Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays u7.0 (-105) MLB Odds - Tue August 26th ‘08 7:10p
Roy Halladay of the Toronto Blue Jays is arguably the best pitcher in baseball, while few pitchers have been as dominant at home as James Shields of the Tampa Bay Rays, so runs should be hard to come by tonight. Halladay is 15-9 with a fantastic 2.68 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 198 innings, and he personally has more Complete Games than any other team in the league. He has maintained his form all year, as he comes into this contest off of six consecutive Quality Starts, with one of those coming vs. these Rays in a tough-luck 3-0 loss in Toronto. Now Shields is 11-7 with a 3.68 ERA, but the real story is that he is 8-1 at home with a 2.21 ERA and a microscopic 0.95 WHIP in 101.2 home innings. He has six Quality Starts in his last seven outings, and he allowed just four runs in the lone non-quality effort. He is also a perfect six for six in his career in Quality Starts vs. the Blue Jays, including three starts this season. Throw in the fact that these are the top two bullpens in the American League in ERA, and the Under seems like an easy call here. MLB Free Pick: Blue Jays, Rays Under 7 (-105) Courtesy of LT Profits
 
Minnesota Twins @ Seattle Mariners u8.5 (-105) MLB Odds - Tue August 26th ‘08 10:10p
Scott Baker of the Minnesota Twins has been very solid this year while Ryan Rowland-Smith of the Seattle Mariners keeps improving with each start of his young career, so look for a low scoring contest here. Rowland-Smith has made just five major league starts, and his last one was arguably his best start yet. He allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings vs. the Oakland Athletics, and he should be anxious to redeem himself after getting bombed by these Twins at Minnesota the first time he faced them. Baker meanwhile is 7-3 for the season with a nice 3.74 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 127.2 innings. He has held his form well with a 3.10 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in his last three starts, and he has been outstanding in his last two road outings, allowing a total of three runs and only 11 hits in 15 innings. We look for each pitcher to maintain their current form here tonight. MLB Free Pick: Twins, Mariners Under 8.5 (-105) Courtesy of LT Profits - Click Here for more free Baseball Betting Picks

Oakland Athletics @ Los Angeles Angels u7.5 (-115) MLB Odds - Tue August 26th ‘08 10:05p
Tonight the Athletics look to snag two wins in a row from the Angels in Los Angeles and they will do so with left hander Greg Smith on the hill. The Angels will counter with their ace, John Lackey. We are going to go with the UNDER in this AL West division battle. Oakland starter Greg Smith possesses a stellar 3.75 ERA and a respectable 1.33 WHIP. Despite his strong numbers, he is just 6-12 on the year due to Oakland’s offensive ineptitude. Smith has allowed an average of 2.6 runs per game in his last five away starts, but Oakland has produced an average of just 2.00 runs per game. Consequently, Oakland went 1-4 in those games and the under went 5-0. Smith has three career outings against the Angels and the under is 2-0-1 in those starts. The southpaw has allowed Los Angeles just seven earned runs in total, and in his two starts at LA he has allowed a total of three earned runs. The average game score in his LA starts was 4.50. John Lackey is having his usual solid year with a 3.09 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 10-2 record. Lackey is always tough at home and he has allowed just 2.5 earned runs per game in his last 10 home starts. In his last 10 starts against Oakland the under is 8-2 and the average game score was 5.8. In his last five goes at home against the A’s, Lackey has allowed just eight earned runs. This should be a typical low scoring affair between these two teams.

Things to consider: Oakland has averaged just 2.7 runs per game in their last 10 road games. The Under is 13-1 in Greg Smith’s away starts and 20-3 on the season. The Under is 39-21 in Oakland road games and 52-30 in Oakland night games. The Under is 23-10 when LA faces a left handed pitcher and 13-7 when LA plays on a Tuesday. The Under is 12-6 in when John Lackey starts (2008 stat). Take the UNDER 7.5 -115 - Courtesy of Matt Foust
