Oakland -1.5 runs +130 over Seattle
Before last night's game the Mariners were a dismal 13-32 on the road. The A's are 33-15 at home. Franklin is 3-8 on the year with a 5.20 ERA, and just 1-5 on the road with a 6.54 ERA. Mariners bullpen is overworked throwing almost 100 more innings then the A's staff. Redman is 6-8 on the year with a 4.76 ERA. The A's score almost a full run and a half more then the M's due. The A's are getting contributions up and down the lineup. The M's are seeing what they have in prospects. Take the home team in this one.
We're on a 77-43-2 run with our last 122 complimentary releases including a win with 16 of the last 23 releases after Cleveland lost to Detroit.
For Tuesday take San Diego to beat San Francisco.
Some teams just match up well against other teams or as some would say, one team has the other team's "number".
Well, San Diego has San Francisco's "number". This season the Padres have beat the Giants in 8 of 10 games including six straight after last night's 3-2 win.
Giants ace Jason Schmidt goes tonight with a 12-3 record and 2.79 ERA. Two of Schmidt's three loses have come in his two appearances against San Diego. He's given up 14 runs in 9.2 innings of work in those games. The Padres have his "number".
San Diego sends David Wells to the bump with a 6-5 record and 3.36 ERA. This year against the Giants he is 1-1 in three starts giving up eight runs in 18.2 innings. Wells is at his best against good teams and he's put the Giants in their place every time out this season but the bullpen has hurt him on occasion.
In fact Schmidt and Wells met up jus five days ago with Wells getting the win in a 9-4 Padres victory. The Padres have won 9 of their last 12 and that's coming off of a road trip before this series with the Giants.
San Diego as an underdog tonight is found money. Take the Padres
Complimentary Selections
----------------------------------
*NY Mets (-115) vs. Montreal (Glavine vs. Day)
I've been riding Montreal to some wins but tonight I think their five-game win streak comes to an end. They've been scoring over twice their season average number of runs over this win streak but I don't see that continuing against Tom Glavine and his amazing 2.60 ERA. Montreal is 1-7 (-6.3 Units) against the money line in home games vs. a starting pitcher with good control (less than 1.75 BB's/start) this season. Zach Day's having his problems with a 7.71 ERA over his last three starts. One unit on the Mets.
Play On: 1* San Francisco -120 (Schmidt/Wells) Listed
San Francisco is 179-107 +48.3 units at night last 3 years. Schmidt is 12-3 with a 2.79 ERA overall this year and 4-0 with a 2.06 ERA on the road this year. Wells is only 2-4 at home this year. San Francisco is 30-18 vs San Diego last 3 years.
Also a good spot to play previous pitcher system.....Schmidt lost to Wells last time out, usually good to play losing pitcher in rematch - it's just hard to play against a hot SD team at home with Wells right now.....
Game: Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies Jul 27 2004 9:05PM
Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers
Reason: Heading into last night's game the Dodgers were 18-4 in July. When facing a team with a losing record the Dodgers are 31-14. Perez has an ERA of 2.08 on the road. When he starts vs the Rockies the Dodgers are 7-4. Cook is 0-4 with an ERA of 6.82 at home. Colorado has lost 5 of his 6 home starts. Play on the Dodgers
