Blue Jays (Litsch) (2.46) 3 units
I'm waiting for possibly the best spot to back the Jays in this series and that's in Doc v Wang duel, since I expect Wang to be favored, I will pound on the home dog.
I like the same spot here, even though to a much lesser extent. The Jays have been feasting off lefties, and even though Pettitte isn't just any lefty, the Yanks overall haven't been as impressive on the road as they are at home.
They scored a ton of runs lately and I'm looking for them to regress a bit during this road trip.
I actually believe the Jays are undervalued here, Litsch is far from a gas can rookie, he has actually had some very solid starts lately, and has probably reached his all time high as far as confidence is concerned.
Toronto is only 4 games behind NYY and they're at home, have to take this price and hope for the best.
Nationals (Lannan) (2.85) 4 units
Getting the Nats at almost triple the money against of the suckiest teams in baseball right now? Wow. Remember those predictions of how the Nats aren't even going to win 50 this year? Well guess what, they're 51-60 on the season, and that's better than the Giants can say for themselves.
John Lannan has some very good stuff and I expect him to shut down this sorry excuse for a lineup tonight.
Forget the Bonds hype, forget the fact Tim Lincecum is the nastiest rookie this year and has been very impressive of late as well (4-0, 1.36 ERA in last 4), even though he has actually raised his number of walks per game lately...
The fact is, the Giants are scaring no one, and the Nats are 6-0 in last 6 and 8-2 in last 10.
They're on a serious roll, firing on all cylinders and it would be dumb to fade them here at a bad price. So instead take the value and run.
Angels - Red Sox (over 9) (2.10) 5 units
Angels ML (Weaver) (1.90 @ Pinnacle) 3 units
The Red Sox have closed their Safeco series in a very convincing manner, unleashing 9 runs last night and winning 4-3 the night before.
They usually fare quite poorly at Safeco and this hsould be a confidence booster for them, traveling to Anaheim to meet the 2nd best AL team throughout the year.
A huge series here, in which we have a typical small ball lineup (which hasn't had much success in Oakland this weekend) and a quite talented, all round lineup, featuring several in form hitters right now.
Both pitchers look hittable, even though I do expect Weaver to bounce back from his last poor start, he should still be up for a 6 IP, 6 H, 4 ER type of game, and I expect even less from Schilling. The "bloody sock" has just returned from DL, forget his career numbers at the Angel stadium, he will be in trouble tonight, the Angels are far more dangerous at home than on the road and they should step up big tonight. The only thing stopping me from going even bigger on the over (come on, we're talking two AL lineups here, of possibly two best teams), are the bullpens. Still, the price is excellent, and I'm all over it.
Looking for an 8-5 Angels win.
One more play coming up...
Good luck tonight. :cheers::tiphat:
