Florida +120...1 unit...ATL is not producing runs lately. I could bump this down to a 1/2 unit if Cabrera doesn't go. I think it is more likely that Olsen goes deep than Davies.
ChiCubs +105...1/2 unit...Zambrano is capable of being the best pitcher in the NL. Thus far, I think he has shown he is one of the worst. Taking a gamble on the volatility of Zambrano plus the Cubs are poised to start scoring runs in bunches in my opinion.
Cincinnati +105...1/2 unit...Arroyo has been awful but I see this one as a slugfest especially considering the depleted pens for both sides which aren't that good in the 1st place.
SF +146...1 unit...Would consider this my play of the day. Morris is showing signs of a younger form and I don't think much of Webb. I'm hunching that the Giants will win more games in June; I like this spot for them.
Minnesota +180...1 unit...I'll say this again. I love Lackey at home but this price just seems so unreal. Strictly playing the price.
Baltimore +127....1/2 unit...I can't seem to say NO to the Orioles. This will be the 7th straight day I have played the O's. I need my head examined.
KC Royals +204...1/2 unit...Will certainly take the price with Bannister. I agree with some on here that have commented about the great price here. I perceive value with this price. Indians are great at home but at 2:1 against a starter (Byrd) that has had swings of volatility in his past, I'll take a gander.
Oakland +114...1/2 unit...Everyone is betting on the come today with Boston. I'm not so sure that is the correct way to look at this game. Kennedy has been very good with zero run support. He'll need to have a good outing again for OAK to win and I think he'll do it. I think OAK is a lot better than their record indicates.
Good luck, gentlemen. I have promised myself not to watch the Orioles game today because I'm out of Maalox.
