Its the battle of the BM's today! Houston starter Brett Myers is washed up! He's allowed 10 hrs and a .302 batting average this year and it won't improve today w/no pitcher in the lineup! He has no velocity left....maybe 88 on the fastball? Morrow for the Jays has a great arm but has never learned to pitch? He's given up 8 er/8 ip at home this year & walked 5 per 9 ip in his career! This one cracks 7.5 with ease!!
Cubs/Boston (-150) RL (+135)
Zambrano is worked toward Brett Myers territory...not quite that washed up but
he's only hitting 90-91...not the hard thrower of years ago! Big Z has a 5.23
road era in 31 ip this year and Boston is getting hot w/the bats! Boston raided the Yankees for nice middle reliever Alfredo Aceves who's getting a spot start today! AA has nice career #s with a 3.14 era, a 1.06 whip and allows an outstanding .217 batting average against! Very nice #s and I expect the Red Sox to get a solid 5-6 from him today! I'm on Boston -150 with a small RL play!!
