Talk about two pitchers who aren't what they used to be. Lincecum used to be a cy young candidate year after year and Beckett was one of the most feared pitchers in all of baseball. Now they are both middle to back of the rotation guys who can still be effective but certainly aren't in the same class as some of the great pitchers in baseball which is why the number 7 is key. The total was 7 in the opener for Seattle/Oakland when it was Hernandez against Anderson in a big ball park. These offenses definatly have more than enough pop to put up runs and these pitchers have been known to leave balls over the plate and give up the longball. This is my favorite play on the board today.
Detroit UNDER 8.5 -110
11 to win 10
Another cold day in Minny today with the game time temp expected to be around 36 degrees. Anibal Sanchez had a pretty average year last year posting a 9-13 record with an ERA of 3.86 but he gets a break with this Minny line-up who if he can avoid giving up hits to Mauer, Willingham and Morneau theres really not much there. On the other side we have Kevin Correia who comes to Minny after spending his whole career in the NL. Outside of Fielder (25 ABs) and Cabrera (19 ABs) the rest of the team has very limited amounts of ABs against him (39 total). If these guys can keep the ball in the yard I see another 4-2 or 4-3 kinda game.
Toronto -1.5 +105
20 to win 21
Lets call this the knuckleball effect. In starts after Dickey last year the Mets went 18-16 with a 2.32 ERA. Bringing in the fireballer after seeing the knuckleballer clearly has an effect on timing and hiting. Enter Brandon Morrow. He's been the real ace on this Blue Jays team for the last couple of seasons. He averages over a strikeout per inning over the past three seasons and that number could climb this year. This potent Jays line up will bounce back tonight after the disappointing opening night.
Boston +105
20 to win 21
My how the Bronx Bombers have fallen... Outside of Cano, Nunez and Gardiner the Yanks are full of average players (youkilis, overbay, wells, etc.). This will change if and when we see the returns of Granderson, Jeter, A-rod, and Texeira but for now it seems like its time to fade. Bucholtz has an above average arm who throws strikes and can definatly get these guys out. Cano has hit 12/25 against Clay for a .480 AVG but he cannot do it alone. Sox make it two in a row.
Washington -1.5 -125
25 to win 20
Its Gio Gonzalez's turn to have a go at this pathetic Marlins line-up. Strasburgh and the pen held this Marlins line-up to just 3 hits on Monday and Bryce Harper hit two solo homers to win 2-0. I just dont see how Miami is going to manufacture runs this year with the line-up they're gonna put out there every day. Gio throws a gem today and hopefully more than Harper get involved for the Nats and it should be an easy win.
That will be it for the day! Fade of follow good luck today everyone!
