San Francisco Giants vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Pick: San Francisco Giants -124 odds

San Francisco continues to fight for its playoff life and won 2-0 in extra innings over Arizona yesterday. Today, Tim Lincecum and Barry Enright will be mound opponents for the third time since July 25, having split a pair. Lincecum was sharp in last outing breaking recent slump, but the D-Backs Enright is a ground ball inducing machine and is 6-2 with 2.45 ERA this season. The Giants have done little with Enright in the two times they have faced him, scoring two total runs, in spite of ranking 14th in batting average at .259 and 17th in runs scored at 4.4 per game.

For today, look to Play On clubs when the money line is +125 to -125, with team batting average between .255 to .269, against a very good NL starting pitcher (ERA of 3.00 or lower), playing on Tuesday. This MLB system delivers results at 38-12, including 10-2 this year.

Doug Upstone suggests you to pick up a baseball winner in the junior circuit, backed with a system that is 113-36, at a great price today.

New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles
Pick: Baltimore Orioles +348

3* graded play on Baltimore as they take on the Yankees set to start at 7:05 EST. Sabathia will go for his 20th win tonight, but he is going to have work very hard for that win tonight. Our proprietary sports handicapping model and simulator shows a meaningful probability that Baltimore will win this game. Baltimore has produced offensively since Showalter took over the team. Over the most recent seven games they have batting 292 with a 350 OBP scoring 5.1 RPG. Orioles are also 5-0 (+10.9 Units) against the money line versus AL teams scoring 5.2 or more runs per game in the second half of this season; 16-8 (+20.3 Units) against the money line versus teams outscoring opponents by 0.5 or more runs per game in the second half of this season. Showalter is also 32-15 (+24.5 Units) against the money line in road games versus teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits per game in the second half of the season in all games he has managed since 1997. This is clearly an opportunity get down with a small chuck of change and get paid better than 3/1 for a dog whose team members have had success against Sabathia. Orioles starter Arrieta did very well in his only start against the Yankees allowing just three earned on four hits and worked six complete innings on June 10. Take the Orioles.

Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -118
Similar to the Angels, the Red Sox are a team that is used to playing in the postseason but will be sitting on the sidelines this year. They have bravely battled through tremendous injuries that would have devastated a weaker club. But now that Dustin Pedroia is out for the year the Sox have folded the tent. They have dropped 6 of their last 8 games with wins over the Orioles being the only saving grace from a complete collapse. Tampa Bay has taken 6 of the last 7 meetings in this series as they continue to run the Red Sox ragged. The Ray’s speed has been too much for Boston to compete with and the Sox just don’t have the same offense without their injured stars. Tampa continues to battle the Yankees for the division title while the Sox plan their early vacations.

Pick: San Francisco Giants -118
San Francisco is 77-61 overall this year and sits one game behind NL West Division leader San Diego, while Arizona comes in with a 56-82 overall record on the season. San Francisco is 6-1 this year as a road favorite of -120 to -150. San Francisco has now won 5 of their last 6 games overall. Arizona has lost 3 games in a row heading into tonight’s contest. San Francisco bullpen has a 3.35 ERA overall this year. Arizona bullpen has a 5.87 ERA overall this year and a 5.47 ERA at home this season. Tim Lincecum has struggled lately but still owns a 3.68 ERA overall this year and a 3.49 ERA on the road this season. I’m looking for Lincecum to break this slump here tonight. His last outing he did pitch 8 innings and got the win over Jiminez and Colorado allowing only one run. Lincecum is 5-2 with a 2.61 ERA overall vs Arizona since 1997. We’ll recommend a small play on San Francisco tonight! Thanks and good luck

Pick: Los Angeles Angels -121
Last place Cleveland is a long way from home, with the third worst offense in the AL. Erratic Justin Masterson (5-12, 5.01 ERA) is getting too much respect with this betting line. Masterson’s start was pushed to Tuesday, as he had to go home to deal with a family matter. This could be Masterson’s final start of the season, as the club is mulling moving him to the bullpen to limit his innings count. Trevor Bell of the Angels has been very good, with a 3.63 ERA his last three starts and the Indians haven’t seen him in 2010. Play the LA Angels.

Texas Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays
MLB Pick: Over 9 Runs -110 odds

At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays ‘over’ the total. Many of the American League teams who face tough pennant battles down the stretch made moves within the past several weeks to shore up their pitching staffs. Other than acquiring lefthander Cliff Lee at the trade deadline (and some very minor signings like Jesus Colume), the Rangers have not been one of those teams and they head into September with pretty much the same staff with which they went into the season. This strategy could prove costly as Texas has seen numerous injuries to its staff with a total of eight hurlers either injured, on the DL, or lost for the rest of the season at this point and its staff ERA has been the worst in the league over the past seven days at 5.75. One of those injured pitchers gets to try to prove that he can come back tonight as righthander Scott Feldman makes his 26th appearance (21st start), and first start since July 24th. Feldman was moved into the bullpen after struggling in the first half of the season and then was placed on the DL, but will try to put all that behind him as he fills in for the injured Lee (back pain). It’s a tough comeback assignment for Feldman who is 0-3 with a 5.94 ERA in eight appearances (five starts) against the Jays. Righthander Shaun Marcum would like to improve on his numbers against the Rangers as the current ace of the Toronto staff has a 5.33 ERA in just over 25 innings pitched against Texas. This has all the makings of a high-scoring contest. Take the ‘over.’ As always, good luck….
