Washington ML (+100), over 9 (-110): Olsen has gotten hit hard these past couple of months, and Washington's bats are often lively on the road, and should be poised to hit well here. Hill is solid on the road.
Mets ML (-110), over 8.5 (-120): Hudson had faltered a bit of late, and that does not bode well for him here on the road against the Mets. Perez has been shaky as well, and Atlanta's lineup can do damage, but at this very small favorite line I believe there is value with the Mets. It's tough to take an over at Shea with a lower mid-range total and 2 starters with good reputations, but I believe one or both of them will falter, and the lineups are strong enough to give value to the over IMO.
Tampa Bay ML (+150), over 9 (-115): Tampa Bay should be legitimately competitive here, with a strong starter and a capable lineup. Schilling can be good but doesn't look to be all the way back yet, and could well get hit. The total is low and the underdog line on TB is high IMO.
