My last day before my vacation was a bad one. Lost a couple really tough games and if not for my vacation I likely would have been on tilt. Still kind of was, but fortunately I didn't play anything for the first couple days. Started up again a couple days ago and finished off my vacation with a 4-0 day yesterday. I'm hoping I can get right back on track today after a nice relaxing vacation.
Pittsburgh -117: I think Marquis's last two starts against the Cards have created an image among the public that he is a better pitcher than he is. But he's not playing his old team this time around. While Marquis has had success against the Pirates in the past, it has not been against an offense this good, especially considering that LaRoche hasn't started hitting yet.
Pittsburgh has played solid all year while the Cubs have more often than not looked awful. In this game, the Pirates will be at home and will be sending their ace to the mound. And the public still refuses to give him respect in my opinion. Snell has given up 4 earned runs in his last 28 innings pitched (6 on the season) and is sporting some extremely impressive numbers on the year that just can't be argued with. 1.17 units to win 1.
Milwaukee -138: Nobody is playing better than the Brewers right now and tonight they'll be facing a pitcher who has consistently been overvalued this year in my opinion. Anthony Reyes came into this season with expectations of serious improvements over last year. But we haven't seen any and batters are hitting him pretty hard so far this season (.265 BAA - .286 BAA on the road). I like this hot young Brewers offense to keep it going today against Reyes.
Capuano will be taking the hill for Milwaukee in this one. He's been very consistent so far this year and should be able to put up another quality start today against an offense that just hasn't started clicking yet. 1.38 units to win 1.
NY Yankees -144: The Yankees' downfall has been all the talk in sports the past week or two. And I think we're seeing the effect of that tonight in Texas. Pettitte has been the most solid and consistent pitcher on the Yankees' staff this year by far. Getting him at under -150 is a huge steal against this weak Rangers team.
I don't know if the public really thinks Tejeda is a good young pitcher or what. But I feel confident that he doesn't have nearly the stuff to shut down this NY offense. 1.44 units to win 1.

I still have a lot of work to do on the other games, but I currently have leans on Florida, Minnesota, Cleveland, Detroit, LAA, SD, and Oakland. BOL to everyone on their cards today.
