Liken the Marlins +115 over the Mets for *2 stars and also the 5-innning line for *3 stars (which should be even at worst). Saw Joe Johnson last time out and he was close to unhittable...95 MPH fast balls with movement, 93 MPH sliders moving a foot..decent change...he sure looked like the real deal to me...Santana also top notch but he's much more of a finesse pitcher who can and does make an occassional mistake with his changeup..Marlins can hit with the Mets..there's no edge there..so there's no edge there..like the 5 inning bet as I wouldn't be surprised if the Mets scored 0 runs on Johnson for 5..could see a 2-0 type of score after 5The 9 inning bet is good too although the Mets have the better pen this year and could get the Marlins relievers..Johnson will probably just go 6-7 and then it's a bit of a crapshoot..I'll say the Marlins hang on for a 5-4 win with most of the scoring coming late.
Like Mariners over the As for *2 stars...Bedard is still solid in spite of his bad first outing...he was one of the ALs finest two years ago..has he slipped that much that he's an underdog to a somewhat unheard starter for the As?...Mariners look like a solid club this year at the plate so far this year...I'll take my chances on a proven vet who use to be excellent over an unknown..Seattle 6 As 2.
Like the Os +105 for *1 star over the Rays..Os have come out of the gate strong..excellent lineup up and down..Shields is solid but not dominant/unhittable...Eaton can be good or terrible...regardless, think the Os get to Shields and will score enough even if Eaton gets hit...Os 7 Rays 4.
