Boston (Penny) -105 / Atlanta (Hanson) 1:35 ET 2 Units
Boston 1 Atlanta 2 Lose
Atlanta's newest pitching prospect has been perfect so far in his debut season... that is the Braves are a perfect 4-0 in Hanson's 4 starts but that's where the perfection ends. Taking a look at his numbers makes it look more magical than perfect. Tommy Hanson has managed to work his way out of jam after jam this season and he will soon come to find out that that's not how to make a living at the big league level. Now we're not saying Hanson won't make it big but he's far from proven. In his 4 starts he's 3-0 with a WHIP of 1.55 yet an ERA of just 3.13... something's wrong with this picture. Taking his first start out of the equation (an 8-7 Atlanta win with Hanson giving up 6 hits and 6 ER's), in his 3 latest starts Hanson has pitched 17 innings giving up 16 hits and 14 walks but has only allowed a total of 2 runs!! So THAT"S a WHIP of 1.76 and an ERA of 0.94.... get the picture? It's going to soon be "welcome to the big league's Tommy Hanson" and why not today as he faces the red hot Red Sox, winners of 6 of their last 7. And remember, Atlanta has now lost 4 in a row and that in itself is a tide turner for a pitcher dancing through raindrops like Hanson has been.
Tampa Bay (Price) -1.5 Runs (+120) / Florida (Miller) 1:35 ET 1 Unit

Oakland 1 Colorado 3 Lose
Parlay: Oakland (ML) -110 & Over 7.5 Runs (-120) Risk 0.5/Unit to make 1.25 Units
Oakland 1 Colorado 3 Lose
We'll risk a unit here with the possible return of 2.10 Units as opposed to the 0.91/Unit yield a straight play only on Oakland -110 would give us. We're basing this play on Colorado's Cook having a sub par outing this afternoon so this is the only way for us to play the game. AND we can still show a profit with a split of our 2 plays.
LA Angels (Palmer) +130 / Arizona (Scherzer) 4:10 ET 1 Unit

Under 9 Runs (-110) San Francisco (Zito) / Milwaukee (Mcclung) 7:05 ET 1 Unit
San Francisco 6 Milwaukee 7 Lose
Over 10.5 Runs (-110) Washington (Martis) / Baltimore (Guthie) 7:05 ET 1 Unit
Washington 3 Baltimore 6 Lose
San Diego - Texas 2 Plays Total Risk 1.5 Units
Texas (Holland) -1.5 Runs (+120) / San Diego (Correia) 8:05 ET 1 Unit
Texas 3 San Diego 7 Lose
Parlay: Texas (ML) -155 & Over 10.5 Runs (Even) Risk 0.5/Unit to win 1.14 Units
Texas 3 San Diego 7 Lose
We stand to make 2.34 Units for our 1.5 Unit risk. A 1.5 Unit play on Texas -155 would only yield less than a unit (0.97/unit), so as long as Texas doesn't win a 1 run low scoring game, this will prove to be the correct way to play this game. We're getting overall odds here of +150 for a Texas -1.5 Run cover and Over 10.5 and if we split our 2 pays, we'll either make 0.70/Unit (almost as much as the Texas straight play only) or 0.14/Unit. So since our reasoning for these plays revolves around our feeling that SD's Kevin Correia will be hit hard by this hot Ranger lineup, we like our position.
Colorado (De La Rosa) +124 / Oakland (Cahill) 9:05 ET 1 Unit
Colorado 11 Oakland 9 Winner
Over 8 Runs (-105) Seattle (Herenandez) / LA Dodgers (Milton) 10:10 ET 1.75 Untis

Friday 6/26: +2.66 Units (Volume: 8.00 Units)
San Francisco - Milwaukee 2 Plays Total Risk 1.5 Units
Milwaukee (Gallardo) -1.5 Runs (+135) / San Francisco (Cain) 8:05 ET 1 Units
Milwaukee 5 San Francisco 1 Winner
Parlay: Milwaukee (ML) -155 & Over 7.5 Runs (Even) Risk 0.5/Unit to win 1.15 Units
Milwaukee 5 San Francisco 1 Lose
We're risking a total of 1.5 Units here with a chance to win 2.5 Units. A straight play ONLY on Milwaukee -155 for the same risk (1.5 Units) would yield a profit of less than a unit (0.98/Unit). Of course we're asking for more to happen (the Brewers need to win by 2 runs AND the game needs to go over the 7.5) but this all revolves around why we're on Milwaukee here in the first place so if we're right, we'll make 2.5x the money and even if we split our 2 plays we'll still come out ahead.
Over 9.5 Runs (-105) Chicago Cubs (Wells) / Chicago WS (Contreras) 4:05 ET 1.5 Units
Chicago Cubs 5 Chicago WS 4 Lose
Washington (Detwiler) +147 / Baltimore (Bergesen) 7:05 ET 1 Unit

