Toronto Blue Jays @ Detroit Tigers u9.5 (-125) MLB Odds - Thu August 14th ‘08 1:05p
Given the unexpected struggles of Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers this season, a strong case can be made that young Armando Galarraga has been the ace of the staff. Meanwhile, Jesse Litsch of the Toronto Blue Jays is very capable of recapturing his good early season form after a stint in the minors. Galarraga has been a godsend, going 10-4 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 125.1 innings, with the Tigers as a team going 14-6 in his starts. He has allowed three runs or less in eight of his last 10 starts and he allowed just four earned runs in each of the two non-quality efforts. Galarraga also tossed 5.1 scoreless innings while allowing just three hits in his only other start vs. Toronto. Now Litsch got off to a great start this season, but he went into a swoon posting a disgusting 10.66 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in his last three starts, prompting the Jays to send him to the minors. To his credit, Litsch did not complain outwardly at the demotion despite having had some success in the majors, and perhaps this was just the jolt he needed. Remember that he did pitch well in the majors last season with a 3.81 ERA in 20 starts, and he was off to a 7-1 start this year. Also, the added benefit of the Tigers having never faced him before could help him regain his form here. Finally, the Toronto Under is on a 12-4-1 run, and if we are right about Litsch being straightened out, that streak should improve this afternoon. MLB Free Pick: Blue Jays, Tigers Under 9.5 (-125)
 
Cincinnati Reds (110) MLB Odds - Thu August 14th ‘08 7:05p
Not too much separates Johnny Cueto of the Cincinnati Reds and Ian Snell of the Pittsburgh Pirates statistically this year, but we feel that young Cueto has more upside and the Pirates are generally a poor play as favorites anyway. Besides, Cueto has allowed three runs in three of his last four starts, and he may at worst duplicate that vs. a Pittsburgh offense here that is bating a horrific .218 vs. right-handed pitching the last 10 games. Despite his 5.01 ERA, Cueto has looked dominant at times this year, especially vs. the weaker clubs in the league, and the Pirates certainly fall into that category. On the other hand, Snell has been a huge disappointment after showing so much promise last season, and he really has shown no signs of coming out of his funk. Even worse, he has been awful against the Reds, allowing 23 earned runs and 35 hits in only 21.2 innings over his last four starts against them. Finally, both of these teams have basically called it a year and traded some key players lately, which automatically gives value to the underdog. MLB Free Pick: Reds +110

Tampa Bay Rays @ Oakland Athletics u7.5 (-115) MLB Odds - Wed August 13th ‘08 10:05p
The Oakland Athletics upset the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 here last night, and while they may not win again tonight, we do expect another low-scoring affair. Justin Duchscherer has quietly pitched as well as any pitcher in baseball this season in the obscurity that is Oakland, as he has a 2.51 ERA and a fantastic 0.99 WHIP in 132.2 innings. If he pitched for a team that could score any runs whatsoever, he would be a lot better than 10-7 right now. Duchscherer is also facing the Rays for the first time ever, which is to his advantage. Meanwhile, Andy Sonnanstine is 11-6 for Tampa Bay, albeit with a mediocre 4.40 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Still, the Oakland offense can make even an average pitcher look like a Cy Young candidate, as the Athletics are hitting a pathetic .211 as a team over their last 10 games while averaging an anemic 2.20 runs in those contests. Also, both of these bullpens are ranked in the top 10 in the majors in pen ERA, which should limit any late tack-on runs, and both clubs have been very Under-friendly in general. The Under is now 68-48-2 in all Tampa Bay games this season, and an even better 69-42-7 in all Oakland contests. MLB Free Pick: Rays, Athletics Under 7.5 (-115)

