There are 15 games on Wednesday's card with only one contest going in the afternoon. Cincinnati will play host to the Brewers in a business man's special at 12:35 p.m. Eastern. The rest of the games will go under the lights. Here are a few notes and nuggets that might come in handy as you prepare for bets galore.
--On paper, the 'over' looks like the play in tonight's Florida-Atlanta showdown at Dolphins Stadium. That's because the 'over' is unbeaten in Dontrelle Willis's five home starts. In addition, the 'over' is on a 7-0 run for Atlanta RHP John Thomson.
--Atlanta slugger Andruw Jones is hitting .276 against Willis, but he his homerless in 29 career at-bats. Chipper Jones has a .348 lifetime average versus the southpaw with one homer and one double in 23 ABs.
--Willis is 2-4 with a 4.96 career ERA vs. Atlanta.
--The Dodgers have won seven in a row with Brad Penny on the mound. The veteran right-hander is off to the best start of his career with a 7-1 record and 2.34 ERA. Penny gets the ball tonight at San Diego. The 'under' is 6-1 in Penny's seven road outings.
--Washington RHP Tony Armas (6-3, 3.48 ERA) will toe the rubber tonight against Colorado. The Nationals have a 6-1 record in Armas's last seven assignments. The 'over' has hit in four consecutive home starts from Armas.
--Baltimore RHP Rodrigo Lopez (4-7, 6.51) has traditionally been awful against Toronto, posting a 2-6 record and 7.25 career ERA vs. the Blue Jays.
--L.A. Angels RHP Kelvim Escobar has an 8-2 record and 2.76 lifetime ERA versus Kansas City. On the flip side, KC lefty Mark Redman is 1-4 with a 5.12 career ERA against the Angels.
--Before last night's game against Cleveland, A-Rod was hitting only .143 for the Yankees in June.
--The 'under' remains an MLB-best 40-22 for the Tigers, who also maintain the best record in all of baseball (42-23).
--Boston plays at Minnesota tonight with Tim Wakefield taking the hill. The 'under' is 10-3 in the knuckleballer's 13 starts this season.
