Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves Thursday September 4, 2008 7:10 pm
BRAVES – The Nationals have certainly been the hotter of these two clubs recently but the pitching match-up in today’s game is an absolute key as to why Atlanta gets back on track Thursday. Yes, contrarian handicapping is a staple we turn to often for profits and this ... read more

JAYS – The Twins keep finding ways to lose as they blew a 5-1 lead in yesterday’s 7-5 loss to the Jays. It won’t get any easier against Toronto on Wednesday as Minnesota has lost seven straight games to the Blue Jays. Also, the Twins bullpen has suddenly become ... read more

New York Mets @ Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday September 3, 2008 2:05 pm
BREWERS – With yesterday’s extra inning win, the Mets do have a chance to sweep the Brewers by taking Wednesday’s final game in this series. However, this hasn’t happened in over four years and we don’t expect it to happen now either! Give credit to ... read more

Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres Sunday August 31, 2008 4:05 pm
PADRES – Jake Peavy is worth the price here. He simply gives the Padres a huge edge on the mound here because Jeff Francis of the Rockies is still trying to get back to full strength. Since he came off of the disabled list, Francis has allowed 30 hits in 24.3 innings and he’s ... read more

Atlanta Braves @ Washington Nationals Friday August 29, 2008 7:35 pm
BRAVES – Yes, we have to lay a bit of a price here but Atlanta is well worth it! The Braves have a big pitching edge in this match-up. Also, while the National are actually getting some hype right now (just swept the Dodgers), it’s overshadowing the fact that the Braves ... read more

Cincinnati Reds @ Houston Astros Thursday August 28, 2008 2:05 pm
ASTROS – Cincinnati snuck out a win in Game One of this series. But, after yesterday’s 4-1 loss, another loss today would mean a fifth straight series that the Reds will have lost to the Astros. Indeed, Houston seems to have Cincinnati’s number right now and, truthfully, ... read more

Minnesota Twins @ Seattle Mariners Wednesday August 27, 2008 4:40 pm
UNDER Mariners – So far in this series only one truly solid pitcher has started and yet both games have stayed under the total. Francisco Liriano of the Twins went in Game One of this series on Monday. Just as in his prior start he struggled with his command and yet the Mariners ... read more

Minnesota Twins @ Seattle Mariners Tuesday August 26, 2008 10:10 pm
OVER mariners – We watched last night’s game and what we witnessed was a ton of wasted opportunities. Considering the low total on yesterday’s game it easily could have gotten over the total but key double plays, guys getting thrown out at the dish, etc. were all ... read more

Texas Rangers @ Kansas City Royals Tuesday August 26, 2008 8:10 pm
ROYALS – After getting trounced 9-4 last night, look for the Royals to bounce right back tonight. Sure, their record does not impress but did you realize that the Rangers were five games below .500 heading into this series. They certainly are not known for their road prowess ... read more

Cincinnati Reds @ Houston Astros Tuesday August 26, 2008 8:05 pm
ASTROS – After getting crushed 9-1 by the NL East-leading New York Mets last night, look for the Astros to now take advantage of facing a much weaker foe! Houston is happy to be back home at Minute Maid Park where they are a respectable 34-28 this season. They also are happy ... read more

Los Angeles Dodgers @ Philadelphia Phillies Monday August 25, 2008 7:05 pm
PHILLIES – As we noted in yesterday’s analysis, the Phillies desired revenge in a big way heading into this series. Less than two weeks ago, the Phils got swept in a four game series at Dodger Stadium that knocked them out of their first place position in the NL East. ... read more

Florida Marlins @ San Francisco Giants Thursday August 21, 2008 3:45 pm
OVER giants – Neither one of these teams is really known for their offensive prowess but, of course, that is what gives us value in a situation like this. That’s because we can play an over on a low number based on reputation when the situation is ripe for a slugfest. ... read more

Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers Wednesday August 20, 2008 8:05 pm

San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday August 19, 2008 9:40 pm
UNDER dbax/padres – If you’re looking for offense, as a general rule, don’t look to the NL West other than some crazy games in Colorado. The Padres, Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks are earning their reputation for lower-scoring games and that should continue in ... read more