Milwaukee Brewers @ San Diego Padres u7.0 (-115) MLB Odds - Wed August 13th ‘08 10:05p
Yes, this is a low posted total between the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Diego Padres, but we feel it is warranted given the combination of these stating pitchers and this spacious ball park. C.C. Sabathia is a perfect seven for seven in Quality Starts since putting on the Brewers uniform, with a 1.58 ERA and an incredible 0.91 WHIP in 57 National League innings. He has actually already faced the Padres once this season while with the Cleveland Indians in interleague play, allowing three runs on only six hits with 10 strikeouts in eight innings. He should love pitching at San Diego for the first time, given that the Padres at batting a terrible .217 vs. southpaws at home this year. Now Josh Banks is an average pitcher in reality, but like most pitchers, this stadium makes him seem better than he is. Banks actually has a nice 2.30 ERA when pitching at home, and he is facing a Milwaukee lineup that has hit significantly lower vs. right-handed pitching on the road (.246) than vs. left-handers (.273) this year. The Under is also 8-1-2 in the last 11 Milwaukee games overall, and we see no reason why that will not continue given these circumstances. MLB Free Pick: Brewers, Padres Under 7 (-115)

Boston Red Sox -1.5 MLB Odds - Wed August 13th ‘08 7:05p
Last night the Boston Red Sox took out the visiting Texas Rangers in a entertaining 19-17 slugfest for their 5th straight win in this series here in Fenway Park this season. I expect the BoSox to make it 6 in a row after tonight as they tee off on a pitcher , Luis Mendoza (3-5, 7.50) that has performed like a thrower in the annual home run derby . The right hander is 1-2, along with a bloated 7.50 ERA in 4 starts since the all star break, and has been roughed up on a consistent basis in his road starts in 2008, as is evident by a 1-3 record and an ugly looking 8.46 ERA. Left-handed batters are hitting .352 against him, while right-handed hitters are batting .294. It must also be noted ,that opposition batting orders are smashing him for .381 average with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, the Red Sox starting hurler Jon Lester( 10-4, 3.23 ERA) continues to impress the pundits, with his performances, and despite of having his 11 game win streak stopped last timeout, he still pitched well, allowing just 6 hits in 7 innings for a tough luck 5-3 loss against the White Sox. The 2000 Gatorade State player of the year in Washington , has been very hard on lefty hitters this year allowing them a lowly .223 BA , which holds good implications for us backing him against a Rangers team with LH sluggers like Josh Hamilton and Chris Davis in the lineup. Final notes & Key Trends: The Red Sox are 14-2 L/16 when Lester starts at home , winning those games by an average of 2.8 RPG. Play on the Red Sox on the runline

Seattle Mariners @ Los Angeles Angels o9.5 MLB Odds - Tue August 12th ‘08 10:05p
The LA Angels explosive offense prepares to tee off on a Mariners pitcher Jarrod Washburn( 5-11, 4.76 ERA) that has not pitched well this season. The veteran southpaw is 0-2 along with a ugly 7.59 ERA in his most recent outings. Washburn also owns a 0-2 record against the Halos in 2008, and is sporting a hefty 6.53 ERA in those tilts. With the Angels hitting .316 in their L/17 home games, Washburn could easily end up as cannon fodder again. Meanwhile, the Angels will return fire with Jon Garland (10-7, 4.28 ERA).The right hander is not in good current form, recording a bloated 6.51 ERA in his last five trips to the hill. He is also 0-2 along with a hefty 6.32 ERA in his L/3 starts vs the Mariners . It must also be noted that the men of the Emerald City , have awoken from a season long hitting slump to average, .323 in the month of August, and once again ,look primed to take advantage of some below average starting pitching . Final notes & Key Trends: Over is 5-0 in Mariners last 5 games with the total set at 9-10.5. Play Over

