Since I am looking at bases a bit more before long camping trip, I did find one decent spot, similar to Mets last night. A cheap home fave, with a decent starter, but this time against a lesser opponent with name pitcher. Texas -1.05. Listed, I really like Ryan Drese. He is Mr. no decision in July, but has a good shot earn one tonight. If you do not know him, he is a control pitcher, when on, can drop his pitches right through the zone, lots of ground balls. Very few walks, excellent 1.99 era at home. Halladay former star, has been trashed 2 out of 3. Has the 4.50 on road, had great outing in Montreal, but who does not shut them down. Other outings torched. In Drays, shelled. Texas lineup similar contact, draw walk and move runners with contact. Much more cohesive with ARod gone. Been a death trap for Eastern teams visiting Texas, all of them, including Yanx. Price is Right here, if not a bit of value. Another play, not an A play, is the Mets again. How will old man Erickson pitch? Been a couple of years since he was even in a big league rotation. But his last 3 farm starts have been outstanding. 21 innings, .086 ERA. He is a maybe. Millwood has been getting hit regularly. Both starts at home vs. Mets. Second start they figured him out, now he faces them on road. Philly very good at home, Mets are also. This one fits under home division dog, current momentum, and possible sleeper pitcher. Thats enough for a B play. I am seeing +1.15. Mets just so hot as a home dog I could not resist. So 1 A play, Texas, 1 B play, NYM. Best Wishes...OF
