Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -115 (Info Plays)
We’ll Play On - Home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 (LA DODGERS) - with a starting pitcher who strikes out 5 or more batters per start, with a hot starting pitcher- ERA less than 2.50 over his last 5 starts. This is a 72-29 ML System hitting 71.3% over the last 5 seasons. This system is 12-4 this season. Vicente Padilla. He is 3-1 with a 2.20 ERA and 0.767 WHIP in 4 home starts this season, and 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA and 0.726 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Padilla is also 8-3 with a 3.73 ERA in 12 lifetime starts vs. the Mets. Bet Los Angeles at home.

Pick: Mets vs. Dodgers Under 7 (Tom Freese)
Dodgers starter Vincente Padilla has allowed 3 runs total in his last 4 starts. Los Angeles is 4-1 UNDER their last 5 home games and they are 4-1-1 UNDER their last 6 games overall. The Dodgers are 4-1-1 UNDER vs. a team vs. a team with a winning record and they are 4-0 UNDER at home vs. the Mets. New York starter Johan Santana has allowed 2 runs total in his last 4 starts. New York is 20-4-2 UNDER their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning record. The Mets are 10-2-1 UNDER their last 13 games overall and they are 15-5-1 UNDER off a loss. The Mets are 9-1-1 UNDER in the last 11 starts made by Santana as a road underdog. PLAY ON ‘UNDER’ (Padilla vs. Santana)

Pick: Minnesota Twins -133 (Craig Trapp)
Finally looks as if MIN is snapping out of month plus tail spin. Won’t take much from them today to beat what is the worst team in the majors. Finally they removed Blackburn from rotation and replace him with most consistent bullpen pitcher Duensing. He went 5-1 with a 2.73 ERA in nine starts as a rookie in 2009. Even better he has only allowed 1 run in last 14 relief innings. He faces hard luck Guthrie today who has 3-10 with a 4.58 on the season. Run support has been a big problem for him and don’t look for him to get it today. MIN bats have heated up and BALT are still so inconsistent. Great value on the much better Twins.

Pick: San Francisco Giants -109 (Jimmy Boyd)
With Thursday’s 3-0 win over the D-backs, the Giants are now 12-3 in their last 15 games overall. That win also marked their 4th in a row against Arizona and their 6th straight as a favorite. The Giants have the edge on the hill with Sanchez tonight. He is 4-0 on the money line in his last 4 starts against the D-backs, and the Giants are 5-0 in his last 5 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. Jackson has really struggled at home this season (5.62 ERA) and the Diamondbacks are just 1-7 in his last 8 starts vs. the National League West. It is also worth noting that the Diamondbacks are only 13-38 in their last 51 games as an underdog and 2-8 in their last 10 games against a lefty starter. Take the Giants.

Pick: Atlanta Braves -101 (Steve Janus)
I am taking the Braves over the Marlins on Friday, as the Braves send Derek Lowe to the mound, where he has been pretty good of late with a 3.62 ERA. The Braves are 53-37 against the money line vs. teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits per game this season, while Lowe is a perfect 8-0 against the money line in road games vs. teams whose hitters strike out 7 or more times/game in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Bet the Braves!
