I'll update the record later on, a bit busy right now, just came in here to post my plays.
Braves (James) (2.04 @ Pinnacle) 5 units
I know backing James isn't a stroll in the park, but I can think of a worse thing to do and that's backing Hendrickson, who has pitched over his head in April, only to regress big and be demoted to bullpen for a while, now he'll replace Kuo and get the nod again.
I don't buy it. I don't have trust in his command nor am I too impressed with what he does. On a side note, James hasn't had any significant discrepancies between his home and road starts.
I'm aware Betemit and Kemp are hitting right now but Atlanta are actually picking up their game, they gave back a 6-3 lead last night pretty instantly but I do think they've improved a lot compared to their game 10 days ago.
I think they get the W tonight.
Kansas City (1.98 @ Pinnacle) 5 units
I'm going to back the Royals here again. Seattle has come down to Earth a bit after winning 9 out of 10. The Royals are hitting the ball, maybe even too much, some would say they "might have used up all the runs" last night by scoring 17, but I don't buy it, I think they're in a good period offensively and they keep feasting off Seattle pitching. Brian Bannister has been quite solid at home and in June and Washburn has posted nearly 6.00 ERA last month. The Royals as a dog at home, with Sweeney working his way back into the lineup, while Seattle are getting used to the life without Hargrove and have some banged up guys right now (Ibanez, Sexson).
St Louis (Thompson) (RL) (2.63 @ Pinnacle) 5 units
I backed the Cards last night only to see them get rocked. I'll take a leap of faith here again since I think they are ready for a possible upswing in the next few weeks, having connected well in the offense.
Brad Thompson is no Cy Young but he isn't a gas can either, and even though Livan is a workhorse he has been stuck in very poor period for a while, I expect the Cards to bounce back of a weird loss and win this one by 4 or 5 runs.
Looking for a 2/3 day guys. Good luck everyone. :cheers:
