Thursday: Reds finish off Indians

Will update my YTD this Friday. Too busy.

Reds: Indians are losing momentum as the Reds are getting some. Leake has been pitching more effectively in last 5 starts- only 1 homer. He adds an extra bat too. Tomlin is another guy who always looks like he can blow up in any game. If batters lay off the crap below the strike zone, he'll serve up something easy to hit. Reds, especially Votto, can hit right-handers like Tomlin. -1. Two units
Reds -1/2 first 5 innings. one unit

Detroit: Hard to get a RL on this. Verlander is such a competitor that maybe the books are worried no one will take the Cubs. Verlander has faced 3 straight tough teams, has 3 losses in a row, and I think this is a domination game you'll see tomorrow. Travis Wood has given up 7 HRs, and a 1/2 walk SO ratio in 28 IPs. He can get lefties out, but struggles with right handed batters. Tigers can line up the righties, switch hitters, and have a few lefties who can hit LHPs well.
RL. 2 units.

Oakland. ML one unit.
Oakland -1/2 first 5 innings. one unit

STL/ CWS - over first 5 innings (probably at 5) one unit

Minnesota TT. One unit. (probably 4.5)

With u on the Reds & CWS Over. Best of luck!

FYI Ur Twins TT play doesn't list over or under.

Twins are an over, but it's at 5. The STL/ CWS over 4 (-135) is a better bet.

One unit Pirates. TT over 4. Many Pirates are trending up in batting average, and McCutchen kills lefties at .456. Hunter is guaranteed almost to give up a few runs, and the Oriole BP is not as good as its stats.

Yes! St. Louis scored with 2 outs in the fifth. Freaking Gavin Floyd was on the rocks all game, but it took a 2 out single in the 5th to get this one. Meanwhile the pathetic White Sox are making Westbrook look like Nolan Ryan. Tomorrow they face Kershaw. Put them down for a zero.

In all seriousness Fred, you are a talented handicapper. It is not just your record but your deeper understanding of the game. Thank you for sharing. BOL always.
