BOB HARVEY SPORTS
TAMPA BAY RAYS
In this battle of Florida teams, the vastly improved Devil Rays get the nod as my pick to sweep the "Citrus Series". Florida has lost three straight games overall and 12 of its last 15 on the road. Second baseman Dan Uggla is 0-for-7 in this series, while shortstop Hanley Ramirez and former Tampa Bay slugger Jorge Cantu are both 1-for-8. Yes those players are do to break out of their respective slumps. Rays outfielder Jonny Gomes returned Saturday and homered in his first game back since serving a five-game suspension for his part in a bench-clearing brawl with Boston on June 5, Tampa Bay remains without Carl Crawford. The left fielder is serving the third game of his four-game ban for his part in the same incident.The Rays will give the ball to Edwin Jackson (4-5, 4.06 ERA), who tries to win consecutive starts for the first time since his first two outings of the season. He allowed four runs and a season high-tying 10 hits in seven innings Monday, but got credit for a 13-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Ricky Nolasco will throw 'em down for the Fish and has fared well against the D-Rays. This is more of a momentum play. Jackson is an underated hurler and I think he matches up well with Nolasco. Tampa Bay gets the sweep.

HONDO
June 15, 2008 -- It was hardly a cinch in Cincy for HONDO yester day, but the Bosawx overcame Papelbon to cause the earnings to swell to 335 stuarts.
Today, Mr. Aitch is allowing Litsch to make an other pitch, which could earn him a permanent stall in the stable. Ten units on the Blue Jays.

Game: Oakland Athletics at San Francisco Giants Jun 15 2008 4:05PM
Prediction: Oakland Athletics
Reason: Oakland finds themselves as slight road Favorites on Sunday as they head to San Francisco. The Giants have dropped 3 of their last 4 games and start Kevin Correia on the mound. We'll back teh A's in here as they're 6-1 during their last 6 trips to San Francisco and we find these Giants at 1-12 during their last 13 games against A.L. teams allowing 4.2 Runs per Game!
7* Play On Oakland