Florida Marlins (-120) - Tue Aug 12 ‘08 7:10p
Chris Volstad has pitcher very well since being recalled by the Florida Marlins while Kyle Lohse has cooled off considerably since a hot start for the St. Louis Cardinals. Volstad has now allowed three runs or less in four of his five starts. Furthermore, his last outing was his best yet, as he tossed six scoreless innings while allowing just three hits at Philadelphia. He should be tough on a St. Louis lineup that has never faced him before. Now Lohse is still 13-4 with a 3.80 ERA on the season, but he has not posted a Quality Start while going 1-2 with a 7.27 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in his last three starts. Also, he has not been nearly as effective on the road despite his 6-2 road mark, as he has a 5.16 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 10 starts away from home. Finally, the Marlins did lose the series opener here last night, but they have lost back-to-back games just once in the last month, which is one reason they are still in the National League East race. MLB Free Pick: Marlins -120

Los Angeles Dodgers (110) - Tue Aug 12 ‘08 10:10p
Cole Hamels may be the ace of the Philadelphia Phillies staff, but he has been outpitched badly by young Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers lately. Kershaw was called up with high expectations in May, and he is now fulfilling all of that promise, allowing a grand total of one run and 11 hits in 19 innings over his last three starts. He is also catching the Phillies at the perfect time, as they are batting a woeful .218 over the last 10 games, and the fact that Philadelphia has never seen Kershaw also helps his cause. Meanwhile, Hamels has a bloated 5.62 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in his last three starts. It does not help matter that the Dodgers have improved offensively with the acquisition of Manny Ramirez either, especially vs. left-handed pitching. The Dodgers are hitting .291 as a team the last 10 games averaging 4.80 runs per game, while the Phillies are only averaging 3.30 runs in that same span. We feel that the wrong team is favored in this spot, as Hamels is favored just on reputation alone. MLB Free Pick: Dodgers +110

Detroit Tigers (-150) MLB Odds - Monday August 11th ‘08 7:05p
The Detroit Tigers(58-59) started their 2008 campaign, as one of the publics favorite choices for an American League championship. After starting their season with 7 straight losses, the Tigers have never completely rebounded and remain 1 game under .500 . Motown s streaky play has seen them win 3 of their L/4 after a 6 game slide, heading into a three game series against a Toronto Blue Jays(59-59) squad that is off getting swept by the Cleveland Indians this past weekend. With that said, I think the Tigers have the edge , and getting the much needed victory , as they send their most talented hurler , Justin Verlander (8-12, 4.56 ERA) to the hill. I know the southpaws numbers do not instill confidence for his betting backers , but this kid can be dominating when he gets in a groove, as was the case in his last outing when he mowed down 12 batters in a row and 21 of 24 overall, despite of suffering a loss. This is going to be his first ever start against the Jays, which will give him an edge over an offense that scored only 4 runs in their last 27 innings of play. Meanwhile, his Toronto pitching opponent, Shaun Marcum( 6-5, 3.44 ERA) is making his 5th start ,since coming off the DL, with an elbow strain. In my opinion he looked a lot stronger and had more zip on his pitches before the layoff. I know he pitched well last time out, in a 5-1 win over the light hitting As, but against Detroit Tigers team that is hitting .303 at home this season while averaging 5.7 RPG , I think a much different ending will unfold.

Final notes & Key Trends: Tigers are 7-1 in Verlanders last 8 starts vs. American League East..Detroit has won 4 of 5 Verlanders L/5 home starts . Detroit has faired well at home against top tier bullpens , with a 3.00 ERA or better winning 10 of 11 games. Play on the Detroit Tigers

Philadelphia Phillies (120) - Mon August 11th ‘08 10:10p
The Los Angeles Dodgers just lost a series to the lowly San Francisco Giants mainly due to their porous defense, while the Philadelphia Phillies have been at their best as underdogs lately. As much as the trade for Manny Ramirez helped the Dodgers offensively, his presence in the outfield actually makes what was already a shaky defense worse, and LA simply kicked away the last two losses to the Giants. Also, their starter Derek Lowe was terrible in his last start in St. Louis, allowing eight earned runs and 13 hits in just 3.1 innings. Now we have never been fans of Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick, but he has now allowed two runs or less in three straight starts while going a minimum of six innings in all of them, and he has a great bullpen behind him. In fact, the Phillies rank third in the majors with a 3.15 bullpen ERA, so if Lowe struggles again and the Phillies get a quick lead, the Dodgers will have a tough time coming back. Finally, the Phillies are on a lucrative 11-4 run as underdogs. MLB Free Pick: Phillies +120

