    Early games I'm looking at

    Cards +114 with Garcia over an overrated Cueto and the Reds.
    Cards have had success getting to Cueto in the past, should ding him up today.

    Red Sox -119 with Lester over Romero and the Blue Jays.
    Ellsbury, Ortiz, and Youk all have hit Romero consistently in the past.
    If McDonald starts, that's a plus, he owns Romero too.
    Sox break out in this one.

    Nats -112 with Wonder Boy Stas over Santana and the Mets.
    Mets line up severely weakened with Wright out.
    Honeymoon is over for the Metropolitans, time to fade NY.

    Wrong team favored here imo Cueto due for regression this year. Also like the Nat's in the early games. Boston/Toronto tougher to call for me. Kinda like the under, but the pen issues give me pause.

    Locked in on Card's.

    Reds can't swing the bats very well atm and Garcia has owned them.

    1. Rafael Furcal (S) SS
    2. Jon Jay (L) CF
    3. Matt Holliday (R) LF
    4. Matt Carpenter (L) 1B
    5. Yadier Molina (R) C
    6. Daniel Descalso (L) 3B
    7. Tyler Greene (R) 2B
    8. Erik Komatsu (L) RF
    9. Jaime Garcia (L

    I was gonna load up on Cards last night but wanted to wait until the lineups were released. I had a feeling they were going to bench some players hence the line. They can still win but the offense will have a totally different dimension without those three. I'll lay off this one but good luck on your picks.

    Jon Jay absolutely owns Cueto.
    Now all Garcia has to do is avoid that one middle inning brain fart !

    *side note* I respect everything Cairo has done in his 20 years in baseball, I admire those super utility guys, however, he's pure garbage right now in 2012, he's older than dirt, slow as a pig, but man, he had a very nice career though.
