Five plays today VS. this interleague garbage so here goes.........
Mtl Expos Vs. Tor Blue Jays Over 9 -124
Risking 2.48 units to win 2.00 units
The more I look at this, I goofed, I could either take this line or Over 9 1/2 +100, I should have taken the Over 9 1/2..... In my lines I had the total as 10 1/2.... Montreal has spent their whole bullpen basiclly in that last series VS. the Marlins. Carpenter and the Blue Jays bullpen gives up three runs this one will be in the bag.
Stl. Cardinals -116 Cle Indians
Risking 2.61 units to win 2.25 units
First off Matt Morris Vs. Charles Nagy... huge mismatch. Next, the Indians bullpen has struggled quite a bit lately. The more you look at that Karsay and Reed for Rocker trade the Braves made out like bandits. That made the Indians bullpen quite a bit shorter. Nice team, nice starting pitcher, small price tag..... I will buy it.
Ana Angels +185 Col Rockies
Risking 1.75 units to win 3.23 units
Extremely nice price on the Angels here. I look for Mike Hampton to struggle in this one tonite. He is on four days rest and has thrown 125 and 128 pitches in his last two starts. As I have said many times before I will take a shot against that Rockies bullpen anytime, especially at a +185 price tag.
SD Padres +102 TX Rangers
Risking 2.25 units to win 2.29 units
Once again I am taking a shot vs. that Rangers bullpen that should play a huge factor in tonite's matchup. Helling is coming off four days of rest and has thrown 125,124, and 108 pitches in his last three starts. By the way, how can the Rangers be favored on the road against any team that is not named the TB Devil Rays?
Cin Reds Vs. MN Twins Under 10 1/2 -107
Risking 2.14 units to win 2.00
First off, this game was a pass for me at 10, as soon as the line went to 10 1/2 with a small -107 price tag it carries an edge in my book. Reds seem to be constantly struggling on offense. Combine that with Reitsma being a quality starter, the number is just too high and deserves an under look.
Good luck on this interleague crap,
HC
