Just been a frustrating year to date. I still have a long way to go and I will keep chugging along with the foreseeable future. Going with the card tonight and hope to get the week off to a nice start:
Atlanta/NYM Over 7 (-115)- I think the total is set a little low with two offenses that are functioning well tonight even with two very good arms on the hill. Santana has been incredible, but the Braves have scored 4 runs or more in their last five games and hit 28 points higher against LHP. They hit Santana actually quite well last year, they just didn't cash in. The Mets have hit .303 over their last 10 games and I feel confident they can continue that tonight against Lowe. Only takes 3 from each and I think we will get that tonight.
Arizona -123- Arizona has been horrible to date, but I think they are starting to get some value and tonight is one of those occasions. Arroyo has been very poor this year with a 7.15 ERA and balls will also be in play against him and that is a good thing for the strikeout prone Snakes. Garland has finally found himself with a 1.20 WHIP in his last three starts and the Reds have too many holes in their lineup to sustian the production they have put up of late.
Washington +140- I know Johnson has been very good at home, but I think this is giving the Giants too much creidt. The Nats are 3-2 on their road trip and they can hit and have a pretty deep lineup with power options at multiple places. Cabrera has been very poor thus far, but he has the raw stuff to really dominate a Giants lineup that isn't very good. The Giants, much like the Reds, are smoke and mirrors to me so far.
CWS +124- I think this game is giving way too much value to the fact that the Indians are "due" to win. Pavano has been better, but he still has given up 40 hits in just 31 innings and the White Sox should be able to score against him and the very porous Tribe pen. Floyd has struggled of late, but he is still the better pitcher and he has had great success against Cleveland. Until the Tribe bats break out they cannot be trusted to win because of their pitching that is sub-par.
