MLB April 24th

Took the day off yesterday after a brutal Tuesday...

NL

Houston at Cincy...  Houston has won 4 in a row.  Cincy has lost 9 of 12.  Cincy is one of the worst teams around.  Yet the line is -175?  I know people are high on Cueto, but this line is ridiculous.  i have to take a shot on this one.

Philadelphia at Milwaukee....Milwaukee kills lefties.  Philly is playing good ball.  In theory the OVER looks great.  But, there's a strong wind blowing in from center.  I'm not sure how much of an impact it will have, no I will pass this game.

Cubs at Colorado...The Cubs have won 6 in a row.  The Rockies have lost 4 in a row.  Yet Colorado is -135???  Jason Marquis is 3-0 lifetime in Coors with an ERA below 2.00.  Why are the Rockies favored?  I might be falling for a trap, but I love the Cubs here.

St.Louis at Pittsburgh....Have the Pirates finally turned the corner?  Pineiro has been awful this year, but is 2-0 lifetime against Pittsburgh.  Gorzelanny is the better pitcher, but has struggled in the early going.  Probably a high scoring game.  Over might be worth a look, but I can't play either side.

Florida at Atlanta....2 horrible pitchers going against each other.  But 10 is a big total.  The +140 looks juicy in what might be a softball type game.  Will decide later what to do.

Mets at Washington...The Nationals are playing awful.  They've lost 15 of 18.  The Mets are 4-0 against them this year.  I think fading the Nationals right now might be the smartest play you can make.  I will look at the Mets -1.

SF at SD....2 good pitchers.  Linecum has pitched as well as anyone this year.  Chris Young has been money on the road, only so-so at home.  Hoping to get a better price on SF, but will probably take them.

Arizona at LA....Another game with 2 lousy pitchers.  Arizona has been playing great.  Getting +130 here looks hard to pass up.

Official plays.

Houston +172
Chicago +132

AL....

Texas at Detroit...No way to go anywhere near Texas.  Detroit's bats are clicking.  They are getting healthy.  However, laying -165 is not interesting.  The Over looks very interesting here.

Anaheim at Boston...We know Anaheim has the pitching matchup in their favor.  But Boston a PICK at home???  I'm going to wait for the lineups.  If Boston is playing most of their regulars, I will be on the Sox.

Minnesota at Oakland....Liriano is being over valued.  He has not shown he's anywhere near the pitcher he was before the injury.  Minnesota is not a good road team.  Greg Smith has looked good this year.  Oakland is looking very good with the game almost a pick'em.  Anything under -120 is good value on the A's

Toronto at TB....Again no interest in Blue Jay games.  They are very unpredictable right now and I have no interest.

Cleveland at KC...No interest in Double Headers.  Once I see the lineups, I might change my mind, but for now, not even looking at the games.

Yankees at Chicago....I get to fade Hughes at a pick'em.  I get Gavin Floyd (who's been unhittable) at home for a pick.  I will be on Chicago later.

Baltimore at Seattle....Not interest in laying -130 on Seattle right now.  Will not take Baltimore on the road for this price.  I will stay away.
