Wednesday Tips

The Wednesday baseball card involves another loaded schedule with July coming near a close. Four of the early night games inside the National League involve intriguing matchups, including a pair of pitchers that have thrown no-hitters this season hooking up in Philadelphia.

Diamondbacks at Phillies - 7:05 PM EST

Following Matt Garza's no-no against the Tigers on Monday, five no-hitters have been thrown this season. Two pitchers that have accomplished feat face off in Philadelphia, as Edwin Jackson and Roy Halladay meet at Citizens Bank Park. Halladay tossed a perfect game at Florida on May 29, while Jackson no-hit the Rays nearly a month later.

The Phillies have picked things up following a 1-7 run to start the second half, winning five straight games. Halladay (11-8, 2.28 ERA) rebounded from a poor start at Chicago to shut down Colorado, scattering five hits in eight scoreless innings as the Phillies cruised past the Rockies, 6-0. The Phillies' ace has allowed just one earned run in his last four starts at Citizens Bank Park, a span of 33 innings.

Jackson (6-9, 5.01 ERA) has put together a less-than-spectacular season in his first year in Arizona, giving up 13 runs in his last three starts (0-3). The lone shining moment for this struggling D-Backs squad was Jackson's no-hitter at Tropicana Field, as Arizona is languishing in last place of the competitive NL West. Arizona is 3-6 in Jackson's nine road starts, while the D-Backs are riding a 7-1 'over' run his last eight outings.

The D-Backs grabbed two of three meetings at Chase Field in April, but Arizona owns a 1-5 record the last two seasons in Philadelphia. Arizona owns a dreadful 10-22 mark in Game 2's of a series, while the Phillies have won eight straight games at home.

Marlins at Giants - 7:05 PM EST

The visiting team has dominated this series with the away club winning the first four meetings. Florida held off San Francisco, 4-3 in the opener on Monday to put a halt to the Giants' four-game winning streak. The Marlins are trying to make a push up the NL Wild Card race, sitting 5 ½ games behind the Giants to start Tuesday's action.

Rookie Alex Sanabia (1-1, 2.11 ERA) makes his fourth start of his career, coming off a no-decision against the Braves. Sanabia has struggled to go deep into his starts, not pitching past the sixth inning yet in three outings. The righty has pitched well, allowing his first run in three starts when he gave up a solo homer to Atlanta's Martin Prado in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win.

Jonathan Sanchez (7-6, 3.35 ERA) is fresh off a 10-strikeout performance in his last outing against Arizona, despite going only five innings in a 7-4 road victory. The Giants have lost each of Sanchez's last two home starts to the Mets and Dodgers, while eight of the southpaw's last 10 starts have finished 'over' the total. Sanchez will be making his second career start against the Marlins, as the lefty gave up five earned runs in a 5-4 defeat last June.

The Giants are just 3-5 the last eight games as a home favorite, while scoring three runs or less in seven of the previous home games overall. The Marlins have played plenty of low-scoring contests on the highway recently, going 4-1-1 to the 'under' the last six games on the road.

Braves at Nationals - 7:05 PM EST

Atlanta is looking like the team to beat in the National League, despite owning the second-best record in the Senior Circuit behind San Diego. The Braves took two of three from the Padres at Turner Field last week, owning a 4-2 mark against the leaders of the NL West. Atlanta has split six games with Washington this season, as the Braves try to win behind veteran Tim Hudson.

It's been a nice bounce-back season for Hudson (10-5, 2.47 ERA), who made just seven starts last season. The Braves have alternated wins and losses in Hudson's previous seven outings, coming off a win over the Padres his last time out. Since going 4-0 from mid-May to the start of June, Atlanta has failed to win back-to-back starts made by Hudson, going 0-4 in his last four starts off a win in his previous outing. From 2007 to 2008, the Braves went 6-1 against the Nationals in Hudson's starts, but are just 1-2 since the start of last season. Hudson did beat Stephen Strasburg and the Nats on June 28 at Turner Field, 5-0.

Livan Hernandez (7-6, 3.10 ERA) has been the veteran presence needed on this Washington pitching staff, as the Nats cashed in his last start as a $1.60 road underdog at Cincinnati. Washington is 9-2 in Hernandez's 11 home outings, including a 6-1 mark as a home 'dog. The 'under' has been an extremely profitable play this season, cashing in 16 of Hernandez's 20 starts. The Nats managed a 6-3 win over the Braves on May 4, but Hernandez lasted just 5.1 innings, while walking five.

