Shairon Martis only managed to go
3 innings while giving up 3 ER in his last start vs the Braves while giving up 5 hits in that time. Kawakami meanwhile managed 6 solid innings while giving up only 4 hits and 3 ER last time he faced Nats. Seriously, does anyone think they can win 2 games in a row??? I don't think so. Go with the Visitors in this one.
New York Yankees -197 -
Units - The A's are only hitting .
202 in their last 10 games vs Lefties and an even worse
.185 on the road vs the southpaws while the yanks have been clobering the left handers batting .317 in their last 10 and .324 at home vs the southpaws. This was my
LOCK pick from yesterday and I'm sticking with it today!
I really do LOVE this card today.
Florida Marlins - 127 -
Units -
The Bucs have lost the last 8 (that's right, I said 8!) times Karstens has taken the bump and I see no reason that will change today. Sanchez is the better pitcher (he's given up a grand total of
2 ER in 11 innings this year while sporting a
1.64 ERA), the Marlins have the better bats, they should win by 4 or 5 runs today.
LA Dodgers -162 - Units Clayton Kershaw looks like the real deal for the Dodgers. The kid has given up only 3 hits in 12 innings while striking out 19 this year. DId I mention the kid's ERA is 1.50?? Hard for me to back the Astros in this one. The only way for Houston to keep it close is for Ortiz to shut them down, but I don't see the man DRAGGING around his 6.83 ERA doing that to the potent LA lineup. LA looks like another easy winner.
Detroit Tigers +101 -
Units - Galarraga is a beast on the mound. He is sporting a 4:1 Strikeout to walk ratio while giving up a total of 1 ER in 13+ innings this year. That comes up to a
0.68 ERA! The same can't be said of Jared Weaver with LAA he got knocked around in his last outing in SEA giving up twice as many hits (10) as innings pitched (5) and striking out mearly 2 while walking a pair and giving up a pair of dingers. Tigers in a sleeper should be over early.
Let me know what you all think and if you agree/disagree, please post and let me know why. Maybe you have that "Inside Info" I've been looking for.
