Record: 14-23 -10.85

I swear I used to be good at this sport.

Chicago Cubs +156
Pitchers: Coleman/Hammel

Both starting pitchers always give up runs and both teams are hitting. Colorado is at home but has no business being this large of a favorite with Hammel on the mound against a capable team.

I can't go against a team that has won 7 in a row, but good luck.

Arizona Diamondbacks -101
DBacks/Giants Under 10.5 +105
Pitchers: Saunders/Zito

Zito has not performed well in Arizona and the Diamondbacks are hitting. Zito won't likely get rocked but he'll give up 3-4 runs. Saunders is iffy to back but the Giants aren't hitting all that well and they haven't touched lefties this year. I also like the fact that SF has never seen Saunders' stuff. Looks like a 5-3 Arizona win.

On a random side note, 5Dimes has U10.5 +105 on their normal lines and U10 -102 on their reduced juice lines. Bastards almost tricked me!

Tigers/Athletics Under 6.5 +108
Pitchers: Verlander/Braden

I just don't see any way that either team scores here. Verlander is a stud and the A's aren't hitting. Braden dominates when at home and the Tigers aren't hitting. Someone is winning a 2-0 or 2-1 type of game.

Your are funny Jake(I swear I use to be good at this sport). The cubs are capable? You are kidding right? They have Coleman going that is why they are -170. I appreciate your humor on the forum, but the cubs are god awful.