Washington Nationals (160) MLB Odds - Sun August 10th ‘08 2:05p
The underdog Washington Nationals should be relieved to not have to face C.C. Sabathia or Ben Sheets after those two studs shut them out the past two days, so look for an improved offensive performance vs. the Milwaukee Brewers today. The Nationals were on a nice 6-1 run coming into this series, averaging 6.00 runs per game during that stretch, and that production could return today vs. the slumping Manny Parra. Parra had been a stud for most of the year, but he has suddenly turned in back-to-back poor efforts, allowing a total of 11 earned runs over 11.1 innings in those last two starts. He was also roughed up the first time he faced the Nats this season, allowing six earned runs while lasting just 4.1 frames. John Lannan continues to defy the experts, as he somehow has a 3.55 ERA in 22 starts despite just ordinary stuff. This has made Lannan a nice play as an underdog this year, and today is no exception. Also, he has been even better on the road where he is 4-5 but with an amazing 2.57 ERA in 13 road appearances. If the Brewers resume their hitting with this dropdown in class of the opposing starter, Lannan should even up his road mark at a great price here. MLB Free Pick: Nationals +160 - Courtesy of LT Profits
 
Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Francisco Giants u7.0 (-125) MLB Odds - Sun August 10th ‘08 4:05p
Both Chad Billingsley of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants are in peak form right now, so look for the bats for both teams to be kept quiet today. Billingsley has allowed three runs or less in five straight starts, including allowing a total of three runs in 21.2 innings over his last three efforts. This lowers his ERA for the entire season to 3.01, and Billingsley is among the National League leaders in strikeouts with 151 in just 143.2 innings. In his only other start against the Giants this year, he tossed a Complete Game five-hit shutout. Similarly, Caim has also allowed three runs or less in five straight starts, and he has allowed a grand total of two earned runs over 22.2 innings in his last three outings. Cain now has a 3.60 ERA for the season and he has allowed two runs or less in four of his last five career starts vs. the Dodgers. The last time he faced them, he allowed just one earned run in seven innings of a tough-luck 2-0 loss. Do not be surprised if this score today closely resembles that last effort. MLB Free Pick: Dodgers, Giants Under 7 (-125) - Courtesy of LT Profits

NFL Pre-Season Football Betting Picks compliments of Alex Smart, A Professional Football Handicapper featured on Touthouse.com. Click Here for Current MLB Pre-Season Odds

Dallas Cowboys vs. San Diego Chargers 10:00 ET-Saturday August 9th/2008
The National Football League continues its first week of the preseason this weekend allowing NFL bettors the opportunity to sink their teeth into some action other than baseball. On Saturday night, two of the better franchises in the league face off when the Dallas Cowboys travel to Qualcomm Stadium to take on the San Diego Chargers. Both teams have been stellar in recent years in the preseason, as Dallas is 5-2-1 SU and 5-3 ATS the past two seasons, while San Diego has gone 5-3 SU and ATS during that same stretch.

2007 ended on a sour note for the visiting Cowboys, as they crashed out of the playoffs with a disappointing 21-17 loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Tony Romo is back for his third season as the head Cowpoke. It’s put up or shut up time for Romo in ’08, as wins in the regular season and gaudy numbers are all fine and dandy, but another playoff blunder will tarnish his career. Don’t expect to see much of Romo in this game, though. Instead, the focus will be on Brad Johnson and Richard Bartel to keep the offense moving. Expect rookie running backs Tashard Choice and Felix Jones to carry a heavy load this preseason. Keep an eye on the Cowboys starting secondary on Saturday as Terence Newman, Anthony Henry, Adam Jones, and 1st round draft pick Mike Jenkins could be a very dangerous unit.

