Boy was the finish to that Giants game an enormous kick in the nuts. Especially if you stayed up into the 14th inning to catch the end. But when you walk Adam Eaton with the bases loaded you don't really deserve to win a game, do you? Too bad, because that turned what would have been a tremendous night for the Locks into just a very good one. Oh well, nobody is perfect. Yet, we'll aim for perfection again this evening on another fun Two-For-Tuesday.
Unpickable Master Locks:
Chicago @ Boston - This game itself could be one of our Locks of the Year. That is as long as you are just betting the BoSox to win. However, at a -310 moneyline, we can't make money on that unless we are betting our monthly salary. Instead, we'll shorten the odds and take on a bit of added risk by laying 1.5 runs. That shouldn't be too much of an issue, especially considering John Lester is matching up against Fragile Freddy Garcia. The Beantown Buttnuts are back to throwing up runs in bunches so this game all boils down to Lester. He hasn't been great this year but he's great when he needs to be. With the Wild Card shaping up to be a dog fight, he'll need to be great tonight. We're betting on it. Take the Sox, the ones in Red, minus 1.5 runs (-145) to win 9-2. LOCK IT UP
New York @ Florida - Who is left to put on a Pets uniform these days. Francoeur is trying to play through a thunb injury and now Johan is going under the knife. This has been a truly epic season from the Queens of Queens. The Marlins on the other hand are hanging in the playoff race and playing some really inspired baseball. Hanley Ramirez doesn't get as much press as Fat Albert but he is far off from his talent level. If the Fish make the playoffs then Hanley should get more than a fleeting look as NL MVP. The Locks thinks he only strengthen his case tonight againts spot starter Nelson Figueroa. This game is means too much for the Marlins and absolutely nothing for the Pets. It shouldn't be close. Take Florida minus 1.5 runs (-105) to 7-3. LOCK IT UP
Houston @ St. Louis - We're back to leaning on a UML favorite, the St. Louis Cardinals. Locks favorite Adam Wainright takes the hill against the Stros but faces the very good Wandy Rodriguez. With Magic Wandy starting, we're surprised the line here is so large (-175). However, we're into the part of the season where lines continue to grow and value is hard to come by. Alas, we will still show you how to earn supplemental income. The Cards got humbled in Houston a few weeks back as they suffered a sweep at the hands of the Stros. Don't think for a second that Fat Albert and the boys don't remember that. They'll be looking for revenge as well as padding their divsion lead. Insider tip: Matt Holliday loves hitting against Rodriguez. He has the chance to come up with more than one big hit in this one. The Astros do have some guys that hit Wainright historically but we think Adam is rolling right now. Past numbers won't matter here. We'll complete the hat trick of giving runs by suggesting you take St. Louie minus 1.5 runs (+125) to beat Houston 5-2. LOCK IT UP
TWO-FOR-TUESDAY:
Cleveland @ Kansas City - We disregarded our own rule of betting against the Royals when Greinke starts his last time out and it cost us. We're not making that mistake again. The Zack Attack has lost considerable steam since May yet he still gets plenty of moneyline respect. The Indians are starting to play well, especially offensively (too bad they waited until late August to do so). The Injins have guys who kill Greinke (see Sizemore, Cabrera, Choo, etc.). On the other side of the field, Justin Masterson looks to build upon a really nice start his last time out. The Royals should allow that to happen. Don't expect a shutout, but we think a W is in the cards. Based on Greinke's participation, the O/U in this game is way too low as well (8 runs). We think runs are relatively easy to come by in this one. You're two-for-Tuesday play is the Indians (+136) and Over 8 runs (-115). LOCK IT UP
Remaining Games:
Pirates plus 1.5 runs (-105)
Braves minus 1.5 runs (-125)
Brewers (-140)
Cubs minus 1.5 runs (-115)
Rockies (EVEN)
Diamondbacks (EVEN)
Yankees (-210)
Rays (-140)
Orioles (+142)
