Focus on powerful FoxSheets' MLB betting system

Despite squaring off against Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander on Tuesday, the Mets erupted for 14 runs on 16 hits. The damage wasn’t all done on Verlander though, as the Detroit bullpen yielded nine of the runs itself. Because of that latter fact, New York comes into Wednesday’s contest backed by a powerful FoxSheets Super Situation. The host Mets are favorites of just -115 according to Bookmaker.com, but that price could escalate if bettors get their hands on this system.

The angle in focus is based squarely upon the recent performance of the bullpens of both teams. It reads as follows:

Play Against - Road teams (DETROIT) - after a game where the bullpen was rocked for 6 or more earned runs against opponent with a hot bullpen whose ERA is under 3.00 the last 15 games. (64-21 over the last 5 seasons.) (75.3%, +39.7 units. Rating = 4*)

The average money line posted in these games was: Team favored with a money line of: -115.7
The average score in these games was: Team 5.2, Opponent 3.7 (Average run differential = +1.4)

The situation's record this season is: (3-0, +3.1 units).
Over the last 3 seasons the situation's record is: (29-10, +17.5 units).
Since 1997 the situation's record is: (148-92, +25.6 units).

As you can see, this system is already 3-0 for 2010, producing 3.1 units of profit in just three games. Over the last five seasons, the return on investment had you wagered every qualifying game would have been an astronomical 46.7%. In these days of economic uncertainty, how many fund managers would kill for a return like that!

Wednesday’s starting pitcher matchup shows the Tigers going with Jeremy Bonderman vs. the Mets’ R.A. Dickey.

Dickey (5-0, 2.82 ERA), recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on May 19, has been a major surprise for New York, and he'll take the mound looking to become the first starter to win his first six decisions with the club.

The 35-year-old knuckleballer is also vying to become the first Met to win six starts in a row since Mike Pelfrey did it from June 16-July 13, 2008.

The Mets are second in the NL East, 1 1/2 games behind first-place Atlanta.

Dickey is 2-2 with a 4.69 ERA in 12 games - five starts - versus the Tigers. He lost his last appearance against them July 3, giving up four runs and nine hits in three innings of relief for Minnesota.

The Tigers have dropped nine of 12 on the road, and the staff has a 6.36 ERA in that stretch.

Bonderman (3-4, 4.06) is 1-2 with a 6.03 ERA in six road starts, but comes off a solid outing and will now try to win a second consecutive start for the first time since a personal eight-game winning streak from April 30-June 20, 2007.

Bonderman is 1-1 with a 7.36 ERA in two starts against the Mets

The ******* Power Line shows the Mets should be a favorite of -131, perhaps indicating a slight under-pricing by Bookmaker.com. For those interested in the total, that number shows OV8.5 +105.

Starting time for Wednesday’s game is set for 7:10 PM ET.

Wednesday Tips

The Wednesday interleague slate heats up with several of the later starts taking center-stage. The Freeway Series continues in Anaheim between the Dodgers and Angels, while the Red Sox and Rockies renew acquaintances at Coors Field. We'll start on the South Side of the Chicago with a pair of veteran pitchers looking to keep their teams on hot streaks.

Braves at White Sox - 8:10 PM EST

Atlanta is listed as a favorite once again for the second game of this three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field. The Braves have won 15 of 16 contests when listed as 'chalk,' including an 8-2 mark the last 10 as road favorites, coming off last night's 9-6 setback to the Sox.

Tim Hudson (7-2, 2.34 ERA) continues to be dominant for the Braves, compiling nine quality starts since May 1 with Atlanta going 7-3. Hudson is coming off a strong performance over the Rays his last time out, scattering four hits and one earned run in seven innings of work as the Braves won, 3-1. That victory was only the second win for Atlanta in Hudson's last 15 interleague starts dating back to 2005.

The White Sox counter with southpaw Mark Buehrle (5-6, 4.71 ERA), who is fresh off consecutive one-run road wins over the Cubs and Pirates. Buehrle had allowed 12 earned runs in his previous two starts against the Rangers and Indians, but bounced back by giving up two earned runs combined in his last two victories. Five of Buehrle's six home starts have finished 'over' the total, while the Sox are just 2-6 in his eight night outings this season.

