Break Down of Friday Value Games...

Oakland A's +120
Great value on a hot team...The rays are simply not hitting at all, especially Left Handed pitching..The devil rays are hitting under .230 in their last 10. The A's have been getting great starting pitching and have gone 9-1 in their last 10, to the rays 2-8..Shields is a very good pitcher, however i just dont see the devil rays scoring enough runs to win this game

National League

Pittsburgh Pirates -102
Simply backing a hot team against two sub-par pitchers..The pirates are 7-1 in their last 8 road games, and has owned the Astros as of late, going 7-2 in their last 9..Snell has already beat the Astros this year in houston..

Pirates are 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. a right-handed starter.
Astros are 2-5 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Arizona Diamondbacks -106
Even though the Dbacks didn't play as well as i expected against the brewers, i will back them against the cubs..The cubs have struggled in Arizona, loosing 21 out of 27 games in Arizona. Marshall lost to Arizona at home, and Owings beat the cubs in Chicago...

Cubs are 2-5 in Marshall's last 7 starts.
Diamondbacks are 10-3 in their last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Milwaukee Brewers +106
Even though the brewers are on a recent slide, they showed signs of comming out of it in arizona.. They have been hitting left handed pitchers very well as of late..Lowry has pitched great at home this season, i just think the brewers will continue to own the Giants..

Giants are 4-9 in their last 13 games vs. a right-handed starter.
Brewers are 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter

San Diego Padres +103
I will have to admit, i am very suprised this team played so well in New York..The Phillies are simply, slumping right now, and it is very difficult to back Kyle Lohse..Even though Maddux hasn't pitched great on the road, i think the padres will knock Moyer out of the game, exposing the Phils horrendous bullpen

LA Dodgers +105
Even though the Dodgers have struggled to produce runs as of late, they have hit left handed pitching well as of late..Penny is great on the road. He has a Team W/L of 9-1 and a 2.58 ERA on the road..Penny is 11-1 during his last 12 road starts..

Dodgers are 11-3 in their last 14 road games vs. a left-handed starter
