      Going to put a couple of picks I think that are worth taking a look at. Here we go,Best of Luck:
      Detroit Tigers -158 and am leaning towards the -1.5 line for +130
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Detroit has thrived in interleague games with a 38-15 record in their last 53 games and Detroit is a red hot 10-2 over their last 12 games. Detroit is hitting .295 as a team at home this season while averaging 5.8 rpg and Detroit is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings against St. Louis. Kenny Rogers (5-4, 4.36 ERA) has pitched solid over his last 3 starts with an ERA of just 1.23 while allowing 14 hits over just 22 innings. The Tigers are 5-1 when Rogers has started for them at home this season and 6-3 when he has pitched as a favorite.
      Baltimore Orioles +121 to end the winning streak for the Cubbies
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I finally get to see Carlos Zambrano's replacement on Tuesday, and the fact of the matter is that Sean Marshall would not be in the majors if the Cubs ace wasn't on the DL right now. Marshall struggled earlier this season in relief, as Chicago lost six straight games in which he made an appearance. The Orioles are hitting .274 against lefties this year and will be making their first-ever appearance at Wrigley Field. I expect them to be highly motivated by this factor similar to the Reds playing at Yankee Stadium last weekend. The Cubs are also coming off a huge three-game sweep of their crosstown rivals over the weekend and are due for a major letdown here, and also end their streak. That's why I am betting Chicago's 14-game home winning streak will come to an end and will back Baltimore in this spot.
      Baltimore is 8-3 this year when playing on Tuesday.
      Baltimore is 31-18 at night this year.
      Chicago Cubs are 435-471 after a win since 1997.
      Baltimore bullpen has a 3.20 ERA overall this year and a 3.20 ERA on the road this season. Guthrie has a 3.51 ERA overall this year, 3.78 ERA on the road this year and a 3.20 ERA his last 3 starts.
      Texas Rangers & Houston A$$tros +110 Under 10
      ---------------------------------------------------------
      Under is 4-1 in Rangers last 5 overall and 4-1 in Rangers last 5 vs. a team with a losing record. Under is 4-1 in Astros last 5 overall and 6-1-1 in Moehler's last 8 starts overall. The Under is also 4-1 in Moehler's last 5 home starts. Within this series these two have played to the Under in 5 of the last 7 meetings in Houston.
      Texas Rangers +110
      ------------------------
      The Rangers have taken 5 of the last 7 in this in-state rivalry and I expect their domination to continue in this series. The Astros are 0-5 in their last 5 home games, 2-7 in their last 9 interleague games, and just 7-19 in their last 26 overall. The Rangers are 5-0 in their last 5 games following an off day, 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games, and 23-9 in their last 32 games vs. a right-handed starter. The public doesn't here much about the Rangers outside the Texas area, but this team can hit and they especially against right hand pitchers.
      Chicago White SOX +104
      -----------------------------
      The Chicago White Sox will come into this series against the Dodgers with revenge on their minds. They got embarrassed by the Cubs after getting swept in their last series and Ace Mark Buehrle is just the guy that can get them off the hide. Buehrle owns a 1.20 career ERA against the Dodgers after pitching a complete game shutout in his last start against L.A. Buehrle is 2-0 with a miniscule 1.50 ERA over his last 3 starts. The Dodgers are 1-9 (-10.1 Units) against the money line vs teams who strand 6.9 or less runners on base per game this season. The Sox will have plenty of base runners against Derek Lowe tonight and their RBI guys will knock ‘em home as they have done so well all season.

          8 units, and I hope to get 5 of 8, or better:
          +1 1/2 Pit -120 1 unit
          Pit +132 1 unit
          -1 1/2 Det +130 1 unit
          -145 LAA 1 unit
          +112 Bal 1 unit
          -147 KC
          +143 Min

          Why?
          Pit +1 1/2 -120: Getting a run at home at this price with their ace on the mound is good value.
          Pit: Rasner has + five era on the road, going to a hitters' friendly park.
          Det -1 1/2 +130: Kitties seem to be covering their run lines, lately. The Gambler has tons of rest, and has been awesome, lately
          LAA: Won 8 inter-leagues, tied for third most in the majors
          Bal: Won 8 inter-leagues, tied for third most in the majors
          Bos: Won 8 inter-leagues, tied for third most in the majors
          Min: Won 9 inter leagues, second most in the majors and have won six in a row.
          KC: Won 10 inter-laeagues, most in the majors and are playing the friggin Rockies.
          By Now, you may have figured out the strategy. 5 of 8 is all I'm going for, for a winning day.

                TODAY'S FREE PLAY: 6/24/08 - KC -150
                I like the Royals and Greinke to handle the Rockies tonight in this one. KC is quietly 8-1 in their last 9 games. Greinke has had his ups and downs this season, but has maintained a 2.37 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Rockies are 6-21 in their last 27 road games. The Royals are 5-1 in Greinke's last 6 home starts. Royals should pull this one out here tonight.
                Good Luck!

                    0-1-1 Yesterday - bad day. 4-2-2 overall....some winners tonight.

                    3 Plays:

                    Cubs - 1.80 - gonna ride the streak
                    Angels - 1.73 - burned me on run line yesterday - Nats are terrible - keep betting against them
                    Philly/Oak - OVER 8.5 - 1.87 - should go over by the 6th inning

                        AJ Burnett has been especially average at home with a 3-3 record and an 8.16 ERA. He's also just 1-3 for his career vs. CIN. Cincy should have some confidence after taking two of three from the Yankees.

                                  7 of 8 I'm killing it, lately. I'll admit that Halos win was dicey. I thought Saunders was alright, but I could have accepted the lost.
                                  The one I did lose was the Tigers run line. I thought that the Tigers were gonna getr blew out, or they were gonna blow out the Cards. I didn't know that Sheffield came back. Motown ai'nt too happy about this cancer getting back into the locker room.
                                  But the rest, I felt convinced. Anyways, I'm rolling and it feels great. I'll post picks in the morning.
