Raymond posted this in his thread last Saturday. Hope you don't mind that I re-posted it here, Ray. It's got some good information.
BEGINNING MONDAY JUNE 18
San Francisco at Milwaukee (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
We?ve backed away from the Brewers over the past several weeks after using them a lot in April. But they?ve got a solid record against lefthanders, particularly here at Miller Park (10-3, +$610), and they might be available at a decent price when the visiting Giants start one of their southpaws. PREFERRED: Brewers vs. lefthanders.
Boston at Atlanta (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
AS we noted earlier, the Red Sox are a tremendous value against the NL, and they did take 2 out of 3 from this team at Fenway Park last month. Boston is 17-6 (+$1290) on the road vs. righthanders, while the Braves are overall losers here at Turner Field (-$440). In addition, the Atlanta starting rotation has not looked very sharp in recent days (6.07 ERA last 11). PREFERRED: Red Sox in all games.
Detroit at Washington (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
The Nationals have posted a fat profit against lefthanders this year (+$820 overall, with 5.3 runs per game at night) and the Detroit southpaws have been struggling. Nate Robertson has landed on the DL, but Mike Maroth should be available, and despite leading his team to wins in 8 of his 11 starts, his ERA is far from impressive (5.29). PREFERRED: Nationals vs. Maroth.
Philadelphia at Cleveland (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
Impossible to go against the Indians here at Jacobs Field (21-7, +$1105 so far in 2007), but the Phillies are tough on righthanders (+$745 with 5.6 runs per game) so caution is advised. Jeremy Sowers has been sent down, C.C. Sabathia is not expected to start, and we?re not interested in Cliff Lee (6.31 ERA). PREFERRED: None.
Minnesota at N.Y. Mets (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
The Twins don?t inspire much confidence, so even though the Mets have had problems here at Shea Stadium we?re not interested. NY has solid run production vs. lefthanders (5.4 per game) and they might be available at a decent price when hard luck ace Johan Santana (-$835) is on the hill. PREFERRED: Mets vs. J. Santana.
Florida at Chicago W. Sox (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
The White Sox can?t score runs and they?ve been a losing proposition here at U.S. Cellular this season
(-$505). The Marlins have been an excellent value on in road night games (14-9, +$900) and the first two contests in this series are scheduled to take place in the evening. PREFERRED: Marlins in night games.
Kansas City at St. Louis (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
The Royals are a very good proposition in road games against righthanders (+$590) and they?ll catch some decent underdog prices here at Busch Stadium. Gil Meche continues to put together quality starts (3.17 ERA in 14 tries) and the Cardinals are bad bet in home games (only 14-16, -$690 so far). PREFERRED: Meche.
Tampa Bay at Arizona (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
The D?Backs are big moneymakers against righthanders this year (29-18, +$1025) but they?ve not fared well vs. lefties here at Chase Field (-$385 so far). The Devil Rays, on the other hand, have lost money vs. righties (-$300) but they are in the black vs. southpaws (+$350 with 5.1 runs per game). PREFERRED: Diamondbacks when righty meets righty/Devil Rays when lefty meets lefty.
Cincinnati at Oakland (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
If the Reds could win a ballgame once in a while (25-39, -$1630 in 2007) we?d be interested in them as underdogs in this series. Prices will be very high, and the Reds? all-righty rotation might fare well vs. an A?s team that has struggled vs. righties at home (-$460 with only 2.6 runs per game). But we?ll pass for now. PREFERRED: None.
Houston at L.A. Angels (3) 18th, 19th, 20th
The Astros have been a major disappointment this year (-$1345) and they?ll be hard pressed to make much headway against the red-hot Angels, who currently hold a 19-5 (+$1110) record vs. righthanders in this ballpark. None of the starters in the Houston rotation give us much cause for concern. PREFERRED: Angels vs. righthanders.
BEGINNING TUESDAY JUNE 19
L.A. Dodgers at Toronto (3) 19th, 20th, 21st
These teams battled it out in LA last week, with Toronto taking 2 out of 3 (+$140). The Blue Jays have excellent numbers against lefthanders here at Rogers Centre (9-2, +$735) but they are awful in home games vs. righthanders (9-14, -$805). Similarly, the Dodgers are 8-2 (+$600) on the road against lefties, but only 9-14 (-$505) on the road against righties. We?ll play this series accordingly. PREFERRED: Righthanders vs. lefthanders.
Chicago Cubs at Texas (3) 19th, 20th, 21st
The Cubs have performed very well against righthanders away from the confines of Wrigley Field (13-10, +$410) and get a chance to close the gap in the NL Central by fattening up on the hapless Rangers, a team with a 5.47 team ERA, and money losses of -$1365 already this year. PREFERRED: Cubs vs. righthanders.
N.Y. Yankees at Colorado (3) 19th, 20th, 21st
The Yankees are beginning to click on all cylinders (8-2, +$640 with 7.4 runs per game last 10 days) and it?s hard to bet against a team like this when they are on a roll. They?ll no doubt be favored throughout, but might be worth taking a shot when Andy Pettitte (3.18 ERA in 13 starts) takes his turn. The home town Rockies are only 6-11 (-$590) vs. lefthanders this season, averaging a measly 3.7 runs per game in those contests. PREFERRED: Pettitte.
Baltimore at San Diego (3) 19th, 20th, 21st
The Orioles are in the red outside of Camden Yards (-$545) and they?ll have a tough time at Petco Park taking on the premier pitching staff in MLB (SD 3.00 ERA). The Padres are toughest against lefthanders in this ballpark (6-1, +$485) and the Baltimore southpaws are adequate at best. PREFERRED: Padres vs. lefthanders.
Pittsburgh at Seattle (3) 19th, 20th, 21st
The Mariners have emerged as bona fide playoff contenders (8-2, +$590 last 10 days) and that 12-3 (+$1205) record vs. lefthanders means they?ll be a solid proposition vs. a mediocre NL club with three southpaws in the starting rotation. We?ll lay the high prices in this one. PREFERRED: Mariners vs. lefthanders.
