Split yesterday (1-1) with Santana getting outpitched by Carmona. Got several plays for today with a few live dogs. Good luck to all fade or follow.

White Sox (Buerhle) +115 $115 to win $100
Lilly has been phenomenal all year, but Buerhle has enjoyed success (lets not forget the no-hitter) and has been the better pitcher for the past few years. Prior to this year, Lilly was a mediocre pitcher in the AL, but has found success in the NL this year. Match the Cubs overall woes of late with the White Sox hot off of a 2-1 series win against the Yankees, I see this as a good value bet. White Sox win.
White Sox 3 - Cubs 2
Indians (Lee) -180 $180 to win $100
I hate taking lines this high, but better team, at home (7 in a row), better starting pitcher...should be easy. Lohse is 2-6 lifetime vs. the Indians with a 7.84 ERA. Indians running away with this one.
Indians 8 - Reds 2
Twins (Bonser) +140 $71.43 to win $100
The Twins have been on an awful run over the past few games and their offense has been anemic. However, I feel the start of interleague play is just what the doctor ordered. Capuano has had a great start to the year, but last week's start against the Mets leads me to believe another mediocre performance is on tap for tonight as his ERA is corrected to somewhere in the mid-high 3's. He doesn't get shelled, but Bonser holds the Brewers at bay and the Twins take this one. Twins 5 - Brewers 3
Royals (De La Rosa) +150 $66.67 to win $100
Ugly game of the night. Royals are the worst team in the AL and the Rockies are the worst of the NL. With that being said, De La Rosa has actually been a very strong starter this year sporting a 3.68 ERA. The Royals are coming off a good trip to Oakland taking 2 out of 3 and I look for them to have a strong chance of winning their 3rd in a row tonight.
Royals 4 - Rockies 3
Dodgers (Penny) -130 $130 to win $100
Two teams playing well. What this comes down to for me is the pitching. Penny has been lights out and Ervin Santana just can't find his stride yet this year. I don't see Santana breaking out of his slump tonight against a very strong Dodgers lineup.
Dodgers 6 - Angels 2
