Well another good day yesterday hitting both 2 unit plays and the 3 unit with Sheets. He is a very underestimated pitcher because he is either brilliant or awful. There are very few times he hits the middle area. Yesterday he had two pitches working for him, a fastball and changeup. I watched the game on the computer and he was still able to go 7 strong while only allowing two runs and having arguably his best pitch, the curveball be ineffective for the most part. Onto today.

Milwaukee - Capuano -150 Grabbing this now because this should go back up soon. Minnesota's best hitters are left handed and this should give Cap an advantage here. The Twins are also on a mini-slide having been swept in Cleveland the last few days. Going to Milwaukee is no joke anymore and they will soon find this out. There are maybe two or three bullpens that I personally trust, and Milwaukee is slowly creeping up to number 4. Turnbow and Cordero have been solid this year and if Capuano can throw 7 solid innings, Milwaukee should be able to hang on for the win and extend the Twins slide to 4.
Tampa Bay - Jackson -115 These are two teams that are both young and will be good in the years to come. Both teams can pound the ball and both teams can run. Seeing BY Kim on the mound scares the life out of me if I am a Marlin fan. This guy and Hideki Irabu are probably the biggest busts as far as Japanese players go. I see no reason why Tampa Bay can not continue their hot hitting tonight against a guy who has floated from team to team because he can not pitch well enough to stick with one for awhile. This is as much as play on the Devil Rays as it is against Byung Hyung I Give Up Gopher Balls Kim.

Houston - Albers -115 Texas' bullpen has been taxed over the last few days with Tampa. They have lost 4 in a row, including getting swept by the Devil Rays. Houston had won 4 in a row until they blew last night's game for Oswalt. Albers last three starts have gone Bad, Superb, and then Horrible. I look for streaky things and maybe he can get it done again tonight, or at least that would be the recent trend. He has also had 7 days rest since his last start so he should be very fresh and ready to go. Tejeda has not pitched since the 9th when he allowed 6 earned to the Yankees in 3 innings. It should be a slugfest tonight but Houston comes out on top.
Tampa Bay(Jackson) / Florida(Kim) Over 10.5 Reason stated above. See no reason why Tampa can not put a 6 or 7 spot up tonight. Anyone who thinks their staff can shut any team out is nuts.
Tampa 7 Florida 5
1 Unit
Anaheim - Santana +110 They play much better at home and Santana pitches much better at home. Penny has been awesome to start the year, but tonight he gets his first loss.
San Fransisco(Zito) / Oakland(Gaudin) Under 8.5 Zito is Zito and Oakland's offense is weak. Gaudin has been pretty good at home so far this year. The Giants offense is not the most potent and has struggled this year. No reason they get hot tonight.
GL All!
