MLB 'Guess the Line' Challenge for 9/1's Lines (EVERYONE is welcome to play)

CLOSEST TO THE 8/31 opening lines RESULTS:

SF: M. Morris +170
ATL: J. Smoltz -178 (Trapstar -170)

FLA: D. Willis +106
STL: J. Suppan -114 (doubleparring -120)

KC: J. De La Rosa +295
MIN: J. Santana -325 (bznofx19 -323)

BAL: D. Cabrera +116
TEX: A. Eaton -124 (trapstar -135)

the object of the game is simple. I will list 5 games (w/ listed starters) and you guys try to guess what the line is going to be...not what it SHOULD be neccessarily. The winners are the people that were the closest to each line.

if there is a pitching change on any of these games, that game will be voided from this contest.

this contest is also a great tool for baseball betting because you should all be doing this anyways

here's a line for this post:
