Give me the NHL, or give me death
Great way to start the year off yesterday with the Cubbies and Cards...Lester's dead arm is showing or maybe it was the cold, but I think they rushed him back too quick. Maybe there's some rest for him in the future....been busy with a lot things and who knows If I can keep posting all year (end up just posting in the discussion threads)

Toronto ML 2.37 - late to the party, Tanaka's velocity is down this year as he has had to change his pitching style and you can tell he's still adjusting. Jays have one of the best 3,4,5 hitters in Edwin, Bautista and Donaldson..add Martin and Reyes to the mix and there's some good balance.. Hutch worked on his slider and two seamer in the off season and it was working in the spring

Colorado/Milwaukee Over 8 - 1.96
Boston ML - 1.88
Chicago ML - 2.15
San Diego/LA under 6 - 1.96
 
The slider has tangible data going back to last year too, when he started throwing it more in August, and softer too, so less of a cutter
