Don't have final record for Tuesday, but it's looking bad.

Wednesday: Going against 2 teams that look to be streaky bad right now. What happened to the Rockies? They can occasionally score some runs, but everything else is going to hell. Even their once vaunted offense is now looking very average. And the pitching is atrocious. They look extremely dispirited and lost. Zambarano vs. White is a great matchup for Miami.

As for the A's, they were hitting a week or two ago, now they are the proverbial blind squirrel that can't find a nut. Facing Jered Weaver will not help. Rookie Parker is going to be good some day, but right now, he is struggling with command and control. 13 walks in his last 14 innings.

Miami:2 units first 5 innings -1/2
Also one unit -1

Angels: Two units -1. One unit first 5 innings.

YTD: ? Will update tomorrow.

Small play on both on the RL.

One unit Atlanta TT over 4. Many of the Braves in tonight's lineup hit Arroyo hard, who can give up HRs in droves. Arroyo started the year pitching well, but has now slipped back in last 2 starts. Actually gives up more HRs at home than on the road. Arroyo vs. Atlanta is .329 lifetime with 19 HRs in 77 innings. That's a HR every 4 innings. Atlanta has proven they can hit on the road.

One unit on STL -1/2 first 5 innings. This is the best bet in this game, SD having the better bullpen. SD goes through little spurts of hitting, like a week ago, and we are lulled into them possibly showing some penchant for winning. Now they are back in their usual funk, striking out a lot and basically killing rallies. Lynn is coming off 2 mediocre starts and this is the right lineup to right the ship. Suppan cannot strike out a hitter because his stuff is so poor. He gets ground balls if he's got it going good(or in Petco). But the St. Louis hitters know him well. Even though the Cards are missing Berkman and Jay, their bench can fill in nicely.
