Pick: Seattle Mariners -110
On Friday the Free MLB Power system Play is on the Seattle Mariners. Game 919 at 7;10 eastern. Seattle fits a tight system that plays on road favorites off a home favored loss by 2 or more runs, if they scored 4 or less runs and had 5 or more men left on base, vs an opponent off a road win and scored 4 or less runs with 5 or more men left on base. Hard to believe Seattle is the 6th best play on the board for me tonight. However they do have F. Hernandez going and he is 7-1 with a 2.29 era vs the Rays. He has better road numbers than Tampa Starter W. Davis does at home. Davis has been mediocre in starts vs Seattle and has a 4.82 era against them. The Rays have lost 6 of 9 after a day off. Look for Seattle to take game one of the series. On Friday the deepest card this season has 5 big plays. The Lead play is a rare 14-0 MLB System play. There are 2 more perfect system MLB plays and 2 NFLX System plays that are cashing over 90% Since 1990. Thursday card swept the board going 3-0. For the free play take Seattle. -Rob Vinciletti

Pick: Cincinnati Reds -133
With the crowd at 58 percent regular season capacity for such a big game it’s obvious the Pirates fan base have given up on their team and for good reason with Pittsburgh flopping 19 of 24 times from July 20-Aug. 14. After winning back-to-back games against Cincinnati 2-0 and 1-0 the Pirates have been sinking in the National League standings. Pittsburgh dropped a series finale to the Reds 3-1 and like the problem has been all season it’s been hitting. The Pirates are a mediocre 27th in Runs, 26th in Batting Average, 26th in On Base Percentage and 28th in Slugging Percentage so no wonder the fans aren’t expecting Pittsburgh to turn around their disappointing start to the second-half. TAKE CINCINNATI MINUS -Bob Wingerter

Pick: Detroit Tigers -140
Play on Detroit at 7:05 ET. Home field advantage plays a big role when these teams play as Cleveland is 13-1 at home facing the Tigers, but 4-17 in Detroit. The Tigers had yesterday off while the Indians did not. Max Scherzer has a 6-1 TSR this season when working on five or six days rest. He is in great form with a 130-45 KW ratio for the season, including 16-2 L3 starts. Cleveland’s Josh Tomlin has a 4.88 ERA on the road where the team has lost his last three starts. 10* on Detroit. -Tom Freese (Handicapperspicks.com)

The Mariners fit a nice system that plays on home dogs off a home dog loss and scored 2 or less runs vs an opponent off a home favored win and scored 5 or more runs.

Pick: Boston Red Sox -1.5 +111
The Indians, losers of 8 of their last 10, are fading fast. Meanwhile, Boston continues to surge. Lackey is pitching his best ball of the season. The Red Sox have won each of his last 4 starts, with all 4 of those wins coming by at least 3 runs, during which he hasn’t allowed more than 3 earned runs in any game. Also, Boston is 19-5 after a win by 2 runs or less this season, winning by an average score of 7.5 to 4.8 in this spot. Bet Boston on the run line. -Dave Price

Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -123
The 60-49 Milwaukee Brewers are out to prove they are the best in the National League Central. After sweeping the 35-73 Houston Astros and toppling the 43-65 Chicago Cubs during three-game sets at home, the steamrolling Brewers welcome the 57-51 St. Louis Cardinals into Miller Park on Monday in an important NL Central series. On the road Carpenter has been shaky at best. The Cubs, 59-49 Arizona Diamondbacks, 53-55 Cincinnati Reds and 54-52 Pittsburgh Pirates have rang his bell for at least four runs during away starts. Also piling in runs against Carpenter like an auto wreck on the road has been the Brewers who poured in five runs during six innings of a 5-3 Milwaukee win on June 11. Before being battered by the Brewers, he was busted up in away games by six teams for 29 runs, 27 earned, during 38.2 innings. TAKE MILWAUKEE MINUS -Bob Wingerter (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Cleveland Indians -121
The Cleveland Indians get the call Sunday as a small home favorite over the Kansas City Royals. Cleveland sends Fausto Carmona to the mound, who is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and 1.143 WHIP in his last three starts. Carmona has allowed just two earned runs and 16 base runners in 14 innings during this stretch. In his last two starts against Kansas City, Carmona has given up just 4 earned runs in 12 innings for a 3.00 ERA. I’ll fade Danny Duffy of the Royals, who is 2-4 with a 5.17 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 12 starts this season. The Royals are 0-6 in Duffy’s last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Indians are 22-8 in their last 30 games as a home favorite, including 5-0 in Carmona’s last 5 starts as a home fave. Cleveland is 7-1 in their last 8 home meetings with Kansas City. Roll with the Indians Sunday. -Jack Jones

