too many plays

I would say that ATL, Rangers and Tampa, and I'm planning to play them three. KC could lose if Cain has a good day, and the same thing could happen with Halladay. GL

I thought I was the only one with a load of plays tomorrow. I like 6 games as well.

Play of the day is the white sox +110. Just take a look at how much the cubs and the white sox have to travel to play this game. Clearly, white sox are at an advantage in the opener.

The KC and Nationals games fit the profile of games in which the road side seems to have a pitching edge but the home side eventually wins. Recall Thursday's game between the Jays (Burnett) and Brewers (Bush)? Recall Zambrano's and Halladay's last road losses?
My favorite of your picks are:
KC
Pirates
ATL

What you think about the u8½- at -105 in the Rays game??
Non of the teams got good batting stats lately an the pitching matchup isn't bad.
Astros are hitting .200 with 2.12 R/9 in their L5 and .221 with 3.15 R/9 in their L10.
Rays are hitting .228 with 4.01 R/9 in their L5 and .248 with 3.86 R/9 in their L10.
Oswalt with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP in 18.2 innings L3. On the road he got a 4.67 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP.
Garza got a 4.96 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP in 16.1 innings his L3. At home he got a 2.19 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP.

Im looking for a 6 run game in this one and bet a 5-1 Rays win..

Also the Braves RL looks good as Campillo is steady at home with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP in 27 innings. Meanwhile Bedard have been struggling on the road with a bad 7.40 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP in 24.1 innings.
The Braves have been hitting lefties pretty good their L5 with a .226 batting avg and with 5.14 R/9. The Mariners have been hitting righties for .233 but have manage to score just 1.72 R/9...

I think its a worth a shoot on the RL at +160 on the Braves at home...
(In the L5 days teams have won by more than one run 44 times against 18 one run games..)

I don't think the under will hit. Garza is great, but Oswalt isn't very good. the braves could win and cover the spread. But I like to play it safe when the line is low enough.

It's risky to take the UNDER in a Rays game. Given Oswalts' road stats and Astros' offensive struggles on the road, Rays RL may be the more profitable pick.
