I went 2-1 +1.13 units yesterday. Here are today's selections:
Reds +110: I'm going to wait on this to get better odds. While Oswalt has been dominant in his career against the Reds, one cannot be certain he will dominate them today. The rest of the Astros team has been awful and Oswalt has even been shaky this year. The Reds have proved to me that they have enough skill to win ballgames without their best hitters. The guys who have been filling in for their injured starters are playing great baseball, like Gomes, Nix, and Rosales. Take the better team at home at plus money.
Tigers +140: Edwin Jackson has always had nasty stuff. This is the first year he is starting to play to his potential. This could be a pitcher's duel given that Greinke has been solid this year, in which case the Tiger's offense should come through. Take a solid pitcher and offense at plus money.
