Big Al Mcmordie

Game: Houston Astros at Cincinnati Reds
Prediction: Cincinnati Reds

At 1:15 pm our member selection is on the the Cincinnati Reds over the Houston Astros. 30 year-old righthanded veteran and Reds' strikeout artist Aaron Harang will be activated from the disabled list today in order to make his comeback start in this game. It will be Harang's first start since July 8 when he went down with a forearm strain. But this game is much less about Harang's comeback than it is about another righthanded strikeout pitcher on this roster: Edinson Volquez. Volquez looked like an early season favorite for the NL Cy Young award, but lately he has been getting rocked and something is clearly wrong with either his mechanics or conditioning. So the Reds want to get skip Volquez this time around which will give him two days off and allow him to face the Pirates when that series begins on Tuesday in Pittsburgh. With the Reds in last place and out of the hunt for the postseason, Cincy management doesn't want to do anything to risk the health of what could be a very potent rotation in 2009, so it wants to be very careful with Volquez. The Reds likely will also be careful with Harang and monitor his pitch count closely, but this looks like a great comeback spot for him. Prior to his injury, Harang had been pretty effective at home (3.88 ERA) and although he hasn't faced the Astros yet in '08, he was dominant against them last season winning two of three starts with an ERA of 3.32. Lefty Wandy Rodriguez goes for the 'Stros, and he has really struggled lately and things may not get any better for him this afternoon as the Reds are hitting 25 points higher vs. lefties than righties (.264 vs. .239). Take Cincy.

Minnesota -115 at KANSAS CITY

Break out the brooms today in KC, as Minnesota just owns this Kansas City club.

With their win last night, Minnesota is 7-1 in games played at Kansas City, and 9-2 overall in the season series. You want more domination? The Twins are 18-9 at Kauffman Stadium since 2006, and 30-18 overall versus the Royals in that same span.

Baker will go against Meche, and while Baker has been hit hard of late, he has turned in some solid numbers against Kansas City, winning his last 4 starts against them, allowing just 7 runs in 30 innings of work.

Gil Meche will go for Kansas City, and Meche has certainly been rolling with wins in his last 4 starts, but the Twins have been able to beat Meche in both of his starts against them this year, scoring 11 runs in 12 frames of work.

Gotta stick with the Minnesota momentum today.

Play on the Twins to break out the broom.
4* Twins

Reason:


Cleveland ends up a small road Favorites here as they start Lee on the mound in Toronto on Sunday.

Total pitching mismatch as he faces Scott Richmond, who's been shelled for a combined 6 Earned Runs in his last 11 Innings Pitched.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Florida (61-56) at N.Y. Mets (62-54)
Red-hot Mike Pelfrey (10-7, 3.85 ERA) leads the Mets against Josh Johnson (2-0, 3.34) and the Marlins as these two N.L. East rivals wrap up a three-game series at Shea Stadium. New York has taken the first two games by scores of 3-0 and 8-6, moving to 4-1 in its last five. The Mets are on further runs of 15-3 at home, 7-1 on Sunday and 10-1 with Pelfrey starting.
Florida has dropped four of its last six to drop into third pace in the N.L. East, a half-game behind New York. On the bright side, the Marlins are 5-0 in Johnson?s five starts this season and 7-2 in his last nine road starts.
New York has won eight of 11 meetings with Florida this season, but the Mets are 0-4 in Pelfrey?s last four starts against the Fish.
Pelfrey has been on a tear the last two months, going 8-1 with two no-decisions (both Mets wins), while posting a 3.15 ERA along the way. On Tuesday against San Diego, he yielded two runs on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings in a 6-5 victory, the Mets? sixth straight home win behind Pelfrey.
The 24-year-old Johnson, whose first outing of the season came a month ago after his comeback from elbow surgery, has earned two straight wins. On Tuesday at Philadelphia, he threw six shutout innings of five-hit ball in an 8-2 rout.
Pelfrey is 6-4 with a 2.29 ERA in 12 home starts this season, but he?s 1-3 with an inflated 6.39 ERA in five career starts against Florida. Johnson is 1-0 with a 2.76 ERA in three road starts this year and 3-0 with a 1.52 ERA in four career appearances against New York.
In this rivalry, the over is on runs of 15-3-2 overall, 7-1-2 at Shea Stadium and 4-1 with Pelfrey facing Florida. For New York, the over streaks include 11-2-2 against right-handers and 7-0-2 with Pelfrey facing winning teams. Finally, the over is 29-11-5 in Floriday?s last 45 road games and 9-3 in Johnson?s last 12 starts.
ATS ADVANTAGE: N.Y. METS and OVER




