    Saturday Interleague Value Plays

    I followed a good day with a not so good day yesterday, going 1-4 -2.60 units. All of the games I lost were close except the Mariners blowing out the Braves. Let's see if I can turn my luck around today.

    Twins -115
    Pros: For one, the Dbacks are awful on the road. Their team hits a collective .218 on the road. Micah Owings has a 10.66 ERA this month. On the reverse side, Blackburn has been a stud at home with a 2-3 record and a 2.37 ERA. Expect the Twins to pounce on the Dbacks once again.

    Cons: Opposing batters hit roughly .300 off Blackburn.

    White Sox +110
    Pros: While the Cubs as a team have been good at Wrigley, Jason Marquis has not been as fortunate. He has a 2-2 Record and a 5.13 ERA at home. He has also gotten hit by some subpar offenses, such as the Padres and the Rockies. While he is having a good June, he has yet to face any league leading team such as the White Sox. Marquis is also 0-1 with a 14.71 ERA versus the White Sox. Contreras is 1-2 with a 4.23 ERA versus the Cubs. They are also without Soriano.
    Cons: The Cubs are pretty good with Wrigley. No Konerko.

    I'm digging the twins too. Owings has indeed been horrible lately.
