First Half 362-437 (-79.58 units)
Second Half 125-109 (+51.11 units)
MLB Total 487-546 (-28.47 units)

Pirates +129

Braves slumping. Don't think the losses will hurt much for Pittsburgh, and I think Snell can battle it out with just about anyone. He's impressed.

Tribe -110

Jason Johnson is back in the bigs? I'm just looking for the Tribe closer(s) to NOT blow it tonight....and a little more from CC than I got from Byrd too.

Tampon Bay +200

Verlander is tough, and while I do think Detroit should be favored in this one, I think this line is way too high. Detroit continues to not hit lefties well. Fossum is not the world's greatest pitcher by a long shot, and he had something like 10 K's last night and held Detroit down to 1 run till the closer(s) for TB started trying to blow it. This line is really high and worth a shot IMO, all things considered.

O's +101

Moyer has stunk it up lately. Lopez normally has more success at home. Baltimore's lack of success against lefties is not as much of a concern for me when I consider how poor Moyer has been in his last few starts, and I'll definitely try the home team here at about even odds.

Phils +139

Suppan stinks, and the Cards just got broomed by the FLUBS. I don't think the Cards are as great as their lines indicate....and the Phils offense has been on fire. I certainly think the Phils have a good shot here.

KC +155

Lets see what Odalis Perez has got in his new pretty blue KC uniform....but he has nothing to do with my play. I will keep fading Mark Buehrle as long as he's drawing lines like this, or he stops sucking. He's been absolutely horrible for quite a while now, and the White Sox pen hasn't been much better. His chances of being blown up are every bit as good as those of Perez here IMO.

2 units each

May have a few more plays on the later games yet....

Your 100% right about Detroit's struggles against lefties.

I know they won the game against Liriano, but if it wasn't for one bad changeup in the 1st inning Liriano would have thrown a shutout. They didn't get a hit from the 3-9th inning in that game.

Against Santana they had 9 hits in 5 innings , only scored 3 runs in the game though.

There all right-handed as well, doesn't make sense completely.

I haven't seen an article or anything yet, but on one of the telecasts tonight the announcers were talking about Mark Buehrle.... saying that Chicago thinks he was tipping his pitches, they found something watching some video of his last 3 starts.

we'll see about that. lol

I thought you said "one of these testacles" instead of "telecasts"

In other words I thought you were calling the KC broadcasters testacles

LOL
