New York Yankees 'RL' -130

Los Angeles-Colorado 'Under' 12

Home Plate Umpire Phil Cuzzi is UNDER umpires list. The underis 95-71 since 2000 with Cuzzi BHP and an average of only 8.96 runs per game were scored over that time. The under is 1-3 with Cuzzi this season but don't look into that too much. Cuzzi leads the Majors in % of strikes called with 66.19% of his pitches being called strikes. Also, only 278.8 pitches per game are being thrown and Cuzzi is walking only 5.2 batters per game. The OVER hit three times with him this season only because of some late inning runs from certain bullpens.

Oakland-Anaheim 'Over' 9

Home Plate Umpire Paul Schrieber is on OVER umpires list. Since 2000, the OVER is 95-65 with Schrieber behind the plate and he averages 10.42 runs per game. Even though the OVER is only 1-3 with him this season, the team-umpire matchups have not been right for the OVER to hit. Since 2002, when the line is set at 9 for the total, the OVER is 22-2 with Schrieber behind the plate.

Seattle Mariners 'ML' -155

Home Plate Umpire Jerry Layne has always been a HOME TEAM kinda guy but it seems this season he's been stuck with some road teams. Since 2002, home teams favored between -125 and -140 are 8-3 with Layne behind the plate. In 2003 and 2004, the HOME TEAM was 35-18 with Layne BHP.

Scott Elarton has not pitched well at all this season and has been rocked his last two times out. Elarton's career ERA is 5.27 in 113 starts. He is only 14-19 away from home his entire career and opposing teams are hitting .269 against him in daytime games. In his only start against the M's he got rocked and early and was sent packing.

Jamie Moyer has pitched very well this season and expect him to provide matchup problems for the Indians' hitters. In his last 10 starts against Cleveland, the Mariners are an incredible 9-1. In his last six starts at home against the Indians, the Mariners are 6-0 and he has allowed only 9 ER's in 37.1 innings of work. Cleveland is hitting only .234 against lefties on the road this season and the Mariners are going to avoid the sweep.

Your right I don't know what I was looking at. Think I was looking at opening lines
