    White Sox +112
    Danks has been solid this month posting a 3.00 ERA against some tough opponents such as the Angels and Blue Jays. He has a 1.76 road ERA. He also shut down the Rays earlier this year. Edwin Jackson has improved, but the White Sox offense can take care of him. The Rays also struggle against lefties, batting a mere .243 as a team.

    #963 SF +178 : I got to take the chance with the suddenly hot Giants, vs. the suddenly cold D'Backs , the Giants are somehow hitting ov .300 vs. LH in L10, and their pen is putting up low numbers.

    Like the pitching mismatch in this one. Danks throwing the ball pretty good right now.

    Well the Mets pretty much ended my charge to the top last night. I'm still not convinced the Unit is nearly as good as his stats, so I'll play SFG +179 FTW.

    I like Danks, and the Sox have a better pen. Plus Jackson's struggled the couple of times he's face the White Sox.

    Barry Zito has been looking better, and San Francisco knows they can win in Arizona.

    Zito finally picked up his first win of the season during his last start, against the Marlins at Dolphin Stadium. After giving up a run in the first, Zito retired 13 of the next 15 hitters he and went a season-high 6 1/3 innings.

    PIRATES + 166

    Let's see now.

    Pitt has lost their last two consectutive road games against these same Redlegs, 9-6 (and) 9-1.

    Even worse, the Pirates haven't beaten the Reds since last August.

    The Reds on the other hand, have a nine game home winning streak!

    Unfortunately, the Pirate's BP has been hammered these past few days.

    So the coin toss says,

    "Go Pitt".

    PIRATES UP 7 - 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    my contest pick was the pirates last night . lmao
    gorz didn't make it out of the 1st inn . tonight it's the reds pitcher harang that is gorzelanny of last night . is not predictable .
    the 18 inn extra inning game sunday in sd harang pitched 4 scoreless inn in must have put a dummy in harang's body chemistry .
    these things you dont predict , you can have a nice little run by pickin the OppOsItE of what makes sense or what the #s tell you .
    a great capper can have a poor showing against someone that simply picks the opposite of what makes sense in mlb .
    is lovely , yes . this means anyone can do well which is what makes this so great , everyone can do well , even people that dont even know the players names ...
