Adam Jones and Nelson Cruz destroy LHP, made Nuno their personal meat puppets.
Orioles looked good this weekend in NYC, and I think they will beat the White Sox 2 out of 3
The series price isn't posted yet, but Sale is a good fade tonight.
I'm fading Sale tonight, backing BALTIMORE +110
Reasons to back Balty.
1) They looked good against NYY this past weekend.
2) Hardy is starting to heat up, if Cruz and Adam Jones remain hot, a hot Hardy with Chris Davis makes the top six in that line up tough outs.
3)O's meat of the order hit LHP.
4) White Sox offense strikes out the most in the AL not named Houston.
5) White Sox offense does not hit LHP well. The Punch and Judy catcher Flowers does, Eaton hits LHP a little, but that's it, and those two are not game changers.
6) Chen, while not as talented as Sale is a tought lefty.
Across the board numbers are sound.
7-2 3.78 ERA pitching in that division/league is fine, 1.24 WH/IP is sound, 60/80 K/IP ratio, all sound, not rock soild, but sound steady numbers.
7) Won his last four decisions, not his fault 'pen let him down against TB, Oakland too.
Got ND's in those games.
Shut out Boston, (7 innings) Was sharp versus Oakland.
8) I like home bow-wows
BALTIMORE +110 2*
Yankees go up to Canada for a three gamer versus Blue Jays.
I like this kid Whitley, big league stuff, veteran poise for a kid, however, I think he gets raked tonight.
Joey Bats is out but Encarncion has been mashing, and the rest of the lineup shoould get theirs tonight.
Encarncion is on fire, nobody can keep him in the yard these days.
I would play Toronto, except they have a gas can (yes, the term gas-can applies to starters too)
Stroman is trash.
Yanks will get some too.
Game should sail over the posted nine runs even with out Bautista
Tampa Bay is buried, however I like Cobb to get things rolling against Pitt in that dungeon of a ball park in Florida.
Rays should make a minor move this week too, however they are too far back.
Volquez should get shelled by that singles and doubles hitting Ray offense.
Like Cobb tonight too, but not a ridiculous juice though.
Baltimore is the play
considering a Cobb -153/over 9 NYY parlay
