Public opinion: Bettors like slumping Tigers vs. Cubs

Detroit Tigers (+101) at Chicago Cubs (-107)

The little things continue to hurt the Detroit Tigers, who dropped five games below .500 after two key errors allowed the winning run to score in the opener of a three-game interleague series against the host Chicago Cubs. The Tigers will try to turn things around on Wednesday with Rick Porcello on the mound in an attempt to keep from slipping even farther back in the American League Central race.

Covers consensus says the Tigers bounce back and rough up Matt Garza. Over 69 percent like Detroit to snap its losing streak and down the Cubs.

Consensus: Tigers

Arizona Diamondbacks (+149) at Texas Rangers (-159) 

After having its five-game winning streak snapped in the series opener, Arizona looks to begin a new streak on Wednesday in the middle contest of the three-game set at Texas. The Diamondbacks will have to hope that Texas starter Matt Harrison is not as dominant as hurler Colby Lewis was in the opener. Lewis took a perfect game into the sixth inning en route to a complete-game four-hitter.

More than 65 percent of Covers consensus players say the Rangers take Game 2 of the series.

Consensus: Rangers

tigers make a ton of errors, and their hitting and pitching is erratic. there is a big reason they are 5 games under and thats because they aren't very good

Wow. Misread preview. Tigers are five games under .500, not on a 5-game losing streak. Thanks for picking up the error SuperflySnuka.

Play On: Philadelphia w/Hamels 

Note: The Phillies and Nationals put the wraps on a three-game set in the nation's capitol where Cole Hamels opposes Stephen Strasburg Sunday afternoon.  Hamels toes the slab knowing he is 12-2 his last fourteen team starts against the Nats and 12-3 his last fifteen teams away team starts during the month of May.

 On the other side of the coin Strasburg is struggling to regain last year's form and is just 4-7 in his last eleven home team starts, including 0-3 the last three. He is also just 2-4 in day start this season.  Grab Hamels at this attractive price here today.  We recommend a 1-unit play on Philadelphia.  Thank you and good luck as always. 

Wow.  Marc's database has uncovered a powerful winning angle inside Sunday's Heat/Pacers game that has NEVER LOST the money in Game Three of an NBA playoff game since 1990.  Best of all it's yours - if you act now!
