Record: 31-34 -3.01 Units
2 Unit Plays: 3-0

Sorry for the crappy days the last two times out. It will turn around.

ChicagoWS/TB Under 9.5 -120
Pitchers: Vazquez/Niemann

Vazquez is throwing well and TB is a pretty average hitting team right now. They are relying on big innings but against a solid veteran like Vazquez it might never happen. Niemann looked excellent throughout spring and his first start and with the White Sox not hitting, he's a good bet to have success again.

Cleveland Indians -115
Pitchers: Lee/Liriano

Liriano is being rushed back and his velocity wasn't even close to normal last time out. I doubt much has changed in a week and the Indians should be able to put up some runs. Lee has looked dominant in his two starts this season and although I don't expect this to be as easy as the Oakland games, he should still put in a nice effort.

Seattle Mariners +150

Pitchers: Dickey/Saunders

Saunders has started off really well but this is the second time the Mariners have seen him in the last week or so and he should be more hittable this time around. Dickey had a very nice spring and seems to have a really good grip on his knuckle ball right now. He has had success against some of these Angels before and I think he throws a nice one here.

Kansas City Royals -115
KC/Oakland Under 8 -110
2 Unit Play on the Under

Pitchers: Bannister/Gaudin

Oakland can't hit anything and Bannister is pitching incredibly right now. It's extremely likely he shuts out the A's. Gaudin is a good bet for success right now before he tails off again but KC isn't putting many runs on the board at all and at home, I like his chances. I see this one being 3-1 or 2-0 Royals.

NL stuff coming next.

Washington Nationals +100
Pitchers: Miller/Hill

How can you not take the Nats? Miller has gotten rocked by them once this year and can't get anyone out. Hill is recovering from an injury and hasn't looked that good in rehab starts, but if says he is ready to pitch than I believe him. He dominated in Florida last year and if he's close to 100%, he should do so again.
