Game: Arizona Diamondbacks at San Francisco Giants Sep 10 2007 10:15PM
Arizona Diamondbacks
This is the 1st game of a 3 game series and I expect the home team to stumble today against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Livan Hernandez gets the call for the D-Backs; Hernandez’s record is not indicative of his overall performance against the Giants; he is 3-4 with a great 2.88 ERA in 11 career starts against his former team but has not received a decision in 2 starts against them this season while posting a respectable 3.60 ERA. Tim Lincecum toes the rubber for the home team; the right-hander lasted just 3 innings on Tuesday, allowing 3 runs without getting a decision in San Francisco's 6-5 loss in Colorado. There is 1 very significant trend that does not bode well for Giants backers today; Arizona is a superb 16-11 (+8 units) their last 27 when playing on the road with a total of either 8 or 8.5! Indeed, when we look at the D-Backs a little closer we see they are a perfect 5-0 their last 5 overall! When you take into account all of these factors, the sharp money and great value is on the DIAMONDBACKS

Game: Toronto Blue Jays at Detroit Tigers Sep 10 2007 7:05PM
Detroit Tigers
The Blue Jays just lost two straight to the Devil Rays, but are favored in Detroit nonetheless. The Tigers do not like to be insulted like this and respond with a strong performance. In fact, the Tigers are 15-3 as an underdog vs a team that hs lost their last two games. Recently, the Tigers are 9-0 their last nine and 5-0 this season. Each of their five wins this season has been by AT LEAST three runs. Remember, they were a DOG each time. Take Detroit.
