Cant seem to get off the ground lately, at least were still in the + lets work with these:
1. CHW -1.5 EVEN
I went against Garland in his last start at the hot angels in Anaheim and he was lights out, coming home to pitch against KC, cant get much easier than that. Garland is only 1-2 but should be better given his 3.9 ERA, its just been a matter of the offense scoring runs for him, they should tonight against Odalis Perez one of the worst pitchers in the league at 2-3 with a 6+ ERA. Garlands last three starts vs this team have been spot on going 7, 7 and 6 innings in each allowing 1 ER in all three appearances. While Perez hasnt been terrible vs the sox he hasnt been good enough for the team to win yet and he appears to be able to give up 4 or 5 runs by himself and that 17-3 pasting by Oakland yesterday had to have burned the bullpen. Ill look for the chisox to score in bunches tonight. They are 17-4 over their last 21 vs KC. GO SOX
200/200
2. Florida -112
Granted I will admit the Nationals dont have much to hang their hats on this year, but Shawn Hill has been good and it wouldnt be a total surprise if he pitched well here, but everything else leans towards the fish here. The marlins are the 2nd highest scoring team in the league at 5.2 runs per game while the Nats are last at 2.9 runs. Over the games between these teams this year it has been very evident who the far superior team is with the fish winning 4 of 6 with two losses by one run with one of those coming with jorge julios meltdown in the wins they have won 6,6,6, and 7. Olsens ERA is inflated at nearly 5 because when he is bad he is really bad, this isnt a team that should give him much trouble. I will point out that these two teams have played 8 straight overs for what thats worth. The nats have only won one of their last 10 games and are only 3-7 vs lefties. Even with Hill on the mound I dont see unless he goes 8 strong that they can win this game.
168/150
