You can create your own filter that *labels* those emails, but your filter cannot automatically make them go into Spam. Set the filter to both label the message (something "like ProbableSpam") and Archive it, which takes it out of the Inbox, which I think is what you really want to happen. Then periodically check what's in that label and mark the ones that are spam. Is it possible that you have a filter that has been keeping those messages from going into Spam? Gmail's spam filters are usually (not always) pretty good about recognizing patterns even when the wording is not the same. It's also possible the sender's address is in your Contacts, which has been keeping them from going to Spam.