St. Louis (65-54) at Chicago Cubs (70-47)
The streaking Cubs send Ryan Dempster (12-5, 2.93 ERA) to the hill at Wrigley Field to wrap up a three-game set against the N.L. Central rival Cardinals and Chris Carpenter (0-0, 1.00).
The teams split the first two games, with Chicago winning 3-2 in 10 innings Friday and St. Louis cruising 12-3 Saturday. Chicago remains on a 10-3 overall tear and is on additional runs of 6-1 against winning teams, 10-3 in division play and 12-3 behind Dempster at home.
Despite yesterday?s win, the Cardinals have still dropped four of their last seven and they?re in the midst of further funks of 1-5 inside the division and 4-11 against winning teams. In addition, the Cubs have owned this rivalry lately, winning 16 of the last 21 clashes, including four of the last six at Wrigley.
Dempster, who at one point was 10-0 at home this year, has gone 0-2 with a no-decision (also a Cubs loss) in his last three outings at Wrigley. On Monday against Houston, he yielded two runs on five hits in five innings but departed after a lengthy rain delay and got no offensive support in a 2-0 loss.
Carpenter, the 2005 N.L. Cy Young winner, missed all of last season after having elbow surgery and is making just his third start since coming back July 30. On Tuesday against the Dodgers, he threw five shutout innings, allowing three hits and no walks but got a no-decision in a 6-4 Cardinals win. Like Dempster, Carpenter was forced from his last outing after a long rain delay.
Dempster is 10-2 with a 2.77 ERA in 14 home starts this year, but 4-5 with a 5.09 ERA in 34 career appearances (eight starts) against St. Louis. Carpenter has just one road start this season, getting a no-decision in a 7-2 win over Atlanta, and he?s 7-2 with a 3.07 ERA in 13 career starts against Chicago.
The under is 8-1 in Dempster?s last nine home starts and has cashed in four of the last six in this rivalry, but the over for St. Louis is on streaks of 10-3-1 overall, 9-1-1 on the highway and 11-1-1 facing righties on the road.
ATS ADVANTAGE: CHICAGO CUBS




AMERICAN LEAGUE

Boston (67-50) at Chicago White Sox (64-51)
The White Sox give the ball to Gavin Floyd (11-6, 3.66 ERA) for the third game of a four-game set at U.S. Cellular Field against the Red Sox, who will counter with Clay Buchholz (2-7, 5.94). The teams have split the first two games, with Boston winning 6-2 on Saturday. The White Sox are 38-18 at home this year, and they are on runs of 21-10 against right-handed starters and 10-3 in Floyd?s last 13 starts.
Boston has won six of its last eight games, but the Red Sox are still on slides of 17-37 on the road against winning teams, 1-8 when Buchholz works on the road and 1-6 overall behind Buchholz.
This is the first series of the year between these two teams, but Boston is 8-1 in the last nine contests going back to 2007, including 5-1 in Chicago.
The White Sox are 3-0 in Floyd?s last three starts, although the right-hander did get roughed up a bit Tuesday against Detroit, allowing five runs on eight hits in four innings and getting a no-decision as the Sox scored four runs in the 14th inning to rally for a 10-8 home win. Chicago is 7-1 in Floyd?s last eight starts at U.S. Cellular.
Buchholz hasn?t gotten a win since May 2, and he?s 0-4 with a no-decision since returning from a minor-league stint July 11. On Monday at Kansas City, he allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings of a 4-3 loss, Boston?s sixth setback in Buchholz?s last seven trips to the hill.
Floyd is 7-2 with a 2.93 ERA in 12 home starts this season, and this will be 25-year-old?s first start against Boston ? though he does have one relief appearance, giving up four runs on four hits in 3 2/3 innings of a 10-1 home loss last year. Buchholz, meanwhile, is 0-5 with a bloated 7.68 ERA in eight road starts this year, and this will be the 23-year-old?s first career appearance against Chicago.
The first two games in this series have stayed under the total, snapping ?over? streaks of 7-0 overall in this rivalry and 6-0 in six meetings in Chicago. Still, the over for the White Sox is on runs of 16-6-1 overall, 4-0 with Floyd starting and 6-1-1 in Floyd?s last eight outings at U.S. Cellular. Finally, the over has cashed in four of Buchholz?s last five road starts.
ATS ADVANTAGE: CHICAGO WHITE SOX and OVER
