7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Colts +9
The Key: Preseason teams listed as an underdog or pick (Indy in this case) that are coming off a home loss by 10 points or more and have a losing record are 44-21 ATS since 1993. If the team is winless in the preseason, this system tightens up to 20-6 ATS the last 10 seasons. We'll ride this powerful super situation to another cover tonight. Take the points.

6* MLB CA$H COW on Nationals -133
The Key: The Nationals are 14-3 in their last 17 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and I like their chances of building on this trend tonight. Wade Miley was shelled in his debut, and I expect another rough one out of him this evening. The Nats are in much better hands with Lannan. They're 7-3 in his last 10 home starts, 5-1 in his last 6 home starts vs. a team with a winning record and 8-3 in his last 11 starts when he gets the ball following a team loss in the previous game. The Diamondbacks are 1-6 in their last 7 games as a road underdog. Take Washington.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Bengals -2.5
The Key: The Bengals haven't started 0-3 in the preseason since 2007, and I expect them to show up tonight in their first home game. Odds makers are tipping their hand here, favoring Cincy after it has looked awful in its first 2 preseason games. The public money is coming in on Carolina and that's where the books want it. People can't forget that Carolina was the worst team in the NFL last season, and I expect it to look like it tonight as Cam Newton gets the majority of the snaps against a very good Cincy secondary. He is yet to lead the offense to a touchdown. Andy Dalton has had struggles of his own but should be a lot more comfortable playing on his home turf tonight. We'll lay the points.

7* MLB Humpday *HEAVY HITTER* on Twins -125
The Key: The Twins are 26-10 in Slowey's last 36 home starts while the Orioles are 8-22 in Guthrie's last 30 road starts. The Twins are an insane 82-38 in their last 120 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150, 4-1 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series and 7-3 in their last 10 in the 3rd game of a series. The Orioles are 2-8 in their last 10 in game 3 of a series and 3-13 in their last 16 games following a win. Pound the Twins.

7* NL West Game of the Year on Giants -133
The Key: Arizona's current losing streak has enabled the Giants to stay in the NL West race. They are only a game back. Arizona plays earlier and the Giants will be motivated whether the D-backs win or not. Back at home following a length road trip, I expect the reigning World Series champs to take advantage of the opportunity. I have no problem fading San Diego's Latos here as the Padres have lost his last 5 starts against the Giants. The Padres are 2-7 in Latos' last 9 starts and 1-7 in his last 8 series-opening starts. The Giants are 38-17 in Cain's last 55 home starts, 10-2 in his last 12 starts on 5 days' rest and 15-4 in his last 19 starts vs. the National League West. The Giants have won 5 of the last 6 meetings in the series. Take San Fran.

6* Monday Night MLB Blowout on Cardinals -1.5 +132
The Key: Plays against road underdogs with a money line of +175 to +250 (LA DODGERS) - with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better on the season (NL) against an opponent with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.70 or better on the season (NL) - are 52-4 since 1997 with an average losing margin of 2.7 runs. This system is a perfect 13-0 the last 3 seasons. Also, the Cards have won each of Carpenter's 5 home starts against the Dodgers with all of those wins coming by at least 2 runs. Take St. Louis on the run line.

7* NFLX Game of the Week on NY Giants -4.5
The Key: Chicago's offensive line was a major issue when it went up against the Giants in the 2010 regular season. It was also a major issue last week when it allowed nine sacks against Buffalo. Expect New York's top-notch pass rush to be the difference in this one. Also, keep in mind that Chicago is just 3-12 ATS off a home win in the preseason since 1993. Lay the points.

7* Sunday Night Baseball *HEAVY HITTER* (ESPN) on Cardinals -135
The Key: The Cubs are a poor 5-13 off 2 straight home wins against division rivals over the last 3 seasons. Plus, the Cards are a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Take St. Louis.

6* NFLX CA$H COW on Bengals +6.5
The Key: The Bengals are being undervalued here because they were blown out in Week 1. They'll put a much larger emphasis on winning this game tonight with the starters expected to play the first half. Plus, I really like what Bruce Gradkowski and Jordan Palmer bring to the table. They'll quarterback the 3rd and 4th quarters, giving Cincy an edge in the second half over Greg McElroy, who's expected to get the majority of the snaps again for New York.

