953 PHI Phillies  (-109) over WAS Nationals for game

• Davey Johnson has said the best record in the NL doesn't matter to him. I would bet he doesn't start any regulars against a Phillies team that is looking to also end on a high note after a terrible start and great finish to 2012.

958 MIA Marlins (-108) over NY Mets for game

• The Marlins are all playing for their jobs, including Manager Ozzie Guillen. If they can go for the sweep of the Mets and win, it could mean 40 less unemployed people in Miami...which likely won't make an economic difference.

967 TEX Rangers (Even) over OAK Athletics for game

• I told myself I wouldn't bet against the A's, and it worked the past two nights. But the Rangers are the veteran team and have so much to lose if they lose this game. I'm taking the Rangers.

952 PIT Pirates (-143) over ATL Braves for game 

• The Pirates are coming off back to back wins last night. The Pirates are looking to end their season on a high note, in which they blew up in the second half. A strong finish against a playoff team might be what they need to take the next step in 2013. The Braves now have nothing to play for and possibly rest their players for the game tonight.
