Texas ML. Two units
Texas -1. Two units. Yes, my biggest loss recently was taking Darvish against the Tribe. But they're hot, and Darvish did pitch well. In fact, I still think he is one of the top 5 pitchers in the AL, or will be soon. Velocity with movement, great variance of speeds, and a variety of pitches to keep hitters guessing. Like King Felix, except with slower breaking pitches. This game looms big with CJ Wilson returning, whom always pitched better away from Arlington than at home- of course it is a hitter's park. But I think Darvish can match or better him for composure, the Rangers offense is far superior, and the Angels have 6 blown saves. Playoff atmosphere and the Rangers will be up for it(and at home). CJ was also not as good a playoff pitchers as a regular season pitcher. ML at -137 now on 5 Dimes. Good deal, I say. Also have a small bet on the RL- no units.

Seattle ML. Felix has always gotten up for Yankee Stadium games. He's a gamer. Mariners are hitting much better this year( 5 out of 6 vs.Detroit, that never happened last year), and hope to catch Yanks on a let down after the big Tampa series. Kuroda has slipped slightly this year(and last year), and at 37 maybe it's age. One unit.

Cleveland. ML. Can't believe Indians are underdogs here. At this point in the season, Red Sox are still overpriced, and Indians underpriced. Don't like Ubaldo very much, but Bucholz has been so dreadful, maybe he's injured. Indian bullpen has been golden. And the Tribe knocked around Beckett, can they do it again? Sox lineup is no longer feared. One unit

Oakland. ML. One unit. Tigers have struggled against soft tossers like Milone. A's have played better in recent 2 weeks, and Porcello is inconsistent. Not good career stats vs. A's. Detroit is also overpriced, as their lineup is struggling for the most part. Even after they score a lot of runs one night, seem to not score the next game.

Toronto. Again. Drabek is probably Toronto's 4th best starter, but other than one bad start, has pitched well. Blackburn never has a "good" start, maybe so-so, but god, is he only starting because the Twins have no other options? Maybe this is his last start after he gets bombed. Bottom half of Twin lineup is unrecognizable, and hits badly too. Mauer is not quite the same, and well… as I stated in yesterday's post, the Twins are awful from top to bottom. -1/2 first 5 innings for one unit.

Cubs. One unit. Garza can stifle this underachieving Brewer lineup. Randy Wolf has given up 47 hits in 32 innings. Ouch. -1/2 first 5 innings for 1 unit.

Maybe one more tomorrow. Good luck.

Twins run update. Last 10 games- runs scored by the Twins: 2 5 2 0 3 2 3 0 0 3. You would have won a fortune betting under on the Twins under Team Total.

Thanks to everyone for input and kind comments. One more play: Dodgers team total - over 4. One unit to the plus side. (almost 1.5) Moyer's ERA is deceptive. He has been getting hit hard- .324 batting avg. 5 homers in 33 innings. Rockies middle relief can also fan the flames. 4 is a good number, but it's at -115.

Not sure, but Moyer is the kind of pitcher that even lefties can wait on, get some walks, and let Moyer bring it up in the zone. His fastball tops out in the low 80s. Moyer's change-up, which used to be his money pitch, has been figured out by most hitters. Patience beats him.

Moyer's only good outings are vs. Pitt and SD, two weaklings. In his last 2 starts- 21 hits in 10 innings.

Two REALLY HOT hitters, keep an eye on them: Josh Hamilton and Robinson Cano. Can they be "pitched to"?

4-4, +2 units. YTD: 43-29, +26 units. I'll try to find ONE great pick Saturday …… That seems to be what works. Only one loss, of more than one unit, this past week- Texas @ Cleveland. Well, Darvish and Rangers made up for it tonight.
