MLB Tipping Sheet: Flying Phillies to keep good run going

"A win over New York would be Philadelphia's fifth in a row, and I have a sneaky suspicion that they might become a serious contender through October."

Back Philadelphia @ 1.728/11

The MLB season keeps on trucking so Federico Farcomeni previews another three matches ahead of tonight's action

New York Mets @ Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies could miss the post-season for the first time in six years, but they have been on a hot streak of late. A win here would be their fifth in a row, and I have a sneaky suspicion that they might become a serious contender through October. The momentum is there - they have won seven out of their last nine, including a sweep of the Nationals who sit 16.5 games above them, over the weekend. As Cliff Lee put it: "Stranger things have happened. We've only recently started to play the way we should have. It's not a surprise to us." On the other side, the Mets have just beaten baseball's worst, Houston, and have possibly lowered their game before this important match-up.

San Francisco Giants @ Houston Astros
With all the attention concentrating on LA Dodgers, the Giants have responded well. The last week of the regular season, when they come face-to-face with their rivals, will be decisive. But for now the 2010 World Champions should just make the most of their six games series on the road against baseball's worst (Houston and Cubs). Matt Cain (13-5, 2.83 ERA) might have gone 0-2 with a 7.27 ERA in three starts at Minute Maid Park, but he's 2-0 with a 0.59 ERA in two outings against the Astros in 2012, including a perfect game in June in which he struck out a career-high 14 in a 10-0 win. Sweet memories and the gap in skill and motivation should provide the Giants with that extra boost they need to overshadow the Dodgers in the NL West. On the other side, the Astros seem incapable of scoring against such strong opposition, having touched the home plate just 34 times during a 2-11 stretch.

Cincinnati Reds @ Arizona Diamondbacks
It's Johnny Cueto (16-6, 2.47 ERA) versus Wade Miley (14-8, 2.80) at Chase Field. Two of the best pitchers in baseball go head-to-head in what is expected to be a dramatic encounter. The pitching statistics here are just too good to believe this game can provide the audience with more than 8.5 runs.

Recommended Bets
Back Philadelphia @ 1.728/11
Back San Francisco to overcome the 1.5 run handicap @ 1.794/5
Back Under 8.5 runs @ 1.68/13 in Cincinnati at Arizona

Timeform Radio Racing Tips: Back flying Circus at Ayr?

Timeform Radio Tip / Andrew Sheret / 10 March 2012 / Leave a Comment

Andrew is backing Circus Clown at Ayr

"Circus Clown (16.35 Ayr) has the odd quirk but he has a fine record when the mud is flying... "

Timeform Radio pundit Andrew Sheret discusses the chances of two runners that have a lot going for them...

Tarooq (15.30 Wolverhampton) has enjoyed a profitable winter and may be able to cap it off by landing this valuable prize this afternoon. This strong traveller is ideally suited by the demands of contests such as this and Paul Hanagan should have little difficulty getting a good position from a handy pitch in stall five.

Circus Clown (16.35 Ayr) has the odd quirk but he has a fine record when the mud is flying and will find conditions this afternoon very much to his liking. Good claimer Henry Brooke takes a handy 3 lb off and Jim Goldie's charge looks to have plenty going for him.
