MJ, first of all, great idea to add Nick Douglas to the free pick page -- Nick has always added a little more to his write-ups here and I think that was a great idea.
Anyway, as far as plays today and looking at your early thoughts, here are plays I maybe don't agree with:
Anaheim: Schoenweis recent form (ERA 10+ last 3) is godawful and Anderson has pitched quite well for AZ recently; which Schoenweis shows up here is the question
Cle/Cinn over: Colon has been tough on the road this year and bad at home, so this road game and high NL park total scares me a little; Reitsma is always OK, it seems -- never too good, never gets rocked
Bal/Atl over: low total here is appealing, but 1 great, 1 good pitcher, both in good current form against teams whose bats don't impress me scares me away from this one
Min/Milw over: Brewer bats very quiet lately and Lohse looks to be another decent young Twin arm; Haynes's last outing was good and he is better than he has shown lately, so I'm probably scared away from this one because of the Brewer bats and pitchers going here
LA/Oak over: this scares me for one reason -- Oakland has been on a major under run lately; adding in 2 pitchers in decent current form may scare me away here
Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