The Chargers pulled off a minor miracle in the playoffs, marching into Indianapolis and knocking out the Colts by the count of 28-24. Their magical playoff run ended when they ran into the unbeaten Patriots, but HC Norv Turner has justified the firing of old HC Marty Schottenheimer with his playoff push last year. With 17 returning starters from 2007, expect Turner to get a look at some of his young backups in San Diego’s four exhibitions. Look for former LSU RB Jacob Hester to have a big impact on these preseason games as he fights to earn a spot in a backfield that already includes LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles.

Betting trends in preseason games are always a little awkward, but if used properly, they can earn football bettors some nice coin to go into the regular season with. Take a look at San Diego in this game, as they are 16-12 ATS as home favorites since 1993, while the Cowboys are just 6-17 SU and 8-14 ATS on the road in that same stretch. More recently, the Bolts are 5-1 SU in preseason games they’re favored in. Last season, San Diego went 1-1 ATS and SU in their preseason home games, while the Cowboys were outscored 51-30 in a pair of defeats away from home.

Oddsmakers have installed the hosts as three-point home favorites in this preseason showdown, and the ‘total’ in this game now sits at a relatively high 35.5. These two teams both lit up the scoreboard in the ’07 exhibition season, as the average Chargers game reached 44 points, while the average Cowboys game accumulated 41.3 PPG.

Detroit Tigers (-150) MLB Odds - Friday Aug 8th ‘08 7:05p
The Oakland As enter into this game against their hosts Detroit in a big time funk having lost 10 straight games. They are struggling so badly, that I doubt they can take advantage of the aging hurler Kenny Rogers (8-8, 4.98 ERA). The veteran of 19 years , has always pitched well against the As and in 36 starts in this series is 21-7, along with a 4.28 ERA, including a current 7-0 run in his L/9 starts again them. I expect more success is on the agenda for the southpaw against a Oakland team that has has lost seven consecutive series , and 17 of their L/19 tilts since the All-Star break.

Meanwhile, Dallas Braden (2-2, 5.10) fires back for the A’s. Since being called up from the minors in July, Braden is 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA 5 outings including 3 starts. The lefty thrower has been bombed by the Tigers in the past , recording a 0-1 mark along with a 12.34 ERA in three starts . I expect the men from Motown to hammer him again in a contest that will be a one sided affair favoring the host team.

Final notes & Key Trends: Rogers team is 32-12 L/44 when he starts in night games. - Play on Detroit

Atlanta Braves (-150) MLB Odds - Thu Aug 7th ‘08 9:40p
Arizona’s starting pitcher tonight against a depleted Atlanta Braves lineup, Yusmeiro Petit is moving steadily higher in my pitcher power rankings . The rookie right hander has compiled a 2.81 ERA, allowing opposition batting orders to a .182 batting average in his first 16 innings as a mlb starter. Im betting the Venezuelan thrower , remains in good form, and helps his team bounce back after ending up on the wrong side of a 2-0 shutout against the Pirates last night. Meanwhile, the Braves will send the inconsistent Kyle Morton (2-5, 6.56 ERA) out to face, a Arizona team, that despite of their lackluster performance at the plate on Wednesday, have hit at a .270 clip at home in Chase Field , while producing 5.1 RPG. I expect the DBacks will tee off on a Braves hurler that has allowed 5 or more ERs in 3 of his L/5 trips to the hill. Final notes & Key Trends: Braves are 0-5 in Mortons last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Arizona has won 10 of the L/14 meetings in this series. Play on Arizona

