Bonus Play for April 12th:
1 Unit on Pittsburgh Pirates -122
(Listing Snell and Arroyo)
The Pirates have played some very close ball game as of late including a 1-0 win over the Reds yesterday. Ian Snell (1-0, 3.75) hopes to make this one a lot easier. The righthander allowed two runs and four hits in six innings of a 9-2 victory over Florida on Sunday. Snell will be opposed by Bronson Arroyo (0-1, 5.91), who has gotten off to a terrible start. Arroyo was pounded for five runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 5-3 loss to Philadelphia on Monday. Arroyo is 1-11 (-11.7 Units) against the money line in road games vs. teams whose hitters strike out 7 or more times/game since 1997. Cash in with Pittsburgh as the favorite.

(List Backe and Miller) The Astros are just a small home favorite at home and they are worth every penny with their No. 2 starter in Brandon Backe on the hill. Andrew Miller (0-1, 12.91 ERA) is one of the key young players acquired in the trade that sent Miguel Cabrera to Detroit. The 22-year-old lefthander surrendered six runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 frames but managed to escape without a decision in Florida's 10-7 victory over Washington on Monday. Backe (0-1, 3.27 ERA) allowed two runs and six hits with seven strikeouts in his last turn on Sunday - a 3-2 loss. Backe’s great pitching will not go for nothing tonight with the Astros’ hitters finally giving him some solid run support against Andrew Miller. Take Houston here.
