The Tampa Bay Rays started their turnaround 2008 campaign with a trade – they sent outfielder Delmon Young and infielder Brendan Harris to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for shortstop Jason Bartlett and starting pitcher Matt Garza. Bartlett has had a solid season, but it’s Garza who has paid off the most for all those doing MLB betting.
Philadelphia and Chicago are favored as the MLB Playoffs kickoff with two early games on Wednesday.

John Martin
Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers
Martin’s Friday Free Play: 1 Unit on Texas Rangers -118 (Listing Harrison)
Matt Harrison has been a great addition to the Rangers staff with a 5-2 mark as a starter this season. Harrison is only getting better the more innings he throws, going 3-0 with a 3.72 ERA through his last three starts. Harrison and the Rangers are a solid bet as my free play at home today against Fausto Carmona and the Cleveland Indians. Carmona is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA through his last three starts. Carmona has already faced the Rangers once this season, yielding 6 earned runs before getting relieved of his duties after 2 innings of work. Cleveland is 11-28 as a road underdog of +100 or higher this season. Texas is 61-30 in home games vs. an AL team with a batting average of .260 or worse in the second half of the season since 1997. Harrison over Carmona tonight.
Cash in with Texas as the favorite.

The Boston Red Sox will debut the newest member of their starting rotation when they play host to the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup . . .
Event of the day . . .
An injury to Tim Wakefield left a hole in Boston’s rotation – and they’re hoping that Paul Byrd can plug it through the end of the season. The righthander was picked up from the Indians in a deal on Tuesday afternoon, and he’s going to take Clay Buchholz’s start at Fenway Park on Friday. Buchholz, though, will probably remain in the rotation, since the team’s Charlie Zink experiment didn’t turn out well in that slugfest on Tuesday night.
Byrd (7-10, 4.53 ERA) had earned the victory in each of his last four starts as a member of the Indians, giving up just four earned runs over 29 innings of work in that span. As well, Byrd’s last outing actually came against Toronto on August 9, and he surrendered only two earned runs on six hits over a full nine innings in that game. Byrd hasn’t given up a home run since July 4 in a loss to the Twins.

With outfielder Adam Dunn now on the roster the Diamondbacks will be looking to pull away from the rival Dodgers in the NL West race. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup . . .
Event of the day . . .
Dunn and the Diamondbacks will continue their series in Colorado against the Rockies on Wednesday night. Arizona countered the Dodgers’ acquisition of Manny Ramirez by dealing for the slugging Reds outfielder on Monday afternoon, in exchange for minor league pitcher Dallas Buck and a pair of players to be named later. Dunn has had trouble with his batting average this year, but he’s still able to blast home runs.
And Doug Davis (4-7, 4.75 ERA) will be looking to Dunn to provide him some offense on Wednesday night, as he takes the mound for Arizona. The lefthander has been terrible in each of his last two outings, giving up a combined 12 earned runs on 15 hits in just six innings of work. The Diamondbacks are 3-7 in Davis’ last 10 trips to the mound.
Jeff Francis (3-8, 5.81 ERA) hasn’t been any better, as the Rockies are 3-7 in his last 10 starts as well. The lefthander was knocked around in his return from the disabled list on August 7, giving up five earned runs on eight hits over 5 1-3 innings versus the light-hitting Nationals. Unless one or both of those starting pitchers show some progress on Wednesday night Dunn and the rest of the hitters could have a field day.
Non-event of the day . . .
Dunn’s old team remains mired in last place in the NL Central standings, and they’ll take on their closest cellar competitor on Wednesday. Cincinnati will send Josh Fogg (2-4, 7.98 ERA) to the mound in that contest, and he’ll be countered by Pittsburgh’s Paul Maholm (7-7, 3.76 ERA). Fogg might not last much longer in the Reds’ rotation, as the team is 0-3 in his last three outings (in which he allowed a healthy 16 runs).

Ryan Dempster gave the Cubs a quality start while Ronny Cedeno and Mark DeRosa knocked in a pair of runs each to help Chicago top St. Louis, 6-2, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
The Cubs extended their advantage over the Cardinals in the NL Central to seven games.
St. Louis is now three games off Milwaukee’s pace in the NL wild card standings.
Game Notes
Chicago leads the 2008 season series 5-4 and was 11-5 against the Cardinals last season… The Cubs are off Monday before heading to Atlanta for a three- game series starting Tuesday, while St. Louis opens a four-game set in Miami Monday with the Marlins

Cleveland Indians vs. Toronto Blue Jays
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Cleveland Indians -135 (listing Lee) Cleveland goes for the road sweep today behind the 15-2 Cliff Lee and I like them to get it. The Indians are a dominant 22-7 in the last 29 meetings in this series, 10-3 in Lee’s last 13 road starts, 4-0 in Lee’s last 4 starts with 5 days of rest, and 23-9 in Lee’s last 32 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. The Blue Jays won’t be able to hold down the Tribe behind inexperienced starter Scott Richmond.
