Atlanta -128 (3 units)....despite injuries, Atl just keeps hanging in there in the East, and a big part of that is their 18-9 home record and the emergence of Davies, the starter tonight. Now, I'm not convinced this guy is for real, but the 1st time thru the league is key. No one has figured him out, yet, and there's a need for the bettor to capitilize on this. I've seen guys like this get shelled after getting exposure, but I believe we're safe for now. Believe even with a "makeshift" lineup, they can hit Haren. Dan Haren has gotten plenty of run support his last two outings (don't get used to it), but I don't think he'll ever become a top notch starter. he's been good recently, but don't think he's consistant enough to depend on for 7 IP 2 ER each start. Believe he's more of a spot starter/long reliever. He's helped by pitching in a pitchers ballpark in Oakland, but he never struck me as a future star when he was with my beloved Cards. And the Braves have seen this guy a few times, so they have a better scouting report than Oak does on Davies.

Toronto -119 (2 units)...2 trends that I see ending tonight. First off, gotta fade "Wandy' once again. This guy is foolin' NOBODY. This has been a long roadtrip for the Jays, but they have a great opprtunity to turn it around, especially at the plate tonight. They gotta feel good that they are in the thick of things as they head back home next week. Also see the Stros' going back to being the Stros after winning 2 of 3 vs. the NY Mets. Lilly hasn't been anything special, but he's atleast looking like an "average" MLB Pitcher. about a month ago, this guy looked finished, and e was an All Star just one year ago. And as the case usually is with the Astros, an average pitcher can look very good vs. Houston.

Pittsburgh -1 1/2 (+127) (1 unit)...Add bad pitching + spotty defense and you get the 2005 edition of the Tampa Bay D Rays. Guess these guys know Pinella won't be there past this yr, so no reason to fear him. Pirates looked good vs. the 1st place team in the AL East, now they play the worst. Redman looked damn good the last 2, and good all year at home. Pittsburgh is really playing hard for McClendon, and have been getting the early lead in games, unlike early in the season. TB is a poor 4-26 on the road and have lost 10 of 11 overall. Pitt has won 7 of 10 and have who I consider their "Ace" on the mound tonight.

Washington -133 (1 unit)...This matchup looks great on paper, but only 1 unit this time because they've burned me earlier in the year because they didn't hit well. Man, i've missed out on 7 straight wins, hate missing out on a streak. Let's get on board for the 8th. Gonna dismiss Ohka's last start, bad matchup for him last time vs. Fla. Too many guys in that lineup who have hit him well. He battled though, and actually turned his back on Robinson for pulling him. I don't expect any hangover from that incident. He'll be fine tonight. Can't say the same for Pineiro, He doesn't usually give up homers, just linedrive after linedrive. Wash isn't a big power club, but they CAN string hits together and be aggressive on the bases at times. Ohka seems to like "the mound".