6* NFLX CA$H COW on Texans +2
The Key: The Saints were 0-2 on the road in the preseason last year, and their preseason road woes will continue tonight as injuries force them to play their reserves the large majority of the game. Expect Matt Leinart, who should again see the bulk of the action under center, to torch the Saints' second-team defense in this one.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Giants -164
The Key: The Astros are 1-12 in Lyles' last 13 starts, 0-7 in his last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record and 0-7 in his last 7 starts as an underdog of +151 to +200. The Giants are 6-0 in Bumgarner's last 6 starts as a favorite and 4-0 in his last 4 starts as a favorite of -151 to -200. Take San Fran.

6* NFLX CA$H COW on Arizona Cardinals +5.5
The Key: I expect Kevin Kolb to improve on his solid debut with the Cardinals now that he has a few more practices with the team under his belt and a better understanding of the offense. Plus, backups John Skelton and Max Hall, who got some nice experience last season, should do just fine against Green Bay's reserves. The Packers, who have nothing to prove in the preseason, are being overvalued here because they are the defending Super Bowl champs. We'll take the points as Arizona takes the Pack down to the wire.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Tigers -138
The Key: Detroit is 17-3 in its last 20 home games against Cleveland and 10-4 in Scherzer's last 14 home starts. The Tigers will be very motivated here after losing a series at Cleveland last week. Look for Detroit to continue its home dominance over the Tribe.

7* AL West Game of the Year on Angels -138
The Key: Weaver has been money at home against AL West foes. In fact, the Angels are 12-0 in his home starts against division opponents the last 2 seasons. Also, the Angels are a perfect 8-0 in his last 8 home starts against the Rangers. We'll take the Halos.

6* NFLX National TV CA$H COW (FOX) on Steelers -3 +100
The Key: Coach Mike Tomlin doesn't like to lose any time so you can bet last week's 16-7 loss at Washington isn't sitting well. Tomlin is an impressive 13-5 in the preseason as Pittsburgh head man and hasn't lost more than 1 NFLX game in any of his seasons on the job. Andy Reid typically doesn't place near the emphasis on the preseason, as evidence by his 19-30 record. We'll lay the points with the Steelers at home tonight.

6* Brewers -1.5 +115
The Key: The Brewers are 10-0 in Greinke's home starts this season, winning them by an average of 2.5 runs. Take Milwaukee on the run line.

7* Humpday *HEAVY HITTER* on Cards -130
The Key: Pittsburgh is 0-6 in Maholm's last 6 starts and 16-35 in his last 51 starts. Opponents are hitting .354 off him since the All-Star break. Take St. Louis.

6* Phillies -1.5 -114
The Key: The Phillies have won 11 of Lee's last 15 starts and 10 of those wins have come by at least 2 runs. Lee hasn't allowed a run in his last 2 starts. Take the Phillies on the run line.

7* NL Central Game of the Month on Cardinals -138
The Key: The Cards are 15-2 in Carpenter's 17 career starts against the Bucs, and they have won his last 6 starts on the road in this series. We'll take the Cards tonight.

7* NFLX Game of the Week (ESPN) on Texans -2.5
The Key: The Texans have a huge edge at the all-important quarterback position tonight with veteran Matt Leinart expected to get the majority of the snaps. The Jets won't be able to keep up with 7th-round draft pick Greg McElroy and undrafted free agent Drew Willy seeing the bulk of the action. Kubiak is 3-2 in Week 1 preseason games with Houston while Ryan is 0-2 in Week 1 preseason games with New York. We'll lay the points with the home team.

6* Monday Night Baseball CA$H COW (ESPN2) on Giants +1.5 -165
The Key: The reigning World Series champs aren't getting the respect they deserve at this price. The Giants are 7-2 in Bumgarner's last 9 starts, 5-1 in his last 6 road starts and 6-0 in his last 6 starts as a road underdog of +110 to +150. We'll take San Francisco on the run line.

