Pick: Twins vs. Royals Under 8.5
On Wednesday the Free MLB Totals system is on the Under in the Twins at Royals game. Rotation numbers 923/924 at 4:10 eastern. This game fits a nice totals system that plays to the under for home favorites of -140 or higher off a home favored win scoring 4 or less runs on 10+ hits, vs an opponent off a road dog loss scoring 2 or less runs on 4 or less hits with 4 or less men left on base. If the total is less than 10 this system cashes a shade over 80%. The Twins anemic offense is averaging just 2 runs per game the past week and they have gone under in 12 of the last 12 vs losing teams. The Royals have played under in 5 of the last 6 games. They have L. Hochevar going today and he has pitched under in 7 of his last 9 starts. He opposes Twins rookie Hendricks here today and Hendricks is another Solid, September, Minnesota call up this season. In his first start he went a solid 7 innings allowing just 3 runs. Look for this one to stay under tonight. On Wednesday the Lead plays are the MLB Parlay of the Month backed with 27-2 systems. Jump on and get on the giving end of Hump day. For the free play take the Under in the Twins at Royals game. -Rob Vinciletti

Pick: New York Mets -125
Washington is 18-38 last 3 years as a road underdog of +100 to +125. Washington is scoring only 3.9 runs per game overall this year and 3.8 runs per game on the road this season. Brad Peacock makes his 2nd appearance of the year and 1st start. He has pitched in one game so far and gave up four hits in a little over an inning of work, struck out none and walked one. His ERA sits at 6.75 on the season. Mike Pelfrey has been his best at home with a 3-3 record and a 3.87 ERA. We’ll recommend a small play on NY Mets tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Atkinson

Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -138
The D-backs are playing fantastic baseball right now, but I like LA ace Kershaw to get the better of them tonight. The Dodgers have won 12 of his last 15 starts, and he has given up 1 or no earned runs in 9 of those outings. The southpaw has been nearly unhittable at home, where he is 10-1 with an ERA of 1.80. The Dodgers have won each of his last 6 home starts and 5 of his last 6 starts vs. the Diamondbacks. Hudson is having a strong season for Arizona, but he has had some difficulties on the road, where he has posted an ERA of 3.95 and the D-backs have only won 8 of his 15 starts. We’ll bet the Dodgers. -Jimmy Boyd (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: Minnesota Twins +165
Minnesota sends Nick Blackburn to the mound where he is 7-6 with a 3.87 ERA overall this year, 5-3 in the road and 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA his last 3 starts. Minnesota is 16-8 overall vs Texas the past 3 years including winning 3 out of 4 so far this season. Blackburn has a 3.51 ERA overall vs Texas since 1997 while Holland has a 5.63 ERA overall vs Minnesota since 1997. We’ll recommend a small play on Minnesota tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Pick: Los Angeles Angels -121
The Halos have the edge on the mound with Haren, who will be very focused tonight following a rare poor start in his last outing. The Angels are 5-1 in Haren’s last 6 starts, 5-0 in his last 5 starts vs. the American League Central and 4-0 in his last 4 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Indians have lost 5 in a row at home and are just 3-7 in Carmona’s last 10 starts. The Indians are 6-18 in his last 24 starts vs. the American League West and 1-5 in his last 6 starts vs. the Angels. Take the Halos. -Dave Price

Pick: Chicago White Sox -135
Look for the red-hot Mark Buehrle to continue his dominance against the Tigers tonight. Buehrle is 4-1 (7-2 on the ML) with an ERA of 2.47 at home this season. The White Sox have won each of his last 5 starts and 11 of his last 13. He is 17-9 with an ERA of 3.20 in 31 career starts against Detroit, and the White Sox are 10-3 in Buehrle’s last 13 home starts vs. the Tigers. Take the Sox. -Jeff Alexander (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Tigers vs. Twins Over 8.5
Minnesota started Monday five games out of first place in the AL Central and will finish the week in that same spot if it can find a way to topple the Tigers on Sunday. That would be a good result for the Twins, who looked as though they might drop out of the race completely after losing the first two of each series to Cleveland and Detroit. But Baker came off the disabled list Saturday and turned in five scoreless innings, giving the Minnesota offense enough time to grab a four-run cushion. The 4-1 victory snapped the Twins’ 11-game losing streak to the rival Tigers. With only a week left until the trade deadline, teams are looking over Minnesota’s roster in anticipation of a sell-off. Michael Cuddyer’s name has been the most prominent, though the Twins are still hoping to get back into the race and make another run at the playoffs. Detroit used Minnesota’s two wins over Cleveland on Tuesday and Wednesday and its own victories over the Twins on Thursday and Friday to grab a 1 1/2-game lead in the AL Central – it’s biggest lead this season. The Tigers have another key series at the Chicago White Sox starting Monday before a seven-game homestand against AL West powers Anaheim and Texas. Detroit is hoping it can survive this stretch behind Justin Verlander and the suddenly resurgent Max Scherzer, each of whom earned wins in the current series. The problem is the rest of the rotation, with Brad Penny and Porcello inconsistent at best. The Tigers are in the market for a frontline starter and should be active this week in the trade market. TAKE THE OVER -Bob Wingerter

