feel very good about this set of games. we'll see how it goes.
texas (+175)
chicago cubs under 9 (+105)
cleveland (-170)
putting my money where my mouth is with texas (or more specifically, against kenny rogers). this line is silly for the pitching matchup. this is the kind of number id expect detroit to be laying with bonderman/verlander against one of the texas 3/4/5 mutant starters. but ill go so far as to say the better pitcher is the dog here. of course, detroit is the better team. and millwood will have his hands full with the potent detroit lineup. but really feel like millwood can limit the tigers to 3 or less.
zambrano has been absolutely lights out since getting in the dugout brawl. the basis of this under bet is simple. betting a hot pitcher to shut down a colorado lineup that hasnt done much the last 4 or 5 games. takes away some 9th inning rallies and the rocks are struggling to score.
right now, carmona and sabathia are carrying the indians. the back part of the rotation is shaky at best but the cleveland 1/2 punch is nails. carmona has allowed more than 3 runs just once in his last 11 starts. really dont see oakland getting past that plateau against him. they have the kind of lineup that is tailor-made for his ground ball style of pitching.
