CLE @ SEA under 9 -112

Two underrated pitchers, two rock solid bullpens, two bottom 10 offenses, in a pitcher friendly ballpark. Enough said. Both teams inconsistent offensively. Look at Cleveland's last two games. Yesterday they scored 5 in the first inning, then added only 1 in next 8 innings. The day before they scored 5 in first two innings, then failed to add another run in next 8 innings. On Wednesday they only managed 4 hits with no runs against Colon. As for Seattle, they are in a real slump, as they scored only one run in last 2 games. Actually they only scored one run in last 20 innings. In last 10 gms, they scored 2 runs or less 5 times ! This one should stay under 9.

LAD @ COL over 11

I'm not fulled by C.B.Bucknor's 3-1 to the under record so far this season. This ump has been one of the best 'over' umps in the league last two years (44-16). Despite the 3-1 'under' record, the strikeout/bb ratio has stil been very low (1.58) and the the average number of home runs per game has stil been rather high (2.25). He had similar numbers in previous two seasons but the over stil went 44-16. My numbers tell me that Chacon and Perez are not nearly as good as their numbers indicate. This should also be their taughest starts this year, venue and opponents wise. I know they have been pitching well in this matchup in the past, but this time around it will be different. LAD are 'due' to put some runs on the board, and the Rockies are finally showing some offensive flashes lately.
