Jeff Benton

Colorado -115 at PITTSBURGH

This one’s mostly about Colorado starting pitcher Aaron Cook, who has righted his season after a shaky beginning. Cook has delivered four consecutive quality starts, allowing a total of eight earned runs in 27 innings (2.67 ERA), including back-to-back strong outings against the Padres (one run allowed in eight innings) and Florida (one earned run allowed in six innings).

Today, Cook faces a Pirates lineup that has stopped hitting (three runs scored or fewer in five of its last eight games). More importantly, Pittsburgh has stopped winning, losing 14 of its last 17 games, including six of its last nine at home, including Friday’s 3-1 loss in which the Bucs blew a 1-0 ninth-inning lead. The Pirates also struggle to post victories when Ian Snell is pitching, going 1-6 in his seven starts this season, including 0-4 in his last four outings. And if you take away the one victory – a 10-0 home win over Atlanta – the Pirates have scored a grand total of 15 runs in his six losses (or 2.5 per game). They’ve also been held to a single run in each of their last two games.

The Rockies are 3-1 in Cook’s four career starts against Pittsburgh, including a pair of wins last July by scores of 11-3 and 7-4, and the right-hander has pitched at least six innings in all four of his appearances against the Pirates. Throw in the fact that this game will be played under the lights – Cook has a 2.57 ERA in two night games, while Snell has a 9.00 ERA in three night starts – and I’ll take a shot with the better team, the better starting pitcher and the vastly superior bullpen at a cheap price.

L.A. Dodgers at FLORIDA -110

Nailed our FREE winner with the Marlins on Friday night as they got the home win over the Red Sox. Today we've got a comp baseball winner on the Marlins as they host the Dodgers.

This is a battle between two southpaws and we're playing the home team with Andrew Miller (0-1, 6.94 ERA) taking the mound for the first time since coming off the DL.

Florida lost Friday's matchup 6-4, and have now lost five in a row after finishing off a six-game roadie 2-4. The Dodgers lost four of five after Manny Ramirez got suspended, but now they have won three in a row, all on the highway.

The Marlins won three of the last four over the Dodgers last season and will get this one today to even up the series.

Eric Milton is making his first start as a Dodger, and it's his first start in more than two years. but back in 2007, he didn't fare well for the Reds as they lost his last six starts of that season. And teams he's played for have lost five of his last six starts against Florida.

Miller hasn't pitched at home since June of last year, making five straight road starts.

Florida has gone 9-4 against lefties in its last 13 outings. Meanwhile the Dodgers are just 1-4 as a 'dog, 4-13 against N.L. East foes and 4-9 on the road against teams with a losing record. Play the Marlins at home in this one.

free pick928 KAN / 927 BAL UNDER 10
Analysis: Member Play: Orioles SP Rich J. Hill (elbow) will come off the DL and make his first start of the season Saturday at Kansas City and I expect him to toss a gem. Royals SP Kyle Davies gave up just one run on three hits in six-plus innings against the Angels on Sunday. It is the third time this season Davies has allowed three earned runs or less in at least six innings and ended up with a no-decision; expect him to be sharp again today. Baltimore has seen the total go under the posted number in 3 of 5 games in games played on a grass field while the Royals have seen it go under the posted number in 3 of 5 in the same situation; play on the UNDER

free pick920 TOR (-120) Bookmaker.com vs 919 CWS
Analysis:
Break up the Blue Jays! Toronto won easily last night over the White Sox, 8-3. The 24-14 Blue Jays own the AL's best record and lead the AL with a team BA of .289. The team's 221 runs (5.83 RPG) makes them MLB's highest scoring team. As for the White Sox, last year's AL Central champs are only 15-19 overall. The team's lineup has struggled all season, batting just .251 and scoring only 139 runs (4.09 per game). Chicago's lost NINE of its last 12, scoring just one run or less, FIVE times! What may be even worse for this matchup, the White Sox have now lost SEVEN consecutive games in Toronto, with Blue Jays pitching owning a 1.71 ERA while allowing the White Sox to bat just .157 as a team! What should change today? OK, Chicago will be facing a rookie right-hander in Robert Ray, who is making just his third career start. In his last outing, Ray gave up six runs (five earned) and 10 hits in 6.1 innings of a 6-1 loss to the Angels on May 7. However, Ray was hurt by some shaky defense in that game but at one point in the game, retired 11 of 12 batters. The way the White Sox have been hitting (or NOT hitting, as it were), Ray may be just fine. As for Chicago, the White Sox will counter with Bartolo Colon. They better hope he's better than he was last Sunday, when he allowed five ERs in just 4.2 innings of a 7-1 loss to Texas. Colon is 2-3 with a 4.88 ERA in 2009 and he longer even remotely resembles the pitcher who won the AL Cy Young award in 2005. Stick with the red-hot Jays.

free pick915 CIN (-130) SportBet vs 916 SDP
Analysis:
Volquez vs. Geer listed

Quick Analysis: The Reds have the edge in hitting/run production, starting pitching, and relief pitching. Cincy dropped the series opener last night after leading 3-1 in the 7th and they are 11-3 off a loss this season. I expect a bounce-back tonight, so I'll take the Reds with Volquez over the Padres and Geer for a half-unit.

Colorado Rockies (Cook) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (Snell) 7:05
Play On: Rockies -110

Over the last 21 innings Aaron Cook has owned the opposition compiling a 2.14 ERA. Meanwhile Ian Snell has gotten shelled his last three starts going 0-3 with an ERA around 5. Snell gets little support from the Pirates bats as Pittsburgh is just 1-6 in Snell's 7 starts. Everything posts to a Rockies win as the road chalk.

Play on the Colorado Rockies (-110) as a 100 Dime selection.

Cleveland Indians at Tampa Bay Rays
Prediction: Tampa Bay Rays

At first glance, this price seems rather high. However, when we consider that the Rays are an extremely profitable 32-5 (+23.8) the last 37 times that they were listed as home favorites in the -150 to -175 range, the price begins to look much more attractive. That's particularly true given the advantage they should enjoy on the mound.

Pavano has admittedly been getting better and he did earn a victory last time out. However, he didn't pitch particularly well. In 6 1/3 innings, he gave up 10 hits and four runs. That's not terrible - but it's not very good either. For the season, Pavano does still have a "terrible" 6.50 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP.

Unlike Pavano, Garza brings terrific stats to the table. He's got a solid 3.56 ERA and 1.041 WHIP overall. His numbers here at home have been even better, going 2-1 with a 3.49 ERA and 0.917 WHIP. Garza has been particularly dominant lately, as he's gone 2-0 with an outstanding 1.99 ERA and 0.75 WHIP his last three starts. Consider Tampa
