Another winning day on Tuesday going 1-1 (+1.1 units). We cashed in the 11th straight (and 19 out of 21) 5 STAR winner with the Phillies. These are my plays for Wednesday.....
5 STAR: St. Louis (Williams)(-$130) OVER HOUSTON (MUNRO)
Houston native Woody Williams always pitches will against his home town team. Williams is 6-2 in his career against the Astros with an ERA of only 2.45 and holding Houston to a team batting average of only .216. Williams has cashed in six of his last seven teams starts in Houston. Road favorites with a money line of -125 or more that have a hot bullpen whose WHIP is under 1.250 the last 15 games, in May games are 101-34 over the last 5 seasons. Pete Munro is 0-2 when starting against St. Louis in his career with an ERA of 5.73 and both of those starts were against Woody Williams. Look for the Cards to get it done here!
3 STAR: NEW YORK (LEITER)(-$110) OVER Philadelphia (Wolf)
I look for Al Leiter to bounce back from his worst outing of the season in his last start against the Giants. Leiter is 7-0 after getting rocked for 7 or more runs last outing since 1997 and 7-1 after giving up 2 or more home runs last in his last outing over the last 3 seasons. Al Leiter is also 7-1 versus a National League team with a team batting average of .250 or worse over the last 3 seasons. Look for the Mets to take this one.
2 STAR: Minnesota (Rogers)(+$170) OVER OAKLAND (ZITO)
This is a good spot here for the Twins with Kenny Rogers facing off against Barry Zito. In five regular season starts against the Twins, Zito is 1-2 with a 5.97 ERA, his highest against any team. The Twins are 5-1 in road games after having won 3 of their last 4 games this season. Kenny Rogers is 8-2 in road games when working on 5 or 6 days rest over the last 3 seasons. I'll take a shot with the heavy underdog in this heated rivalry.
2 STAR: Kansas City (Ascenio)(+$155) OVER SEATTLE (GARCIA)
Royals starter Miguel Ascenio is 7-1 in his team starts this year. He is also 5-0 as a underdog this year. Mariners starter Freddy Garcia has a 6.11 ERA at home this year and a 5.36 ERA in 9 career starts versus KC. Seattle is also 1-6 when playing on Wednesday this season. The dog should bark in this one!
Good luck,
