Wednesday's Play--It's A Day Game !!

first the re-cap. Hit with my under in the Astros/D'backs last night. Can't get any more under than a 1-0 final score. Now 2-0 for the week. For the season I am 14-10, with a $100 bettor +$440. Found one I like for this afternoon.

For Wednesday, I like the over 10 runs in the Tigers/Twins. Here's why:

First of all, despite what some might think, I don't just indiscriminately play the over in a game where a pitcher has a high ERA. There is more to it than that (as you will see). The Tigers start Rick Porcello. He has been getting shelled this year. He is 2-2 with an 8.03 ERA, a 1.91 WHIP and a .380 BAA. On the road he is 0-2 with a 12.96 ERA, a .462 BAA and a 2.716 WHIP. Over his last 3 starts, he went 13.2 innings, allowing 26 hits and 4 walks, for an ERA of 11.77. For his career against the Twins (last year), he is 1-2 with a 2.79 ERA but a .278 BAA.

Meanwhile, the Twins start Kevin Slowey. He is 3-2 with a 3.77 ERA, but with a 1.50 WHIP and a .291 BAA. Over his last 2 starts, he has allowed 17 hits and 3 walks in 10.1 innings. Against the Tigers last year his ERA was 7.00 and his BAA was .351. From 2007-2009 (career numbers) he was 3-0 against the Tigers, but with a 6.20 ERA, a .340 BAA and a 1.776 WHIP.

But there is more to this play than just the pitchers' numbers. Over the past 7 days, the Twins are batting an AL-best .318. The Tigers are 3rd in the AL, with a .302 average. At home the Twins bat a solid .282, while on the road the Tigers bat an AL-best .279. During day games, the Twins bat .290 while the Tigers bat .276. Last but not least, against righty pitchers, the Tigers bat an AL-best .291, while the Twins bat .275 (which is 2nd in the AL).

Skyrockets in flight...afternoon delight. This one soars over the total.

Wednesday's play is over 10 in the Tigers/Twins.

thanks GT.

FWIW--I looked hard at the Indians this afternoon, and I definitely like the Angels at +150 tonight, as they WILL smack Lackey around hard in his first outing against his old team.

growing up in NY in the 1970's, I can remember listening to WABC (AM radio) when they played songs like that.

No more 8 tracks for me (half the guys here must be saying 'what the f*ck is an 8-track ?"), although I must have a thousand cassettes buried away in a closet. They don't even make cars with cassette decks anymore !!

Did you see that Ron Lundy recently died ? "Hello love, this is Ron Lundy". Sad stuff when the people you grew up to, start passing on.

As for the FM guys, in addition to the Professor, don't forget guys like Tony Pigg, Pat St. John and so many others.