Pick: Cleveland Indians -118
Edwin Jackson takes the hill for the White Sox following a shutout in his last start at Detroit. That sets up a great play against situation as we like to fade non-elite starters that are coming off performances such as that. And the fact that it was on the road makes it even stronger. Jackson has a 5.12 ERA on the road through nine starts and that shutout was only his third quality start on the road this season. He has owned Cleveland throughout his career as he is 8-1 but sports a shoddy 1.42 WHIP in 12 career starts. Justin Masterson is also coming off a great start in his last outing as he limited the Twins to just four hits and no runs in 7.2 innings. The difference between playing against Jackson and playing on Masterson is that it was not a complete game shutout for the latter as well as him heading home for this one. Masterson has a 2.86 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 10 home starts, seven of which have been quality. He also has had success against the opposition as in eight career starts against Chicago, he has allowed one run seven times. 3* (918) Cleveland Indians -Matt Fargo (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Minnesota Twins -131
Twins -130 over Tigers- Detroit has moved into position to challenge Cleveland and they were 10-1 in their last 11 meetings against Minnesota. Unfortunately for them Brad Penny gets the start this afternoon and he is the Tigers weak link in their rotation. The Tigers have struggled of late as underdogs winning only 2 of their last nine and the Twins are 18-7 in their last 25 at home. Take MINNESOTA! -Chip Chirimbes

Pick: Chicago White Sox -102
The White Sox have an excellent chance to win the Central because of their pitching, which is precisely what I expect to carry them to victory today. Jackson enters with tons of confidence after tossing a complete game shutout against Detroit in his last start. It’s not as if he needed any added confidence against the Indians, a team he is 8-1 lifetime against with an ERA of 2.80. The White Sox are 9-3 in Jackson’s last 12 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Huff has only made 1 start for the Tribe this season, and I don’t expect it to go as well as the first. He has an 8.04 lifetime ERA in 3 starts against Chicago, and the Indians are just 1-6 in his last 7 starts. The White Sox have won 7 of the last 8 meetings in this series overall and 7 of the last 8 in Cleveland. We’ll take the Sox. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -105
Talk about hard luck, RHP Jeff Niemann (4-4, 3.94) of Tampa Bay throw between the white line this evening off an 8 inning, 2-hitter, while losing to 1-0 to the Red Sox in the Sunshine State. Prior to that loss the Rays had won 4 straight starts with Niemann. Life time Niemann is 3-0 (0.71) with a 0.55 WHIP. The Rays are 13 of 18 in the series and 5 of 7 in Kansas City. Kansas City counters with lefty Jeff Francis, but the club has lost 6 straight behind the veteran. I’ll take a ticket with Tampa Bay. -Brad Diamond (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays +135
5* graded play on the Toronto Blue Jays as they take on the New York Yankees set to start at 7:07 PM ET. My proprietary simulator and statistical database shows a high probability that Toronto will win this game. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a 29-12 mark making 25.4 units per one unit wagered since 1997. Play on home teams that are struggling hitting teams batting= 2.000 over his last three starts and now facing an excellent AL starting pitcher sporting an ERA

Pick: Royals vs. Twins Over 8
Whenever these two teams meet up, there is a good chance that they will go over the total. Over the last three seasons the OVER is 29-14 between these two clubs, and 15-4 in the L19 games played in Minnesota. The oddsmakers have once again set this total to low. For starters Minnesota will send Francisco Liriano to the mound, who continues to be overvalued after throwing a no-hitter earlier this year. Liriano is just 5-7 with a 5.06 ERA in 15 starts, and only 2-3 with a 6.99 ERA and 1.420 WHIP at home. The Royals will start Bruce Chen. He brings in a solid 5-2 record with a 3.26 ERA, but is just 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in four career starts against the Twins. The OVER is 6-0-1 in Royals last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The OVER is 8-2 in Twins last 10 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150, and 12-3-2 in Twins last 17 during game 1 of a series. -Steve Janus (Handicapperspicks.com)
