San Diego Padres (3-1) vs Los Angeles Dodgers ( 7-6)
The Padres may have won yesterday to break their losing streak but they are still struggling greatly this season. They are already 6 games back in the standing of the N.L. West standings and will need more than just fire in their bellies to overcome.
Philadelphia Phillies (6-6) vs Cincinnati Reds (5-7)
The Phillies should be encouraged by the fact that they got a solid pitching performance from Roy Halladay yesterday. After taking two of three against the Marlins they are at .500 but still looking way up at the Braves in the National League East standings.
Los Angeles Dodgers (5-3) vs San Diego Padres (2-6)
The offense has been much less impressive as they have are the 4th worst team in the Majors in runs scored so far, a real disappointment given they were supposed to have a revamped lineup and the seeming return to form of OF Carl Crawford.
New York Yankees (4-4) vs Cleveland Indians (3-5)
The forecasted demise of the New York Yankees might have been a little premature. After yesterday’s drubbing of Cleveland they are at .500 and if lefty Andy Pettite continues to turn back the clock they may have something to say all season long.
New York Mets (4-2) vs Philadelphia Phillies (2-4)
The Mets have taken advantage of their schedule to get off to a nice start.
They are just behind the Braves in the National League East standings and if they can get another series win in Philadelphia they will really be pleased with themselves.
Philadelphia Phillies (0-2) vs Atlanta Braves (2-0)
The Phillies have not gotten off to a good start and are looking to salvage a game in this opening series against division rival Atlanta. Starter Roy Halladay gave a confounding performance yesterday, racking up the strikeouts while giving up the long ball.

Joe D’Amico MLB Baseball Handicapping Tips
The five most recent World Series have lasted only 22 games combined — three sweeps and two that ended with Game 5.
In this year’s World Series, which opens today, the Yankees have been installed as a favorite of about 2-1 on the series line. Oddsmakers are asking bettors to lay a fairly steep price with New York against a Philadelphia team coming off an impressive showing in the National League Championship Series in which it handled the Dodgers as a small series underdog.

Bad beats: Bad defense and the bad Nats
Through Saturday, the Twins had committed the second fewest errors in all of baseball.
That’s what makes Wednesday’s loss in Milwaukee so tough to swallow.
Leading 3-2 with two outs in the eighth inning, emerging Twins ace Nick Blackburn (+$154 on the season) was cruising toward his second straight complete game, when J.J. Hardy blooped a harmless single into center field.

Ben Burns – Bad Beats
What in the world was in the Gatorade this week?
(Vodka goes best, by the way).
Pop-ups were causing havoc in New York and Tampa. Birds were doing the same in Cleveland. And in Chicago, Milton Bradley still doesn’t have a clue.
We’ll start at the backyard known as the new Yankee Stadium, where Gold Glove-second baseman Luis Castillo handed Mets’ backers an atrocious bad beat that may not be topped this season.

For example, in Tuesday’s Diamondbacks-Dodgers game, Arizona manager A.J. Hinch’s squad was in a bind.

The structure of odds… no point spread… and the nature of the game however, with the disproportionate emphasis on pitching, baseball must be treated in a different way.
