Well, Jason Schmidt throwing one hit ball and the Padres only getting 2 hits the entire game wasn't enough to get a win on the Dodgers last night.

0-1 -1

Record: 137-140
Profit: +5.11

Chicago Cubs -102
Pitchers: Zambrano/Suppan

Z is just too good of a pitcher to not lower his ERA and WHIP substantially. He should throw a nice one today.

Philadelphia Phillies +166
Pitchers: Eaton/Orlando

Hernandez has had possibly the easiest schedule this year to pitch against and the Phillies are no joke. Eaton should enjoy a bigger park. Value on the dog.

Minnesota Twins +190
Twins/Angels Under 7.5 -110

Pitchers: Slowey/Lackey

This one won't be easy for the Twins to put up runs, but I don't see Anaheim doing much on offense either. As I said last time I had Slowey, he doesn't have great stuff but he has good stuff and incredible command. Vlad may hit him but I don't think any other Angels will. 2-1 final, value on the +190.

Cleveland Indians -1.5 -115
Pitchers: Bannister/Byrd

Indians should hurt Bannister early, really hurt the Royals' bullpen late.

Oakland Athletics +119
Boston/Oakland Under 9 -115

Pitchers: Kennedy/Wakefield

Boston doesn't hit as well on the road. Boston doesn't hit as well against lefties. I don't see them scoring many runs here.

For all the bitching I do about predicting a game perfectly and still losing on some BS, the fact that the Twins won deserves some recognition as well. No f-ing way would I ever have thought that Slowey would get hit hard and the Twins still win against Lackey. Sometimes being completely wrong works out well.
