Oh well getting a late start today. It was totally warm in bed now that my woman is gaining baby weight! But anyway, here I am back for more punishment!
Today I like Toronto on the early game. Romero is actually at this point in his career, a better pitcher than Pettitte, and the Jays have shown inthis series that they can handle the Yankees and are definitely not in awe. They are taking it right to them, and if not for some bullpen implosions, they would actually be looking at sweeping the Bombers. Today they won't let it get away (so I hope) and they will finish off the game with a victory. Romero has a sterling 1.00 WHIP over his last three appearances compared to Pettitte's 1.13. The bats for both sides are in order, and although the Yanks have slight edges, you can tell by the box scores during this series that the Blue Birds are holding their own inevery department except relief pitching. This must impove. Romero must go 8 innings.
Toronto+135
I'm riding the Royals into this series with the Tigers fresh off of a nice series win against the mighty Pale Hose. I also got my two wins within the series. I think that since the Royal are hot and the Tigers are not, then this is a good spot to go for the neck. I am looking for more, as they are streaking!

Okay, the Mariners return home off of a grueling east coast trip against the Yanks and Red Sox, both juggernauts. Now the O's are horrible on the road to be sure with a 16-40 road record in their last 56 games. But there's something fresh about this Bergesen kid. He really is that good. I would call an 0.79 WHIP over his lst three appearances pretty darn good stuff. The M's have lost Beltre for a while. I think that it shows up in this game as the O's also own the statistical advantage in batting average, slugging %. The only issues that I see are the one major one with the O's and that's the bullpen. Sherrill and company blow leads unlike any bullpen that I have seen this year outside of the Nats (come on you didn't think I would forget about them). This game will be fun to watch until the last out is recorded trust me on that.
