Pick: Colorado Rockies vs. Florida Marlins Under 9.5 (Wunderdog)
This game poses some value based on the following. The Colorado Rockies are 5th in the league in run production at five runs a game vs righthand pitching. That number drops considerably to 4.4 runs a game vs leftahnd pitching and even further as they score just 3.7 runs a game in all road games this season. The Marlins score 4.6 runs a game vs righthanders but just 4.1 against lefthanders on the season. We have a situation that shows both teams at their minimal run production, with a total posted that is a full run too high. Just six of Francis’ last 26 road starts vs a team with a losing record have topped the total. Going into Monday’s game, the last six Marlin games have gone UNDER, producing an average of just four runs a game. I like the UNDER in this one

Pick: Chicago White Sox -123 (Jimmy Boyd)
Seattle had high hopes entering this season, but those hopes have already been crushed just over the halfway mark. The M’s have lost 13 of their last 16 games and 8 of their last 9 at home. Seattle brings Fister to the hill tonight, and while he has a low home ERA, I can’t overlook the fact that the M’s have lost 5 of his last 6 home starts and 7 of his last 8 starts against the AL Central. The Mariners have especially struggled against lefty starters, so facing Danks will be no treat. The Mariners are 0-6 in their last 6 home games versus a left-handed starter and 6-18 in their last 24 games overall versus a left-handed starter. It is also worth noting that the White Sox are 4-0 in Danks’ last 4 starts as a road favorite. The White Sox are now 22-6 in their last 28 games versus a right-handed starter, and I’ll side with them tonight.

Pick: New York Mets -120 (Rocky Atkinson)
NY Mets are 49-44 overall this year while Arizona comes in with a 35-58 overall record on the season. Arizona is 77-107 the past 3 years and 10-24 this year after a win. Arizona has lost 4 of their last 5 games overall. Arizona bullpen has a 6.71 ERA overall this year and a 5.91 ERA at home this season. RA Dickey is 6-3 with a 2.62 ERA overall this year, 3-2 with a 3.00 ERA on the road and has a 1.74 ERA his last 3 starts. We’ll recommend a small play on the NY Mets tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 -126 (Jeff Alexander)
The Rays cruised to an 8-1 win over Baltimore yesterday, and I like their chances again today with Garza on the bump. The Rays have won Garza’s last 4 starts, and 3 of those wins have come by 2 or more runs. Plus, Garza has had his way with the O’s throughout his career. He is 8-1 lifetime when starting against Baltimore with an ERA of 2.48 and a WHIP of 1.133. 7 of those wins came by at least 2 runs. The Rays have won all 4 meetings in Baltimore this season by an average score of 8-2. We’ll take the Rays on the run line tonight.

Pick: San Francisco Giants +112 (Steve Janus)
I am taking Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants tonight on the road against the Dodgers. The Giant are 4-1 since the All-Star break, and send their ace to the mound tonight against the Dodger’s Clayton Kershaw, who is a mediocre 16-21 against the money line in night games over the last 2 seasons. Where the Giants are 90-75 against the money line in night games over the last 2 seasons.
