Will update my YTD this Friday. Too busy.
Reds: Indians are losing momentum as the Reds are getting some. Leake has been pitching more effectively in last 5 starts- only 1 homer. He adds an extra bat too. Tomlin is another guy who always looks like he can blow up in any game. If batters lay off the crap below the strike zone, he'll serve up something easy to hit. Reds, especially Votto, can hit right-handers like Tomlin. -1. Two units
Reds -1/2 first 5 innings. one unit
Detroit: Hard to get a RL on this. Verlander is such a competitor that maybe the books are worried no one will take the Cubs. Verlander has faced 3 straight tough teams, has 3 losses in a row, and I think this is a domination game you'll see tomorrow. Travis Wood has given up 7 HRs, and a 1/2 walk SO ratio in 28 IPs. He can get lefties out, but struggles with right handed batters. Tigers can line up the righties, switch hitters, and have a few lefties who can hit LHPs well.
RL. 2 units.
Oakland. ML one unit.
Oakland -1/2 first 5 innings. one unit
STL/ CWS - over first 5 innings (probably at 5) one unit
Minnesota TT. One unit. (probably 4.5)
