Pick: Los Angeles Angels -120
On Thursday the Free MLB power system play is on the LA. Angels. Game 913 at 7:05 eastern. The Angels fit a solid system that has won 18 of 22 times and plays on road favorites off a road favored win by 5 or more runs with 5+ men left on base and no errors, vs an opponent off a 5 + run home dog loss and scored 2 or less runs with 5+ men left on base and no more than 1 error. The Angles have Santana going tonight and he has allowed just 5 runs in 24 innings vs Toronto. The Jays have Alvarez going tonight and he has an elevated 4.40 home era in his limited starts. The Angels are averaging close to 6 runs per game as they try to keep their playoff hopes alive. Look for the Angles to win this one. On Thursday its the AL. Total of the Month backed with a killer 100% Totals system. I also have a big Power System side in MLB and the 18-1 NCAAF Power Angle Play. College football picking up right where we left off last year, already 6 games over .500 this season. MLB Sweeps on Wednesday. Jump on and cash out on Thursday. For the free play take The LA. Angels. -Rob Vinciletti
Pick: Baltimore Orioles +140
The Orioles are playing hard for Buck Showhalter down the stretch, sticking it to the Red Sox the last series. One of their best arms goes in Zach Britton (10-10, 4.28 ERA), who has excellent control. The Tigers have never faced him before. The Orioles are 5-0 in their last 5 vs. the American League Central and 7-2 in their last 9 during game 1 of a series. They face a Detroit team that has already clinched and goes with Jacob Turner (7.45 ERA), a spot starter. The Tigers are 0-4 in their last 4 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Play the Orioles! -Jim Feist (Handicapperspicks.com)

Prediction: Los Angeles Angels -175
We’ll lay the juice on the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday. The Angels picked up a game in the wild-card race yesterday, and now sit just 3.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox. They are also five back to the Rangers, and this is clearly a must-win situation for them. We like their chances with Ace Dan Haren on the mound. Haren is 15-9 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.026 WHIP in 32 starts this season. He’ll be up against Dustin McGowan, who has struggled mightily in limited action for the Blue Jays. McGowan sports a 7.50 ERA and 1.750 WHIP in 12 innings pitched in 2011, giving up 10 runs, 11 hits and 10 walks. The Angels are 10-2 in their last 12 games as a favorite of -151 to -200. Los Angeles is 37-14 in their last 51 games as a favorite. The Blue Jays are 1-7 in McGowan’s last 8 starts as an underdog of +151 to +200. Take the Angels on the Money Line. -Black Widow
Prediction: San Diego Padres -110
Colorado is 18-31 this year in day games. San Diego has won 4 of their last 5 games overall. Colorado has now lost 6 games in a row. San Diego bullpen has a 3.04 ERA overall this year and a 3.48 ERA on the road this season. Anthony Bass is 1-0 with a 1.88 ERA overall in 25 appearances this year. Bass has started one game where he is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA and that happened to be in Colorado on June 13th of this year. Aaron Cook is 3-9 with a 5.47 ERA overall this year, 1-4 with a 4.73 ERA at home and 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA his last 3 starts. We’ll recommend a small play on San Diego today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Atkinson
Prediction: Cleveland Indians -145
A pair of teams that are out of it after contending for much of the year. Chicago lefty Mark Buehrle is looking his age, tiring out with an 0-3 record and an 11.74 ERA his last three starts. The White Sox are 1-5 in Buehrle’s last 6 starts. The Indians have pounded him this season for 33 base runners in 19 innings (7.11 ERA). Cleveland has home field and a young arm in Ubaldo Jimenez, who has a 2-1 record and a 2.79 ERA his last three starts. The Indians are 4-1 in Jimenez’s last 5 starts. Play the Indians! -Jim Feist (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Los Angeles Angels -130
