Thursday Bases...

Anaheim Angels (RL +121) over Detroit Tigers (3units to win 3.63)

The Angels' offense has been extremely strong on the road this season. They are averaging nearly 7 runs per game and a .295 batting avg. With young, lefty Nate Robertson in a spot start (replacing Jeremy Bonderman), there is a safe chance that we could see the Tigers' bullpen make an early appearance.

The Tigers' Bullpen has an era of 5.88 and a WHIP of 1.9 @ Home this season.

Jarrod Washburn takes the mound for the Angels. He's pitched well of late, even though he has struggled with his control at times. He is 2-1, 3.54 lifetime vs. DET.

Angels are 6-1 in day games this season.

Texas Rangers (-104) over Kansas City Royals (3.12units to win 3)

I really like the way the Rangers have been playing this season, quite different from years past. They will be looking to take their third consecutive series Thursday when right-hander Chan Ho Park goes to the mound against the Royals.

The Rangers are hitting .314 as a team. This should get even better with the bats of Brian Jordan and Mark Teixeira returning to the lineup.

The Royals are just 2-8 when playing against a team with a winning record.


Good Luck Fellas

St Louis Cards (+103) over Philly Phillies (2units to win 2.06)

I wanted to play the Cards initially, but I wanted to wait to see the lineups. Didnt want to suffer through a typical LaRussa game with some key player on the bench...did that enough last year, lol.

I've always though Cris Carpenter would eventually turn into a solid #2 starter, but it just hasent happened. But it could be this season. Carpenter is coming off his best start of the year, when he held the Brewers to a single run in six innings last Friday in Milwaukee. That followed a lengthy layoff between starts, during which he worked on some issues in an extra bullpen session. It was the first time this season he struck out more batters than he walked.

San Diego Padres (-200) over Montreal Expos (5units to 2.5units)
San Diego Padres (RL +110) over Montreal Expos (2units to win 2.20units)

Something I will betting on a lot this year...Lefty starters against Montreal Expos.

Montreal's offense is only averaging 1.3 runs per game and batting .203 against lefties this season.

On the other side, San Diego Padres are hitting righty starters well. Averaging 5 runs per game and hitting .277.

Expos are 0-6 when playing against a team with a winning record

Recap: 4-1 (+9.19 units)
