2-1 Thursday. One loser was Janssen blowing the Jays streak. The guy is a great usually- oh well.
NYY-1 (+103) Two units. Nolasco has been just getting shelled on the road(8.63 ERA) and especially vs. LH dominated lineups(.350 BAA vs. LH)like the Yankees. Add the short dimensions of Yankee stadium, and he's got problems. I never liked his game so maybe I'm biased, but he got his money and now… he's the old Ricky again. Nuno throws a wide array of junk, 6 pitches in fact. He has shown improvement in his last 2 starts, and his command is improving likewise. He has a strange pitching motion, the Twins have never seen him, and he should get a couple times through the order before his effectiveness wears off. Besides the Twins can't hit as of late, no power, lineup full of holes, etc. Only batting .179 the past week.
Texas ML +161. One unit. The Rangers are crushing the ball and Strasburg is good, but he has had problems with teams that are known for being tough at the plate. Colby Lewis has been mediocre, but the Nats are slumping… again… and Lewis might benefit getting away from the DH lineups of the AL. No way this line should be +161.
