Boxslayer's MLB Wednesday (28-21, +13.70)

Boxslayer · Apr 18, 2007

28-21, +13.70

3 straight losing days after the D-Backs failed to score 1 run in 5 innings last night to prevent a big winning day. Not catching many breaks right now. Trying to get back on track tonight.

3* Cleveland Indians +122

Automatic 3* here off the blowout loss to NY last night. Love teams to either bounceback or play the under after a lop-sided victory. I would never play an under in a Yankees/Indians game. So, at +122 and with Jeremy Sowers on the mound, I think this is a solid bet. Indians are not a bad road team, and have been playing well on the road lately (4-2 last 6). Sowers is the better pitcher and better lefty here and the Indians still possess baseball's #1 hitting team on the road. Wouldn't be surprised to see Cleveland win a lop-sided one here tonight.

Cleveland 6
New York 3

Glad to see you on this one as well, nice spot for Sowers to pick up his first Win of the year. Damn that DBacks loss was frustrating, lost a key RBI guy in the 4th in Owings haha.

Hey box I was about to head out soon and was wondering if you were planning on putting anything else up so I could check back.

4* Diamondbacks/Padres under 7.5 -120

This is like an under wet dream... Webb pitching at Petco. Petco is one of the best under parks in baseball, as the Padres play game after game with little runs scored in their home park. Under is 26-9-2 in SD last 37 home games. The chances of this staying a low game increase with Brandon Webb coming to town off a disappointing outing, he has a great park to bounceback in. Another good part of this play is it may be time for David Wells to have a good outing. One of those shut down outings he gives every now and then, as he pitches well at home. Under is 4-1 in Wells' last 5 home starts. Arizona Diamondbacks are off a game in which they went ice cold hitting 2nd half of the game last night and that should carry over into this game as they are the worst team in baseball against lefties. Arizona bats about .170 vs. lefties, and the truth is they just dont play well in San Diego. Diamondbacks are 10-22 in the last 32 meetings in San Diego.
With Trevor Hoffman in one bullpen and the National League save leader Jose Valverde in the other, this is an 8 inning game to get to 8 runs, which obviously means they will have to average 1 run per inning. I don't see it happening.

Like my Yankees/Indians over last night, this should be a 5* play, but the juice has brought this down a unit.

Under is 12-5-1 in ARI last 18 road games.

Arizona 3
San Diego 2