7* Sunday Night Baseball *HEAVY HITTER* (ESPN) on Cardinals -152
The Key: Motivated by Saturday's loss and looking to keep pace in the NL Central race, expect the Cards to rise to the occasion at home this evening. The Rockies are 2-7 in the last 9 meetings with the Cards and 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in St. Louis. They are also on a poor 6-23 slide in the 3rd game of a series. The Cardinals are 15-6 in their last 21 games as a favorite of -151 to -200. Take the Redbirds.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Browns -2.5
The Key: With new coach Pat Shurmur and the Browns looking to get the fans of Cleveland excited and also looking to build some confidence and momentum, they'll go after a win against the Super Bowl champs. Green Bay really only cares about evaluating some of its young talent. It's biggest goal during the preseason is to avoid injury to key players. Green Bay gave Aaron Rodgers quite a few snaps when these two teams met in last year's preseason and the Browns still won by 3 on the road. He won't get as many tonight, not after the 2 concussions he suffered last season. Green Bay can't afford to take any chances. Take Cleveland.

6* MLB CA$H COW on White Sox -143
The Key: The Sox are in good position to make a run at the AL Central, but they need to take care of business at home to do so. After 7 straight home losses, I expect them to be extremely focused tonight. They are 48-21 in their last 69 home games against the Royals. Peavy appears to have turned a corner. He followed up a solid outing against the Yankees with a gem against Minnesota. The White Sox are 6-2 in his last 8 starts when he takes the ball on 5 days' rest and 8-3 in his last 11 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Take Chi Town.

7* MLB Blowout Game of the Week on Cardinals -150
The Key: The Cards have won 6 of their last 7 against the Rockies. Those 6 wins have come by an average of 3.7 runs. The Rocks have lost 4 straight in St. Louis by an average of 3.5 runs. Colorado has lost 8 of Cook's last 10 starts. Those 8 losses have come by an average of 4.0 runs. Take St. Louis on the money line.

6* NFLX CA$H COW on Dolphins +2
The Key: Miami is an amazing 24-12-2 ATS in its last 38 preseason games in the underdog role. This trend tightens up to an unbelievable 16-2-2 ATS if the Phins are valued as a dog in the first two games of the preseason. The Fish clearly place an emphasis on the preseason. In fact, they are 9-3 in NFLX action the last 3 years. Take the points.

7* NFLX *HEAVY HITTER* on Raiders -3
The Key: Arizona is just 5-12 SU and 6-11 ATS in its last 17 NFL Preseason contests. We'll lay the points with Oakland on its home field.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Cardinals -125
The Key: The Redbirds have won 7 in a row with ace Chris Carpenter on the hill and valued as a favorite of -110 to -150. Take the Cards.

6* White Sox -119
The Key: The South Siders have won 7 of their last 8 on the road and 13 of their last 16 with Buehrle on the bump.

6* Twins +1.5 +110
The Key: The Twins are showing good value catching 1.5 runs at this price when you consider they are 19-6 in Blackburn's last 25 home starts vs. a team with a winning record and 9-3 in his last 12 starts as a home underdog.

6* Rangers -1.5 +100
The Key: The Mariners have lost Vargas' last 6 starts with 5 of those losses coming by 2 or more runs.

7* MLB Humpday *HEAVY HITTER* on Reds -160
The Key: Fading Millwood in his season debut. An ERA above 4.30 in the minors is nothing to celebrate. He was lit up while pitching for Baltimore last year, going 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA. The Rocks have won the first two games of this series, but the Reds are 7-1 in their last 8 games following defeats in the first two games of a series. Pound the Reds in this bounce back spot.

6* Padres +125
The Key: Padres have the edge on the mound here. Harang is 5-0 on the road while Dickey is 1-7 at home this season.

6* Tigers +120
The Key: The Tigers have the edge on the mound with Porcello. They are 6-0 in his last 6 starts.

6* Blue Jays -102
The Key: Gio Gonzalez is struggling for the A's. He's 0-3 with an ERA of 8.82 in his last 3 starts. Plus, the A's have dropped 8 of his 10 home starts this season.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Yankees -113
The Key: Following back-to-back losses to their biggest rival (Boston), expect the Yankees to be extremely motivated when they take the field tonight. The Angels are just 3-11 in their last 14 road games in this series. Plus, Burnett, who will be very focused following one of his worst outings of the season, is 3-0 in 3 career home starts against the Halos. Lastly, plays on home favorites with a money line of -110 or higher (NY YANKEES) - hot hitting team batting .290 or better over its last 20 games against an opponent with a hot starting pitcher (ERA less than 2.50 over his last 3 starts) are 31-5 the last 3 seasons and 6-1 this season. Take the Yanks at a great price.

