesterday they were held to only 3 hits and 1 run. On the other hand PHI is tearing it up scoring over 5 runs per game in last 7 games going 6-1 in that stretch. EASY winner today M/L and a small play on the R/L!!! SCORE PHI 5 - ARI 1 | ||

| MLB | Aug 19 St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers | St. Louis Cardinals +105 at BOOKM | > 6h. |
| This is the third and final game of the Cardinals and Dodgers three-game series at Chavez Ravine. The Cardinals are ranked 15 in hitting with a batting average of .262 averaging 4.5 runs per game on the year while the Dodgers are ranked 3 in hitting with a batting average of .276 averaging 4.9 runs per game. The teams are much closer in the pitching department with the Cardinals ranked 4 with an ERA of 3.73 with opponents hitting .262 against them. The Dodgers are ranked 2 in pitching with an ERA of 3.63 with opponents hitting for a .233 average. Combine these factors and these teams are relatively close overall put Adam Wainwright on the bump as an underdog and we have solid value with the Cardinals tonight. Wainwright is 14-7 this season with an ERA of 2.62 with the Cardinals 17-8 (+4.9) behind him on the hill. He has been overwhelming on the road this season posting a record of 9-1 with an ERA of 3.41 with the Cards 10-1 (+9.0) when he starts on the highway. He is 8-0 (+9.0) when playing against a team with a winning record in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons, 10-1 (+9.1) versus teams outscoring opponents by 0.5 or more runs per game on the season the last 2 seasons, 11-1 (+10.0) when the money line is +125 to -125 this season, 8-1 (+8.1) as a road underdog of +100 or higher the last 2 seasons, 8-1 (+8.1) as a road underdog of +100 to +150 the last 2 seasons and 7-0 (+7.1) on the road when the money line is +125 to -125 this season. The Cards are playing extremely well and they are sending an ace to the bump which should translate into a nice underdog win on Wednesday night in LA.

| MLB | Aug 19 New York Yankees vs. Oakland Athletics | New York Yankees -125 at 5DIMES | > 6h. |
| 1* Take the New York Yankees on the Moneyline, We are actually getting great value here Wednesday night with the Yankees who are 6-1 in their last 7 games against a lefty starter. The Yankees are 5-1 in their last 6 road games against a team with a losing record and they are 41-18 in their last 59 games after a win. Chad Gaudin (1-0, 5.40 ERA) makes his first start for the Yankees after making a couple of solid relief appearances for them. Brett Anderson (7-8, 4.55) takes the mound for the Athletics and he was lit up in his last start allowing 9 hits and 7 earned runs over just 5 innings at home against the White Sox. I look for the Yankees to hit Anderson hard tonight and give Gaudin plenty of run support since they already faced him twice this season. The Yankees averaged 9 hits per game against Anderson this season and 4.5 earned runs per game. Take the New York Yankees as my MLB Free Play for Wednesday night. Vernon Croy was 100% perfect yesterday and he crushes the books again with his huge 4* MLB NL Game of the Week that is backed by a combined 100% 24-0 Perfect Angle!

Play against any NL team with a bad offensive team scoring <=4.1 runs/game facing an average starting pitcher posting an ERA=4.20 to 5.20 and with a NL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.250 or better on the season. SD is just 12-27 (-17.7 Units) against the money line in home games versus a decent bullpen whose WHIP is 1.350 to 1.450 over the last 2 seasons; 19-40 (-18.7 Units) against the money line versus a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or less hits/start over the last 2 seasons. Cubs starter Harden has been solid to say the least posting a 3.00 ERA and a 1.111 WHIP over his last 3 starts. In 9 road starts he has posted a 2.28 ERA and 1.175 WHIP. Take the Cubs. | ||
