Initial plays...
Tampa -140: I like how BJ Upton is getting back into the swing of things, the team was 3/4 on their last home stand and I've been saying for weeks this team is underrated.
Here comes an Oakland team that can't win on the road to save their lives. They just got swept on the road and now travel to Tampa.
Both teams pitchers suck, but the Rays have started hitting and their fucking grandpa manager who shit his diapers last night will NOT have the pitcher hitting for Evan Lorgoriva the DH tonight. Grandpa simpson the tool. I was only going to play Tampa if I liked the price, and -140 isn't bad against a team so awful on the road and that doesn't have a very good offense. The pitchers both suck so scoring could happen, but the Rays are at home and have a much better lineup.
Milwaukee +112: The Brew crew ( and Texas) are other teams I've been playing all year... The Brew crew has won 5 in a row, STL has went 2-6 in their last 8 games...
Brewers batting .270 vs righties in their last 10 games
St Louie is batting .240 vs rightines in their last 10 games.
- The Cards have their injuries to two outfields
The pitching matchup is about a wash. Louhse is alright but so is looper, I'll go with the hot healthier team that I actually like getting + money here.
Angels -118: Part of this is me chasing because I lost with the Angels 2 games in a row against my other followed team the Rescue Rangers.
Before they got killed by some death chair Texans 3 games in a row, the Angels were on a 6-1 run. John Lackey looks like Peter Brady but he's fucking good.
A few years ago I was dating a foreign girl and instead of doing her stuff I took her to a baseball game in NYC... Yankees vs Angels... John Lackey vs Roger Clemens. It was a fucking 16 inning game that might have ended 2-1 and it was impossible to explain the rules when the score was something like 1-1 through 9 innings.
The Angels are 5-4 vs lefties, Seattle is 12-14 vs righties and could be a little emotionally worn down from last night...
