</TBODY></TABLE>

Lastly for anyone interested in which, if any, of the starting pitchers are going tonight, there are three set to take the mound for their respective club's:

Cards Wainwright at Pittsburgh.
Rangers Feldman at Baltimore.
Tampa's Niemann verses Detroit.

!~~~!

Relating to the chart above:

Team Record = Record behind starting pitcher
Units W/L = Based on 100 units per game

Thanks Ivan. Is there a big money pitcher on that list?

Just goes to show that you've gotta be one step ahead to find value.

Makes total sense. Vegas knows the public gets excited when they see something like CC vs. a nobody. Good luck finding an ounce of value when the hottest big name pitchers are up. Ain't that easy. You gotta dig and find the gems.

You're very welcome Michelangelo. Pertaining to your big money pitcher question, they just list the top 5 in each league.
