Baltimore at Tampa Bay
Scott Kazmir is coming off one of the best performances in his career after handing Johan Santana his first home loss since August of 2005. But the 23-year-old lefthander gets another tough assignment today against Baltimore's Erik Bedard. The Oriole lefthander has been especially tough against the D-Rays with a 7-3 record and 2.98 ERA in 14 career starts. Two of those wins have come in matchups with Kazmir. While the Orioles lost last night (6-4), they had won four straight prior to that and look like a decent underdog pick (+125) in this one according to Dunkel, which has Baltimore favored straight up by 2. Dunkel Pick: Baltimore (+125). Here are all of today's games.
