all for 1 unit
Why?
All negative bets: Pirates and Giants share the worse record on Fridays in the majors. Oakland hasn't won in 10 games. White Sox struggle against lefties, at home and Buhrle is 0-4 in last 5 against Boston.

[darrell74]

Gonna step it up:
Milwaukee -1 1/2 -150 1 unit
Detroit -1 1/2 +130 1 unit
Philly -1 1/2 +100 1 unit
Why is that Brewer run line climbing? What do they know? Kitties and Phillies have a chance to blast away at some pisspoor teams. I'll get a run line edge on this one.
