Arizona +1.24 over LOS ANGELES<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
D-Backs may have lost last night by a lopsided score but in case you missed it, they hit the ball hard and had tons of opportunities to break the game open early. Call it a frustrating night and a one that happens to everyone. The good news is they were getting on base with 11 hits and five walks but just four of the 16 base-runners scored. The D-Backs offense is a good one and should have little trouble getting to Aaron Sele here. Sele started well but is beginning to labor and the guy is just not that good. In is 14 years in the majors he’s had four good years and three of those were in his first three years. His ERA was up over 5.00 in each of the last three seasons and pitching for Seattle last year his ERA was 5.66. The second half will catch up to Sele, it always does. Enrique Gonzalez has allowed just 26 hits in 38 innings and is coming off a gem against the Mariners. The opposition is hitting just .187 off Gonzalez, thus giving us a very good shot to cash this ticket. Play: Arizona +1.24 (Risking 1.5 units).

WASHINGTON –1.08 over Florida (1:05 PM)<o:p></o:p>
The Nationals, whether they’re winning or losing, have been about the streakiest team in the majors and right now they’re heating up again with three wins in a row while scoring 19 runs in the process. Chances are good they won’t need to score more than two or three tonight to beat the Marlins with John Patterson throwing. Patterson is the straight goods despite getting knocked out early against Toronto in his last start. Patterson has struck out 37 batters in 34 innings and has walked just seven. Five of his six starts have been on the road but in his one home start the Braves hit just .192 off him. He threw eight innings against the Marlins back in April and struck out 13 Fish while allowing just one run. Meanwhile, the Marlins are coming back down to earth with four losses in their past five games and they’re also laboring at the plate. They managed to score just one last night on Pedro Astacio, a guy that doesn’t have much and hasn’t for years. Florida has scored just 15 runs in their past five games and things don’t figure to get easier this afternoon. Play: Washington –1.08 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).

L.A. Angels +1.19 over SEATTLE<o:p></o:p>
Gil Meche is having a terrific year but we’re not even close to being convinced this guy has suddenly turned his average career around that dramatically. Meche has a lifetime ERA of 4.57 in 5½ years and has never been anything more than a third or fourth starter. The Angels have lost twice to him already this year but it’s not like he was fooling anyone. They Angels scored six runs and stroked 13 base hits in 10.1 innings of Meche but he picked up the wins because his friends scored a bunch more. Earvin Santana enters the game with a personal four-game winning streak over his last five starts in which he had a 2.48 ERA and limited opponents to a .196 batting average. When he’s on the mound the Angels win much more times than they lose and we don’t see that changing here. Play: L.A. Angels +1.19 (Risking 1.5 units).

CLEVELAND –1.05 over NY Yankees<o:p></o:p>
This one really doesn’t need much breaking down; it’s pretty much self-explanatory. If Shawn Chacon were wearing any other uniform besides the Yankees he’d be about 1.80 pooch every time he stepped on the hill. Chacon is as big a stiff as there is in the business and the worst part about his game is that he can’t throw strikes. He’s constantly behind in the count and you have to be an exceptional pitcher to get away with that and Chacon doesn’t even remotely qualify. He’s already walked more than he’s struck out and his 5.68 ERA is extremely flattering. Offensively, the Yanks are tough as can be but they’re going to have to score a bunch tonight to overcome Chacon and while it’s possible, the fact is the Yankees are wrongly favored in this one. Play: Cleveland –1.05 (Risking 1.58 units to win 1.5).

CLEVELAND/NY Yankees over 10 –1.04<o:p></o:p>
For the reasons mentioned above we’re also going to play this one over the total because the chances of the Yankees winning and this one staying under the total are slim at best. Should the Yankees win they’re likely going to need to score a bunch because of that stiff they have chucking and thus, this one just makes sense. Hell, the Indians can score 10 on their own tonight. Play: Over 10 –1.04 (Risking 1.56 units to win 1.5).

all look do-able except the Cleveland total might be tough, even with these stiffs. Hirschbeck is behind the dish and it's a twilight start... GL man....

Yeah, it's 12-1 in the fifth. Mark it paid.
Chacon actually lasted longer than expected. He was yanked in the second.

Yeah Elvis but the problem is you're reading yesterday's games and if you had bothered to read the write-ups you would have realized that.

Perhaps I'm wasting my time by writing up and should just post the games.
Interesting.
