baseball roundup June 1st...

heavy wind blowing out in Minny/Cleve game line has moved to 9. Indians starters have era of close to 12 in last handful of games. Lowe does not have good #'s vs Minny. Pavano has been poor all season.

Boston/Jays line has moved sharoly in bosox favour. Sox bats have been very hot, pen has stabilized. Buchholz #'s have been trending down. Alvarez #'s have headed the other way recently. Sox getting chalk here looks good.

Texas/LAA over 8.5 Williams has terrible #'s vs Texas in limited innings. Lewis so-so #'s vs Angels. both teams are hitting now...don't think it will be 21-8 though....

both Philly and Miami have been hot lately. Kendrick is 7-2 lifetime vs Miami and has been very hot in his last 3 starts. feel Philly have a goood shot here tonight.

Expect Atlanta to turn things around as both McCann and Freeman are back in their lineup on a regular basis now. of course the bottom end of their rotation has to get better.

St Louis/Mets Wainwright has definitely turned the corner pitching much better the few starts. Santana has been blazing hot at home with 1.60 era. under 7 might be the play.

Rockie bats have really woken up lately, Dodger bats have fell silent in 4 game sweep at home. See if Rockies pitching is the tonic that LA bats need.

Paulino's 5 starts...2 vs NYY, 2 vs Balt, 1 vs CWS ---era 2.03 should have no problem with A's weak lineup right.... books have taken notice with line around -150

Pirates are an astounding 4-38 at Milwaukee in last 42. Correia era 5.22 vs Brewers. Wolf 9-3 lifetime vs Pirates. Brew Crew have 7 players on dl but swept LAD on road...go figure. lots of chalk on Brewers...over 8.5 a look maybe.