7* Monday Night Baseball *HEAVY HITTER* (ESPN) on Twins +1.5 -150
The Key: The Red Sox have lost their last 4 series openers, and they are just 7-15 in their last 22 meetings in Minnesota. The Twins have the big edge on the mound with Baker, who's 5-1 at home this season with an ERA of 1.78. The Twins are 35-17 in Baker's last 52 home starts and 20-7 in his last 27 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. Take the Twins on the run line.

7* Sunday Night Baseball *HEAVY HITTER* (ESPN) on Yankees +1.5 -133
The Key: The Yankees are showing good value in the underdog role today, and we'll take them on the run line at a nice price. The Yankees are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss and 5-1 in their last 6 games as an underdog. NY scheduled starter Freddy Garcia is 11-4 on the money line in his last 15 starts as a road underdog of +125 to +150. Take the Yanks on the run line.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Rockies -166
The Key: Hernandez is 0-6 on the money line in his last 6 starts against the Rockies, losing these starts by an average of 2.7 runs. Plus, the Rockies are 7-2 in their last 9 home games against the Nats.

6* Bailout on Angels -1.5 -115
The Key: Weaver has owned Seattle. The Angels have won 15 of his 21 career starts against the M's and 12 of those victories have come by at least 2 runs. Plus, Seattle is 0-5 in Vargas' last 5 starts, losing them by an average of 5.2 runs. Take LAA on the run line.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on D-backs -132
The Key: The Snakes have the decisive edge on the hill with Collmenter, who is carrying an ERA of 2.47 and a WHIP of 0.800 at home this season. Billingsley, meanwhile, has an ERA of 5.63 and a WHIP of 1.588 on the road. The Dodgers are 1-10 since the beginning of last season in road games after scoring 1 or less runs in a loss to a division rival. They are losing by an average of 2.4 runs/game in this situation. Take the Snakes.

6* CA$H COW on Yankees +1.5 -140
The Key: A red hot Yankees club that has won 7 in a row is showing tremendous value catching 1.5 runs at this price with first place in the AL East on the line. Take the Yanks on the run line.

7* MLB Blowout Game of the Month on Pirates -142
The Key: The odds are in Pittsburgh's favor tonight. Hurdle's track record gives the Bucs an excellent chance to bounce back. Consider that his teams are an impressive 59-39 in home games following 3 straight losses to an opponent. His teams are exploding for an average 5.8 runs in this situation. Lopez's clubs have only won 10 of his last 36 starts, and he is even 0-14 on the money line in his last 14 road starts versus National League clubs with an on-base percentage of .325 or less. These clubs have touched him for an average of 6.4 runs and his club has only supported him with an average of 2.4 in this situation. Bet the Bucs.

6* Reds -131
The Key: The Astros, who have lost 26 of their last 36 against the Reds, are 0-10 in Lyles' last 10 starts. Take Cincy.

6* Pirates -101
The Key: The Pirates are 7-1 in Morton's last 8 starts against the National League Central this season. The Cubs are 9-23 in their last 32 road games and 1-5 in Garza's last 6 road starts. Take Pittsburgh.

5* Royals -130
The Key: The Royals are 8-1 in Chen's last 9 home starts, and he is 3-0 on the money line in 3 career starts against Baltimore.

7* 2011 MLB Game of the Year on Reds -121
The Key: Love the Reds, who have won 25 of their last 35 against the Astros, in this bounce back spot with Bailey on the bump. He is 11-0 on the money line in the 2nd half of the season the last 2 seasons when matched up against clubs with a losing record. The Reds are winning these starts by an average score of 5.7 to 2.5. Take the Reds.

5* Rays -145
The Key: Tampa Bay is 9-0 in Price's 9 career starts against the Blue Jays. He is carrying an ERA of 1.99 in those games.

6* Braves -111

6* Tigers -105
The Key: The Tigers have won 14 of their last 17 home games against the Rangers.

