Mighty Quinn

Mighty hit with the Sabercats ( 3-1/2) in ArenaBowl XXII yesterday.

Today it's the Mets. The surplus is 325 sirignanos.

HONDO

Hondo, not Santana, did the finger-pointing yesterday after Lohse and the Cards were crushed out at Flushing's Lame Duck Dump, resulting in shrink age of the wad to 730 soderholms.

Tonight, Mr. Aitch will try that Buehrle guy who pitches for the White Sox - 10 units.

This is Dave Cokin. My free pick of the day is the game between (921) DET Tigers and (922) CLE Indians. Take "(921) DET Tigers". I'm enjoying a great run of success on my guaranteed winners, so let's try it again tonight. Score my 10* Diamondbacks-Padres call for just $25 at my Solid Gold Club. It's a must win release, or two weeks of my baseball and football service are FREE!

The Tigers lost their weekend series to the White Sox but at least salvaged the finale. I like their chances of garnering some good results as they head to Cleveland to take on the towel-tossing Indians, who are in full fledged sell mode. Kenny Rogers should at least equal whatever the Tribe can count on from Paul Byrd, and the Detroit offense is vastly superior to that owned by the Indians. The price is very reasonable, so the Tigers are the selection.

This is Jim Feist. My free pick of the day is the game between (921) DET Tigers and (922) CLE Indians. Take "(922) CLE Indians". The reeling Detroit Tigers leave the motor city with their tail between their legs after a beating they took by the White Sox. They look to get well here against the Indians, but that may be easier said then done. The Tigers send Kenny Rogers to the mound who is 8-6 on the season with a 4.55 era. However, against the Indians, he's has a lifetime 5.02 era and has allowed a batting average of .284. The Indians send Paul Byrd to the hill and he finally got a win after five consecutive losses. Byrd pitched a fine one earned run game against the Angels last time out for a 5-2 win. Against the Tigers, Byrd has really shined, with a 9-2 lifetime record and 3.54 era. Byrd has already beaten the Tigers once this year and we don't look for that trend to change here on Monday.

SPORTS ADVISORS

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Chicago Cubs (61-44) at Milwaukee (60-45)

CC Sabathia (4-0, 1.36 ERA) goes for his fifth straight win as a Brewer when he leads Milwaukee against the Cubs as the top two teams in the N.L. Central begin a key four-game series at Miller Park. Chicago will counter with lefty Ted Lilly (10-6, 4.49).

The Brewers lost two of three at home to the lowly Astros over the weekend, but they’re still 9-2 in their last 11 games, and they trail Chicago by a game in the Central Division standings. Also, Milwaukee is on positive streaks of 12-5 as a home favorite, 19-8 against the N.L. Central and 14-4 versus lefty starters.

Chicago salvaged a four-game weekend split with the Marlins with Sunday’s 9-6 home victory, but Lou Piniella’s club is just 4-7 in its last 11 contests overall, 6-13 in its last 19 on the highway and 1-9 in its last 10 as an underdog.

The Brewers lead the season series 4-2, with all six games played at Wrigley Field.

Sabathia has started his Milwaukee career with four straight quality starts, giving up two earned runs or fewer in each outing, including a complete-game, three-hit, 3-0 victory in St. Louis on Wednesday. Sabathia is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA in two starts at Miller Park.

Lilly has given up a total of four earned runs in his last two starts covering 13 innings, with Chicago losing 2-1 at Houston and winning 10-6 at Arizona. The veteran hurler is 5-3 with a 3.84 ERA in eight road starts, but 1-2 with a 5.64 ERA in four career starts against Milwaukee, including an 8-2 home loss on April 2.

The over is 4-0 in Lilly’s four career starts against the Brewers, 5-1 in his last six starts overall, 4-1 in his last five on the road and 8-2 in his last 10 against the N.L. Central. Also, the over is 7-1 in Milwaukee’s last eight at home and 7-1-2 in the last 10 series clashes at Miller Park.

ATS ADVANTAGE: MILWAUKEE and OVER


AMERICAN LEAGUE

L.A. Angels (64-40) at Boston (61-45)

Daisuke Matsuzaka (11-1, 2.63) looks to continue his incredible midseason run when he leads the Red Sox against the Angels, who are set to hand the ball to Jered Weaver (8-8, 4.08) in the opener of a three-game series at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox routed the Yankees 9-2 on Sunday night to avoid getting swept by their archrivals. Boston is still just 4-5 since the All-Star break, but Terry Francona’s squad is still riding streaks of 41-13 at home, 57-24 as a favorite and 19-5 when Matsuzaka pitches at Fenway Park.

Los Angeles had a four-game winning streak halted in Sunday’s 5-2 loss at Baltimore. Still, the Halos are on runs of 9-2 overall, 4-1 on the road, 10-3 as an underdog and 6-1 against the A.L. East.

