10:05 Los Angeles+190 (Perez 6-8 4.63) over Arizona (Johnson 1-3 5.83)
What you have to remember is that Arizona starter Randy Johnson as missed most of the season. He is in spring training form right now as opposed to mid season form that the odds makers are making him. The Dodgers have touched up lefties this season going 15-7 (+7 units) against southpaws. Arizona has lost 6 straight games coming into play tonight and have averaged just 1.4 runs per game during that streak. Los Angeles is scoring 4.5 runs per game against Left handed starters on the season and we feel they should be able to touch up rusty Diamondbacks starter Randy Johnson.
7:05 New York+180 (Wells 12-3 3.83) over Boston (Martinez 7-2 2.20)
The Yankees are coming off of a loss to the O's and it seems to us they may have been looking ahead to the Red Sox & Pedro Martinez tonight in beantown. Here is our angle on this game. Martinez has made 22 career starts against the Yankees. The Red Sox as a team are just 10-12 in those 22 lifetime starts by Pedro. Which totals up to be -11 units if you had played Martinez & the Red Sox in those 22 games. That is not profitable investing. As for Yankees starter David Wells he is 8-6 in his last 18 starts against the Red Sox. Boston has struggled against Lefties this season going just 15-18 (-17 units). Martinez is an unbelievable pitcher and this is a huge series for both teams. Boston trails the Yankees by 3 games in the division race. This series is way to important for both sides & we do not feel Boston should be this big of a favorite. Pedro or no Pedro.
