Around the horn cont.
Minnesota @ Chicago
Put most of the numbers aside there is pure value in this game. I hate to side with the people, however you get the first place twins who have won six out of seven overall, and nine out of the last ten against the white sox, and you get them at plus money? I'm down.
PLAY Twins +125
Much like the pitt/cincy game the under looks good here and I will post as soon as I see who is behind the plate.
Houston-110 @ Milwaukee 9.5O20
A double Play in this one tonight:
PLAY UNDER 9.5 (E)
You get the under at a nice price in this one. Haynes goes tonight for the brewers and although he is pitching well lately he is not winning games. The brewers only give him 1.7 runs per game. Which should stay the same considering thay are only batting .210 vs. righties in the last ten. Winds will start off blowing left-to-right and then will blow in towards home, and behind the plate, Wendelstedt has the under at 6/11.My only worry is that the astros score 10 all by themselves which brings to my next play.
Astros -110
Little late jumping on this number as it was at even money earlier. However the astros hit Haynes well 0-3 era over 10. The astros are hitting very well almost 60 points higher than milwaukee, and should lay it on. Worried about the redding pitching, don't he actually pitched well in his first start and the astros gave him seven runs of support which should help to keep him setteled down. Also only Dotel is not available out of the pen, so they will have backup for redding.
Wendelstedt behind the plate has the home team at 8-9 this year, and in the last two year when the home team has been a small fav of +110 or less that team is 0-7.
More numbers on milwaukee:
1-5 last 6 games
3-9 last 12 home games
5-21 in 4th game of a homestand last 26 times
Seattle-130 @ Texas
I don't know what bothers me following the public, or having so many selections. I don't know what to post good reason for taking seattle, or bad for taking the rangers because there is plenty of them.
I'll take the bargin basement deal with the M's
PLAY M's -130
That's it for now, will be back with late selections, if any
