Visit Touthouse.com for more expert sports picks from John Ryan

5* graded play on the Oakland A’s as they host the New York Yankees set to start at 10:)% PM ET. My proprietary sports handicapping database and simulator shows a high probability that the A’s will win this game. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 264-160 and has made a whopping 83.7 units per one unit wagered since 2005. Play on AL home teams that are a struggling hitting team batting <=.265 and now facing against a good starting pitcher sporting an ERA <=4.20 and with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.300 or better on the season. Here is a second system that has produced a 82-35 mark for 70.1% winners since 1997. Play against road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 and is an excellent power team averaging 1.5 or more home runs per game on the season after allowing three runs or less two straight games. Yankees are just 15-20 losing 17.0 units per one unit wagered against the money line with a hot bullpen whose ERA is under 2.00 the last 10 games over the last two seasons; 3-10 losing 12.6 units per one unit wagered against the money line after two or more consecutive wins this season. Oakland is coming off a 5-0 loss to the Yankees Sunday. Note that they are a resilient 21-6 making 16.4 units per one unit wagered against the money line in home games after scoring one run or less over the last three seasons. Oakland sends left-handed starter Brett Anderson to the hill and he is pitching at an elite level. Yankees have struggled big time against left-handed starters posting a .240 batting average with a .321 on-base-percentage, and just 43 extra base hits spanning 537 at-bats. Anderson has posted a 1.83 ERA and a 1.068 WHIP in his last three starts spanning 19 2/3 innings of work. Take Oakland.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Seattle Mariners
MLB Pick: Seattle Mariners -133 odds (May 31st 2011)
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert MLB picks from Steve Janus

The Seattle Mariners come into Tuesday having won 10 of their last 12 games, including a 4-3 win over the Orioles on Monday. A lot of the success for Seattle has to do with their starting pitching, and we feel they have the clear advantage on the mound tonight.

Seattle will start Erik Bedard, who has really came alive after a slow start to the season. Bedard has a 3.48 ERA on the season, but is 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his last three starts. Seattle is 4-1 in his last 5 starts overall.

The Orioles will send Jeremy Guthrie to the mound, who is just 2-6 on the season. While Guthrie has a solid 3.63 ERA on the year, he is just 1-3 with a 4.18 ERA on the road.

Seattle is 13-5 after having won 4 or 5 of their last 6 games this season, 18-8 after a game where the bullpen gave up no runs this season, 9-1 in their last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter, and 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record. BET SEATTLE!

MLB Picks: May 30th 2011

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays -112
I believe there is a ton of value on the Blue Jays at home against the Cleveland Indians. Toronto comes into the game on a three game winning streak, while the Indians have won just one of their last five. The Blue Jays offense has scored 26 runs over the three game stretch, and should have no trouble keeping it going. Cleveland’s starter Fausto Carmona is just 3-5 with a 4.73 ERA this season, but has really struggled of late and on the road. He is 1-3 in five starts on the road and is 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA over his last three starts. The Blue Jays counter with Jo-Jo Reyes, who hasn’t been great, but with the way the offense is rolling he should be able to come in and grab his first win of the season. The oddsmakers have the Blue Jays favored for a reason. Reyes will be making his first career start against the Indians, which should give him a slight advantage early. The Blue Jays are 19-11 against the money line in night games this season, 19-7 in their last 26 during game 1 of a series, 7-2 in their last 9 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game, and 7-1 in their last 8 vs. American League Central.BET TORONTO! -Steve Janus

Pick: Cincinnati Reds -122
The Reds are one of the best hitting teams against left handed starters this year. In 9 games against lefties they’ve averaged 6.6 runs per game and hit .296 as a team. They are also one of the strongest home teams in baseball, posting a 15-11 record so far this season. Today they are paired with the Milwaukee Brewers who, despite their recent success, are one of the worst road teams in the Majors at just 8-17. The Brewers score over a run less per game on the road and hit over 30 points worse per game away from Miller Park. The smart money is on the Reds at Great American Ballpark on Monday. -Jack Jones

