Around the Diamond
over Cleveland (Texas went 8-1 +7.1 units against Cleveland last year, and are 7-2 +6.4 units in their last 9 games at Cleveland.Rich Harden’s team has won 4 of his last 5 starts against Cleveland(though this is his first in a Rangers uniform), while Fausto Carmona is 2-6 lifetime against Texas with a 6.00 ERA.)
over Boston.... (Pavano is 11-4 as an underdog of +100 to +150 over the last two seasons (Team's Record), while Lester and Boston is 60-25 on grass fields.) One difficulty the Red Sox have endured is 3-14 record in road games vs. a very good bullpen whose WHIP is 1.250 or better over the last three seasons.
over Chicgo W/S.... (Brian Tallet will take a second turn this season for Blue Jays squad that is 20-10 in April since 2009 and face Chicago team that is 0-10 in Canada.)
over 9 game total.... (No need to explain)
over 7 game total.... (The St. Louis Cardinals are showing real offensive firepower the first week of the new campaign, scoring 6.2 runs per game on the way to 4-2 record. They will finally get to show the home folks just how explosive they are against a Houston club the has not scratched in the win column in 2010 and is off to their worst start in 27 years at 0-6. The middle of the line-up has been especially potent with Albert Pujols batting .375 with four home runs and 10 RBIs and Matt Holiday hitting .423 with three home runs and six RBIs.)
