Red Sox/Rangers
I am very surprised this line for the Rangers is this low. Rangers are -126 at home with Tommy Hunter on the mound. Hunter is 9-1 with a 3.00 ERA with his only lost against the Angels. Red Sox have Beckett on the mound but i am pretty sure everyone knows his is not having a good year. His ERA is a 5-6 and they just lost a heartbreaker to the Blue Jays. Rangers at home are real good this year yet this line is -126? I thought this should be in the -150 range because of how good Hunter is and how horrible the Red Sox are. I think the Red Sox takes this game pretty easily.
Dodgers/ Braves
Tim Hudson is having one of the best pitching performances ever. His ERA is around 2.24 or so i recall and he is just nasty at home. I think he won 7 straight decisions already. The last game he lost was at home where he was i think -195 chalk against the Brewers and lost. He's easily top 5 pitchers in the NL this year and he has always been good. But this line just smells funny. Even though the line went up for the Braves from -145 to -161, i still think this looks too easy to take the Braves. Like the Red Sox, Dodgers lost the lead in the 9th inning and lost the game to the Phillies last night. Most people would think the Dodgers are tired and probably going to not show any effort going to Atlanta and going against their ace. Dodgers have Kuroda on the mound. He is a solid pitcher though his record doesn't show it well. His ERA is around 3.5 i recall which is pretty decent for starting pitcher. This spot looks too easy for the Braves with Hudson on the mound just like back then when he was at home pitching against the pathetic Brewers and then got lit up. I think Dodgers win this game in convincing fashion.
