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)

Pick: St. Louis Cardinals -121
I’ll back the St. LouiS Cardinals Wednesday showing solid value as a small road favorite over the Baltimore Orioles. They have the clear edge on the mound with Ace Chris Carpenter over fill-in starter Chris Jakubauskas. Carpenter sports a 4.26 ERA and 1.353 WHIP on the season, while Jakubauskas has posted a 5.18 ERA and 1.636 WHIP on the year. St. Louis has played their best baseball away from home this season. The Cardinals are hitting .277 and scoring 5.3 RPG on the road in 2011. Baltimore is 1-8 in home games after scoring 2 runs or less this season. The Cardinals are 9-2 in their last 11 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter. St. Louis is 38-15 in Carpenter’s last 53 starts with 5 days of rest. The Orioles are 8-22 in their last 30 vs. a team with a winning record. Roll with St. Louis Wednesday. -Jack Jones

Pick: Minnesota Twins -136
Minnesota is 47-16 last 3 years as a home favorite of -125 to -150. Rubby De La Rosa has a 6.10 ERA in all starts this year and is 1-2 with a 7.47 ERA his last 3 starts. Scott Baker is 5-5 with a 3.39 ERA overall this year, 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA at home this season and 2-1 with a 1.90 ERA his last 3 starts. Dodgers are 13-40 in their last 53 interleague road games. Dodgers are 11-41 in their last 52 interleague games as an underdog. Twins are 41-16 in their last 57 interleague games as a favorite. We’ll recommend a small play on Minnesota today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Atkinson

Pick: Texas Rangers -138
The defending AL champs have owned their in-state interleague rivals. Going back to 2009, the Rangers are 13-3 against the Astros, including a perfect 7-0 in Houston. The Astros are just 16-35 in their last 51 overall and 6-20 in their last 26 home games. The Stros will have a tough time putting an end to these woes with Brett Myers stepping to the mound. He’s carrying an ERA of 5.56 at home this season and the Astros are 0-6 in his last 6 home starts. The Rangers are in better hands with Colby Lewis, who is carrying an ERA of 3.19 through eight road starts. We’ll take the Rangers. -Jimmy Boyd (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Minnesota Twins +158
A great price on a team that just won 15 of 17 games, including 7-1 on the road. The Twins go with lefty Brian Duensing, who has a 2.81 ERA his last three starts and the Giants have never seen him. And he faces a poor San Francisco offense, one that is 30th in runs scored and 27th in on-base percentage. Ace Tim Lincecum (5-6) goes here, but is not throwing well, with a 7.80 ERA his last three starts. Control has been a problem, walking 12 his last 15 innings and he’s lost two in a row allowing 10 runs in 10 innings. Play the Twins. -Jim Feist

Pick: Seattle Mariners -116
We look for the Mariners to avoid the sweep behind young ace Michael Pineda, who is 7-4 with a 2.64 ERA in his rookie season. Pineda should be even better than what we have grown accustomed to so far this season, as he basically gets a free out with the pitcher in the lineup. Another reason to back the Mariners today is they haven’t lost more than two games in a row in well over a month. -Info Plays

Pick: Diamondbacks vs. Royals Under 8.5
Arizona starter Daniel Hudson is sizzlin’. He’s 8-1 with a 2.82 ERA over his last 11 starts and 5-0 with a 2.70 ERA in his last 7 starts. Hudson’s nasty stuff has made him an unders machine. The under is 15-5 in his last 20 starts overall and 10-4 in his last 14 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5. Kansas City starter Felipe Paulino is carrying an ERA of 2.78 through 4 starts. His ERA is only 0.77 in 2 home starts this season – both unders. The Under is 5-1-1 in the Diamondbacks’ last 7 overall and 9-2 in their last 11 in the 3rd game of a series. The Under is 5-2-2 in the Royals’ last 9 home games and a perfect 7-0 in their last 7 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Take the Under tonight. -Jimmy Boyd (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Boston Red Sox -178
On Saturday the free Play is on the Boston Redsox. Game 956 at 7:10 eastern. Boston is on a major run having won 11 of their last 12. They have won 26 of 32 vs winning teams and 14 of 21 off 3 or more wins. They are averaging 7.4 runs the past week and over 8 runs in Inter league play. The Brewers are just 3-16 off back to back losses by 4 or more runs. The Pitching pits Lester vs Wolf which is an additional advantage for Boston. Look for the Redsox to take Game two. On Saturday I have 3 Big Inter league system Plays one is 100% Perfect the other cashes at 94%. I also have a 92% Power System Side. MLB Top play cashes with Seattle and Bases on a 17-6 run. Jump on and cash out on Saturday. For the free play take Boston. -Rob Vinciletti

Pick: Florida Marlins +129
The Marlins, whose 129 interleague wins are the most of any NL team, are worth a small wager at this price against a Tampa Bay club that has dropped six of its last 10 interleague home games. The Rays took the series opener but are only 3-11 in their last 14 games following a win. Plus, Florida’s Ricky Nolasco, who is 4-1 on the ML on the road this season, is due for a strong outing. The Marlins are 36-15 in Nolasco’s last 51 road starts and 7-2 in his last 9 starts as a road underdog. We’ll take the Marlins. -Dave Price

Pick: Minnesota Twins -137
Look for the Twins to continue their winning ways this evening against the struggling Padres. Minnesota has won 5 in a row and 12 of its last 14 while San Diego has dropped 6 of its last 7. Plus, Minnesota has performed much better than San Diego in interleague play. The Twins are 37-16 in their last 53 interleague home games and 38-15 in their last 53 interleague games as a favorite. The Padres are just 16-35 in their last 51 interleague games and 9-25 in their last 34 interleague games as an underdog. Baker and Stauffer are both having solid seasons but Baker gets the nod in this spot as the Twins are 35-16 in his last 51 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150. Plus, Minnesota is swinging the hotter sticks right now. Take the Twins. -Jimmy Boyd (Handicapperspicks.com)
