Angels (Weaver) @ Yankees (Nova) 7:05 ET
Game # 967-968 Play On: Yankees -125 (10*) I know many of you out there may be hesitant to go against Jered Weaver who's been outstanding in recent starts. However consider this, in his last 5 starts at Yankee Stadium Weaver has posted a very lofty 6.82 ERA and 1.62 WHIP. Weaver also has one start under his belt this season in a game that took place in Anaheim. He was very shaky in that outing as well allowing 5 earned runs and 7 hits while walking 4 in 6.0 innings. The Yankees Ivan Nova has been magnificent since returning from the disabled list. Nova is 5-1 in his last 6 team starts with an excellent 1.60 ERA. The Yankees took the opening game of this series yesterday 14-7. The Bronx Bombers are 14-1 this year following a win by 4 runs or more, and are a perfect 9-0 in 2013 after scoring 8 or more runs in their previous game. Any American League home team with a starting pitcher who has an ERA of 3.20 or less on the season, versus an opponent who's hitting .265 or less as a team on the year, and their starting pitcher has a WHIP of 1.10 or less in his last 10 outings is 43-11 (79.6%) since the start of the 2009 season.

Bailey has been especially dominating in his last 3 versus the Cubs posting an excellent 1.27 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in those outings. Bailey is an extremely profitable 42-15 in his last 57 team starts versus opponents with a losing record.

The Diamondbacks are a very profitable 7-2 at home this season with Miley as their starter. The Baltimore starter Scott Feldman has been less than impressive since coming over in a trade from the Cubs. In his last 5 starts Feldman has posted a very lofty 6.23 ERA.

The Baltimore right-hander is just 4-13 in his team starts the last 2 seasons when facing an opponent with a winning record. Play on the Arizona Diamondbacks as a 10* Best Bet.

Boston (Peavy) @ Kansas City (Santana) 8:10 ET
Game # 923-924 Play On: Kansas City +100 (10*) One of the best kept secrets in baseball this season is how terrific a year Ervin Santana has had for the Royals. Santana enters tonight 4-0 in his last 4 team starts with an excellent 1.27 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. Santana is 3-0 in his last 3 team starts versus Boston with an outstanding 2.07 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and a 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Santana is 15-4 in his career team starts as a home underdog of +100 to +125. The Royals are a sizzling 14-2 in their last 16 games overall and find themselves just 4.5 games out of a wild card spot in the American League. In spite of having a stellar year this season The Red Sox are still just 39-70 in the last 2 seasons when facing an American League starting pitcher with an ERA of 4.00 or less on the year. Jake Peavy makes his 2nd career start for Boston after coming over in a trade from the White Sox last week. Peavy was impressive in his Red Sox debut. However, Peavy has struggled versus the Royals gone 0-4 in his last 4 team starts with a lofty 5.55 ERA. Any American League team which is +125 to -125 on the money line with a starting pitcher that has an ERA of 3.20 or less on the season, and they're playing in game 82 or beyond is 82-37 (68.9%) since the start of the 2009 year.

In spite of last night's 3-1 low scoring affair Toronto has gone over the total in 11 of their 14 road games this season versus opponents with a losing record. There's no denying that Felix Hernandez has been absolutely dominating in recent starts on top of being in the midst of an excellent season.

The Tampa Bay starter Archer has seen his last 4 starts go under the total while posting a microscopic 0.29 ERA in doing so. Included in those 4 starts were 2 complete game shutouts.

Both of these starting pitchers enter tonight in bad form. The Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie has posted a lofty 5.21 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Guthrie has seen 20 of his 28 career team starts go over the total when he's working on 5 or 6 days rest. The Minnesota starter Kevin Correia has been terrible over his last 5 starts as evidenced by his large 7.50 ERA and 1.88 WHIP. The Twins have gone over the total in 14 of their 19 home games this season versus an American League opponent with an on-base-percentage of .320 or less on the year.

The Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo is in excellent form over his last 4 starts posting a superb 1.61 ERA, a 0.71 WHIP, and a 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Since the start of the 2009 season Arroyo has posted a stellar 2.30 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 6 starts versus the Dodgers. The bad news for the Reds is they suffered a 2-1 loss last night at Dodger Stadium. The good news is that Cincinnati is a perfect 9-0 this season following a loss when Bronson Arroyo is their starting pitcher. The Reds have a huge +4.2 run per game differential in those 9 wins. The Dodgers starter Ryu has developed into a bonafide #2 starter in the rotation behind Clayton Kershaw.

The Rockies have gone under the total in their last 5, 10 of the last 11, 13 of the last 15, and 20 of their last 25 games.

The Colorado starter Tyler Chatwood has seen his last 3 starts all go under the total while compiling an excellent 1.74 ERA in those outings.

Tim Lincecum threw the first no-hitter of his career in his previous start. That in itself is very ironic considering Lincecum no longer throws with the velocity he did earlier in his career and was having his worst year leading up to his no-hit gem. Lincecum also threw 148 pitches in his last outing. In his last 3 starts versus the Reds Lincecum has posted a large 8.81 ERA and 1.83 WHIP. Lincecum is 0-10 in his team starts this season following a Giants loss. The Giants are a dismal 1-11 this season when facing a starting pitcher who averages 6.5 or more innings per start. The Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo enters tonight in very good form off his last 3 starts posting a terrific 2.37 ERA, a 0.68 WHIP, and a 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

The Giants are just on an unbelievable roll right now and continue to be undervalued. Tonight they send their ace to the hill Matt Cain who has posted a stellar 2.44 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over his last 6 starts. Cain is also an extremely profitable 10-2 in his last 12 starts as a road underdog. He will be facing a Tigers team that

The Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong has been absolutely lights out over his last 6 starts. In those 6 outings Vogelsong has posted a terrific 1.00 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. Vogelsong has gone under the total in 20 of his 24 starts the last 2 seasons after allowing 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 2 starts.
The Detroit starter Annibal Sanchez has been red-hot over his last 4 starts posting an excellent 0.94 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. all 4 of those starts have gone under the total. Sanchez has gone under the total in all 10 starts this season after allowing 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 2 starts. Sanchez also has a very good 1.98 ERA in 5 career starts versus the Giants with all of those outings taking place since 2010. Both pitchers will be relieved to know that the home plate umpire will be Felix Culberth who has seen 23 of his 36 games behind the plate this season go under the total. Any team with a total of 7.0 or less that has committed no errors over their last 3 games, and they're starting pitcher has a WHIP of 1.0 or less over his last 3 starts has seen 733 of those 103 games (70.9%) go under the total since the start of the 2008 season. Play on this game to go under the total. |

10-25-12 | Detroit Tigers v. San Francisco Giants OVER 7 | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
The Giants starter Madison Bumgarner has seen just 1 of his last 9 starts go under the total. Much of that can be attributed to his large 7.59 ERA and 1.96 WHIP in those outings. The Giants have gone under the total in just 3 of their 13 postseason games this year. San Francisco has scored 5 or more runs in their last 4 games averaging 7.9 rpg. in those contests. San Francisco has gone under the total in just 6 of their last 28 games when facing a right-handed starting pitcher. As good as Doug Fister's ERA has been for the Tigers over the last 3 starts it's a bit misleading considering his lofty 1.53 WHIP in those outings. Play on this game to go over the total.

