playing toronto (-1.5) (+120)
playing philadelphia under 8 (-110)
devil rays coming off a big series against boston. really not sure if sonnanstine is the guy they want on the hill in what could be a letdown game. by no means am i trying to say there are letdown games in the truest sense in mlb, especially with a cellar dwellar like tampa. but for a team like the devil rays, bringing a team like boston to town is one of the few times where they can get 'up' for home games and draw halfway decent crowds and play games with intensity. they went deep into extras saturday night and then had a pitchers duel for the most part yesterday. really think if toronto can get on the board early, this game could open up. mcgowan hasnt been involved in many 1-run games this year at all. he either brings it ... or he doesnt. and since throwing that 1-hitter against colorado, he's been pretty solid save for a start against boston and seattle on the road. tend to think this one is a 7-4 toronto win.
was set to play philly under the 7.5. went to log in and bet it. and i was pleased to see the line hit 8 even. thats a more playable number even though i think theres 6 runs max in this game. two very good lefthanders going tonight. and i think this is the kind of games where utley's absence starts to show. no disrespect to the pesky nationals, but chicago is not washington and runs will be much tougher to come by sans utley.
