Bets:
Cleveland Indians +121
Pitchers: Felix/Carmona
Gotta back the Tribe at home here. Even without Victor Martinez, that offense can put up a ton of runs in a hurry and they hit very well at home. Hernandez looked great in his first start but this offense will get some runs here and there and I'm not sold on Seattle giving him much offense. They have never seen Carmona and haven't hit all that well this year. Cleveland is a barking doggie.
Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 +100
Toronto/KC Over 9.5 -110
Pitchers: Perez/Burnett
I know for a fact that Perez is going to get shelled here. Toronto hits too well at home, especially against lefties, for a non-dominant starter to do well. Look for Toronto to score a ton early and a ton late and a ton in between. Burnett looked like crap in his first start and KC should add in a few runs to help get the over.
Texas/Tampa Bay Over 10.5 -110
Pitchers: McCarthy/Jackson
Both pitchers should get hit very hard. McCarthy wasn't impressive in his first start and he doesn't have the stuff to pitch well in Texas' hitters park. Edwin Jackson still has no control and Texas finally showed the offense that everyone knew they had last time out. These bullpens will give up some runs late as well and Tampa is hitting nicely.
Oakland Athletics -175
Pitchers: Harden/Contreras
Harden looked incredible in his return and when he is healthy, opposing batters can't touch him. The White Sox aren't hitting that well to start off and I expect another gem from Rich. Contreras was horrible in his first start and has never really pitched well in Oakland. Some guys from the Indians were saying he is throwing alot softer and his stuff is gone. He had a poor spring and couldn't get four outs in his start against Cleveland. I think Oakland takes this one easily.