Rarely will you get Los Angeles Ace Jared Weaver at this price at home. I’ll take advantage Friday as the Angels trail the Texas Rangers by just 2.5 games in the AL West division and really need this win. Weaver is having a Cy-Young caliber season at 16-7 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.027 WHIP in 29 starts. He has been virtually untouchable at home, going 8-1 with a 1.87 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in Los Angeles. The Angels are 11-2 in Weaver’s 13 home starts in 2011. Los Angeles is 40-14 in Weaver’s last 54 home starts overall. The Angels are 24-8 in Weaver’s last 32 starts as a home favorite of -110 to -150. The Angels are 4-0 in Weaver’s last 4 home starts vs. Yankees. L.A. is 22-10 in their last 32 home meetings with the Yankees. Bet the Angels Friday. -Jack Jones
Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers +110
A rivalry game and while the pressure is all on the Giants, they haven’t had a good September — and time is running out. Park of the problem has been ace Tim Lincecum, who is 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA his last three starts. San Francisco has a poor offense, 3oth in runs, 29th in on base percentage, and faces LA ace Clayton Kershaw. He has a 1.23 ERA his last three starts and the Dodgers are 8-2 his last 10 starts. The Dodgers are 7-2 in their last 9 road games while the Giants are 2-12 in their last 14 during game 1 of a series. Play the LA Dodgers. -Jim Feist
Pick: Florida Marlins -113
Pittsburgh is 38-76 last 3 years when playing against a team with a losing record in the 2nd half of the season. Florida has played better on the road this year with a 35-35 record but are 16 games below .500 overall. Florida bullpen has a 3.44 ERA overall this season. Ross Ohlendorf is 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA overall this year and 0-1 with an 8.21 ERA at home this season. Florida has won all 3 meetings in this series this year. Nolasco is 4-3 with a 1.99 ERA in all starts vs Pittsburgh. We’ll recommend a small play on Florida tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Los Angeles Angels -145
On Tuesday the MLB Free system play is on the LA. Angels. Game 928 at 10:05 eastern. The Angels apply to a nice system that has cashed 12 of 16 times the past 8 years. What we want to do is play on certain home favorites off a home favored win at -200 or higher winning by 2 or more runs and scoring 5 or more runs with no errors, vs an opponent off a road dog loss by 2 or more runs at +200 or higher and scored 4 or less runs with 10+ hits. The Angels have won 19 of 26 here at home vs Seattle and 7 of the last 8. They are 20-7 at home when the total is 7 or less. The total tonight will definitely be 7 or less and F. Hernandez faces E. Santana. Not too often we see Hernandez as this large of a dog. However the line is warranted as Hernandez road numbers are basically the same as Santana at home. Seattle is slumping at the plate averaging just a shade over 3 runs on .229 hitting the past week. The Angels are scoring 5.7 runs over that same time frame. Look for the Angles to win this one tonight. On Tuesday the Lead play is a 25-0 Highest rated NL East play backed with a 100% system and a 100% Power Angle. I also have a 16-1 Dominator system. On Monday we delivered as Our total cashed. Jump on and Cash out On Tuesday. For the free Play take the Angels. -Rob Vinciletti
Pick: Florida Marlins -121
10* Play on Florida at 7:10 ET. I used the Marlins yesterday in an easy 9-3 win over the Mets. Note that the team is 13-4 this year off a win by four or more runs. Since the start of last year, they are 21-10 after scoring 8+ runs. They turn to Chris Volstad, who has an 8-1 TSR off a team win. Florida has now won three straight, including a pair of huge underdog wins over the Phillies. The Mets are just 7-18 L25 games in Miami and this is Miguel Batista’s 1st road start of the season. Take Florida. -Tom Freese
Pick: Minnesota Twins +118
A fun night for the home team, getting a look at top prospect Liam Hendriks. He’s had a great run in the minors and commands 4 good pitches. His fastball touches the low 90s and he also features a decent curve and change-up. What made Hendrik’s so dominant in the minors last year was his control, walking only 12 guys in 108.2 innings! He faces a weak White Sox lineup that is 21st in runs and slugging. Meanwhile, Jake Peavy has run out of gas with a 7.94 ERA his last three starts and he’s 1-2 with a 5.71 ERA against the Twins in 2011. The White Sox are 3-9 in Peavy’s last 12 starts vs. American League Central. Play the Twins. -Jim Feist (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Los Angeles Angels -129
