--pirates are movin' up with 5 wins in 6, including taking 3 of 4 at the Dodgers, while the Padres
are continuing another also-ran season and their offense continues to blow chunks; Kennedy is
putting up good numbers but wins require some run support and the Padres record in his 12 starts
(5-7, was 3-7 before winning his past 2 vs both slumping Chicago teams) reflects that; Liriano
brings in some solid stuff and finally picked up his first W of the campaign and pitt is 7-5 in his
12 starts including 6-2 in his past 8...if he is getting the calls then he is very hard to beat and
ump Joe West has a very fair strike zone; for what it's worth (not much, IMO) visiting teams have
gone 6-3 in West's games this season, 17-15 last season and 18-15 in 2012
--jays are much stronger, and hotter, offensively, and while Dickey remains a hit-or-miss depending
on whether or not the knuckler is dancing, Porcello hasn't been great vs jays (2-3 record in 6) and
current jays are hitting .447 against him (1.134 OPS) with Reyes, Cabrera, Bautista and Encarnacion
all greatly enjoying his company
--Norris doesn't tickle my fancy this year but Rangersticks are, not surprisingly, tanking while the
orioles are fairing better offensively and should continue to enjoy hitting in this park...it should be
mentioned, however, that a strong wind in from right is projected; Martinez is only here due to
several injuries and the club's 3-0 record is his past 3 starts is a total misnomer...this guy is due
to be torched sometime soon as his 2.75 era will come more into line with his 1.50 whip and other
unimpressive numbers; run-line (+140'ish) was tempting but weather conditions may keep score
lower than required for that; Martinez, btw, does not go deep and Rangers BP is worse than the o's,
especially lately
--want some piece of Indians (was hoping for -125...fucker opened at -150 at has been at -138 to -143
since) so trying the early return with some Wainwright normality; Kluber is totally developing into
a prime starter while 'sox recent 7-game surge has disappeared while Indians recent surge continues;
Workman appealed his suspension and will need bullpen help, most likey; Injuns aren't much interest
to me this season but this seems like a good spot and I was really hoping for a good line...decent
wind in from right makes me pass on the run-line, not to mention a very high chance of rain which
might nix this mother regardless
