LAD @ Florida
Penny vs Nolasco
Penny visits old home on a very high note. Has given up 3 & 2 earned runs once, 1 & 0 "er's" twice. Wind blowing in only helps his 95 mph fastball stay in the vastness of this park. Nolasco had good comeback outing, BUT....
Thus:
Dodgers -123 one unit
YTD: 14-8 +12.35 units
:thumbsup:

NYM @ SF Giants
O. Perez vs Zito
Two very different clubs, if you will. Ollie has actually been very solid and has a tremendous offensive attack behind him. Barry can be untouchable at times and in his first official outing vs Mets. Will lean with better team and a pitcher that has controlled BB in recent history at plus money. Thus:
NY Mets +103 1/2 unit

Texas @ NY Yankees
Wood vs Pettite
In a time of transition and distraction (Clemens), any perceived edge could work to our advantage. Wood was +200 at home last week and now +220 vs Bombers. He pitched very well and now enters the hallowed hall, that Babe built. If he survives that emotion, taking 2+-1 is a real possibility. Pettite mostly solid and his best friend is back FWIW. Mariano's struggles only help. Thus:
Texas +220 1/2 unit
YTD 15-9 +12.85 units

Tejeda vs Mussina
Rematch of 6 days ago where Mussina was -140 and won in Arlington. Now - 205...Tejeda has been consistent in 2007 and a better overall pitchers in comparative numbers. Will roll with dog and plaus $$ again. Thus:
Texas +185 one unit
YTD 16-10 +13.35 units

Oakland @ KC
Haren vs Meche
Both hurlers have been outstanding and this figures to be more of the same against respective lacking offenses. Oakland has 22 runs and KC 18 in last 5 games. Combined era's of starters is 3.98. Both teams have totaled 22 runs in the 7 starts by each starter. Thus:
Oak-KC under 8 -110 1/2 unit

Boston @ Toronto
Wakefield vs Halladay
Sox go for sweep and 8 out of last 10. Toronto losers of 7 straight. Mr. Knuckleball facing Blue Jays for 3rd time in 2007. After two outings vs Ohka, Halladay presents a huge challenge. Roy solid as always, but must be concerned about Canadian attack. They have totalled 12 runs in past 5 games and hitting the butterfly only exacerbates their hitting woes. Going against Mr. Cy Young tonight. Thus:
Boston +134 1/2 unit
YTD: 17-11 +12.85 units

Cubs @ Phil
Hill vs Hamels
Like the visiting Cubbies as Soriano has finally found his stroke and sets the table and tone for team. Hill has been all-starish and will enjoy challenge versus more publicized Hamels. Philly's lefty has been more down to earth in 2007. Thus:
Chicago +108 1/2 unit
----------------------------------------------------------------------Milwaukee @ NY Mets
Suppan vs Sosa
Renewed Suppan has arguably pitched as well as anybody in MLB. Brewers have been told how big this series is ad nauseum. Will roll with momemtum and best record in baseball at plus $$. Thus:
Milwaukee +114 1/2 unit
YTD: 18-11 +13.52 units

Milwaukee @ NY Mets
Capuano vs O. Perez
Brewers looking to take series against vaunted Mets. Capuano's undefeated 2007 season has been as remarkable as the Brew crew's start.
Look for the roll to continue behind their ace. Thus:
Milwaukee +107 one unit
YTD: 18-13 +12.52 units

Atl @ Wash
Smoltz vs Bergman
Rematch of 2-0 Wash win @ +260 & 8.5 o/u a month ago. Chipper not in lineup tonight. Look for much of the same as Bergman has been very good and Smoltz will compete to turn tables. Thus:
ATL-Wash under 7.5 1/2 unit

Colorado in a playoff chase and Cook has regained form of yesteryear. Five of last six, he has allowed 2 er's or less. Olsen has been up & down and has off-field issues beyond the Rockies potent attack. Thus:

adding a West Coast Parlay
SF-LA Penny started as a Cy Young candidate, but has been less of late. Lowry is solid, but tailor made for LAD lineup.
Oak-Det-On paper a 1-0 classic between 2 young stud starters. Reading between lines says otherwise. Expect a few more tallies than Mr. Linesman has drawn up. Thus:
2 team parlay of 7.5's over
SF-LA over 7.5 -120
Oak-Detroit over 7.5 -115
1/2 unit for 1.21 units

Two am plays on the agenda:
Like Guthrie vs Wakefield at Fenway. Guthrire went 8.3 ip earlier in year vs Bosox, allowing one er. He may be as good as there is right now. Balt competing with some heart of late.
Balt +119 1/2 unit
Cubs host Phillies and contrary to many opinions, think Lohse gets lit at Wrigley today. Marshall has been under the radar but very consistent and solid.
Cubs-1.5 +145 1/2 unit
YTD: 20-15
+ 12.56 units
