MLB | May 20, 2013 Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago White Sox |
Chicago White Sox +1½-120 at SIA |
Won $100 |
|
I'm playing CHICAGO on the Run-Line. (+1.5 Runs.) With the Red Sox favored on the money-line, we're able to get a very fair price on the Chisox on the run-line. Admittedly, Lester has been tough this season. However, he's only 4-4 with a 5.20 ERA in nine starts vs. Chicago. He got rocked for six runs in four innings the last time he faced the Sox. Including that 7-5 loss, the Red Sox are only 2-3 his last five starts in the series - and one of those wins came by a single run. In other words, they'd be 1-4 in Lester's last five starts vs. Chicago, if laying -1.5 runs in each of those games. Axelrod is 1-3 in four home starts. However, he has a solid 3.42 ERA in those four games along with a very good 0.972 WHIP. One of the losses came by a 3-2 score. Overall, Axelrod has allowed three or fewer earned runs in five of his last six starts and eight of his last 10. In his lone start vs. Boston he allowed only one run in 6 2/3 innings (1.35 ERA) striking out eight and walking none. While the Red Sox have won five straight, two of those came by one run. Meanwhile, even with a couple of losses to close out their series at LA, the White Sox have still won four of six. I expect at least a "cover" here. 9* |

MLB | May 20, 2013 St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Diego Padres |
San Diego Padres +1½-120 at 5DIMES |
Won $100 |
|
I'm playing SAN DIEGO on the Run-Line. (+1.5 Runs.) With the Cardinals favored on the money-line, we're able to get a very fair price on the Padres on the run-line. I won with the Padres yesterday and noted that they've quietly been very good at home lately. In fact, they're now 11-3 their last 14 here. One of those losses came by a single run too. So, they'd be 12-2 their last 14 here, if getting +1.5 runs in each. Admittedly, Miller has been very tough for the Cards. However, he's still a rookie and admitted that he didn't have his best stuff last time out. Note that the Padres saw him (in relief) last season and had some success against him. Marquis has also been very solid for the Padres. Through eight starts, he's 5-2 with a 3.49 ERA. Over his last three starts, he's 3-0 with a 2.37 ERA. Going back a little further finds the Padres at 12-6 the last 18 times that Marquis started, two of those losses coming by one run. So, they'd be 14-4 his last 18 starts, if getting +1.5 runs in each. Marquis hasn't faced them for a few seasons but is 5-2 against the Cards. The Padres are swinging the bats well and playing with confidence. I feel that they've got an excellent shot at earning AT LEAST another "cover." 9* |

MLB | May 20, 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers |
Milwaukee Brewers +1½-140 at SIA |
Lost $140.0 |
|
I'm playing MILWAUKEE on the Run-Line. (+1.5 Runs.) With the Dodgers favored on the money-line, we're able to get a very fair price on the Brewers on the run-line. These teams have identical 17-25 records. However, a closer look reveals that the Brewers' home record (11-12) is actually far better than the Dodgers' 6-12 mark away from LA. Looking even more closely and we find that the Dodgers have dropped six straight on the road and that their most recent road win came by a single run. In fact, three of their six overall road victories have come by only one run. In other words, they'd be a awful 3-15 on the road this season, if being asked to lay -1.5 runs in each of those games. True, Kershaw is an elite starter. However, he's 0-1 on the road and the Dodgers are only 1-2 in his road starts. The Dodgers are just 2-3 his last five against Milwaukee. Gallardo is off a quality start, allowing two runs in six innings. The Brewers are 3-0 his last three starts against the Dodgers, Gallardo recording 24 K's (5 walks) in 21 innings. The most recent of those was a 6-3 win against Kershaw. Overall, the Brewers are 14-6 the last 20 times that Gallardo started at home Four of those six losses came by a single run. That means that they'd be 18-2 his last 20 home starts, if they'd been getting +1.5 runs. Those numbers sound pretty good to me. 8* |

SERVICE BIO |

| Ben Burns burst onto the sports betting scene in the 1990s, first making his selections available to the public in 1998. Now entering his tenth year, Ben has become one of the most successful and well-respected handicappers on the entire Internet. From 1998 to 2006, Ben had his selections documented by the Big Guy Sports Monitor. During that time, he accumulated numerous seasonal titles in all the major sports. In fact, competing against a field of 150, Ben's NFL selections still rank as #1 of all-time there. With such a commanding lead over the field, it is highly unlikely that his all-time NFL record there will ever be matched. Like all handicappers, Ben goes through both hot and cold streaks. However, whether winning or losing, he always "tells it like it is." Perhaps more importantly, as his many fans are quick to point out, Ben's winning weeks tend to greatly outnumber his losing ones. Note that Ben followed up an extremely strong 2006 with an even better campaign in 2007! Ben is known as a "Totals Expert" and his over/under plays are highly sought after in all sports. In addition to his "total" success, Ben's "sides" are also known for their sizzling hot streaks. While he advocates playing all his selections equally, Ben's knack for nailing his "Big" plays is truly remarkable. Ben capped off a highly successful college football season by winning his Bowl Game of the Year, a 41-10 wire-to-wire destruction on Georgia over Hawaii. Ben's NFL playoffs didn't go as well though and he lost his first ever Super Bowl selection, when the Patriots were upset by the Giants. Despite that rare setback, Ben's Super Bowl record remains at 10-1 for his career. Additionally, his NFL playoff picks remain a powerful 47-22 (68%) ATS the past six years. Ben isn't just a football expert though, as his hockey, baseball AND basketball picks are also highly respected. Ben logs extremely long hours. His hard work clearly shows itself in his high quality writeups and extraordinary long-term records. If you're looking for an honest, hard-working handicapper with a documented history of success, give Ben Burns a try. We're sure that you'll be impressed! |
