Milwaukee Brewers @ Atlanta Braves u8.5 (-120) - Monday June 23 ‘08 7:10p - Courtesy of LT Profits
Now it is no secret that Ben Sheets of the Milwaukee Brewers is one of the best pitchers in baseball, but Jo-Jo Reyes of the Atlanta Braves is also in great current form, so runs should be hard to come by tonight. Reyes allowed just one run and five hits vs. a very potent Texas Rangers lineup in his last start, marking the fourth Quality Start in his last five starts and the third time in that span that he allowed two runs or less. Reyes also tossed a gem the first time he faced Milwaukee this season, allowing only one run and two hits in seven innings. If Reyes does need some help, the Atlanta bullpen received a boost recently with the return of closer Mike Gonzalez. Even without Gonzalez until last week, the Braves pen is ties for ninth in the Major Leagues with a 3.52 ERA. Sheets has been his usual dominant self this season, currently sitting at 8-1 with a 2.74 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. He has held opponents to just a .270 On Base Percentage so far, and he has already proven that he can handle the Braves lineup, as he has four Quality Starts in his last five appearances against them. Finally, the Under is 17-8 in the last 25 head-to-head meetings between these clubs in Atlanta, and we look for that pattern to continue here.

The Milwaukee Brewers enter into this tilt against the Atlanta Braves in top form having won 6 of their L7 and 21 of their L31 games overall , and are 7 games above .500 on the season. With Ben Sheets on the hill for the brew crew tonight, they once again look like a good bet. The veteran right hander is (8-1, 2.74 ERA) on the season ,and is 5-0 on the road this year, along with a stingy 2.62 ERA, and 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA in his L6 starts overall. Sheets is also 8-3 with a 4.80 ERA in his 11 career starts against the Braves, and has recorded a very stable 3.48 ERA during a five-start win streak in this series. Lets back him to help his team notch another victory in Turner Field this Monday night. Play on the Brewers - Baseball Picks

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Boston Red Sox u8.5 (-115) - Monday June 23 ‘08 7:05p - Courtesy of LT Profits
Runs should be scarce when Josh Beckett and the Boston Red Sox host Danny Haren and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Beckett has lowered his ERA to 3.87 after a bit of a rough sport this season, and he has an excellent 1.13 WHIP in 86 innings with 89 strikeouts. He now has four Quality Starts in his last five outings including hurling seven scoreless innings while allowing just six hits vs. the Cincinnati Reds last week. He also pitched very well in his last start vs. Arizona last year, allowing two earned runs and five hits in eight innings. Haren has also done well in his first year with the Diamondbacks, as he actually has a lower ERA (3.26) and WHIP (1.00) than Beckett does year-to-date while pitching more innings (96.2). While Haren is not as much of a strikeout pitcher, his good 0.96 groundball/flyball ratio will serve him well in Fenway Park. He has also allowed two earned runs or less in four of his five career starts vs. the Red Sox. It also helps each pitcher that Arizona is batting a pathetic .208 vs. right-handers on the road and Boston has seen its team batting average drop since David Ortiz went out (.266 last 10 games), so look for a safe Under tonight.
