Going to add all for 1 unit
NYY -1 1/2 -110
Hou -150
TB +120
Why?
NYY run line because Mussina has been pitching pretty good, as of late. Nothing convinces me Feldman, for the Rangers will hold the Yankees down. Rangers bats seemed to cool a bit yesterday. Texas, imo, didn't seem aggressive enough in trying to get home. Yankees were still able to get 5 runs, yesterday.
Astros is the bet because Cincinatti has the worse record on Thursdays, in the majors (1-7).
Tampa Bay gets the upset because Sonnanstine went deep against the kitties, last week, and got the win. Previously, he lost the last three, and this might be the winning streak that the Rays are looking for. Also, they're getting great value for playing the worse team in the American league. Felix would have to pitch 8 with Morrow in relief of the ninth to beat the Rays, and I don't see Felix pitching past the sixth.