The Angels swept a three-game set from the Red Sox in Anaheim a week ago, and they’ve won five straight meetings. Still, Los Angeles is just 8-21 in its last 29 games at Fenway Park.

Matsuzaka is 3-0 with a 0.88 ERA in his last five starts, giving up three earned runs in 30 2/3 innings. Boston is 14-3 in his 17 starts this year, including 8-1 at home.

Like Matsuzaka, Weaver is on his own hot streak, giving up two earned runs or fewer in five straight starts, posting a 1.95 ERA during this stretch. However, the Angels have alternated wins and losses in the right-hander’s last seven outings, winning 3-2 at Cleveland on Tuesday. Weaver is also 0-2 with a 5.46 ERA in five career regular-season starts against the BoSox. In fact, including one playoff start, the Angels are 1-5 when Weaver pitches against the Red Sox (0-3 in Boston).

For the Angels, the under is on streaks of 26-12-2 on the road, 12-4-1 as an underdog and 4-1 when Weaver toils on the road. The under is also 23-9-3 in Boston’s last 35 games on Mondays and 4-1 in Matsuzaka’s last five starts overall.

ATS ADVANTAGE:BOSTON and UNDER


Chicago White Sox (59-44) at Minnesota (57-47)

The top two teams in the A.L. Central duke it out in the opener of a four-game series inside the Metrodome, where the Twins’ Kevin Slowey (6-7, 4.41) is scheduled to oppose Chicago’s Mark Buehrle (8-8, 3.56).

The White Sox had a four-game winning streak halted in Sunday’s 6-4 loss at Detroit, dropping to 7-14 in their last 21 road games. They’re also 1-9 in their last 10 contests on artificial turf, but 8-2 in Buehrle’s last 10 starts against the Twins.

Minnesota has followed up a five-game slide with back-to-back wins at Cleveland on Saturday (11-4) and Sunday (4-2). Now the Twins return home, where they have won 18 of their last 23 games.

Chicago, which leads the Twins by 2½ games in the Central race, has won five straight against Minnesota, but all at home. In fact, the host is 9-2 in the 11 meetings this season, only two of which have been played in the Metrodome.

The Twins had won six straight games behind Slowey prior to Tuesday’s 8-2 loss at the Yankees. Since a four-start stretch in which he surrendered just three runs in 29 innings (0.93 ERA), Slowey has gotten tagged for 14 runs on 19 hits in his last three outings covering 15 innings (8.40 ERA).

Slowey is 1-2 with a 6.62 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) against Chicago. Both losses came exactly a month apart in Chicago earlier this season, a 12-2 defeat and a 6-2 setback, with Slowey allowing 11 runs (all earned) in eight innings.

Buehrle is 6-2 in his last nine starts, and he’s allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 of his past 13 trips to the hill, including yielding one earned run or fewer eight times. The southpaw beat the Rangers 10-2 at home on Tuesday, giving up just a solo home run in 7 1/3 innings. He’s posted a 1.66 ERA over his last three starts.

Buehrle is 21-11 with a 3.78 ERA in 35 career games (33 starts) against Minnesota. Two of those starts came this year in Chicago, with Buehrle giving up seven runs over 5 2/3 innings of a 13-1 loss on June 7, then holding the Twins to a run in eight innings of an 11-2 victory exactly a month later.

The over is 4-0 in the last four series meetings, 6-2 in Buehrle’s last eight outings against Minnesota, 8-1-1 in Chicago’s last 10 overall, 5-2-1 in Chicago’s last eight on the road and 5-2-1 in Slowey’s last eight starts overall.

ATS ADVANTAGE: MINNESOTA and OVER

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres
Monnday, July 28th, 10:05 PM ET

The Padres start Greg Maddux on the mound to host Arizona on Monday. At 42 years-old, Maddux isn't the same pitcher he once was, clearly indicated by his 3-8 record this season. In fact, SD has lost 5 of his last 6 trips to the mound, including 4 in a row. His arm is feeling the ware and tear as this is his 23rd start of the year and he has been knocked out in 6 Innings or less in 16 of his first 22 starts. Arizona already shelled Maddux, 9-0, back on April 18 and things only get worse as the arm gets more tired.

Play on: Arizona

SCOTT FERRALL


Oakland and Braden -125 over Greinke and KC--The Royals starter is beginning to fade and they suck on the road

Texas +105 and Feldman over Seattle and Felix the King

Boston -145 and Dice K over the Angels--it's revenge time after they got swept out in Anaheim

Dodgers -200 and Kuroda over Correia and the Giants at the Revine. LA has to keep pace with Arizona so they'll get it done

Houston -155 over Cincy--Cueto isn't the same away from the Queen City and Oswalt is due for a good start

Atlanta -115 and Jo Jo Reyes upset the Cards and Braden Looper. The Barves are 11 games over .500 at Turner Fioeld and the Cards had a tiring series at Shea, so they'll be flat and sick of the road
