Chicago Cubs (34-33) at Detroit (39-31)

The first-place Tigers hand the ball to rising rookie right-hander Rick Porcello (8-4, 3.54 ERA) for the middle game of a three-game set at Comerica Park against the Cubs, who will counter with righty Rich Harden (4-3, 5.27).

In Tuesday night’s opener, Detroit got a two-run, walk-off home run from Ryan Rayburn, turning a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 victory. The Tigers have won five in row and are on additional streaks of 6-0 at home, 50-21 in interleague contests and a solid 41-12 when hosting National League clubs..

Chicago has now lost seven straight games in American League parks and is just 4-12 in its last 16 road games overall, but the Cubs are 4-1 in their last five interleague contests – all against the A.L. Central.

In this occasional rivalry, Detroit has won five straight meetings overall and seven of nine since 2000, but the visitor is 7-2 in that same timeframe.

The Tigers have won three in a row and eight of their last nine backing Porcello, with the 20-year-old going 7-1 with a 2.42 ERA in that stretch, allowing 14 runs in 52 innings. Last Thursday, he yielded three runs (one earned) on eight hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-3 road win over St. Louis. Detroit is 4-1 in Porcello’s last five home starts, where the youngster is 3-2 with a 4.22 ERA. This will be his first career start against Chicago.

The Cubs are 1-2 in Harden’s last three starts, following a five-game win streak behind the 27-year-old. Harden had his worst outing of the season last Friday at Wrigley Field, getting roughed up for seven runs on seven hits and five walks against Cleveland, but Chicago rallied from a 7-0 hole to post an 8-7 win in 10 innings. Chicago is 6-2 in Harden’s last eight outings overall and 7-2 in his last nine against winning teams.

Harden is 2-0 with a solid 2.84 ERA in three road starts this year, and he’s 3-1 with a 3.48 ERA in five career starts against Detroit.

The Cubs carry “under” trends of 21-10 overall, 7-2 on the highway, 10-3 against winning teams and 14-7 versus right-handed starters. Similarly, the Tigers are on “under” runs of 11-5 at home and 19-8 versus right-handed starters. However, six of the last seven Cubs-Tigers clashes have topped the posted total.

ATS ADVANTAGE: DETROIT

Philadelphia (37-31) at Tampa Bay (37-35)

Last year’s World Series participants meet for Game 2 of a three-game series, with the Rays sending right-hander Matt Garza (4-5, 3.83 ERA) to the hill opposite the Phillies’ Joe Blanton (4-3, 5.28) at Tropicana Field.

Philadelphia picked up where it left off in the World Series on Tuesday, pounding Tampa Bay and young lefty David Price 10-1. The Phillies, who entered this series coming off a dismal 1-8 homestand, have baseball’s best road mark at 24-9, and they’re 38-16 in their last 54 roadies dating to last season. However, they’re still on a 10-19 nosedive in interleague road contests.

Despite last night’s defeat, Tampa Bay has won eight of its last 12 overall and is on further rolls of 79-33 at the Trop, 44-17 when hosting teams with a winning record, 4-1 in interleague home games and 5-2 against the N.L. East.

Philadelphia took out Tampa Bay in five games in last year’s Fall Classic, with the home team going 4-1. These squads have met 13 times since 2000, and the host has gone 9-4, with the Rays winning five of their last seven clashes at the Trop.

The Rays have lost four of five behind Garza, totaling just nine runs in those four setbacks. On Friday at Colorado, the right-hander allowed four runs on five hits (three homers) and two walks in a 4-3 loss. The 25-year-old is 3-2 with a 3.52 ERA in eight home starts this season, and in his lone career start against the Phillies, Garza got a no-decision in Game 3 of the World Series, allowing four runs on six hits (three homers) and two walks in six innings, with the Rays losing 5-4 in Philadelphia.

The Phillies have lost three in row with Blanton taking the ball, though he’s gotten no-decisions in all three contests. On Friday against Toronto, the beefy right-hander gave up four runs on nine hits (two homers) and two walks in 5 1/3 innings of an 8-7 home loss. In four starts prior to that, Blanton had allowed just six total earned runs over 27 innings (2.00 ERA).

Blanton is 3-1 with a 4.37 ERA in six road outings this year, and he’s 2-3 with a 6.05 ERA in eight career regular-season starts against Tampa Bay, all when he was with Oakland. Additionally, he got the win in a 10-2 home blowout of the Rays in Game 4 of the World Series. With Blanton throwing, the Phils are on runs of 14-6 overall, 9-3 against winning teams and 4-1 on the highway.

The under for Tampa Bay is on streaks of 4-2 overall (all in interleague play), 8-4-1 at home, 24-10-1 in interleague home games, 5-0 behind Garza and 5-0-1 in Garza’s last six interleague starts. Likewise, Philadelphia is riding “under” streaks of 17-9-1 in interleague play, 6-1 in A.L. ballparks and 5-2-1 on artificial turf.

Finally, despite last night’s slugfest, the under is 4-2-1 in the last seven head-to-head meetings in Tampa Bay, including 2-0 in last year’s Fall Classic.

ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER

5* (963) NY Yankees at Braves: Have to back the powerful visiting offense here. A reliable start goes for NY, which is a key with this team, because the offense is loaded, ranked 2nd in the AL in runs, first in slugging an even 5th in steals. The slumping Atlanta offense has never faced hard throwing Joba Chamberlain before (3-2, 3.89 ERA). Atlanta won a series Monday in a make-up game with the Cubs, but take a closer look: The Braves have gone 1-5-3 in their last nine series. And this is a tough stretch, facing the Yankees, Boston Red Sox and defending champion Philadelphia Phillies over the next 9 days. This Atlanta offense has struggled all season, ranked 11th in the NL in runs and 9th in OBP. Have to back the talented and balanced visitors. Play the NY Yankees

Chicago’s lovable losers stuck it to Hondo last night - just as they did Monday night – getting dinged in Detroit to trim the earnings to 280 gilliams.

Tonight, he’s woofing about Wolf—10 units on the Dodgers to hose the Chisox.

Detroit is 4-1 in Porcello’s last five home starts, where the youngster is 3-2 with a 4.22 ERA. This will be his first career start against Chicago.

The Cubs are 1-2 in Harden’s last three starts, following a five-game win streak behind the 27-year-old. Harden had his worst outing of the season last Friday at Wrigley Field, getting roughed up for seven runs on seven hits and five walks against Cleveland, but Chicago rallied from a 7-0 hole to post an 8-7 win in 10 innings.

Harden is 2-0 with a solid 2.84 ERA in three road starts this year, and he’s 3-1 with a 3.48 ERA in five career starts against Detroit.

The Cubs carry “under” trends of 21-10 overall, 7-2 on the highway, 10-3 against winning teams and 14-7 versus right-handed starters. Similarly, the Tigers are on “under” runs of 11-5 at home and 19-8 versus right-handed starters. However, six of the last seven Cubs-Tigers clashes have topped the posted total.

Philadelphia (37-31) at Tampa Bay (37-35)

Last year’s World Series participants meet for Game 2 of a three-game series, with the Rays sending right-hander Matt Garza (4-5, 3.83 ERA) to the hill opposite the Phillies’ Joe Blanton (4-3, 5.28) at Tropicana Field.

However, they’re still on a 10-19 nosedive in interleague road contests.

Despite last night’s defeat, Tampa Bay has won eight of its last 12 overall and is on further rolls of 79-33 at the Trop, 44-17 when hosting teams with a winning record, 4-1 in interleague home games and 5-2 against the N.L. East.

Philadelphia took out Tampa Bay in five games in last year’s Fall Classic, with the home team going 4-1. These squads have met 13 times since 2000, and the host has gone 9-4, with the Rays winning five of their last seven clashes at the Trop.

The Rays have lost four of five behind Garza, totaling just nine runs in those four setbacks. On Friday at Colorado, the right-hander allowed four runs on five hits (three homers) and two walks in a 4-3 loss. The 25-year-old is 3-2 with a 3.52 ERA in eight home starts this season, and in his lone career start against the Phillies, Garza got a no-decision in Game 3 of the World Series, allowing four runs on six hits (three homers) and two walks in six innings, with the Rays losing 5-4 in Philadelphia.

The Phillies have lost three in row with Blanton taking the ball, though he’s gotten no-decisions in all three contests. On Friday against Toronto, the beefy right-hander gave up four runs on nine hits (two homers) and two walks in 5 1/3 innings of an 8-7 home loss. In four starts prior to that, Blanton had allowed just six total earned runs over 27 innings (2.00 ERA).

Blanton is 3-1 with a 4.37 ERA in six road outings this year, and he’s 2-3 with a 6.05 ERA in eight career regular-season starts against Tampa Bay, all when he was with Oakland. Additionally, he got the win in a 10-2 home blowout of the Rays in Game 4 of the World Series. With Blanton throwing, the Phils are on runs of 14-6 overall, 9-3 against winning teams and 4-1 on the highway.

The under for Tampa Bay is on streaks of 4-2 overall (all in interleague play), 8-4-1 at home, 24-10-1 in interleague home games, 5-0 behind Garza and 5-0-1 in Garza’s last six interleague starts. Likewise, Philadelphia is riding “under” streaks of 17-9-1 in interleague play, 6-1 in A.L. ballparks and 5-2-1 on artificial turf.

Finally, despite last night’s slugfest, the under is 4-2-1 in the last seven head-to-head meetings in Tampa Bay, including 2-0 in last year’s Fall Classic.

San Diego Padres vs. Seattle Mariners:

Seattle Mariners -140

Reasons why the Mariners win:

1.) Coming off a rare home loss to the Padres last night, Seattle will be hungry to get back into the win column Wednesday. They should have no problem getting the job done against Josh Geer who is 0-2 with a 6.99 ERA on the road this season through 5 starts, and 0-1 with a 7.56 ERA over his last 3 starts. The Padres are 0-5 in Geer�s 5 road starts this season and that streak won�t end Wednesday.

2.) System Play. We�ll Play Against – Road teams when the money line is +125 to 125 (SAN DIEGO) – with a cold starting pitcher ERA >= 7.50 over his last 3 starts, with an on base percentage of .310 or worse over their last 20 games. This is a 46-12 ML System hitting 79.3% over the last 5 seasons.

Bet the Mariners at home.
