Toronto Blue Jays -134 - My no-brainer bet for Friday. Using any other word besides 'no-brainer' would be taboo.
Atlanta Braves -122 - One of the best Strike-Out pitcher against one of the worst. Braves offense is in a rennaisance of sorts and the Brewers bats are in a funk. Braves have problems against lefties but this lefty's WHIP is ballooning in 2009.
Mets/Astros Under 8
LA Angels -143 - Liriano's last start qualified as a quality start. Truth is, he wasn't as good as the box score would indicate. Actually, he was okay; except for one late inning where he couldn't hold it together. His road WHIP has to be a concern.
Marlins/Dodgers Under 7 - 2 good young arms going at it. Dodgers offense have been on fire so here's a chance to cool off.
Cleveland Indians +112 - got a good feeling that the Indians will out-slug the M's. Indians are blacklisted from any consideration anyways, so this is the slightest of leans. All i'm saying is, i wouldn't bet on the Mariners in this spot.

Pitchers i'm avoiding/fading on Friday:
Garrett Mock
Matt Garza
Manny Parra
Francisco Liriano
Ryan Rowland-Smith

Thoughts on OAK, Anderson has been solid his last two outings and I see alot of value at +170 or so. Plus.... I'm still not sold on Joba. A's are on a hot spell right now and I think it's worth a play. Thanks again for all the quality insight Kane, you're quite good at what you do. Get Those!

savagehenry13 - I'm beginning to get that feeling that Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill will be battling for the ace spot in 2010.
For this matchup, i'm not entirely conviced that this is the best spot to fade Joba yet. As i look ahead, i'm actually looking to fade Joba when he faces Scott Kazmir of the Tampa Bay Rays next Wednesday.

Braves actually have hit .274 with a .755 OPS vs. lefties in comparison to .260 with a .735 OPS vs. righties. So even though they got shut down by Zito today (that high curve call on Yunie that got Cox thrown out was very questionable...and resulted in none on 2 out thanks to a throwout...instead of 2 on none out), they've been hitting lefties well. Parra is so inconsistent and can be a worldkiller one game and horrific the next so you never know what you'll get. I'd be a fan of the Braves pick here.
Brett Anderson has ace potential. While some might have been turned off by his rough start, he has really been putting it all together. BA had him as the A's #1 prospect coming into the season and the #7 overall prospect in all of baseball. Tremendous command and his fastball has gained velocity during the minors and he sits in the low 90s now and hits the mid-90s from time to time. He was going in the high 80s for a while until the 08 season. He also has very good secondary pitches (hard curve, sharp slider)...he really has the potential to be big time.
FWIW, BA's projected 2012 lineup for the A's has Anderson as the #1 starter, Cahill #2, and Michael Inoa #3...
I think a small play on the A's or perhaps the under or something might be in play here. Joba is so hit and miss...
Pods and Nats is just a hilarious matchup and should be an entertainingly terrible series. Boy do they suck. Latos has ace potential and Mock isn't that great...but you never know what will happen with two teams that can't hit.
Love Toronto but that line almost looks fishy. How in the world is Doc only laying -140 when Garza is a home pitcher...was the line made expecting the Rays to bounce back from the perfect game or something? no clue...will definitely play this but it sure is odd...
BOL.

Parra has looked great his last two outing back from the minors. I saw him play in cincy last weekend and he was hitting 96 on the gun. This kid has "the stuff" as they say, but there's a screw loose upstairs.
If he gets off to a good start, we could see a pitcher's duel.
GL tho

packersfan34 - I think the Braves take today's game and the Brewers win tomorrow w/ Gallardo. Looks and sounds logical; just hope it works that way as i'll be on the Brewers on Saturday. Hanson is tough but this guy has to run out of "luck" sometime and record his first loss.
the_carlsoni - The White Sox "charts" look great, much better than the Tigers. They should be able to carry their momentum into today's game. Hitting Verlander could be a problem as he is in top form. But since the "charts" project that Verlander might not be on his A-game today, i like the White Sox's chances in the first match.

Gavin Floyd (8-6, 4.40) C- is 5-0 w/a 3.55 ERA in eleven career starts against the Tigers. Floyd has a 4.03 ERA in Comerica Park. Check Floyd's daytime #'s.

Gavin Floyd - According to his bio chart the curveballer is due for a fade. However i think next Wednesday's match against Francisco Liriano in the Metrodome is a better time to fade Gavin Floyd; whereas Floyd is 3-4 w/a 5.34 ERA pitching in domes. Floyd have an impeccable record in day games and is undefeated in Comerica Park.
Jonathan Niese - Another run support victim or bullpen mishap? I just don't see the Mets winning this one.
Jon Lester - The lefty phenom is undefeated against the Orioles with a remarkable 8-0 record. Well, theres a first time for everything. I may not wager on the Orioles but something tells me i should stay away from the Red Sox.
Possible values/winners for Saturday:
NY Yankees RL - Somebody give me a good reason why anyone should back Gio.
White Sox/Tigers Under - This series have been going Under the total and this one exude pitchers' duel.
Milwaukee Brewers -133 - Can Hanson's luck strike 2 times in a row?
Giants/Rockies Over 9 -
LA Angels -118 - When will this Angels money-train be derailed? Blackburn is most vulnerable on the road. But this is all on Palmer who really isn't as good as his numbers indicate.
