Im speechless as Atlanta couldnt hit up Astacio yesterday.Once the BPs were matched up I had a bad feeling.Anyhow:
Under 8.5 Baltimore/Cleveland (+103)
Ill start by mentioning that neither one of these teams are hitting very well.The Indians at .261 over the L7 and scoring an avg of 4.3 runs/g.Baltimore is batting .230 over the same frame and avg only 3.9 runs/g.Both teams hit RHP better than LHP and we have a LH/LH matchup today.These offenses will face two pitchers who are both pitching better than they have all year.Both are 3-0 in thier last 3 starts,Sabathia has an era 3.79 and whip of 1.37 in those starts,while Chen has been even better @ 2.29 era and .810 whip.The Indians bullpen is pretty stout but the O's BP worries me a bit.We need Chen to eat up some innings for sure but he has putting them away recently going 6+ in all of those 3 starts.Add to the mix no Belliard or Palmiero again,a pitchers ump and a pitchers park,the under is the play for me.
BOL.
