20-10 +15.11 (16-9 sides (1-2 evilRL
), 4-1 totals (all U's, so far)
55%rockies
-starter edge to Cubs is offset by rock's better pen (Zambrano may not last in this one); big edge to rocks bats despite not being at home (Cubs .590 OPS thru April with an HR every 111 AB's, vs one every 19 vs righties)
56PIRATES
-neither club doing much vs lefties; Alvarez a big X-factor here; 2 solid pens (and LA's will likely get 3-4 innings); Dodgers killed (only) lefties last year, and did hurt Willis yesterday, but I think with anything from Alvarez and this game stays low scoring
65(52)cardinals
-I don't believe in Kim, but I lost going vs him last game; edge to Cards bats and starter, BPs a tossup
58REDS
-2 unpredictable clubs with 2 unpredictable starters going...well, 1 unpredictable starter going (Rueter has been trash); small edge to Reds bats, depending on who's aching today
73(59)METS
-yes...I like the Mets here; Mets much better vs lefties this year while brew-crew much worse; big edge to Glavine over Davis here, and Mets pen may have small edge also (yesterday's extra-inning affair notwithstanding); I probably add a run-line play if some fortunes hit me early
56BRAVES
-Thomson has been hammered by Astros before, but Redding is possibly the worst starter in the majors so far...a total bust; edge to Astros pen and bats; I hear Chipper may be back for this one
51padres
-slight edge due to comparable bats, Peavy's big edge over Pavano (who has sucked vs the Padres) and Padres decent pen; I expected a much better # for the pads here
66(50)D'BACKS
-edge to Unit who has performed vs, while Padilla has not vs AZ; Unit should be fresh...good thing with this bullpen; Phil not so hot vs lefties (or anybody)...D'Backs look good here
60RED SOX
-big edge to bosox starter and pen; bosox bats weaker vs lefties, and have been quiet lately in general
54chisox
-chi has been clubbing lefties; Lilly is consistantly inconsistant; the reason that I'm confused into believing that Garland has good stuff is because whenever he faces the Jays he does; large edge to chi's pen
51indians
-edge to injuns SP Lee over Bedard here; big edge to O's pen; edge to indians bats here as O's having trouble vs lefties...injuns too, but not as much
55RANGERS
-I wanna try the tigers here...still might; Benoit has looked good lately, but I think it's an illusion; Bonderman may be the one Tigers starter with actual Yankees potential...there...I just did (isn't cyberworld wonderful? )...I think if anybody can inform Tigers bats what kind of stuff Benoit has, it would be I-Rod...I was looking at the Tigers series price (+180) with them using a pair of lefties on the weekend (Maroth&Robertson), but I think it's not enough, what with Rogers chucking the finale for Texas
64(50)ANGELS
-Hendrickson looking good lately is DEFINATELY an illusion; edge pretty much everywhere (though I'm not really high on Lackey), but Angels missing 2 key bats right now
50-50twins@A'S
-small starter edge to Santana here, the way Redman has been chuckin' lately; pens pretty even; small edge to Twins bats, again depending on who's out hurt
60yankees
-edge pretty much all round to yanks, here, including starters work vs opponent
