YTD 31-40 -1181
I posted some early looks last night, and I don't like some of the line movement I have seen on them, but I am going to stick by my numbers anyway.
Pitt +103 X1
I simply cannot back this imploding team: The Reds. Jimmy Haynes has been simply brutal. Even though D'Amico has a 1-4 record over his last 5, his era was 2.16. Against this light hitting Reds team, I will take my chances.
Col +180 X 1
More of an anti-Dodger play than for Chacon. I have never been a big fan of Chacon as he has also struggled since his return from the DL. However, Brown has lost his last 4 starts, and the Dodgers are in their patented 2nd half freefall. I will take the stronger lineup, even though the Rocks have lost 6 of their last 7, the Dodgers aren't exactly burning it down either. 19 out of their last 27, and the moves they made to me are about as exciting as muff diving on Anna Nicole Smith.
KC +119 X1
I really don't like the line move on this one, but how can you back Radke in this situation? I also don't like the fact he has given up 22 HR! Royals went yard a few times last night against a much better P in Santana. May has absolutely been dealing for the Royals; even though he does not have good career numbers vs. the Twins. I will also back the team that is 30-9 vs. AL Central, won 9 of their last 11 road games and is the 3rd best team in MLB since June.
Sox + 130X1
Another one where the line has moved a lot. Sox starting to heat it up, while the Blue Jays are falling apart. The Sox own Escobar, while Garland has fared well vs. the Jays. While Garland's road ERA scares me, he did very nicely in his last road start vs. this team while they were playing well. I am also banking on that Toronto bullpen imploding again if the game comes to that.
I like Seattle too today, but want to see if Meche looks healthy. He has not been right lately, but the A's couldn't hit Anna Nicole Smiths ass if it was tumbling at them in slow motion with a Boat Oar.
Good luck everyone!
