JUNE 14th
$1000 Toronto -115
This one is a tough call because the Marlins have done extremely well with Johnson on the mound. Johnson has not allowed more than 3 ERs in a long while, and the Jays feel they can get to him and get 4 on the board. Marlins bullpen has been solid in this series and in gerneral so the Jays would need to beat on Johnson early and put up enough to win this thing. Brian Tallet has not been all that great of late, but he does come off a shutout performance vs. Texas. Look for that to carry over as he shuts down the fish this afternoon giving his team a golden opportunity to pick up the win. Toronto heads on a 6 game road trip after today so look for them to take care of some business in their final home game before they head out.
$1000 Boston -125
The Red Sox have already made it 5 straight winning series vs. Philly after last nights win and will seal the door on another series sweep today, this time on the road. The Sox have won 5 straight and 10 of their last 12 games. Beckett has had no major issues with Philly, and the Sox are putting up plenty of runs for their starters and I feel no different about today. The Sox have unloaded on teams lately. I dont think this one will get out of hand but the Sox should be able to outscore Philly today. In this situation it is more likely that Boston sweeps rather than Philly stops the sweep. Play the Sox as I look for a 5-3 final today!
$200 Det/Pit Over 9.5
This selection is a part 1 of a possible 2 on totals today. Dontrelle Willis still has not found it. You can tell that his manger lacks confidence as well pulling him before he can get into trouble. The only thing that may save him is pitching against an NL team with the pitcher due up 9th. If you look at his previous outings, most have gone under. All those unders were set at 10 or more runs however, with the last one at 9.5, blowing it away with 13 total runs. Opponents are averaging 4 runs on Ohlendorf in his last 5 outings and his last 3. His last 2 home outings saw the other team scoring 6 total in both gms. This one should get to 12 runs, assuming Willis and Ohlendorf both allow at least 4 each. I dont see that being an issue today.
$200 StL/Cle Under 7.5(ONLY IF Det/Pit total loses)
This play will only be a go on the back end of the Det-Pit total loss. ONLY PLAY THIS SELECTION with a loss on the early game total for today. If the early total wins, this play will not be a graded selection. Carpenter will face off with Cliff Lee, which should be a good cap off of the interleague weekend. If you look at Carpenters stats, he has not allowed much. More recently he is getting hit and runs are being scored but not pouring in. Lee has also followed up last season nicely and with these two starters going at least 13 innings combined tonight I fail to see many scored. The Cards still have not found it offensively and that will ultimately help this one. Look for a 3-2 final in Sundays final game of the day!