Pick: St. Louis Cardinals -139
The Giants, which have lost 5 of their last 6, find themselves at a disadvantage this afternoon with Bumgarner on the hill against the red hot Red Birds – winners of 10 of their last 13. San Francisco is just 2-8 in Bumgarner’s starts this season, only providing him an average of 2.37 runs of support. He can’t expect much run support here with McClellan dealing for St. Louis. He’s 5-1 (8-1 on the money line) with an ERA of 3.12 in 9 starts this season. The Cards are a perfect 4-0 in his 4 home starts. The converted reliever has pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings of relief against the Giants in six appearances. The Giants have lost 4 of their last 5 in St. Louis and I expect their struggles to continue tonight. Get more expert MLB picks from our professional sports handicappers at Touthouse.com

MLB Predictions: May 29th 2011

Prediction: Florida Marlins +117
The Dodgers are 4-10 in their last 14 overall. The Marlins are 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 13-4 in their last 17 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Florida has also won 7 of its last 10 against the Dodgers. The Marlins are 9-0 in Nolasco’s last 9 road starts vs. NL teams scoring 4.3 or less runs/game on the season. Florida is also 10-2 vs. an NL starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.50 or better this season. Take the Marlins on the money line.

Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies +106
Good price on a great team here with the relatively unknown Vance Worley starting for the Phillies against the Mets. Worley has been strong in 3 starts for Philly. He’s 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Worley is opposed by Mets’ lefty starter Jon Niese. Niese has a 3.41 ERA at home this season, but he’s just 2-2 and his high WHIP of 1.45 leads me to believe that ERA has nowhere to go but up (more baserunners equal more runs in the long haul). He’s also managed just one win in 5 career starts against Philadelphia. The Phillies have dominated this series in recent years, holding a 27-17 edge over the last 3 seasons, including a 6-2 record versus the Mets this year. I also note that the Phillies have posted a 13-3 record against left handed starters so far this season. -Jack Jones (Touthouse.com)

Cincinnati Reds vs. Atlanta Braves
MLB Pick: Atlanta Braves -146 (May 28th 2011

Cincy may have won Friday, but that was just its 2nd victory in its last 10 games. Expect the Braves to bounce back strong in Game 2 behind Lowe. The Braves are 4-0 in Lowe’s last 4 home starts, 5-0 in his last 5 starts when working on 5 days’ rest and 8-1 in his last 9 starts versus the National League Central division. The Reds, meanwhile, are 1-4 in Arroyo’s last 5 starts, 1-4 in his last 5 starts versus the National League East and 1-5 in his last 6 road starts versus a team with a winning record. In addition, Atlanta is a tremendous 47-18 in its last 65 games as a home favorite of -125 to -175. The Braves are winning these contests by an average score of 5.1 to 3.0. Bet the Braves. Last night, the Brewers blew a 3-0 lead late against the Giants to cost a profitable day on the diamond. That’s the kind of week it’s been, but Jimmy will continue to make the type of plays that have made him one of the winningest handicappers in the industry.

Chicago Cubs vs. New York Mets
MLB Pick: New York Mets -106 odds – May 25th 2011
Visit Touthouse.com for more MLB picks from Tom Stryker

New York enters this contest off a brutal 11-1 beating at Chicago. Mets manager Terry Collins surely wasn’t happy about that performance and you can bet your last dollar that Collins will have his troops well prepared for this contest.

Grabbing the pill for the “Metcicles” will be young right-hander Dillon Gee. After a brief run in the bullpen, Gee has looked outstanding in his last three starts against Washington, Houston and Los Angeles allowing just six earned runs and 14 hits in 18.0 innings of work. That shakes down to a 1-0 record and a noteworthy 3.00 ERA! In his last performance against the Nationals, Dillon took a “no-no” through 5.2 frames and looked strong.

Getting the call for my beloved Cubbies will be young righty Casey Coleman. In his last trip to the hill at Florida, Coleman pitched a gem allowing no earned runs and four hits in 5.2 innings. Chicago smoked Florida 5-1 that day. Unfortunately, Casey’s efforts inside Wrigley Field haven’t been that great. With 13.0 home innings in the bank, No. 27 has been slammed for 14 earned runs and 19 hits. That’s bad enough for an 0-2 record and a miserable 9.69 ERA! Control has been an issue in the Windy City too. Coleman has walked 11 batters at home compared to just 10 strikeouts.

On a technical note, the Cubs have been one of the worst coming off a straight up win dropping 50 of their last 74 games. Also, at home against right-handers, Chicago has lost 25 of its last 35 overall.

The Cubbies have trouble stringing wins together and the Mets are hungry for a victory after last night’s embarrassment. Take New York with Gee. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.
