NY Mets +1.13 over WASHINGTON
The Nationals are 4-20 over its last 24 games, 3-11 over its last 14 home games, they were swept at home yesterday by the Giants and they’re what, about 20 games out in the first week of June. Very nice team. Now, after hanging around the park yesterday for about 14 hours or more and losing twice, they’re right back at it and if, as the players say, baseball is 90% mental, then the Nats should be in an asylum any time now. This Washington team has to be feeling almost embarrassed and being at home in front of tiny crowds can’t help their psyche much either. Not only are they losing but they’ve stopped scoring runs now too, as they’ve scored two runs or less in five of its last nine contests. You think they feel like playing baseball? I think not, as this is a group of players that are so mentally damaged right now that laying juice with them is very likely to be detrimental to your bankroll. The Mets have to be feeling rather excited about coming here. Does it matter who’s pitching? Play: NY Mets +1.13 (Risking 2 units). <o></o>

Milwaukee +1.03 over ATLANTA
You’ll have to excuse me, as I crap in my pants over the Braves picking up Nate McClouth from the Pirates. Yeah, McClouth is a decent player but the media is making him out to be the second coming of Chipper Jones, when in fact, he is not. McClouth is hitting .256 this year and he’s a .262 career hitter. He does have power and he’s a damn good centerfielder but if you think he’s going to turn this offensively challenged offense into a feared one, think again. What I do know is that Yollandi Gallardo is a monster out there and when he pitches the Brewers usually win. He’s coming off a short outing in which he went 5.2 innings against the Reds and threw just 97 pitches. He came out early because the Brewers had the lead and prior to that he shut out the Cardinals in eight innings in a 1-0 win in which he threw 127 pitches. The Brewers are 7-3 when he starts and he ranks among the league leaders in every key pitching category. The Braves will send out the always-tough Jair Jurrjens but when comparing the two, Gallardo is still more dangerous and by the way, so is the Brewers offense. Play: Milwaukee +1.03 (Risking 2 units). <o></o>

Philadelphia +1.27 over LOS ANGELES
Pretty easy pulling the trigger on the red-hot Phillies right now, especially at this price and against this pitcher. The Phillies have won seven in a row and 16 of its last 20 games. Wow. They came in here last night and beat the Dodgers 3-0 and have now beaten L.A. in 10 of their last 13 match-ups. Furthermore, the Dodgers are laboring at the plate right now, having scored two runs or less in six of its last eight games. That includes one run against Jon Garland, two against Billy Buckner and one against Ted Lilly. Eric Milton goes for the Dodgers and although he’s pitched well, don’t be fooled. This guy has been off for 1½-years and picked up his first win in three years two starts ago. He was a below average pitcher before his layoff and he’s no better now. Anyway, the Phillies are feeling it right now and it’s rarely bad strategy playing on a scorching hot team. Play: Philadelphia +1.27 (Risking 2 units).
