Jeremy Bonderman (Det) -1½ wins -110
Matt Cain (SF) +1½ wins -120
Bonderman looks like a lock in this bet. Had a bad year last giving up alot of runs in early innings, but still was able to win some of those games b/c of tigers lineup. Now the lineup is even better and not just because of cabrera. Plus I look for sf to struggle this season, so even if Cain pitches well, he will still lose b/c of run support.
Justin Verlander (Det) -½ wins -110
Carlos Zambrano (Cubs) +½ wins -120
Zambrano had injury issues last season and Verlander proved he was no one year wonder. Z just got his new contract and would not suprise me if had less then steller year, and if he is even slightly hurt will not resitate to sit out, esp if cubs have no shot at playoffs. With more run support Verlander should not have to pitch as many innings and with healthy bullpen tigers should be able to hold more wins for Verlander, while Cubs blow wins for Z.
Anyone disagree with these? I truly cannot see either one of these losing and the max is not very high I think $500.
