Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros Houston Astros -105

Bonus Play
1 Unit on Houston Astros -105
Houston avoids the sweep today against the Rangers' Brandon McCarthy, who brings in an ERA of 6.95 on the road. The Rangers are 1-7 in McCarthy's last 8 road starts and 0-4 in his last 4 starts with 4 days of rest. The Astros' Hampton has had good success in interleague play as the Astros are 4-0 in Hampton's last 4 interleague starts. Plus, the Astros are 31-11 in Hampton's last 42 starts overall and I like his chances here as the Rangers are 2-5 in their last 7 interleague road games vs. a left-handed starter. Here are the clinchers: Hampton is 23-2 against the money line in home games when pitching on Sunday since 1997 and 37-8 against the money line in home day games since 1997. Bet the Astros.

Big Al Mcmordie Bonus Play

At 2:15 pm our member selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Kansas City Royals. Despite the recent dominance of the American League over the Nationals in interleague play, this matchup clearly favors the Cards, who over their last half-dozen games have played perhaps their best ball of the season. They are going for a three-game sweep against the Royals, and although they were able to avoid KC's incredible ace Zack Greinke as well as its second best starter (Gil Meche), the Cardinals have been completely dominant in the first two games of the set, shutting out the Royals both times by identical 5-0 scores. Sure, it would have been great to see them have to face Greinke in this series (although perhaps not for them), but the fact that they didn't really should not diminish their great performance on both sides of the ball right now. One of their big surprises for the season, righthander Joel Pineiro, gets the call this afternoon for the Cards, and Pineiro is coming off of his best start of the season, a complete-game shutout at home vs. the Cubs. The near-flawless three-hitter was Pineiro's first complete game since 2006 and he has now gone three straight starts without issuing a walk. In fact, Pineiro only has issued seven walks all season in over 54 innings pitched. Like the Royals, righthander Brian Bannister seemed to be performing over his head earlier in the season and now is perhaps coming back down to earth as his last start was sub-par against a weak Cleveland team. Bannister faced the Cards twice last season, going 1-1 with a 6.94 ERA. Take the Cardinals. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

OC DOOLEY----Sunday FREE pick

"1 UNIT" NATIONAL-TV BASEBALL TOTAL (Brewers at Twins UNDER 9 in a 8:05 eastern start on ESPN-------Bush versus Baker): This is my second baseball pick of the day where INJURY news comes into play. Milwaukee starting shortstop J.J. Hardy (back) and outfielder Corey Hart (hand) both were unable to play yesterday. Due to injuries, the robust Milwaukee lineup has been able to generate only FOUR runs combined in the past couple of days. Minnesota's lineup also is ailing as designated hitter Jason Kubel (.336, 23 RBI) is out of the lineup with a knee problem. I am aware that tonight's Twins starter Scott Baker has a rather high ERA, but he was effective at the major league level a year ago and is going against a depleted Brewers lineup. The big story in tonight's pitching matchup is Milwaukee's Dave Bush who has had QUALITY starts (6+ innings/3 or less earned runs allowed) in SEVEN of his 8 season assignments. With the free-agent losses of C.C. Sabathia and Ben Sheets, it was imperative for the Brewers to have someone in the rotation step up to the plate so to speak. My database research indicates that Minnesota is 21-8 UNDER after batting at least .315 at the plate in a 5-game span. That statistic tells us not to be fooled by Minnesota's recent high offensive outputs

Baltimore Orioles at Washington Nationals

It takes a lot for the Washington Nationals to be favored, let alone actually win, but all the right factors may be in play this afternoon. Over the last two seasons, Baltimore is an atrocious 5-26 in Sunday games and that includes a 7-4 loss to KC last week. Coincidental? Possibly, but the O's must also deal with Nats starter Martis, who is 3-0 at home this year with a solid 3.29 ERA. Look for Washington to avoid the sweep.

Play on: Washington

San Francisco Giants vs. Seattle Mariners
Play: San Francisco Giants

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on SF as they face Seattle. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 43-8 since 1997 making 33.5 units since 1997 for 84% winners. Play against any team that is a poor AL hitting team hitting <=.260 facing a good NL starting pitcher posting an ERA <=3.70 and is a cold hitting team batting .240 or worse over their last 15 games. Seattle is just 3-13 (-16.0 Units) against the money line in home games vs. an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 to 4.20 since 1997. Take SF.

The Blue Jays are on a 4-game losing streak and they are just hanging on to top spot in the AL. This afternoon they send Richmond to the mound to end the losing. Richmond is 4-2 on the year and the Blue Jays are 6-2 when he starts. Atlanta is 5-11 in their last 16 games as a home favorite. In their last 14 games vs. a right-handed starter they are 4-10. In Jurrjens last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record the Braves are 1-4. The Jays are 12-5 in the last 17 meetings. Play on the Toronto Blue Jays +.

stu feiner is a hack. budin is a hack. 1990's cappers, reached noterierty before the internet held them up to accountability. No records. No honesty. NO GOOD.
Sit back, follow them, and let them cut your bankroll to shreds.
