record 128-110, +56.84 units
A little behind last year's pace of 120 units. Was hoping to pass that this year so hopefully will pick it up in the 2nd half of the season.
Oakland -145, 3 units
A's match up much better vs. LHP hitting .280 compared to the Ranger's .247 avg. Zito has given up 3 runs or less in 11 of 14 starts and has dominated Texas throughout his career going 13-2 with a 2.97 ERA. Rogers has faced a lot of distractions coming back from the All Star game and while he has pitched well this season he hasn't faced a lot of great lineups looking at his past starts as about the only really good team he has faced was the Angels with 2 of those starts coming early on in the season when they were struggling. A's should have a significant advantage in the pen as well with Harden throwing a shutout so like their chances even as relatively high chalk. Pretty decent home plate ump with Crawford as home favs are 6-1.
Reds -143, 2 units
Rockies have absolutely no protection for Helton with Wilson traded and Hawpe injured. Jennings is not a good road pitcher and the Rockies traded away their best middle reliever in Witasick. Harang has been tough at home in a good hitter's park with a .205 BAA and 3.11 ERA. Small price to pay against a 7-33 road team.
Braves -139, 2 units
Glavine has always struggled against his former team going 1-8 in 9 starts with 8.81 ERA. Braves have won Smoltz's last 6 starts and home dogs over 110 are just 1-3 with Nelson behind the plate so like the Braves to bounce back after losing game 1.
Marlins +128, 2 units
Think there is some value here as Lidle has an ERA close to 5 at home and Marlins should put up some runs. Moehler doesn't give up a lot of home runs or walks which should help him in this park.
