Couple of Quick Writeups on the 1st two games
Phillies @ Marlins
Marlins fresh off of a sweep of the Devil Rays will get a much tougher opponent tonight. But the Marlins have absolutely OWNED the Phillies over the last 2 years and they start the D-Train tonight who is coming off of his 1st loss on the west coast trip. He's back at home, where he is dominant. I love betting on Dontrelle because it's such an advantage for a team to have a pitcher that can hit. Phillies are unable to walk the 8hole guy and Dontrelle has just a good of a chance at getting a big 2-out hit with men on as anyone. Lieber has been overachieving all year long, and this price was real nice for Dontrelle. The one thing I would avoid is playing the Marlins on the 5-inning line because more times than not, a pitcher will take his last outing with him to the mound in the 1st inning of the next game. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dontrelle have some trouble in the 1st inning. But he has owned Philly this year in 2 starts, and I think he gives 7 strong innings tonight.
White Sox @ Angels
I normally would think this is a good spot for Garland to lose his 1st, but the heart and soul of this Angels lineup (Vlad) is out, and the opposing pitcher is making just his 2nd big league start after a rough 1st outing. White Sox find ways to win, and this is a great price to get Garland at.
