    Francisco Liriano scratched from start, Boof Bonser will start in his place.

    Bonser was 2-2 with a 5.30 ERA in seven starts for the Twins earlier this year. He was 6-4 with a 2.84 ERA in 13 starts at Rochester.

    He was significantly better at home, from what I remember.

    Besides Liriano scratch what else do you guys think about the early games...
    Im thinking San Fran but I'm getting a little tired of trying to cash in when they finally win a game...
    Also like Anaheim or whatever their name is and Kip Wells in his Texas debut...
    Anyway, all input will be appreciated

    I sort of like Minnesota today. I don't have much interest laying that price with a starter who has been in the minors, but Kip Wells is basically a minor league pitcher as well, and the Twins have the best home record in all of baseball. I'd look for them to bounce back with a win in that one.
    I think the other early prices are pretty tough. There's probably value in Washington, but I'd be surprised to see them come away with a win.

    I think Escobar is a much better pitcher than Loiaza. Angels = easy money today, my friend. Good luck!