5* Pirates -146
The Key: The Cubs are a pathetic 15-36 in their last 51 games following a win and 1-6 in Wells' last 7 starts.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Reds -117
The Key: The Reds have dominated the Astros to the tune of 25-9 in the last 34 meetings, and the domination figures to continue with Houston trading away two of its best players. Cincy has plenty of momentum after sweeping the reigning champs, and Arroyo has owned the Astros. He's won his last 7 starts against them, holding Houston to a single run in 5 of those outings while never giving up more than 3. Bet the Reds.

6* Pirates -138
The Key: Off 3 straight defeats to the best team in the NL, the Pirates will be hungry to get back in the win column against one of the worst teams in the NL. They are 7-2 in their last 9 home games against Chicago, and 5-0 in Maholm's 5 career home starts against the Cubs. Take Pittsburgh on the money line.

5* Braves -142
The Key: The Nats have lost each of Hernandez's last 5 starts. The Braves, meanwhile, have won Jurrjens' last 7 starts and 15 of his 19 starts on the year. Take Atlanta on the money line.

7* MLB Runline of the MONTH on Cardinals -1.5 +154

6* Saturday Night Bailout on D-backs +123
The Key: The D-backs are showing excellent value in the underdog role in this bounce back spot against an LA club that is just 1-8 the last 2 seasons in home games after scoring 9 runs or more. It is losing by an average score of 6.3 to 3.1 in this situation. Plus, the Dodgers are just 8-14 in Billingsley's last 22 home starts when priced between -125 and -175. The Dodgers are losing these outings by 2.0 runs/game on average. Take the Snakes.

7* AL Game of the Week on Red Sox -147
The Key: Boston is flat out due against Chicago. I really like the Red Sox in this spot as they welcome Adrian Gonzalez back to the lineup and they bring ace Jon Lester to the mound. Lester is 7-1 on the road with an ERA of 2.80 and enters in top form with an ERA of only 0.55 over his last 3 starts. Humber has been lit up in his last 2 starts, giving up 10 earned on 18 hits in just 9 1/3 innings of work. The White Sox have lost 5 of Humber's last 7 home starts. The Red Sox are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss, and I fully expect them to bounce back strong this evening.

6* Brewers -1.5 -120
The Key: The Brewers have a huge edge on the mound with Gallardo facing off against Happ, and that edge is even bigger now that Gallardo won't have to face Pence, who has been traded to Philly. Happ is a lowly 1-7 on the road with an ERA of 8.02. Gallardo is an impressive 7-1 at home with an ERA of 3.23. Take the Brew Crew on the run line.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on D-backs -109
The Key: The D-backs have the big edge on the hill with Collmenter, who enters this contest in great form. He's only allowed a total of 3 earned runs in his last 3 starts spanning 21 innings. That adds up to an awesome 1.29 ERA. Lilly hasn't been nearly as good. The Dodgers have lost 5 of his last 7 starts, and he checks in with an ERA of 5.94 over his last 3 starts. Take the Snakes.

6* Cardinals -132
The Key: The Cubs are 0-4 in their last 4 games against the Cardinals, 6-21 in their last 27 road games and 0-7 in their last 7 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150. Take St. Louis.

6* Rangers -124
The Key: The reigning AL champs are a perfect 7-0 in their last 7 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. They have won 16 of their last 21 overall and 17 of their last 22 series openers. The Blue Jays are just 4-11 in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Take Texas.

6* Run Line Rout on Cardinals -1.5 +115
The Key: The Cardinals have won 8 of Garcia's 9 home starts in 2011, during which he has posted an ERA of only 1.14. It is worth nothing that 6 of those wins have come by 2 or more runs. Take St. Louis on the run line.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Rangers -155
The Key: Texas is 17-2 in home games after 2 or more consecutive losses over the last 2 seasons. It is winning by an average score of 6.9 to 3.6 in this spot. Also, plays on home favorites with a money line of -110 or higher (TEXAS) - hot hitting team batting .290 or better over their last 20 games against opponent with a hot starting pitcher - ERA less than 2.50 over his last 3 starts - are 55-12 the last 5 seasons. This system is a perfect 4-0 this season. Take Texas.

