MLB Philadelphia vs. Florida 
Take Philadelphia Phillies
 
1 Unit on Philadelphia -129 (Listing Durbin and Kim) Florida is only 1-9 in their last 10 home games. The Phillies are on a mission after completing a 4-game sweep of their Rival New York Mets. The Phillies took game 1 of this series 9-2 over Florida. We look for the bats to stay hot and Chase Utley to continue to add a boost to this already dangerous offense. Phillies’ hitters are batting .313 in their last 10 games. Florida is down at .245 during the same span. Byung-Hyun Kim has a 10.12 ERA in his last 3 starts, giving up 16 hits in only 8 innings. J.D. Durbin is averaging 8.9 runs of support in his 7 starts for Philadelphia. Take the Phillies. 

MLB Detroit vs. Oakland 
Take Detroit Tigers
 
1 Unit on Detroit +100 (Listing Verlander Only) Justin Verlander is the clear Ace of this Detroit Staff with his 14-5 record and 3.77 ERA on the season. If there’s one guy that can get the Tigers our of the funk they are in, it is definitely Verlander. The Tigers are 8-3 in Verlander’s last 11 road starts. Oakland is hitting .236 at home this season while Detroit is putting up a .288 average on the road. The Tigers are 21-5 in Verlander’s last 26 starts vs. a team with a losing record. Dan Haren is only 2-6 in his last 8 starts against the AL Central Division. Haren doesn’t get the run support that accompanies Verlander. Verlander is averaging 6.4 runs of support this season, including 10.7 runs of support in his last 3 starts. Take Detroit at even money. 

MLB Colorado vs. Arizona 
Take Colorado Rockies
 
1 Unit on Colorado -109 (Listing Dessens and Eveland) The Rockies have won 3 straight over the Diamondbacks. Arizona is hitting a horrible .209 in their last 10 games overall. It is tough to win ball games doing this. The Rockies are 5-0 in their last 5 games as a favorite. The Rockies are 16-5 in their last 21 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. The Diamondbacks are 1-4 in their last 5 overall. Eveland is making his first start of the season for Arizona today. It won’t be pretty against a Colorado team that hits the cover off of the ball. Take Colorado.
