I guess I'm trying to force it maybe. I found this on the Yanks and it's making me think. Mabye I'll just do Toronto and Tigers.

5* (963) NY Yankees at Braves: Have to back the powerful visiting offense here. A reliable start goes for NY, which is a key with this team, because the offense is loaded, ranked 2nd in the AL in runs, first in slugging an even 5th in steals. The slumping Atlanta offense has never faced hard throwing Joba Chamberlain before (3-2, 3.89 ERA). Atlanta won a series Monday in a make-up game with the Cubs, but take a closer look: The Braves have gone 1-5-3 in their last nine series. And this is a tough stretch, facing the Yankees, Boston Red Sox and defending champion Philadelphia Phillies over the next 9 days. This Atlanta offense has struggled all season, ranked 11th in the NL in runs and 9th in OBP. Have to back the talented and balanced visitors. Play the NY Yankees

Overall ... I think this is a very tough schedule today.
I think the lines are are pretty tough and don't see much value in the games tonight.
... I will be heading out soon (have a bunch of errands to run).
Good luck to everyone tonight.
I will be back after the game to celebrate or cry (hopefully celebrate).

You caught me right before I was about to head out the door.
I am playing the Orioles small tonight.
No play on the Rangers/DBacks for me.
I think the Rangers could pull it off but it's hard to go against a solid pitcher like Haren and the DBacks are starting to hit the ball really well.
good luck
Good Luck JB. You're hot and I like the pick. Arroyo is prone to giving up long balls and with the Dome open and the weather incredibly humid, the balls might be flying out of there tonight.
It could be an easy over play, as Richmond has been hit very hard at home on numerous occassions. 8½ seems like a very low number to me.
