FYI,
* A surprise is in the offing in Anaheim. Plus the Yankees now appear to relish the underdog role.
* After his anomalous performance at the Giants, Jurrjens is likely to return to the beastly road form he's shown lately. If that happens, then expect the Braves to continue their feast on the slumping Dbacks.
* Having been subdued to only one run in their last game, the Texans will score more than their average RPG as Padilla gets one more road win.
* The Olsen/Stokes match-up hands the pitching edge to the Marlins. Let's hope the Marlins' bullpen won't hand the game to the Mets.
* Snell's form would have you think the Pirates/Phillies game will go Over. Games only go Over when the required runs are scored. In their current form, the Phillies can turn any pitcher to the second coming of Cy Young. Expect another low-scoring game between the Pirates and Phillies.

Phillies -1.5 (-125) if phillies can't blowout Snell and the Pirates I'm done with the phillies for the year.

Arizona vs Braves over 7.5 (+105). picked this only because LT Profits have this as his under play and he has been wrong as hell with Arizona over/under plays so far. I will fade him to the bank with this play.