6* Afternoon Annihilator on Padres -105
The Key: After back-to-back losses to Arizona, expect San Diego to bounce back strong this afternoon. The Diamondbacks are only 4-11 in their last 15 meetings in San Diego. Latos has pitched well in both career starts against Arizona and enters this contest having allowed 3 earned runs or less in 5 straight and 9 of his last 11 starts. Take the Padres.

6* Rays -127
The Key: The A's are only 2-12 in Cahill's last 14 starts, including 1-6 in his last 7 home starts. Take the Rays in this double revenge spot.

7* National League Game of the Week on Reds -138
The Key: The Reds have been money in the third game of a series, winning 11 of their last 12 Game 3's. In addition, they are on a perfect 6-0 run in the third game of a series if they check in with losses in the first two games. Plus, the Reds are 5-1 in Arroyo's last 6 starts vs. the Mets, and the Mets are 5-17 in Pelfrey's last 22 road starts. Take Cincy.

6* Blue Jays -1.5 +126
The Key: Expect the Blue Jays to bounce back strong from yesterday's embarrassing defeat. Toronto is 19-3 at home against Baltimore the last 3 seasons, winning these games by an average of 3.0 runs. Plus, the Jays have won each of Romero's last 4 home starts against the O's. Those wins have come by an average of 3.8 runs.

7* MLB *HEAVY HITTER* on Rays -126
The Key: The Rays are 39-19 in Price's last 58 starts, 11-4 in his last 15 road starts and 11-1 in his last 12 starts as a road favorite of -110 to -150. Plus, the Rays are 25-5 in Price's last 30 starts when they give him the ball following a loss in their previous game. Take Tampa.

6* Brewers -141
The Key: Dempster has pitched well against the Brewers throughout his career, but Narveson has never lost to the Cubs. He is 4-0 with an ERA of 2.28 in 4 starts against the Cubbies.

5* Tigers -151
The Key: The Tigers have won 10 of Verlander's last 12 starts overall and 7 of his last 8 starts against the White Sox.

5* Reds -142
The Key: The Reds have the edge on the mound with Cueto, who is 6-3 with an ERA of 1.98.

5* Angels -135
The Key: The Halos have the edge on the mound with Weaver, who is 13-4 with an ERA of 1.81.

5* Red Sox -1.5 -132
The Key: The Red Sox have scored 10 or more runs 14 times since May 20 and lead the major with 541 runs. No other team can come close to touching that production. Expect Beat Town to keep swinging hot bats against Davies, who is 1-5 with an ERA of 9.35 on the road this season. Take Boston on the run line.

7* MLB Run Line Game of the Month on Yankees -1.5 +100
The Key: I have no problem fading Seattle here. It has lost 15 in a row with 13 of those losses coming by at least 2 runs. Plus, the M's have lost each of Vargas' last 3 starts against the Yanks with all 3 of those defeats coming by at least 2 runs. Take New York on the run line.

6* Sunday Night Baseball CA$H COW (ESPN) on Braves -121
The Key: Expect a Braves club that is 8-1 in its last 9 games following defeat to bounce back strong from yesterday's 11-2 loss. The Reds have dropped 6 in a row in the underdog role and scheduled starter Dontrelle Willis is 0-6 on the ML in his last 6 starts. Take Atlanta.

7* MLB Public Opinion Game of the Year on Rays -102
The Key: I'm extremely confident the public has this one right. KC hasn't swept the Rays in a three-game series at home in a decade and the Rays are a near-perfect 7-1 in their last 8 games following defeats in the first two games of a series. Also confident the Rays have the edge on the mound with Cobb, who is carrying a tiny 1.85 ERA over his last 4 starts. Pound the Rays.

6* MLB Run Line Rout on Phillies -1.5 +106
The Key: The Phillies have won 8 in a row against the Padres by a minimum of 2 runs. With Halladay out to atone for his shortest performance of the season, the Padres have their work cut out for themselves. Take Philly on the RL.

5* Giants -133
The Key: The 2010 World Series champs have the definite edge on the hill with Vogelsong, who is 4-1 at home with an ERA of 1.15 on the season. The Brew Crew, meanwhile, have dropped 6 of Wolf's last 8 road starts. Take Frisco.
