BIG PHIL The NATS were enjoying a rare off-day on Monday. I know that sometimes (in baseball) that sort of thing can work against a team. However, come this time of year . . . teams do become tired. Anyway, nothing I do or don't say will change your mind. So I'll simply wish you luck. |

It looks like HUNTER v CARRASCO for Game 1; and MCCARTHY v LAFFEY for Game 2.
I'm definitely still on board w/ the Rangers for Game 1. I'll probably lay off of the back side of today's double-card in Cleveland. It has been a few starts, since when last Hunter collected a road win. I believe he is very much in line to break that trend today. Either that, or he drops his third road start on the row. I like the odds of the former, as opposed to the latter. I'm also adding STL [-1.5] +130 - Smoltz won't mess up his chance to blow away those busch-league Brewers. P.S. MGD tastes like ass. |

Wow. The Twinx practically never win in Toronto (over the past few seasons - at least).
No matter. After allowing themselves to get worked over by the Indians, I dearly doubt they'll get tripped up by another ballclub whom they likely all view as "highly beatable". |

When last these two met (in FLA) the Mets really stung the Fish w/ a beat-down victory. Redding pitched that game for New York as well. So this contest really presents itself with a palpable proposition for punishment. I believe the Marlins will be equal to the task.

Baltimore did not play on Monday. Nor were they required to hop a plane which concluded a road-trip. If the O's are going to win a single game in this series, this promises to be that game. Every Baltimore fan and player should have a special basket of hatred for the Red Sox. And who can blame them.

I back the Twinkies . . . and they lose. I pick against the Twinkies . . . and they win. A sane person would just leave that team alone, but I am not one to be so easily detoured.
What I failed to account for (w/ MIN) is simple; that team is acclimated to playing in a dome . . . and on astro-turf. Which definitely compromises the home-field advantage, which the Blue Birds are accustomed to enjoying. Anyway, I smell a sweep in the making. (A) MIN +102 |

Pedro Martinez came up w/ the Expos. Can he be the Phils stopper in this series-opening tilt? Maybe it's just me, but when I look at Pedro . . . I don't exactly see "stopper" written all over the man.
Lannan, on the other hand, looks to be in line for a win. He's simply too good a pitcher to keep losing games. Philly has had the Nats number this season. We'll see if they are able to 'dial it up' yet again. (H) WSH +130 |

They're at home. They've dropped the past four matches against Chicago. Somethin' has gotta give. D. Lee hit two round trippers on Monday, and the final score was 4-2. Not exactly what one would call 'makin' it stick'.
(H) PIT +100 |

When last these two squads met (August), it was a series in Cleveland and Laffey pitched his team to a 0-5 shutout in Game 1 of that series. I don't see a repeat performance here. Especially w/ the Rangers coming off of a game in which they were shutout (0-7).
It could be a close game, but the arrows look to be pointing in the Rangers' direction. Due to the first game of this series being rained out, I'm unsure of the exact pitching match-up. Either way, this is a 'must win' series for TX. (A) TEX -103 |

CORRECTION: MIN scored more than one run per their recent three games in Cleveland.
Whoops. |

Each of
these teams' respective seasons are (more or less) over. Which makes
this game - and many others like it - a bit of a crap-shoot.
After losing to some of the Mets worst pitchers, I would think that 'the house money' is on the home side. (H) PIT +145 TBR@NYY = OVER 9 I find it quite vexing. How the Twinkies can have one of the best hitters in baseball, yet still only managed one run per game, against one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball (CLE). Perhaps I should not find these facts so confounding. That whole division (AL Central) has been 'stinking it up' all season. (H) TOR [-1.5] +170 This is the the finale of a four game series. After failing to respond, following that Game 1 thumping, I do not trust that a split is forthcoming. Buehrle for 'plus money' at home might seem suspicious to some. It makes perfect sense to me. Beckett is pitching for the Bean Eaters, and there is a vast contingent of Red Sox homers out there. The Southsiders will probably put down another beat-down, but I know better than to 'tempt the hand of fate'. (H) WHITESox +115
Kerwin Danley (today's homeplate ump) is not to be trusted. Besides . . . "the Astros are rolling"; and I'm sure nobody will be suspicious, after the whole world dumps on the PHI ML and "against all odds" ends up losing their shirt(s). If you can't bet on HOU, then your best play is 'no play'. I know, I know . . . you lost your Philly bet on the first three games of this series and today 'you're going to cash in'. (H) HOU +164 The
Brewers played extra innings yesterday and never looked very
impressive. The Cardinals have all but run away w/ their division,
but they are still vying for 'best record in the NL' (which would
ensure home-field advantage thru this year's post-season campaign). Still, I don't trust the Cards to put down enough of a thumping to make their potential victory a decisive one. This is a daytime game, and the shadows are certain to mess w/ the hitters on both sides. Heck, the Brewers might even trip their way into a win. In fact, I like the way that sounds. The shadows are bound to give the Cards fits, while The Crew played both Saturday's and Sunday's games in the shadows. Interdivisional. The Haves vs The Have-nots . . . I like their chances.