The Braves have hit the 'under' in eight of their last nine games, while going 4-2 the last six as a road favorite. Following a positive start, the Nats have reverted back to their losing ways by going 12-26 since sweeping the Pirates in early June.

Cardinals at Mets - 7:05 PM EST

St. Louis stumbled over the weekend at Chicago, dropping two of three to the Cubs. Despite that hiccup, the Cards maintain a one-game advantage inside the NL Central over the Reds. The Mets are slowly falling out of both the NL East and Wild Card race after losing nine of 11 games on the West Coast. The only two wins have come with New York's ace on the hill, who looks to keep his dominant ways.

Even though his record doesn't reflect it, Johan Santana (8-5, 2.79) has flat-out shut down the competition this month. The former Cy Young Award winner has given up only three earned runs in five July starts, while the Mets are 4-1 in that span. Parlaying the Mets and the 'under' in Santana's home outings may be the way to go, as New York is 7-3 at Citi Field, while the 'under' is 6-3-1. The last time Santana faced the Cardinals was the 20-inning marathon at Busch Stadium in mid-April, as the southpaw scattered four hits in seven innings as the Mets outlasted the Cards, 2-1.

The starting pitcher for the Cards in the never-ending game in April was rookie Jaime Garcia (9-4, 2.21 ERA), who made a name for himself by going toe-to-toe with Santana. Garcia is winless in his last two road starts, but his previous outing on the highway was a blown save by the St. Louis bullpen in an 8-7 setback at Colorado. The 'under' continues to cash with the young southpaw, hitting in 14 of Garcia's 19 starts.

The Mets beat the Cards four of six times at Citi Field last season, but New York looks to improve on a .196 average the last 10 games. St. Louis is 3-7 the last 10 road games, while losing three of the previous four road series.

Hot betting system backs hot-hitting Sox

The White Sox are white hot when playing in Chicago, no doubt about it. They have been almost unbeatable at home over the last couple of months, winning 16 of their last 17 games at US Cellular Field. On Wednesday, they’ll look to continue that surge when they play the third of a 4-game series versus the Mariners. Chicago is a -155 favorite according to Sports.com at last check, and based upon a powerful ******* betting system, should be listed at a much higher price. Let’s take a look at the game and the system.

No team has been better the last seven weeks than the White Sox (55-44), who are a major league-best 31-11 since June 9. They have gone from 9 1/2 games out of first place in the AL Central to a one-game lead on Minnesota.

Almost all of those 11 losses have come on the road, as Chicago has won nine straight and 16 of its last 17 at home.

Their dominance over the Seattle Mariners at U.S. Cellular Field extends back much further than that. In fact, with Tuesday’s 11-0 victory, Chicago improved to 25-7 at U.S. Cellular Field against Seattle (39-62) since 2004.

The last-place Mariners have lost 18 of their last 24 games.

Red hot Mark Buehrle (9-8, 3.96 ERA) will try to pitch the White Sox to their first 10-game home win streak since April 15-May 4, 2006. The Chicago ace started slowly this season, losing five straight decisions at one point, but has rebounded to go 6-2 with a 2.20 ERA in his last eight starts.

Buehrle is 6-0 with a 3.34 ERA in eight home starts versus Seattle.

Jason Vargas (6-5, 2.94) looks to continue his consistent pitching for the Mariners. He ranks among the top 10 in the AL in ERA and has produced quality starts in eight of his last 10 outings.

Tonight’s top betting angle comes straight from the FoxSheets Power Searches on a query titled “Current Season Situations With the Highest Winning Percentages”. It reads as follows:

Play On - Home favorites with a money line of -110 or higher (CHI WHITE SOX) - hot hitting team - batting .290 or better over their last 20 games against opponent with a hot starting pitcher- ERA less than 2.50 over his last 3 starts. (64-18 over the last 5 seasons.) (78%, +40.2 units. Rating = 4*)

The average money line posted in these games was: Team favored with a money line of: -131.9
The average score in these games was: Team 5.7, Opponent 3.3 (Average run differential = +2.4)

The situation's record this season is: (8-0, +8 units).
Over the last 3 seasons the situation's record is: (31-9, +18.9 units).
Since 1997 the situation's record is: (199-108, +43.3 units).

As you can see, this system is almost as hot in 2010 as the White Sox are at home. Chicago will put its own 9-game home winning streak on the line and look to give our feature system a 9-0 start when it goes head-to-head with Seattle starting at 8:10 PM ET.
