Ironic. The last 2 games in the Houston at Toronto series involve Houston's best pitchers, Both games start early in the morning.
 
IMO Baltimore is in a prime spot to dominate Boston just like they have the last season or 2 (5-2 SU this season, 13-5 SU last season, and of course they iced the Sox meltdown cake in '11 in going 5-2 SU over the final 2 weeks against them). Hindsight says they delivered a lookahead effort yesterday vs KCR.

Boston is just 12-17 SU their last 29 against AL teams with real playoff chances (OAK, TEX, DET, BAL, TBY; that excises you, Yankees. By the same token, Baltimore is 17-12 SU their last 29 vs the same batch of teams, exchanged with Boston obv.), and if they'd lost a couple of games in Seattle they were "lucky" to win (coming back from 3 & 4 run deficits in that ballpark) they'd be just 5-10 SU their last 15 instead of a slightly healthier looking 7-8 SU.

Looking deeper, Boston is -
8-8 SU their last 16 (4-5 SU against +.500 teams)
8-1 SU the previous 10 to those (against COL, SD & TOR)
5-8 SU the previous 13 to those (against DET, TBY & BAL)

Only a soft spot in their schedule makes for their being 21-17 SU their last 38. They know how to beat up on the average to bad teams. They have a further long swing of "soft" games coming, but then their schedule turns nasty for the final stanza of the season. IMO they aren't winning the AL East for an auto entry into the p.s.

They were making a big deal about how Baltimore was in a lookahead spot against KC last night. And how Boston was going to have an advantage today since they had a day off-and would get into Baltimore sooner than the O's would yesterday.
 
you will expect to see Gibbons use Dickey through at least 7 innings, bullpen needed that rest last night but wouldn't mind getting an extra one today.

yea many on Balty last night

maybe tonight's the night
 
Mets are cheap today in both games. Mejia has been lights out in AAA, and Zimmerman is struggling. Mets already beat Zimmerman once this year. Young out hurts, but oh well. +205 way too cheap
 
Soriano flew from Phoenix to New York overnight and is expected to play for the Yankees against Tampa Bay tonight.
 
Love SEA -0.5 FF

I like SEA FF -0.5 -150

I know the juice is high but Scott Diamond might be the worst starting pitcher in baseball.

Last 3 starts he couldn't go past 4 innings, walked at least 3 in each.

He has given up 4 or more in 6 out of his last 9 starts..

King Felix vs Minny
.234 ba

Mauer the only one with success vs Felix. Mourneau? .152 avg in 33 AB's.


Don't need to tell ya about King. I could mention his 1.29 ERA in July, the 5 QS in a row (last 2 starts 0ER), 5 or more strikeouts in every game but two. 1.02 WHIP

If King Felix can't ou tpitch diamond after 5, then I just don't know.

I really don't think the juice is all that bad. i rarely give this much juice, but today its warranted.
 
Also forgot to mention:

Miami ML (+154) @ Pittsburgh
-Locke is a fraud and I expect the Pirates bullpen to come back to earth now that Grilli is missing. Neither pitcher has been seen, huge price on a home team.
