106-85 for +39.04 units

3* Yankees -111 (Buchholz/Colon)
Yanks are 11-4 after a loss this season and 11-5 at home against Boston recently. Buchholz appears to be getting back on track going 2-1 in his last 4 starts, but if you look closely at the actual numbers he still only has 1 quality start in 7 starts this season, and Boston is 1-5 in his career starts against the Yanks.

2* Cardinals +109 (Lohse/Arroyo)
Cardinals are 12-7 on the road this season and 8-2 against the Reds recently, they're also hitting .328 on the road against right handed pitching this year. I like backing a pitcher like Lohse who has a 0.86 whip this season, guys with low whip's tend to avoid the big innings as they don't have a lot of baserunners.

2* Blue Jays -112 (Romero/Pavano)
Blue Jays own this series winning 22 of the last 29 meetings. Romero's last two starts against the Twins were very good, and on the opposite side Pavano has been disastrous against Toronto. In Pavano's last 4 starts against Toronto the Blue Jays have scored 36 runs in those 4 games.

2* Athletics -113 (Humber/McCarthy)
McCarthy's numbers are weighted heavily by the fact that he's had 5 road starts to only two home starts this season. This park fits him well and he's allowed 0 runs in his two home starts this season. Humber has been solid but the ChiSox are still only 1-4 in his last 5 starts. Oakland is 39-16 at home against Chicago, and they're 6-1 recently off of a loss.

Best of Luck to everyone tonight:toast:
