AL Bets:
Oakland Athletics +140
Pitchers: Blanton/CC
Gotta figure something is wrong with Sabathia. The A's hit him in Oakland and they are not a good lefty hitting team. The White Sox hit him as well in the opener and those guys can't touch lefties usually, and haven't touched Sabathia historically. Blanton will give up a few runs to a hot Cleveland lineup but he's still a good pitcher and with Cleveland's bullpen the way it is, I gotta be on the doggy.
Boston Red Sox -113
Pitchers: Buchholz/Wang
Wang has pitched great this year but has a poor history at Fenway and the Red Sox seem to be heating up offensively. Buchholz had a somewhat rough start to begin the year but it's not easy to pitch in Toronto and the Yankees still haven't started hitting to their potential yet. At home, I think this is a solid play at only 13 cents from a pick em.
Detroit Tigers -110
Pitchers: Willis/Contreras
Detroit's bats seem to be heating up and Contreras is shot. Willis is iffy to have success this year but the White Sox don't hit lefties well and D-Train looked good against them in his opener, even though he had some control issues. Detroit should kill Jose though.
LA Angels +103
Pitchers: Felix/Weaver
Weaver is throwing well right now and this Seattle offense just doesn't impress me at all. They rely on the home run and Weaver is doing a great job of keeping the ball in the park. Felix is absolutely filthy so far this season but he has had bigtime issues with the Angels in the past. If he only gives up a run or two, that may be all the Angels need since I don't see Seattle putting up anything offensively today.
