Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest - Saturday, 5/10/08

[bbyhill]

Sat 5/10 915 Houston Astros +164
Houston won lastnight against Dodgers and expect the same thing tonight.

[marley33]

Toronto + 115

[Cee]

924 Minnesota Twins +147


twins have the momentum after rallying on papelbon yesterday. They continue to roll 2day

[marley33]

toronto + 115 I like torontos pitching. The bullpen will be the difference today

[fifawcs]

Cardinals +155 Pineiro has been good recently. Sheets has to slow down at some point.

[THE HITMAN]

NYY + 1.16
Bonderman hasn't fared too well his last 2 out vs. NYY. I'll give Yanks & Rasner a shot here.

[Shooter]

901 Arizona Diamondbacks +117

Max Scherzer is a Missouri native and his family will be rolling into Chicago to see their boy pitch. He's AZ No. 1 draft pick from a couple of years ago and their No. 1 pitching prospect. His initial Major League start didn't go too well and I think just like a race horse the second time out they learn loads from their first start. I'll take the D-backs and Max as a dog.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Arizona +117

Not sure which one wins this: Scherzer showing his potential, a lack of Cubs offensive clutch hitting, or just purely Ryan Dumpster giving the game away...

[oakas]

Toronto +115

Really like McGowen here. I think he outduals Laffey.

[mundane]

Los Angeles Angels +120
Angels are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter.
Angels are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
Rays are 1-4 in Kazmirs last 5 home starts.

[elguason]

Sat 5/10 921 Los Angeles Angels +120
7:10PM (EST) 922 Tampa Bay Rays

Angels with Saunders, really good season (6-0) 2.61 ERA. Joe, Away 3-0 ERA 2.33.

Kazmir missing the first month of the season while recovering from inflammation in his left elbow, not yet ready to throw more that 5 innings. He is 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA in two career starts against the Angels.

[soli]

Philadelphia +115

Philadelphia Moyer was very good his last outing and their bats are much stronger against right handers. I'm looking for the lefty bats of Philly to score enough here

[rjt721]

Mariners +113

Mariners playing terribly, of course, but the ChiSox aren't exactly playing great baseball at the moment, either. Vazquez can be volatile at times, particularly with his command, and Washburn should throw a good game against a ChiSox lineup hitting .218 against lefties.

[indy62]

la angels my rule of thumb is that no half decent team should be the dog vs tampa let alone two in a row..sorry angles +120

[dog]

Angels +120

Saunders is having a great year with a 2.61 ERA, Kazmir has a 6.75 ERA and the Drays don't figure to win their 3rd game in a row going up against a better team.

[sharktank1]

ASTRO'S + 164
After winning last night 7-1,
the Astros are 7-3 in their last 10 games.
Whereas the Dodgers have now lost 2 in a row.

[luciano]

Los Angeles Angels +120

Saunders is on fire (6-0, 2.61 ERA) and Kazmir is just getting back to the rotation for the Rays. I'll take the Angels.

[regularguy]

Los Angeles Angels +120

Me too. Better team, IMO, with better starter going tonight. I don't see the Angels losing two in a row to the Rays.

[DeluxeLiner]

Mariners- Chi White Sox as a favorite right now is ridiculous. The Mariners are at home, and even though they have been playing terribly I can see them pulling this one out.

[treece]

924 Minnesota Twins +147
Twins won yesterday and they should win today. Dice K is due for a loss.

[awatkins011]

LAA +120

Kazmir isn't in good pitching form yet. Give him a few more starts and he will get there but not tonight. Angels will score enough to get the win tonight.
