Hmm, u picking the Rangers against Hudson and the Braves. I would rather go with the over 10 in that game or the Braves to win..

Braves/Texas over 10 (-105) WIN
Braves rl -1.5 (+140) LOSE
White Sox/Pirates over 8.5 (-120) WIN
Royals/St. Louis over 9.5 (even) LOSE

Marlins +1.5 (-155) WIN
Orioles vs Astros over 10 (-105) WIN

Keep betting against the Mariners until they prove they can win a game at home ... Marlins are picking it up, the Mariners are dying a very painful death. Yes, they will win again eventually, but in the meantime make some money ...

Braves/Texas over 10

Braves win

White Sox/Pirates I would go with the over 8.5

Royals/St. Louis over 9.5

Diamondbacks win

White Sox/Pirates over 8.5

Orioles -1.5 point spread

Reds money line


That's who I'm betting so far..

Johnnymapalo,
I thought about the OVER in the Texas game but 10 is relatively huge. The last time I took the OVER in a Texas game, I lost big time. Maybe I'll try this time.
Can the Dbacks win even with Webb? They've been disappointing of late.

Yanks -170
Rays -142
Rangers -102
Brewers -115
Nats even
Chi Sox -173
Cards -138

Orioles cause the Astros in a 5 slump plus their on the Road.
Padres have been playing good ball lately but on the road also.
Rays at home w/Kazmir he's a beast!
Rangers since they had the day off w/braves suckin on the road even with a win last night.
Dbacks webb just like Kazmir unstoppable even with team in slump.
Picking up Angels for at home for a follow up loss. They won't get swept at home this series!

Marlins price is drifting up, I thought the opposte would happen. Thats why I bet them last night. Felix has to give up some runs sooner or later.

Houston/Baltimore UNDER 10
Brandon Backe has been abysmal on the road this season. 1-6 with a 5.95 ERA, yet the UNDER has hit in 7 of his 8 roadies, including 5 straight. Garret Olson has been menacing at home for the O's with a 3-0 record and a 2.66 ERA. To see how good he has been at home, look at the overall #s (5-2 4.53 ERA). The UNDER has hit in 6 of his last 8 starts. The UNDER is also finding Houston on the road with 7 of their last 8 hitting UNDER the total and 25 of 37 roadies on the season going UNDER.

hmm, Olson last starts have been against big hitting teams I do believe, Red Sox/ Phillies/ Yankees. I don't think that means anything in this game.. Houston just got blown out and embarrased by NY. I think they want to avenge this blow out tonight and put some runs on the board. The Astros are vulnerable if they go down early and the Orioles can run up the score at home. I have more faith on the over than the under. That's just me..

Yeah I mean on-paper at first glance, over definitely seems like the likely outcome. But #s crunching is the way I go. The other # that points me to the under is that the 'Stros don't score for Backe on the road. 17 runs in 8 starts, so even if the O's bash him, the Stros may not score more than 2/3 & a 7-2 game gets it done. We'll see.
