Orioles are 4-2 when playing the 2nd game of a home stand vs a division rival when the Orioles lost the first game by 1 run.

The Red Sox are 1-6 as a visitor who beat the home team by 1 run in the first game of a series and the opponent is a division rival.

--------------------------
Tampa Bay is 0-3 this year when playing the second game of a home series after winning the first game by 6 or more runs and they won their previous game before this series.

Tampa Bay is 11-3 in all games where they won the previous two games and scored 8 or more runs in their previous game.

So, the conclusion I draw is that if the Rays blow out the visiting team in game 1 of a series they get overconfident.

Logic says that KC doesn't have a chance of beating Tampa today but if what you say is true then odds are in my favor that might win.

Let me add a little about BALT. When they are at home, their bats are more alive EARLIER in the game - just something for those who do 1H totals or early props.

I like Boston to win in a close game, but like Tampa to destroy Chen and the K C Royals.

I think people need to be careful betting on the Giants, and Lincecum today, I really like Philly in that game.

Tampa and Boston should both get it done tonight. Boston bats have woken up again and I look to them to finally get some momentum going.

Also I think people need to be careful on the Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Cubs today.

I decided that I couldn't play the Tampa game today and I did make a small wager on baltimore.
