Selections still pending: (Let me here your take on these)

Orioles +129....Guthrie 7-3 2.89 ERA with Wakefield's ERA rising ever since the season started. Last time Guthrie faced Boston he let up 3 hits with a an unearned run and 91 pitches into the 9th inning, even though getting the loss.:money8:

Angels -101....Saunders is 4-0 3.16 ERA and is 2-0 on the road with a 1.98 ERA....He faced the A's his first game in April and received a ND, but since that game the Angels have won every game he pitched in going 6-0 and receiving much run support. The last time Gaudin faced the Angels he went 3.2 innings with 5 ER and lucked out to get a ND because his bullpen and team helped him out by beating the Angels 12-6. This will not happen this time with the Angels coming back for revenge and facing an Oakland team that is just pulling by wins on the fall of Detroit's pitching.:money8:

Rangers +140....With Gabbard on the mound, his team is 5-2 and he has a 4-0 record himself with a 3.73 ERA. He is facing a falling Cleveland lineup that only has 4 hits against him total out of 20 AB. Coming from Boston, Gabbard is no stranger to the Indians lineup, which makes him confident on the mound. Westbrook is an embarrasing 1-6 with an ERA just under 6. He is 1-4 in July and is showing no path for improvement with a very inconsistent season overall. The Rangers are coming off a decent win against Cleveland and are ready to shut them down for the sweep. The value on this game is too much to pass up, seeing the statistics to back it up and what a better way to do than with a pitcher that is having a stud season!!:money8:

Let me hear what everyone's take are on these games!!

One thing to consider is that Cleveland just saw Gabbard last week in this same venue. The Red Sox teed of on Lee, but Gabbard was unable to get through the 5th inning. Gabbard struggled throwing stikes in that game. As a result, I don't think it's accurate to say that he's confidant against this lineup.

yeah but the last two times Westbrook has faced the Rangers at the Jake, he has allowed 16 hits and 8 ER's in 12.0 innings.

I just put entered a posistion on the Red Sox as the line continues to drop. No denying that Guthrie has been impressive, but I think the market is over quantifying the sustainability factor here. I don't mind backing the knuckleball in today's conditions, and the absence of Hernandez leaves just two hitters with success against this pitch and a few key hitters who can't pick it up well.

I like the Angels, but unless the line goes up a bit more, I won't play it. Gaudin's walk propensity is the last thing against an Angels team that will run all night, but fatigue may be a factr for the Angels after last night.


Not sure why you were only able to get +140 on the Rangers, as you could have gotten 30 cents more at a lot of shops. At +140 I don't like them. At +170, I am indifferent. The reason why they don't have the value they had the last two games in my opinion is because I am just not bullish on Gabbard. He won't overpower you, and relies on his delivery and being hard to pick up to get by. Once teams get used to him, he will be overmatched. Facing the Indians just last week takes the novelty factor out of the equation.

Best of luck.