The Los Angeles Angels are badly in need of a win tonight after back-to-back losses to fall 3.5 games behind the Texas Rangers in the AL West. We’ll back them at this generous price tonight. Jerome Williams was excellent in his season debut for the Angels on 8/21, allowing one earned run and six base runners in seven innings of a 7-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Anthony Vasquez wasn’t as fortunate in his debut for the Mariners on 8/23, yielding five earned runs and 11 base runners in 5 1/3 innings of a 12-7 win. There’s no question we are backing the better starter and the better team tonight. The Angels are 37-16 in their last 53 games as a favorite. The Mariners are 16-40 in their last 56 games as an underdog. Seattle is 1-5 in their last 6 home games. The Angels are 47-21 in the last 68 meetings with Seattle. Take the Angels on the Money Line. -Black Widow
Pick: Cardinals vs. Brewers Over 8.5
On Tuesday the Free MLB Totals system Play is on the Over in the St. Louis at Milwaukee game. Rotation numbers 959/960 at 8:10 eastern. This game fits a totals system that has cashed 15 of 20 times. What we want to do is play the over for home favorites off a home favored win and scored 4 or less runs, vs an opponent also off a home favored win at -140 or higher where they scored 5 or more runs. In the series 4 of the 5 here have flown over the total. The Cardinals have played over in 8 of 10 off a day off this season and average 5 runs per game on the road. The Brewers average 5 runs per game here at home. The pitching also suggests an over. Jackson for the Cardinals has a 5.31 road era and Marcum has a 4.29 home era and an even worse 5.68 era vs the Cardinals. With St. Louis having gone over in 5 of their last 6 we will back the Over for the Free Play. See system below. On Tuesday 2 Top plays are going. The Double Perfect totals system play and a Big Diamond cutter with 2 rare systems and a big pitching edge. Jump on and cash them both. For the Free play take the Over in the Cardinals at Brewers game. -Rob Vinciletti (Handicapperspicks.com)

MLB Pick: Oakland Athletics -120
The Oakland A’s are showing excellent value today as a marginal home favorite against the Toronto Blue Jays. Jose Bautista’s absence from the Toronto Blue Jays lineup could be a brief one. It’s not immediately known if the same can be said for Adam Lind. Toronto (64-62) scratched Bautista, the major leagues’ home run leader, with tightness in his neck just minutes before Saturday’s 5-1 loss. Lind, batting cleanup, was hit by a pitch near the right wrist in the first inning and came out of the game for pinch-hitter Mark Teahen in the third. Both Lind and Bautista are likely to be out of the line-up today. The A’s will go with Guillermo Moscoso (6-6, 3.48 ERA) as he tries to win his third straight start. Moscoso is 4-1 with a 3.15 ERA in seven home starts this year. The A’s have won four of their last five coming in. Moscoso is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 0.833 WHIP in his lone career starts against Toronto. He allowed just one earned run and five base runners in six innings to get the win in a 10-3 victory at Toronto on 8/11/2011. Take the A’s on the Money Line. -Black Widow
MLB Pick: San Diego Padres -131
San Diego has had Florida’s number. The Padres are a perfect 6-0 against the Marlins this season and these wins have come by an average of 5.5 runs. Looking back, the Padres have won 12 of the last 14 meetings, including 4 in a row at home in the series. Marlins are just 5-16 in their last 21 overall, and they are 0-3 in Sanchez’s 3 career starts against the Padres. The Marlins have lost 3 of his last 4 starts overall. San Diego, meanwhile, has won each of Luebke’s last 3 starts, during which he has posted an ERA of 2.00. We’ll take the Padres.
MLB Pick: Los Angeles Angels -146
The Angels Williams will be making his first start of the season on Sunday, and this is a tough spot for the Angels starter as every game is critically important to his club from this point on if they want to keep up with the Rangers in the AL West. Matusz has been getting shelled lately as the Orioles starter is 0-3 in his last three outings with an incredibly high ERA of 12.27 in those starts. Matusz is lasting an average of five innings, and giving up an average of 6.7 runs per outing over his last three starts. TAKE THE ANGELS MINUS -Bob Wingerter (Handicapperspicks.com)