The Braves are a sterling 17-6 this season in Game 2's of a series, while the White Sox have won four straight Game 2's after starting the season 5-13 in this spot. Chicago is 6-3-1 to the 'over' the last ten home games, as the Sox have limited opponents to four runs or less in eight of the last nine games.

Red Sox at Rockies - 8:40 PM EST

The hottest pitcher in baseball is facing one of the hottest clubs in the game as the two teams from the 2007 World Series meet up in Denver. Ubaldo Jimenez looks for his league-leading 14th victory on the season, while John Lackey is coming off back-to-back home interleague wins.

Jimenez (13-1, 1.15 ERA) shut down the Twins his last time out, allowing eight hits and one earned run in eight innings as the Rockies avoided a sweep with a 5-1 victory. The Rockies' ace has put together a quality start in all 14 outings, while going 5-0 at Coors Field this season. Jimenez faced the Red Sox in the '07 Fall Classic and lasted only 4.2 innings in a 2-1 setback.

The Sox are just 2-4 in Lackey's (8-3, 4.53 ERA) six road outings, including a loss at Baltimore as a $1.60 favorite. Lackey rebounded with two comfortable victories over the Phillies and Diamondbacks, as the ex-Angels righty has gone 'over' the total in four of his last five starts. The interleague numbers for Lackey have been superb, as the Angels and Red Sox have won 16 of his last 19 starts against National League opponents.

Colorado owns a 13-2 mark in interleague play at Coors Field since 2008, while winning 10 of those games by at least two runs. The Red Sox haven't been too shabby on the road against NL foes, going 8-4 since the start of last season.

Yankees at Diamondbacks - 9:40 PM EST

The Bronx Bombers were knocked around in the series opener at Arizona, but the Yankees bounced back last night behind a strong performance on the mound from Andy Pettitte. New York leads the loaded AL East by 1 ½ games over Tampa Bay and Boston entering tonight's action, while Arizona sits at the bottom of the NL West.

Former Diamondback Javier Vazquez (6-6, 5.01 ERA) started the season horribly for the Yanks, but has bounced back nicely over the last month. Vazquez has compiled four straight quality starts with New York going 3-1 in this span, while tossing seven innings in each outing. In his last trip to the Chase Field mound as a member of the Braves, Vazquez allowed two runs and seven hits in 6.1 innings as Arizona won in walk-off fashion, 3-2.

Dontrelle Willis (1-0, 4.20 ERA) put together a nice debut for the D-Backs in a 4-3 win over the Rockies, but the ex-Marlin has been knocked around his last two times out. Willis gave up seven earned runs in his last nine innings pitched as Arizona fell to Atlanta and Detroit, while both games easily sailed 'over' the total.

The Yankees are 13-9 in their last 22 interleague regular season contests, despite a 1-3 mark this season. Seven of Arizona's last eight home games against AL foes have finished 'over' the total, including all four this season.

Dodgers at Angels - 10:05 PM EST

The Freeway Series has been owned by the Halos recently, taking eight of the last 11 meetings. The Angels improved to 4-0 against the struggling Dodgers this season after Tuesday's 6-3 come-from-behind victory.

Joel Pineiro (6-6, 4.45 ERA) is fresh off two solid efforts against the Brewers and Dodgers, allowing just two earned runs in 17 innings. The right-hander ended a nine-game interleague losing skid with the victory over Dodgers on June 11 as a $1.60 road underdog, 10-1. Pineiro tossed a complete-game, five-hitter against Los Angeles, his second straight win as a road 'dog.

The Dodgers counter with rookie John Ely (3-4, 4.15 ERA), who looks to rebound following an awful start at Cincinnati (4.2 IP, 8 H, 7 ER in a 7-1 loss). Ely hasn't been especially sharp since allowing eight earned runs in five starts from May 8 through June 1. Since the start of June, Ely owns an ERA of 9.20, while allowing six homers after not allowing a long ball through his first seven starts.
