Just a couple of leans today with a brief, non-mathematical explanation of each. ALL comments welcome!
TOR RL - Kyle Drabek is one of the Jays' top prospect pitchers and he looked a little nervous his first time out and suffered the loss. Sure, he only allowed 3 runs in 6 innings but the Jays had some great back-up in the field and there easily could have been more runs. Having said that, he is a fantastic pitcher and I expect him to come out with a more relaxed feel at home tonight and get the win. Pauley is coming into the game with 5 starts and no wins. The Jays will take this game and continue to creep towards the Dead Sox. Also, I will go so far as to say that Bautista hits #50 tonight and I will grab the closest titty and cry with joy.
HOU ML - From legend Randy to underrated Wandy. I like this guy. He is slowly becoming a "marquis" pitcher while Marquis is anything but. When the Pooston Gastros started the season at 0-7 or whatever it was, I made a half-serious joke to my buddy..."they'll clinch division". LOL, I wasn't even close but needless to say their second half has been extremely impressive and I think Wandy will hold the pesky Nationals to only a few runs and I expect this game to be a low-scoring affair. Grab Pooston while they are just a slight fave.
PIT +1.5 - I can already hear the groans and moans from my fellow posters but I can also hear the groans and moans coming from the STL locker room. They are jackin' each other off in there and talkin' dirty while other teams continue to jack homers and talk baseball. I have loved betting on teams like the Pirates this year. I can name them all but it will just garner laughs. Morton has made a few improvements over the year but is still a sub-par pitcher and should normally be faded but against Lohse I will take them at +1.5 even with the juice. In fact, I was even thinking about posting PIT ML but thought that would DEFINITELY result in nobody ever messaging me back here haha.
DET ML - When Sherzer is on, he's on and I don't see KC and Davies doing much to get to him today. I had higher hopes for Davies this year but he has let me down and I will definitely fade him today in Detroit as the Tigers continue their "too little too late" campaign. The juice is a flowin' heavy on this one though so maybe a parlay with another pick.
Good luck all, comments, fades/tails welcome.

- I can't believe the Jays only put up 3 runs and the Mariners ran all over them. I left this game right after Bautista came inches from the foul pole only to fly out next pitch. I thought for sure he had it there. Would have put the Jays up by 1 and changed the game. I heckled Lopez all game about his turquoise glove, I guess that jinxed it for me as he hit 3, yes three, dingers. 
- Had this one in a parlay with DET and also took PIT ML straight up. Loved it. Don't sleep on the Pirates at home!