Los Angeles Dodgers (120) MLB Odds - Thu Aug 7th ‘08 2:15p
The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost the first two games of this series vs. the St. Louis Cardinals despite being favored both nights, but we look for them to turn things around and prevail as underdogs in the series finale. Young Clayton Kershaw has looked great in his last two outings, tossing 12 scoreless innings while allowing just eight hits. Remember also that he made his major league debut vs. these Cardinals in Los Angeles back in May, and he posted a Quality Start while allowing two runs on five hits in six innings. Cards starter Kyle Lohse appears to be coming back to earth after an abnormally great start. He has a 6.38 ERA in his last three starts, and he has also struggled in afternoon games all year, posting a 5.18 ERA in 11 starts under the sunshine. Finally, as expected, the Dodgers have perked up offensively since the acquisition of Manny Ramirez, averaging 5.75 runs in the last four games. That should be more than enough for the upset here, given the fine form Kershaw is in. MLB Free Pick: Dodgers +120
 
Cincinnati Reds (120) MLB Odds - Thu Aug 7th ‘08 7:10p
Roy Oswalt of the Houston Astros is having a terrible season by his standards, so the fact that he is 20-1 lifetime vs. the Cincinnati Reds actually enhances out value on the Reds here. Oswalt is just 8-8 with a 4.74 ERA for the season, and he has allowed eight earned runs over 11 innings in two starts since coming off of the Disabled List. His first start back was vs. these Reds, and although he got credit for the win (again), he did not pitch particularly well, allowing four earned runs and nine baserunners in five innings. Even more discouraging is the fact that he did not improve much in his next start. Now Josh Fogg of the Reds has been maligned quite a bit, but he has actually allowed three runs or less in four of his last five starts. He also has the support of a Cincinnati bullpen that now ranks seventh in the majors with a collective 3.54 ERA. The bottom line here is that Oswalt is nowhere near the pitcher that he was when he accumulated his phenomenal record vs. Cincinnati, so the Reds are in a nice position to get some revenge ob him in this spot. MLB Free Pick: Reds +120

Seattle Seahawks +3.0 (-110) NFL Pre-Season Odds - Friday Aug 8 ‘08 8:00p
The Seattle Seahawks fits nicely into what we like to call a GAP system on Friday night, and they get the call as road underdogs when they visit the Minnesota Vikings. The first step in this system to group each team into either the Good, Average or Poor category (ergo, GAP) based solely on their win totals of last season. Well, the Seahawks grade out as Good while the Vikings grade out as Average, This is significant because higher classed road underdogs are 77-51, 60.2 percent against the spread the last seven preseasons. Looking at the specific teams, the Seahawks are a nice 6-2 straight up and ATS on the road during the preseason over the last four years. They also like to get off on the right foot in these exhibition games, going 4-1 both SU and ATS in the last five openers. Conversely, the Vikings have lost their last two August openers and since they are a popular pick to win the NFC Central, they will in all likelihood be more concerned with staying healthy than posting wins during this preseason. Finally, the Vikings have been distracted lately by all of the talk concerning the acquisition of Brett Favre, which may result in their corps of young quarterbacks pressing a bit in an attempt to impress. NFL Pre-Season Free Pick: Seahawks +3 (-110)
 
San Francisco 49ers +3.0 (-110) NFL Pre-Season Odds - Friday Aug 8 ‘08 10:00p
The San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders have had a couple of joint practices this summer, so they are both somewhat familiar with what to expect this week, which automatically gives value to the underdog. Besides the 49ers are a very young team that may seemingly get as many wins this preseason as they do the entire regular season, so they probably have the greater motivation to win early between these two teams. Then again, that would be nothing new considering that the Niners are 3-2 straight up and 3-1-1 against the spread vs. their Bay Area rivals the last five years in preseason. Now the Raiders are expected to improve this season, thanks to their first round draft pick Darren McFadden, but you just know that they will handle Run DMC with kid gloves during the exhibition season, not wanting to risk a serious injury. Thus, we will see the same last place team as last year for the most part, at least in the early weeks. Look for the underdog Niners to pull a confidence-building upset here. NFL Pre-Season Free Pick: 49ers +3 (-110)
