WinOnBaseball - Friday Report - 04/23/04

Season record: 30-32 -4.49 UNITS

All lines effective as of 4/23/04 12:05am PST. Listed pitchers must start.

Five plays for Friday:

SD (EATON) -129 over Ari (Daigle) - 2 UNITS - 7:05pm Pacific
San Diego has scored 29 runs in their last three games at pitcher friendly Pac Bell Park. They now move to hitter friendly Bank One, and should be able to continute their scoring. Arizona is coming off of a 15 inning marathon at Milwaukee in which they used 8 pitchers. They return home with Daigle on the mound, who hasn't been good at all. Granted, one start was at Coors, but it's not like Bank One will provide much relief to him. Daigle most likely won't be effective against the hot Padre offense. Arizona's pen is pretty bad to begin with; throw in the fact that they're a little overworked, and they probably won't provide much relief. Eaton, meanwhile, has looked very sharp. His command, control, and HR rates are all excellent. This year's sample size is still very small, but his progression from Tommy John surgery two years ago is very good. San Diego has a good bullpen, and I give the Padres the edge in every match up here.

OVER 10.5 STL (CARPENTER)/MIL (KINNEY) -112 - 1 UNIT - 5:05pm Pacific
Both starting pitchers have been a little wild. Kinney has followed up a lousy spring with some lousy regular season starts. He got lit up by the Cardinals last year, and I don't expect him to improve against them this year. Moreover, Milwaukee's bullpen was burned up in yesterday's 15 inning marathon, which means we may see more of an ineffective Kinney longer than usual before giving it up to a tired pen. I don't expect much from Carpenter either, as he's still trying to find his groove after being out of baseball for awhile. His skill set is not that good anyway.

STL (CARPENTER) -121 over Mil (Kinney) -121 - 1 UNIT - 5:05pm Pacific
Although I'm not a fan of Carpenter, I think the Cards will be able to hit Kinney and the bullpen enough to give them a win.

LA (PEREZ) -149 over SF (Tomko) - 1 UNIT - 7:10pm Pacific
Perez was nearly flawless in his last game against SF. He went 8 innings, gave up two hits, struck out 10, and walked only 1. He has always put up some pretty good numbers against the Giants, but he had a terrible record against them. Now may be the time when the W/L record will catch up to his numbers. Perez is usually a safe play at Dodger Stadium, as he is prone to giving up the home run when he's not on; his home park will suppress this tendency. Of course, Perez will have an excellent pen backing him up.

NYY (CONTRERAS) -125 over Bos (Lowe) - 1 UNIT - 4:05pm Pacific
The Yankees' three year split against Lowe shows that they've hit him very well, but their W/L record against him doesn't properly reflect that. They continued their hot hitting against him in his last start, and I don't see why that can't continue in this one. Contreras hasn't looked too good this year, but I think it's just a matter of time before his nasty stuff comes shining through. I'm not expecting a gem from Contreras here, but I do think the Yanks' offense will pull this one out.

PLEASE NOTE: All wagers are recommended for a "base" unit. Thus a side for 1 UNIT at -110 should be considered risking 1.10 UNITS to win 1.00 UNITS, while a team at +110 should be considered risking 1.00 UNITS to win 1.10 UNITS.

Free Pick from NSA

Free Winners for Friday, April 23
MLB BASEBALL
Cleveland @ Detroit
Pick: Detroit -110
Time: 7:05 PM EST

Today the National Sports Advisors look for the Tigers to win as -110 favorites against the Indians, when they matchup in Detroit tonight.

As mediocre as the Cleveland Indians are, Jeremy Bonderman probably wants no part of them.

Winless in six starts against Cleveland, Bonderman and the Detroit Tigers begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game set against the Indians.

Bonderman is 0-4 against the Indians with a 7.55 ERA.

He has given up three home runs in his last three outings against the Indians, and 10 of the 28 he's allowed in his career have come against Cleveland. In Sunday's 9-7 loss at Jacobs Field, Bonderman allowed seven runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings.

The Tigers *****'t won consecutive games since their season-opening four-game winning streak and are coming off a 4-3 defeat to Minnesota on Thursday.

The Indians, meanwhile, are coming off a 5-4 win over Kansas City on Thursday.

Omar Vizquel became the 230th player to reach 2,000 hits with his eighth-inning single as the Indians rallied from a two-run deficit.

Free pick From Vegas sports insider

FREE WINNER FROM VEGASSI.COM
Friday, April 23, 2004
MLB BASEBALL
Minnesota @ Kansas City
Pick: OVER 11
Time: 8:10 PM EST

Today the Vegas Sports Insiders look for the Twins and Royals to score over 11 runs, when they matchup tonight in Kansas City.

Injuries to several key players *****'t prevented the Minnesota Twins from taking sole possession of first place in the AL Central.

Minnesota looks to make it four wins in as many games this season against the Kansas City Royals when the teams open a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium.

Despite playing without injured center fielder Torii Hunter, catcher Joe Mauer and designated hitter Matthew LeCroy for much of this season, the Twins are first in the AL Central with one of the best records in the majors.

One of the biggest reasons for Minnesota's early season success has been the play of rookie Lew Ford, batting .450 (18-for-40) with three homers and a team-best 15 RBIs. Ford has hit in nine of 11 games, including eight straight, since being called up to replace Hunter on April 10.

Minnesota has won seven of eight, including a three-game sweep of Kansas City at the Metrodome last weekend. The Twins had 30 hits and outscored the Royals 25-14 in that series.

Kansas City ended a six-game losing streak with a 15-5 victory at Cleveland on Tuesday, but fell back into its losing ways with a 5-4 defeat Thursday after Wednesday's game was postponed due to rain.

What a dumb pick by NSA.
The whole writeup favors Cleveland and then they pick Detroit, unless they weren't thinking and meant to pick Detroit.
Did I miss something?

I reads the same thing, did a double take, then realized it was NSA...I've seen several of his free picks, where he portrays one team as a disaster, then turns around and picks em to cover...

I don't pay attention to his write ups on Freebies, I just note them and carry on...You can see why...take care...OLDman...kmann
