Tonight:
2X-- MONTREAL EXPOS PK
I will take one of the hottest pitchers in the Natinal League at a pick'em tonight. Javier Vazquez has been lights out for the Expos this year. Vazquez is the ace on this staff. He enters tonight 9-7 YTD with a 3.55 ERA in 24 starts. Vazquez is overpowering at times. He has 171 strikeouts in 157 Innings pitched. Look for this type of dominance tonight. The Expos will be facing a left-hander that has struggled of late. Jeriome Robertson may be experiencing a tired arm. His last two starts have been horrible. Moreover, he will try to last more than the three innings he garnered the last time these teams met. Look for the Spos to take a close road game tonight.

JAVIER VAZQUEZ vs. HOUSTON since 1997
