Sunday: 4-4, -1.9 units. It happened. The Yankees and Red Sox both get swept, favored in all 7 games. Makes me want to tread lightly in this part of the season. Baseball is a grind and trying to find winners is too.
SF: -1. 3 units. Vogelsong is almost unbelievable at home, and in general. Never pitches poorly, pitches just as well full wind up or stretch. Plus this Padres lineup has not seen him almost to a man. The Giants hit lefties well and have seen Clayton Richards many, many times. That familiarity thing. The Padres hit fairly well vs. some dreadful Houston, Rockies pitching- although Happ, Harrell and Friedrich all stymied them pretty well- so they're not exactly hot. Vogelsong is the best starter by far they've seen in a week. The Giants winning 2 out of 3 in Philly and Atlanta has got to help their confidence, and hit Hamels and Wandy lately, 2 lefties.
