HOUSTON/MILWAUKEE UNDER 9 1/2 120 - Tim Redding has been a dead under play at home, turning the trick in 23 of 30 as a favorite and 12 straight when favored by -150 or more. He has also gone under in 15 of 19 at home when the number was between 8 1/2 and 10. Ben Sheets shut out the Astros and fanned 10 when he faced Redding five days ago. Sheets has gone under in 11 of 17 on the road agaisnt division rivals.
OAKLAND/TEXAS OVER 11 120 - The A's have blown over in 53 of 83 on the road after scoring nine runs or more. Texas has been on the high side in 32 of 46 after playing five straight at home and in 16 of 21 after batting .315 or higher over a five-game span. The teams have gone over in 37 of the last 54 in Texas while Rogers has been on the over end in 11 of his last 14 under the sun.
BALTIMORE (+185) 100 - I know Ponson usually stinks it up against the Orioles, with a 2-9 lifetime mark and a 6.20 ERA. And Martinez is 8-3 against the Birds with a 2.84 ERA. Ponson, however, is 15-5 as a road dog and 19-11 on the road and he won 28 of his last 43 at night. Boston is 34-38 as home chalk of -175 to -200 and Martinez is only 43-36 versus division rivals (-32.2 units). Boston could be looking ahead to its big series with the Yankees this weekend as well.
MINNESOTA/CLEVELAND under 9 100 - It's tough betting the Indians under as bad as their bullpen has been but their starting pitching has been steady as a rock until D'Amico stumbled yesterday. Brad Radke has gone below the number in 70 of 107 on the road and 48 of 64 under the lights, as well as 35 of 51 the first half of the season. Rookie southpaw Jason Stanford pitched well in his debut shutting out the Royals for five innings on the road.
SEATTLE/ANAHEIM OVER 9 1/2 115 - Even without Troy Glaus in the lineup the Angels batting order is downright scary. Anaheim has gone 'over' in seven of nine this season and the Mariners have followed suit in six of eight. The Halos have jumped over in 19 of 27 at Edison Field in April and Seattle has gone over in 18 of 25 on the road the first month of the season. Fifteen of the last 19 meetings in Anaheim have been on the high side. John Lackey didn't get out of the fourth inning in his first start and he's gone over in six straight at home in April.
