I'm backing the Rockies on Friday with Francis vs. Halsey. The Arizona lefty is off to a nice start, but gets his first Coors experience on Friday night. While the D'Backs have made great strides since last year's nightmare season, they're still so-so on the road, where they average just 1.50 RPG at LHS! Colorado will send southpaw Francis to the bump. He has amazing numbers at Coors, with a 4.59 ERA in 6 starts! Look for a lengthy effort again by Francis, while I expect the D'Backs to have to go to their vulnerable pen, early in this one! I'm backing the Rockies on Friday with Francis vs. Halsey!
Jimmy Sirody Cincinnati Reds
I realize Brett Myers is one of the hottest pitchers on the planet and Eric Milton has been less than spectacular. But Philadelphia simply isn't playing well enough to be $1.90 favorites over any team. Cincinnati has won 23 of 37 versus the NL East. The Phillies are 0-5 this season as home favorites of $1.50 to $2.00 and just 58-49 as home chalk of $1.50 or more (-27.5 units) the past three seasons. Milton has come out on top in 10 of 16 as an underdog of $1.75 to $2.50 and he has cashed 41 of 74 as a road dog. Toss in the fact that the Phillies are just 6-14 under the lights this season and this becomes a very attractive dog play.
Larry Ness Chicago White Sox
I used the White Sox here last night and will use them again for Friday. Garland upped his record to 7-0 in Thursday's 3-2 White Sox win and Chicago now owns a MLB-best 26-9 mark. Baltimore still owns the AL's second-best mark at 22-12 but the loss of both Matos and Sosa this past week to the DL, has to hurt. Chicago has been led by its outstanding starting rotation (now 21-4 3.08 on the year) and tonight goes with its ace, Mark Buehrle. Buehrle is 5-1 3.78 on the year, including 3-0 1.80 in three home starts. Going back to LY, he's lasted at least six innings in 35 straight starts! That's the longest streak in MLB since Curt Schilling went 38 straight starts of at least six innings in 2001-03 with Arizona. Lopez gets the nod for the Orioles and he's no Buehrle! He owns a 6.35 ERA over his last five starts and has a 7.15 road ERA in two away starts in 2005. Stay with the White Sox!
LT Profits Los Angeles Angels
While we feel that Jeremy Bonderman has a VERY bright future in this league, we will side with the veteran Colon here at this price. This is a pitching rematch from last Saturday, when both pitchers shined in a 2-1 Tigers victory. As is often the case in these rematches, we expect the Angels to turn the tables this time around. Colon pitched a Complete Game 8-hitter in that defeat, and the tough-luck loss is nothing new for Colon as he is just 4-3 on the year despite an excellent 2.83 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. He is on top of his game right now, having allowed 2 runs or less in 4 of his last 5 starts, holding two of those opponents scoreless while pitching 7 1/3 and 8 innings respectively. Bonderman was simply the better pitcher last week, allowing only 4 hits in 8 innings. However, he did throw 110 pitches on the heels of a 112-pitch effort in his prior start, so he may be a prime bounce candidate in here. Besides, Bonerman has pitched light years better on the road than he has at Comerica Park, where he inexplicably has a high 5.33 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. True to that form, while Bonderman was brilliant at Anaheim last week, the Angels roughed him up for 6 runs in 7 innings the last time he faced them here at home.
John Ryan Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Ai simulator 1-star graded play on Tampa Bay - Supporting this graded play is the fact that KANSAS CITY is 7-24 (-15.9 Units) against the money line vs. a starting pitcher whose gives up 1 or more HR's/start over the last 2 seasons. TAMPA BAY is 22-11 (+11.3 Units) against the money line when playing against a terrible team (Win Pct. <=38%) over the last 3 seasons.
John Ryan Minnesota Twins
Ai simulator 1-star graded play on Minnesota - Supporting this graded play is the fact that MINNESOTA is 25-9 (+12.9 Units) against the money line in home games vs. poor baserunning teams - averaging 0.5 or less SB's/game over the last 2 seasons. MINNESOTA is 27-13 (+15.9 Units) against the money line vs. a starting pitcher whose gives up 0.5 or less HR's/start over the last 2 seasons. MINNESOTA is 23-11 (+12.9 Units) against the money line after 5 or more consecutive road games over the last 2 seasons. Here is a nice system that has gone56-19 and plus 31 units since 1999. Play against all underdogs with a money line of +100 or higher (TEXAS) with a very bad bullpen whose WHIP is 1.650 or worse on the season, starting a pitcher who gave up 1 or less earned runs last outing.
Jimmy The Moose Chicago White Sox
Over his last 3 starts Lopez has an ERA of 9.46 and the Orioles have dropped 2 of his last 3 starts. Buehrle is 5-1 on the season with an ERA of 3.78. In Buehrle's 5 starts vs the Orioles the White Sox are 4-1. Chicago has won 8 of the last 10 meetings with the Orioles.
Robert Ross Washington Nationals
More a play against the Cubs than a play on the Nationals.Cubs are just 6-10 on the road this season, 23-29 against the money line after a one run win over the last 3 seasons and 9-17 against the money line with a struggling bullpen whose WHIP is over 1.750 the last 15 games over the last 3 seasons.
Play Washington!
Tom Freese Chicago White Sox
The White Sox Mark Buehrle is 4-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 4 career team starts vs. the Orilies. Chicago is 5-0 at home at night vs. righties this year and they are 5-0 in Game 2 of a home series this year. Baltimore starter Rodrigo Lopez is in terrible KW form with more walks than strikeouts in his last 3 starts.
