Baltimore +160 over NY Mets -170
Analysis: RA Dickey is taking the hill coming off a no-hitter (thanks David Wright!) against TB and looks to capture his 6th consecutive win. Dickey (10-1, 2.20 ERA) continues to baffle opponents. The veteran knuckleballer is 8-0 in his last 10 outings and has won five consecutive starts while compiling a remarkable 0.23 ERA -- a stretch during which he's struck out 50 and walked just three over 39 2/3 innings. On the other side The Orioles have won seven of eight to improve to 9-3 in interleague play. Arrieta has been a turd all year but did have a great game his last time out and now looks like a value gem against the offensively cold Mets. My personal feel is that Arrieta throws a second consecutive quality start while Dickey doesn't get much run support -- and this guy is way overdue to get roughed up a bit, this is a perfect storm type of play.
SCORE: BAL 3, METS 1

SF GIANTS -110 over LA ANGELS -110
Analysis: Cain (8-2, 2.18 ERA) looks to help San Francisco get back on track after striking out 14 Wednesday -- tied with Sandy Koufax for the most in a perfect game. He's won his last seven starts while posting a 1.99 ERA and hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 20 innings. It's been nearly six years to the day since Cain's lone look at the Angels (36-31), but that start went awfully well also. He held Los Angeles to one hit and an unearned run in eight innings June 19, 2006, striking out 10. On the other side Los Angeles has won seven of nine, but it's scored no more than two runs while going 3-2 in its last five. Williams gave up one run through seven innings Tuesday but surrendered four in the eighth -- including a three-run, two-out homer that earned him the hook -- of a 5-2 loss to the Dodgers. He's given up 12 runs in his last two outings after going 3-1 with a 2.96 ERA in his previous four.
SCORE: SF 4, LAA 2
