New York Yankees (-110) – Wed September 10 ’08 3:35p
Now these teams are on the opposite side of the spectrum this season, with the New York Yankees about to miss the playoffs for the first time since 1994 and the Angels owning the best record in baseball, but this game looks like a pitching mismatch in favor of the Yankees. Dustin Moseley is a fill-in starter for the Angels, and he has been simply brutal in seven starts this season. Moseley is 1-4 with a ridiculously high 7.90 ERA and 1.92 WHIP, and he has yet to record a Quality Start. As bad a year as the Yankees are having, they are still potent offensively and should feast on Moseley here. Now Andy Pettitte is nowhere near the pitcher he used to be, but he still looks like a stud when compared to his mound opponent here. Pettitte has done his best pitching on the road, where he is 8-5 with a very nice 3.68 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, and he recorded a Quality Start in his only other start at Anaheim this season. Take the Yankees as modest chalk today. MLB Free Pick: Yankees -110 

Tampa Bay Rays (180) – Wed September 10th ’08 7:05p
The Tampa Bay Rays recorded the biggest win in the history of their franchise in dramatic fashion last night, and we look for them to ride that momentum to a second straight upset of the Boston Red Sox tonight. The Rays scored two runs in the ninth inning off of Jonathan Papelbon last night, and we would not be at all surprised if this game tonight turns into another battle of the bullpens. That is an area where Tampa Bay has the edge, as they rank second in the American League with a 3.45 pen ERA. Boston starter Josh Beckett is obviously not at full health right now, and he was limited to just five innings in his last start despite not allowing a single run and only four hits with seven strikeouts. Still, Beckett has not pitched well at all here at Fenway Park this year, where he had a whopping 6.02 ERA. The combination of a shaky Beckett and a demoralized bullpen does not bode well for laying this huge price tonight. Now granted, Andy Sonnanstine has not pitched nearly as well as his 13-7 record would indicate. However, he does usually keep the Rays in games and he does have a decent 1.25 WHIP on the road. Look for Andy to do his thing for five innings or so and for the fine Rays pen to take over from there. Finally, one cannot put a price on the emotional high the Rays are on after last night, and we would not be surprised if some of their fringe players continue to step up in the absence of Crawford and Longoria.