There's no doubt that it's a risky venture going against a red-hot Jason Verlander right now. However, the old saying is "no risk then no reward". That phrase couldn't be more applicable when it comes to this selection. The truth of the matter is Jason Verlander is just 2-5 in his last 7 team starts when pitching on 7 or more days of rest. The Tigers are also just 5-16 in their last 21 road games this season versus left-handed starting pitchers. Detroit is also a dismal 3-13 this season after allowing 3 runs or less in each of their last 2 games.
The Giants are an unbelievable 13-0 in their last 13 games this season with Barry Zito is their starter. Zito has also been very sharp over his last 7 starts posting a stellar 2.20 ERA. The Giants are a team that I find hard to undervalue right now regardless of what starting pitcher they |

The Giants starter Matt Cain has been brilliant at home this season. In 16 starts at his home venue Cain has a terrific 2.18 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a better than 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Cain is 23-8 in his last 31 home team starts when the total is 7.0-8.5. The Giants are 17-7 in their last 24 games played on Mondays. Why is that so important? If you couple that with the fact that with since the start of the 1997 season any National League home favorite of between -125 to -175 playing on a Monday, and has a starting pitcher who has an ERA of 3.00 or less on the season is an outstanding 92-33 (73.6%). This will be the Giants 6th time already in this postseason they will be facing elimination and obviously they have won the first 5 to get to this point.
The Cardinals have been far from a great road team in 2012 including the postseason they're just 42-46. The Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse is a dismal 8-18 in his last 26 road team starts versus a team with a winning record. In spite of this series being tied heading into a deciding Game 7 the Cardinals have scored just 3 runs or less in 4 of the first 6 games. Play on the San Francisco Giants. |

Vogelsong is 2-0 versus the Cardinals this season with a microscopic 0.64 ERA. Vogelsong is 12-3 in his team starts this season after allowing 1 earned run or less in his previous start.
The Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter returned from the DL on 9/21/2012. This will be only his 6th start of the entire season. The Cardinals are a dismal 1-4 in his first 5. Although Carpenter's ERA doesn't reflect it he has been very fortunate it's not a lot worse in his last 3 starts considering a poor 1.66 WHIP in those outings. Carpenter is also a dismal 2-9 in his team starts the last 2 seasons during the day. (The game being played in a Pacific time zone today so is considered a day game..)

The San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum hasn't started since 9/30/12 and like most of his season the last 2 outings weren't very good. In those 2 starts Lincecum posted a very lofty 9.90 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP, and allowed 4 home runs in just 10.0 innings. Although he has very good numbers in his career versus the Cardinals Lincecum wasn't very impressive in his last 2 starts versus St. Louis in posting a lofty 7.59 ERA and 1.69 WHIP. The Giants have gone over the total in 62.7% of their road games so far this season.
The Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright has seen 6 of his last 8 starts go over the total while posting a lofty 5.97 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in the process. The Cardinals are hitting a very brisk .283 as a team a home this season. Play on this game to go over total. |

Sabathia who is 5-0 in his last 5 starts with an excellent 1.51 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and a better than 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. In addition Sabathia is a perfect 3-0 this season versus the Tigers with a very good 3.32 ERA.
All teams when the money line is +125 to -125 batting .200 or worse over their last 5 games, against opponent starting a pitcher who gave up 1 earned run or less in his last 2 outings is 83-46 (64.3%) since the start of the 1997 season. Play on the New York Yankees. |

The Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse has been super in 16 home starts this season with a stellar 2.33 ERA and 1.07 WHIP.

This line should tell you everything considering the success that the Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter has had in the last 2 postseasons. In spite of that fact it didn't deter the books from making the Giants a small favorite in this spot. The Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong has been absolutely terrific over his last 4 starts. Don't be fooled by Vogelsong's lofty career ERA versus the Cardinals as most of that damage was inflicted earlier in his career as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Vogelsong has been lights out versus the Cardinals in his two starts since the beginning of the 2011 campaign as a member of the Giants. The Giants know they can't afford to dig themselves another 2-0 hole at home and go on to winning the series like they did in the NLDS versus the Reds. Play on the San Francisco Giants.

The Yankees starter Andy Pettite has a long and glorious history of postseason performances. Pettite is 6-1 in his home team starts this season with an excellent 1.86 ERA. Detroit does get the benefit of starting this series after a one day rest while the Yankees have to regain their focus after winning an elimination game last night to advance. However, the Tigers are just 4-14 this season on the road following an off day. The Detroit starter Doug Fister is a miserable 12-32 in his career team starts on the road.
