Got back today from a golf tournament at PGA National down in Palm Beach Gardens. Quite the facility they have down there.
Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 +138
The Rays just swept the Os a week ago in Tampa, and Jax went 5 strong innings only allowing 1 ER on a solo HR. Baz pitched very well against his former squad in that same game, but I don't have any faith that he can do that two games in a row. TB has the vastly better offense, and pen, and I think they have an edge with Jax starting too. Os got a win last night in an offensive shootout, and I think thats probably the only win they get this series.
Atlanta Braves -106
The Sox just got swept by the hapless Twins, and return home, which is the problem. They are 8-17 @ Fenway, while the Braves come in with a 19-8 road record. If you've read anything I've wrote this year, you know I love this Braves line up, and Strider appears to be back to old form. Suarez has been phenomenal, but this Braves line up has had plenty of looks against him since he came over from division rival Philly.
Miami Marlins +110
The Jays offense lacks any real punch so far this year, and without Vlad, they get a lot worse. He isn't in the line up again tonight, so I'll take Alcantara, and the top of the Miami order to get things done north of the boarder. The Fish arms have been excellent as of late, and Sandy can keep it going after a rough start his last time out.
More coming.
