HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2008...

Los Angeles Angels meet at home tonight Atlanta Braves like a favorite.This will be first series between both teams since 2005 year and will be interesting who will win.Home advantage is a strong reason to take the Angels here which team is a better of both and also away from home the Braves are horriable this year 7-24 w/l by now.
The Angels listed good pitcher like Jon Garland who made good career at this team after transfer from CWS.After 13 starts he is 6-3 w/l and 3.87 ERA.This is first time when faced Atlanta.
In other side is young pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes who is 2-4 w/l by now this season and cant be so big problem for LAA offense tonight.
Take the Angels here...

Arizona Diamondbacks meet at home tonight Kansas City Royals like a favorite.The D'Backs are simple better team looking performance this year with 36-31 w/l by now,while the Royals are 26-41 w/l.
Kansas City win last night and this normal for me but was only with 1 run difference 6:5.Tonight they will faced Arizona for a first time since 2005 year.In these interleague games is a little tricky to bet,but for me Kansas City chances arent good and my eyes are for home win with difference here.
Arizona start with Doug Davis who is experienced pitcher and with home advantage will be valuable to start this series with win.
Kansas starter Zack Greinke looked in bad form last outings so cant be so hardle for Arizona offense tonight in my opinion.
Take D'Backs here to win...

New York Mets meet at home tonight Arizona Diamondbacks like a favorite.The Mets this season arent so good team with negative record of 31-33 w/l,but still to have chances to safe the year.Arizona looked little better with 35-31 w/l.This will be 6th game between these 2 teams where after last night win for the Mets 5:3 now they lead with 3-2 w/l this clash.
For me tonight NY Mets have a better chances with home advange and with best pitcher in MLB on the mound Johan Santana.After comming at the Mets Santana is 7-4 w/l and 3.08 ERA,but maybe he must be better.In his career against the D'backs the lefty is solid 2-0 w/l and 0.82 ERA.
In other side for Arizona is Dan Haren who is 6-4 w/l and 3.44 ERA this season.He is team ace,but for me will have hard game here.
I like Santana and NY here...

Kansas City Royals meet at home tonight Texas Rangers like a small favorite.This is the 6th game betweeb these 2 teams this season where the Royals continued lossing run against Texas to 4 in a row last night 5:11.Tonight my eyes are for revenge where Kansas will win with better pitcher.
They will start with Brian Bannister who isnt so good this year but like a team ace must to get win here for his team spirit.After 13 starts the righthander is 5-6 w/l and 4.98 ERA,while in his career against Texas he is 1-1 w/l after 2 starts.
In other side is absolutely rookie Eric Hurley who will try to start with good performance his career,but will be really hard.
Ill take KC here...

Minnesota Twins meet at home tonight like a small favorite Texas Rangers.The Twins will faced tonight for a 7th time this season where result is 3-3 w/l after last night win for the Rangers 10:1.
Tonight my choice is the Twins team.They are 12-5 w/l in their last 17 home games and will try to finish with win this series.Actually the Rangers played bad against the Twins 4-10 w/l in the last 14 meetings.
Minnesota starting pitcher is Liván Hernández who will try to get revenge for horriable lost 0:10 when he start this season against the Rangers.Actually this was little surprise because he was 3-0 w/l and 4.00 ERA against this opponent.The righthander is solid this season with 6-2 w/l and 3.88 ERA,so bet on him to get revenge here.
In other side is Vicente Padilla who was opponent on Hernandez for this 10:0 win for Texas team.Tonight my expectations are for hard game for the Rangers...

Houston Astros meet at home tonight Chicago Cubs like a small underdog.The Astros are in good form later with 13-5 w/l in their last 18 overall,but will faced other team in good form the Cubs with 9-3 in their last 12 overall.
This series also going unpredictable with 1-1 w/l by now,but my choice for this game3 is the Cubs squad.
The Cubs start tonight with freshman Sean Gallagher who made not bad season by now with 1-0 w/l record and 4.40 ERA.
In other side is Shawn Chacón who is really strange by now and after 9 starts he is 0-0 w/l.The righty in his career he looked bad 1-4 w/l and 6.69 ERA,so this will be really hard game for him.
Take the Cubs here...

Atlanta Braves meet at home tonight NY Mets like a favorite.This is interesting series where the Braves dominated by now with 2-0 w/l.This 3rd game maybe the Mets must to get win,but will be hard and im not sure if they can do it against this opponent against them are 18-39 w/l in the last 57 meetings in Atlanta.
The Mets are 2-6 w/l in Mike Pelfrey last 8 road starts who will start tonight for them.The righty is 2-4 w/l and 4.17 ERA this season showed not so good form.
In the Braves squad will be listed Jair Jurrjens like a starter who doing good job this season.He is with 4-3 w/l and 2.82 ERA.Starting for a first time in his career against the Mets he tosses well with 6:3 win.
Take home team here...

Houston Astros meet at home tonight Milwaukee Brewers like a underdog.The Astros leading this first series between both teams with 2-0 w/l after 7:4 and 6:2 wins.Tonight they are underdog against the Brewers because will faced best pitcher at Milwaukee squad.
Ben Sheets wasnt so solid last outing against the Cubs,but he still to be at the top by now.After 5 starts he is with 4-0 w/l and 1.64 ERA.He want to win this game against the Astros and for home team willl be hard to score here.
Chris Sampson tossed not bad against the Brewers,but this season he isnt good by now.Tonight against not so good offensively Milwaukee my expectations are for small scoring.
I like Under 9 runs here with these pitchers.Under is 7-2 in the Astros last 9 games overall,also Under is 11-5 in the Brewers last 16 games overall.

Boston Red Sox meet at home tonight Tampa Bay Rays like a favorite.The Red Sox meet this opponent for 6th time this season and after 3-2 w/l for the D-Rays this looked like a little surprisingly situation.Ofcourse this happen after 0-3 w/l series for Boston at Tampa where they was really disappointing.
Now at home the Red Sox are motivated for big revenge crushed Tampa Bay in every game.Tampa are 10-43 w/l in the last 53 meetings in Boston.
The Red Sox starter is Jon Lester who is good pitcher,but this season by now dont showed so good performing.In last game against Toronto he tossed solid backing very good form and rdy for this game with TB.He is 1-0 w/l against the D-Rays in his career.
The D-Rays are with his ace Scott Kazmir on the mound,but the lefty will start for a first time this season after backing from injury.
Take Boston at home...

San Francisco Giants meet at home tonight Colorado Rockies like a small favorite.After 3:2 win for the Rockies last night with his ace Aaron Cook on the mound this series goes to 1-1 w/l.Now the Giants are motivated to win series at home where played better actually.The Rockies are 2-8 w/l in their last 10 games overall.
Colorado listed Ubaldo Jimenez tonight,but the righthander isnt good this season by now.He posted 1-2 w/l record and 6.46 ERA,but his team actually lost 4 of 5 starts on this pitcher.After 1 start against SF he is with 0-1 w/l and 5.40 ERA record.
For the Giants will start Jonathan Sanchez who is better of his opponent tonight.The lefty posted 2-1 w/l record with 3.54 ERA.
Take SF at home to win this game...
