dice k has to go somewhere, where i dont care, but not on this team, and not in this starting rotation. a 6 man rotation is bullshit especially when it pisses off your ace. send him to pawtucket with bucholtz (who is most likely better then him) and see what he does down there but im tired of hearing about all the games he has won. every game he pitched last year and i bet on him in i said "he gets into trouble but get out of it but sooner or later that will catch up with him.." well that time has come. you cant live in the major leagues and walk people, its that simple. if smoltz is garbage you can bring him back but i doubt smoltz will be worse. the league has seen him now and the gig is up, he aint that good. sorry theo, you have made some great moves but nobody is perfect and half the money you spent on him didnt even go to him, chalk this up as a bad one and move on

- 4 units yesterday...
+8.7 units on the year..
SAN DIEGO PADRES +145 3 UNITS
zito has had quite a few good road starts this year including at san diego, but this situation is where zito has been brutal this year, at home and in day games. he has a 7 era for both. the team is 2-11 in his home starts this year and 2-7 in his day starts. pads 6 giants 4
BALTIMORE ORIOLES FIRST 5 -135 3 UNITS
after watching those merry band of brothers down in the o's pen in action last night ill take my chances with guthrie through 5. he has a 1.71 era over his last 6 starts. i cant see the o's not getting to pavano, guy has a 4.77 era in his career with the yankees and this is his first start in forever. balty 4 yanks 2
BOSTON RED SOX -1.5 +105 3 UNITS
lester has quitely been one of the best pitchers in baseball going 9-1 with a 2.89 era over his last 14 starts. he has only given up 1 er in 14.2 innings to the jays but lost 1-0 to a halladay shutout in one of his starts. the sox are starting to play better on the road and should be able to get runs off litsch. he pitched well last time out but is still just 1-6 with a +5 era over his last 10 starts. sox 6 blue jays 2

3-5 -1.25
BOSTON RED SOX -110 3 units
yes harden is a good pitcher and better then lester but the sox at this price is a bargain. harden will go 5 maybe 6 innings at most then like today it comes down to the bullpens and while the sox got away with using snyder (shouldnt be in a game thats within 5 runs either way) the a's "closer" is probably out tommorow and that bullpen is weak as hell. and the a's lineup is just as weak, that lineup takes mediocracy to a new level. cant pass up this bargain. lester just needs to pitch decent and ill take my chances in the late innings at this price.
