2-0, +3.37 units. Now close to even. Seems like many starters are guys that would languish in AAA, but are filling in due to the huge amount of pitching injuries this year. Case in point:

NYY -1 (+105). One unit. Hector Noesi still is living on his perceived stuff. It's good, but he always makes mistakes serving up meatballs that get him in trouble. He's the king of 0-2 middle of the strike zone pitches that get hammered. Texas kept him about 2-3 weeks, Seattle even less. Kuroda has been consistent this year although not as solid across the board. He can give the Yanks 6+ innings, and their BP isn't good, but the Sox have an even worse one.

Arizona ML (+121) One unit. Chase Anderson might be an emerging star and boy does Arizona need it. His stuff and poise are excellent for a kid. Colon is finally showing his age this year, and the D-Backs have been a team that rarely hits very good pitchers(recently Wainwright, Wacha, Greineke), but has had success against lesser pitchers like Colon. And they aren't too bad on the road.

Cleveland ML (+140). One unit. The Indians are flat out hitting in the past week or so, knocking around some good pitchers. Also, TJ House makes his first major league start. He has pitched well at AAA and has paid his minor league dues. Veteran minor leaguers seem to pitch well in early starts of the mlb careers (after that, it's a mixed bag).

NYY -139. ML (First 5) One unit. Noesi won't last 4 innings. White Sox miss Abreu.

Seattle RL (-105) one unit. Never thought I'd ever take Seattle on a RL play, but Rudy Owens, the Astro emergency pitcher, has been getting absolutely lit up in AAA. In his last 2 starts, over 8 IPS, 13 runs and 20 hits. Even the Mariners can hit this guy. Plus King Felix is on the mound tonight and the Mariners have lost 2 games with him on the mound this year. He'll be up for this game.
