Just took a look at tomorrow's card... I like
Nationals (Hill) +135
Hill is the ace of the Nats staff so far this year and he's given up more than 2 runs in a start just once this year. The only thing that worries me is that he's been complaining lately of shoulder pain. Meanwhile, Guzman has done everything within his power to avoid being called up by the Cubs. He's compiled a 12.19 ERA at Iowa in 3 starts and couldn't beat out Wade Miller for that 5th spot in spring training.
Giants (Lincecum) +115
I'm a big believer in minor league K/9 as a predictor for success in the big leagues. Lincecum has struck out 104 in 63 2/3 innings in the PCL and has a sub-1.00 ERA. He should have fun with the free-swinging Phillies.
Marlins (Olsen) +145
Peavy is the better pitcher by far, but that doesn't always win games, expecially when you pitch for the Padres. Olsen has finally figured things out in his past 2 starts and the Marlins have the better offense. I'll take them as a dog at home.