Seattle - LAD 2 Plays Total Risk 1.5 Units
LA Dodgers (Kershaw) -1.5 Runs (+130) / Seattle (Vargas) 10:10 ET 1 Unit
LA Dodgers 8 Seattle 2 Winner
Parlay: LA Dodgers (ML) -165 & Over 8 Runs (-110) Risk 0.5/Unit to win 1.03 Units
LA Dodgers 8 Seattle 2 Winner
Similar situation as our Mil/SF plays. We stand to make 2.33 Units for our 1.5 Unit risk as opposed to 0.91/Unit we'd make on just a 1.5 unit straight play on LA -165 (over 2.5x the return) and a split will also give us a profit.
Thursday 6/25: -1.50 Units (Volume: 1.50 Units)
Over 8.5 Runs (-105) Cleveland (Lee) / Pittsburgh (Ohlendorf) 7:05 ET 1.5 Units
Wednesday 6/24: +1.66 Units (Volume: 5.50 Units)

Baltimore - Florida: 2 Plays Total Risk 1.5 Units
Florida (Nolasco) -145/ Baltimore (Berken) 7:10 ET 1 Unit
Florida 5 Baltimore 2 Winner
Parlay: Florida -145 & Under 9 Runs (Even) Risk 0.5/Unit to win 1.19 Units
Florida 5 Baltimore 2 Winner
Ricky Nolasco has finally put together 2 quality outings in a row after a rough start to the season (3-6 7.15 ERA). We knew it was just a matter of time before Nolasco returned to his last season form where he was 15-8 with a 3.52 ERA. This is a very cheap price to get Nolasco at and is only cheap because of his sub par season to date. As is usually the case, it takes the linemaker time to catch up to recently improved performance and there is big value with these situations.
We are risking a total of 1.5 units here with a possible return of 1.88 units. We're making this play based on our belief that the old Ricky Nolasco is back and will continue his dominance (6 hits, 1 walk, 14 K's and just 3 ER's last 2 starts: 11 innings) so if he does the game should certainly stay under. Even if we miss the total, we'll still show a slight profit (0.19/Unit) with a Marlins win, but it's the fact that we're GETTING an overall price (+125) on our 2 plays (averaged) that are dependant on each other... And the fact that we feel Nolasco should be laying close to -200 here that makes these plays for us.
Houston (Oswalt) -168/ Kansas City (Hochever) 8:05 ET 1.5 Units
Houston 3 Kansas City 4 Lose
Here's another "cheap chalk." Roy Oswalt has had a couple of tough outings lately. Houston is just 6-8 in Oswalt started games this season but that is sure to change... and soon. Had Oswalt been at the peak of his game lately, he'd be laying over -200 tonight. It's the ability to anticipate the natural swings that quality pitcher's go through that creates the value that we're getting here. If you wait for Oswalt to get a couple solid outings in, the value will be gone.
Oakland (Morrow) -1.5 Runs (+175) / San Francisco (Johnson) 10:10 ET 0.5/Unit
Oakland 3 San Francisco 6 Lose
Purely a value spot here. As we've said in the past, the once great Big Unit is getting up there in years and is no longer reliable. Sure, Randy Johnson has many more great performances left in him but he'll also get rocked a good amount more times. His ERA is 5.00 this season with a WHIP of 1.33 and he's got touched for at least 4 ER's in 6 of his 14 starts this season (including his last outing: 5.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 BB and 4 ER's). So we'll take a half unit shot here to make 0.88/Unit.
Tuesday 6/23: +0.81/Unit (Volume: 5.75 Units)
Over 9 Runs (-110) Boston (Penny) / Washington (Lannan) 7:05 ET 1 Unit
Boston 11 Washington 3 Winner
Over 9.5 Runs (-110) NY Yankees (Wang) / Atlanta (Hanson) 7:10 ET 1.25 Units
NY Yankees 0 Atlanta 4 Lose
We'll continue to expect Chien-Ming Wang to struggle until he shows us he's returning to his old form. Not enough value here to go against Wang as there was on the 17th when we were on the Nats +190 over Wang and the Yanks (3-2 Winner), but the total is sitting at a soft 9.5. The over is the play here as not only do we have Wang struggling but we also have Atlanta's newest pitching prospect Tommy Hanson. The Braves have high hopes for Hanson but he's far from proven. In is 3 starts this season he's 2-0 with an ERA of 4.08. Although he's coming off of a 6 inning 3 hit performance at Cincinnati, remember his fist start on 6/7 when he got tagged for 6 ER's including 3 homers. Also note that Hanson has allowed 10 walks in his 17.2 innings of work along with 19 hits for a 1.58 WHIP.