Pick: Boston Red Sox +107
The Red Sox may be throwing cold pitcher in Andrew Miller, but they have more than enough offense to make up for it. Boston is one of the few teams in the American League to post a winning record on the road this season. The reason they’ve had so much success is their offense, which can stay with any team in the league, almost regardless of who is pitching. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Seattle Mariners +110
I’ll take my chances on Seattle with Vargas on the mound for the Mariners. He’s been rock-solid at home this season, posting a 3.78 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 12 starts at Seattle. The Mariners don’t typically score a lot of runs, but neither do their opponents when they play in Seattle. This season their opponents are averaging just 3.6 runs per game. -Jeff Alexander (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: St. Louis Cardinals -145
Off last night’s rain-delayed 11-4 beating in the Windy City, St. Louis will bounce back nicely on Thursday afternoon with southpaw Jamie Garcia on the mound. With seven starts in the bank this season, Garcia has been one of the Cardinals best arms allowing just 10 earned runs and 33 hits in 45.1 innings of work. That shakes down to a solid 4-0 record and a respectable 1.99 ERA! Jamie’s efforts in daytime action are noteworthy too. With the sun shining, No. 54 has been nicked for only three earned runs and nine hits through 15.0 frames. Chicago will counter with young righty Casey Coleman. With five games completed, Coleman has struggled allowing 17 earned runs and 27 hits in just 24.1 innings. That adds up to a soft 1-2 record and an elevated 6.29 ERA! In his lone start inside the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, Casey was cracked by the Dodgers for six earned runs and six hits in only 2.2 frames. There are a few solid angles that support this investment too. Coming off a victory, the Cubbies have dropped 10 of their last 12 and, in the third game of a series, Chicago has slipped in 24 of their last 33. Meanwhile, the Redbirds have closed well cashing 12 of their last 15 in the third game of a series. In his last start against Milwaukee, Garcia brought a “no-no” into the eighth inning and went the distance in a two-hit, eight strikeout performance against the Brew Crew. Jamie will enjoy another solid outing here. Take St. Louis with Garcia. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.

Pick: Mariners vs. Orioles Under 7.5
On Thursday the MLB Totals Play is on the Under in the Seattle at Baltimore game. Rotation numbers 913/914 at 7:05 eastern. Free play cashes nice dog winner last night now on a 7-1 run. In this one we have a pair of light hitting teams matching up with some decent Pitcher stats. Seattle is hitting .222 and averaging just 2.6 runs per game vs Leftys. Baltimore is averaging 3 runs per game on .201 hitting vs leftys. The Mariners have J .Vargas going tonight. He has a nice 3.29 road era and has pitched under in every start he has made vs Baltimore with a 2.35 era vs Them. Baltimore has Z. Britton going tonight and he has a solid 2.02 home era going under in 2 of his 3 early starts here. Look for these two to play a low scoring game, resulting in an under here tonight. On Thursday I have a never lost MLB System a Solid NBA Game 6 scoring system and the NHL game 7 Historical Angle Winner For the free Play take Under the total Seattle at Baltimore. -Rob Vinciletti (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Chicago Cubs +105
The Cubs have won 6 of Zambrano’s 7 starts this season and 14 of his last 17 starts dating back to last season. Big Z is in great current form with a 1.93 ERA in his latest two outings and has gone 11-1 with a 2.47 ERA in his last 15 starts. And nobody has killed the Cards like the big fella. He is 10-2 with a 3.79 ERA in his last 16 starts versus St. Louis, with the Cubs going 14-2 in those games. Plus, the Cubs are a perfect 5-0 in the last 5 meetings when Zambrano faces Carpenter. The Cards are 1-6 in Carpenters 7 starts this season and 1-7 in his last 8 road starts. St. Louis is 0-6 when Carpenter gets the ball as a favorite of -110 or higher this season. It’s losing these games by an average score of 6.0 to 3.8. Take the Cubs. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Seattle Mariners -104
A battle of last place teams, but the home team is the one that is struggling more. Seattle has been playing well since April 26 when they won 5 in a row. Michael Pineda (2.58 ERA) is a young ace, an electric arm strikeout out 39 in 38 innings. Seattle has a better road record than Baltimore has at home. Mariners are 5-0 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series, while the Orioles 2-5 in their last 7 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Play the Mariners! -Jim Feist
