Early Games...12:10 ET and 12:35 ET

[Deke101]

Dodgers @ Marlins

Tampa @ Baltimore

Thoughts?

Hard not to like the Dodgers and Orioles.

Dodgers just stomped Florida 13-1 last night, and now the pitching match-up is more in favor of LAD.

The Orioles just lost 8-1 last night to Tampa and today they have a pretty favorable pitching match-up.

LA is hot.

Garza has good #s vs Bal, coming off his best start. Burres does not have good #s vs TB.

What makes the pitching matchup favorable for the Orioles? Do you suspect that TB would trade Matt Garza for Brian Burres?

True. Though the sample size is only 56 ABs, this TB roster has an OPS over 1100 vs Burres.

Burres last 2 starts pretty impressive.

[mofome]

Burres last 2 starts pretty impressive.

Whats more relevant, his last 2 starts or the one prior to that where he faced this exact same team? Honest question. He has been great this year, though his stuff is that of a AAAA pitcher, but you cant argue with his overall success thus far in 08.

[Deke101]

Tampa Bay bats .253 against LHP, .249 on the road, and .216 in day games.

Baltimore bats .251 against RHP, .267 at home, and .228 in day games.

Last game of the 3-game series, currently tied 1-1.

[pokernut9999]

Since Baltimore killed Garza earlier that is a wash. Burres #'s better as of now.

While Garza got hit hard in that game, Burres was even worse in his outing vs TB. Then you look into the fact that the rays lineup is batting over .320 vs Burres with an OPS over 1000 while Garza has held these Os to a BA under .210 and an OPS under .600....adv tb

Typically we have some guys sitting out for day games. Hopefully we'll get some updates early.

Only day game I won this year was the under in the suspended game this week. Can not pick a day game to save my life.

[Deke101]

Well I'm lookin to win big early today for some reason cuz I just finished my semester this morning and now its beer and baseball from here..so:

12* Dodgers -133
8* Orioles -125
5* Dodgers -1.5 (+120)

[Deke101]

I should've waited longer to get my lines, even though I saw the Dodgers line move from -133 up to -138 quick so I took it, but now its down to -131, and the Orioles are down to -112.
