CLE's starter tomorrow is 5-4 with a 2.78 ERA away from Jacobs Field. He's only 8-10 with a 4.25 ERA overall, though.

"Yesterday I told told you the rule of thumb in MLB betting, is that when you find a streaking team that is contending for a title, ride it out for awhile.

And as I also said, there are guidelines to streak-betting I won't divulge ...

What I can tell you is that while the Rays are playing well right now, I don't like them coming off a 14-run marathon that saw them win 8-6 yesterday, then have to fly to the West Coast, and will end up playing at what will be 1:10 a.m. eastern time in this opener.

Especially in facing Trevor Cahill.

There's a reason the A's are laying -130 to the American League East co-leaders, and it's because of this young arm that had emerged as the staff ace.

Over his last four starts he has a stifling 0.28 ERA, having allowed just one earned run along the way, in his last start, against the Twins in seven innings of work.

Just looking at his last eight starts - in which he has produced a 2.14 - his opponents have included the Yankees, Angels, White Sox, Twins and the Rangers twice. Thus, he will be battle-tested for a team like the Rays, and should dominate them when you factor in the travel intangible.

List Cahill only, and side with Oakland.

5♦ ATHLETICS "

Yes, all the dogs are barking, but the Cubs are a special dog.

OK so it's up to 7.5 now but juiced at -115. Can get under 7 at +118 now or be safe with under 8 at -135. Not that I'd ever lay that kind of juice on a total. Just saying this is likely to be a 6 run game.

nice call on the yanks LB..turning ur baseball around quite nicely...cant wait for football

**JR007** · 08-19-10, 05:43 PM

The Reds won their fifth game in a row pulling out an 11-7 victory on Wednesday night after trailing 7-3 through seven innings.

The Reds are riding a lot of momentum. Arizona, on the other hand, is playing the string out. The Diamondbacks are not drawing any fans, negating any home-field edge, and continue to play sloppy defense while having one of the worst bullpens in baseball.

The pitching matchup is a battle of southpaws, rookie Travis Wood against transplanted American Leaguer Joe Saunders.

Wood has been tremendous going 3-1 with a 2.65 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. The Reds were concerned about his innings so they skipped his last big-league start. Wood last pitched in the majors back on Aug. 8. He should be rested and ready.

The Diamondbacks are 13-20 against left-handers. They also are six games below .500 at Chase Field their home ballpark.

This will be Saunders' fifth National League start. The new league is starting to figure him out. Saunders has surrendered nine earned runs and 18 hits during his past two starts spanning 14 innings.

The Reds have the offense to take advantage ranking in the top five in runs and batting average. Saunders has been prone to the long ball having given up 18 homers this year, including one during each of his last six starts.

**JR007** · 08-19-10, 05:44 PM

Arizona has absolutely no bullpen. These guys are terrible as obvious by their allowing eight runs in the final two innings of the 11-7 loss to the Reds on Wednesday after their offense got them a 7-3 lead. Bank on the Reds to beat the bad pitching again and win this Thursday game behind young lefty Travis Wood (3-1, 2.65 ERA).

Wood has a 3-0 record on the road with a 2.80 ERA and he looked good in his outing on Saturday with Louisville as he prepped with two innings of scoreless baseball. He made four straight road starts for the Reds in late July and early August and they won all four outings. He kept the Reds in each game and the offense came around and got him the victory.

Joe Saunders (1-2, 3.86 ERA) is on the mound for Arizona, making his fifth start in a D’Backs’ uniform. They have dropped three of his previous four, including Friday’s at Washington when he allowed four runs on 10 hits in six innings of a 4-2 loss. His last home start was ugly too as he gave up six runs in six innings to the Padres, losing 10-1.

Cincinnati has won seven straight games in the Arizona desert and they are 15-3 in the last 18 meetings overall with the D’Backs. The Reds are on further streaks of 6-0 on the road, 6-1 as favorites, 5-1 against the N.L. West and 22-8 when they are on the road against teams with losing home records.

Meanwhile, Arizona is on slides of 16-36 as a home underdog, 4-10 against winning teams, 8-21 in the third game of a series, 2-6 on Thursdays and 1-5 overall.

Arizona is just a bad team and not playing very good baseball. Go with Cincinnati to get the win and continue to dominate the D’Backs. Play the Reds.
