BALTIMORE (Bedard) -150 over TAMPA BAY (McClung)
Eric Bedard was hampered by injuries in 2005, and wound
up on the short end of a number of close decisions. But this
promising lefthander still managed a 4.00 overall ERA and
should have no difficulty in dispatching a sorrowful Tampa
Bay team that posted a dismal 7-22 mark against southpaws
last season (-$540 with only 3.5 runs per game). The Devil
Rays are stuck with a very weak rotation, so don't worry too
much about the ineffective Seth McClung (5.66 ERA in 17 starts).
The Orioles have plenty of firepower to overwhelm the hapless
visitor. They'll have no trouble prevailing as favorites tonight
