    Last day before the call-up.. Going for a 5-0 day ;)
    Twins RL +160, $100 to win $160The Rangers have feasted against RHP all season to the tune of 39-28, a full 11 games over the .500 mark. The offense has been slowed by LHP however, where they have been a not-so successful 11-18, or seven games below .500, and an even worse 4-10 on the road. One of the losses was to Perkins, the pitcher on the hill for the Twins tonight. Probably the most significant stat of all is the fact that in the 10 losses on the road, the Rangers lost all 10 games by two runs or more. The Rangers are all about offense and LHP has neutralized it, while their pitching has left a bit to be desired, including tonight's starter, Kevin Millwood who enters with a 5.28 ERA.

    D'Backs +104, $100 to win $104
    The Dodgers have not exactly been a force as a favorite on the road where they have logged an 8-10 record. Heroki Kuroda has saved his best starts for LA where the Dodgers are 5-3. The road has been a different story where the Dodgers have been just 3-6 dropping four of his last five starts. Doug Davis has really feasted against the Dodgers where he owns a career 1.33 ERA in 41 innings against them. Take a shot at the D'Backs in this one.

    Mariners RL +160, $100 to win $160
    Cleveland finally won some games, but it took a team colder than them to do it. They did it against the Rays who have now dropped seven straight. Aaron Laffey completed May with a 1.59 ERA, but has since pitched to a five ERA, and the Tribe has lost four of his last five starts. Felix Hernandez has allowed just 24 hits in his last 38 innings pitched, while striking out 39, and has demonstrated the stuff he was credited with when he first arrived in the bigs. Seattle has now won five of his last six starts, and I can see them win big here. I like the Mariners on the RL. Hernandez has been 6-3 in his wins vs. the runline, while Laffey is yet to cover a runline on the road in games he has lost.

    Mets -111, $111 to win $100
    Hot teams like the Mets find ways to win. Last night the Mets plated four runs in the ninth to grab their 10th straight win, so getting a team on fire at virtually even odds always shows value. After a few shaky starts, John Maine has become the pitcher he was last season, and the Mets have found the win column in four of his last five, also winning three of his last four road starts. Bronson Arroyo has had a forgettable season. He brings a 5.97 ERA into this game and the Mets are a red-hot on offense right now. The Mets are averaging 6.2 runs a game over their last 10, and the pitching has been superb, recording four shutouts.

    WhiteSox -150, $150 to win $100 *POD*
    The Sox have been strong at home all year posting a 32-13 record so far. The Royals havn't been a bad road team with a 21-29 record, but they should struggle to win this one even with Greinke on the mound as they'v droped 3 of tehir L4 on the road (also that was against a cold Rays team). The Sox got the best pitcher in the matchup with Buehrle posting a 1.80 ERA in his L3 vs Greinke posting a 4.00 ERA in his L3.
    The Sox are 4-1 in Buehrles last 5 home starts and 8-1 in his last 9 starts vs. Royals. Also the Sox are 13-3 in Buehrles last 16 home starts vs. Royals. Meanwhile the Royals are 0-5 in Greinkes last 5 road starts vs. White Sox.

      While you've given us some nice stats/information to back CWS tonight, I think you would be remiss in not noting that the Royals are pretty strong against left-handed pitching (17-12, .586%, +9.1 units)which is really amazing when you consider that against right-handed pitching they are abysmal (26-41, .388%, -11.8 units).

      Not saying don't play CWS, but am saying based on past performences this year, KC does exceptionally well against LHP.

      Good luck!

        I know that the Royals got a good shot today, but I just like the CWS's home record and Buehrle to much... GL what ever team your on tonight...

        For the Phillies game... I like them tonight, but I always get burned on them... The only time I won, I was betting against them (@OAK).. So im gonnna stay away from this one, but GL on it
