What do you think about SF?  It seems like Zito can pull it off after such a big win on Monday.

Wow I just noticed that Matsuzaka is starting for Boston against Lackey. Lay a huge bet on Lackey @ +107, Dice-K is gonna get hammered.

I didn't look at most of the games you played.  I tend to cross them off the board if both teams are eliminated from playoff contention.  The real teams sometimes don't show up.

The only one I handicapped on your list was the Cle / Min game.  You're right that Carmona will probably get shelled.  But I disagree with ya on the Indians offense.  In their last 5 they've scored 3, 0, 13, 1 & 2 runs.  The 13 run game was against David Huff who sports a 6.22 ERA for the year.  I wouldn't bet the over if you're planning on Cleveland to score a lot.  It probably won't happen.  If you wanna play this game the run line is probably the better option.  But I only lean that way slightly.

I think an above poster mentioned the SF play at +120.  There's a lotta value in that number.  The Giants have to sweep the Rocks if they wanna keep their playoff hopes alive.  They sure as hell showed up last night.  The Rockies have really tanked it in the offense department.  I say Zito goes at least 6 giving up maybe 2 or 3.  After that the stellar SF pen shuts the Rockies down.  I'm all over this one.

I just noticed your Angels play as well.  I'm gonna bet this one on the same side you are.  Not sure how much though.

Lackey has been lights out lately.  There's no doubt about that.  I question two things though. 1.  The Angels offense, which has been slightly below average.  I do think a game vs Dice-K is just what they need though.  2.  The Angels bullpen, which is ranked 24th in the league. 

My worse case scenario in this one would be, Angels bats stay below average and make Dice-K look good.  Lackey has a great game and keeps it close.  The Angels pen gives up something late and Boston walks away with the win.

I'm gonna say that the Angels bats get back on track though.  I'm probably gonna lay -1.5 on the road with Lackey.  Love betting the run line when I'm the visitor as the visiting team is usually more aggressive in the close ones.

I think people need to be careful going against Dice-K tonight.  I expect a gem from him.

 

 

MLBguru says:
Because he is still a top notch pitcher that obviously suffered from injuries or something of that nature.

 

He can be lights out, he was amazing in the WBC and then fell apart.

 

He is probably well rested, and ready to go tonight IMO.  I usually like to back pitchers in these spots....good pitchers that go down and come back months later.

 

Purcey was a good example last night.

TwistedMath says:
Like your insight guru.  That's a great point.  I'm on the Angels because of Lackey though.  If his stellar pitching continues they should be able to win this one by 2 or more.  Dice-K might return to form.  I'm just hoping it's not close enough to form to shut down the Angel bats.

I think this is a good spot for Dice K as well. If Angels can only score 3 off of Joba actually may have only been 2. Plus both in a race with Texas so neither team will be taking day off. Just look for fatigue out of LaA
