I think there is slight value with Toronto, good luck with them. But I actually like the Red Sox tomorrow.
I don't know a whole lot about Gabbard, but being a lefty will help against Johnson, McCann, Thorman, etc., and getting +120 or so with a very good team at home to win a series against another very good team is pretty reasonable, even with a pitching disadvantage.
Teams off double-digit losses typically perform well, and while Hudson has been brilliant, and the Braves pen is better than the Red Sox pen, I think the Sox will put up some runs in this one. They have hitten Hudson fairly well in the past (Lugo hasn't, but everyone else that has faced him at least a couple times has had at least some success), and they've had a chance to at least see most of the Braves relievers.

Yea. I am a little unsure about Atlanta. But I tihnk I am def going with litsch. I don't think the lines will get better tomorrow so I might act now.

I think theres some value with the Braves tomorrow, but I can't lay that much wood at all.

I like the Jays tomorrow, but I disagree with your Braves play. Gabbard is a capable young lefty with above average stuff. Hudson has probably been the top pitcher in the NL thus far, but he's been destroyed in his career against the Sox. I think the value is with Boston at plus money playing at Fenway. GL tomorrow.

like Texas and Boston for tomorrow.

Here's the numbers on Hudson to which rjt and I were alluding:

Team record 3-7, 59.0 IP, 59 hits, 40 runs, 38 ER, 33 BB, 42 K, 6 HR, 5.80 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, .267 BAA

Not thaaat bad. But then you look at how he has done at Disneyland, err, Fenway, and the numbers are much worse.

Team record 1-4, 25.0 IP, 33 hits, 24 runs, 22 ER, 21 BB, 16 K, 3 HR, 7.92 ERA, 2.16 WHIP, .333 BAA
