The +EV plays that jump out today are the Jays, Rays, A's and Giants.
The Giants and A's primarily on a very positive current team dynamic.
The Jays on both the team dy and the pitching matchup (love Cecil here).
And TB just on the huge team talent mismatch vs Balt.
Like all these on ML and to cover -1.5 for half the ML wager.
The price on the Astros is tempting, but the Hou team dy vs Cubs today reads pretty negative with Hou going down with their ace yesterday and the Cubs beating Halladay on national TV. The Cubs also have to feel great about missing Oswalt in this series and I always like the Hou lineup a little better vs LH pitchers (Silva has been a better than ave RH this year). Staying away here.
Have had Jimenez, at least for 5 inn, in every start this year and hate to pass on his start tonight, but doing so. Feel that Florida is coming on as a team and the Colorado bats on the road are so often cold. Of course, Ubaldo could shut them out, esp since the Marlins lineup is way better vs LHers than they figure to be vs a very top tier RH. Thought about this one long and hard. Pass. Wish the Rocks were playing a different club.
Have liked the White Sox last few weeks, but definitely staying away here simply because a collapse like yesterday vs a divisional opponent always spooks me - and no big stopper out there for them today. The Sox have been great when they have momentum and pitch, but not sure they have the balls as a team to quickly turn the page on yesterday. We'll see. It will be a test.
