Sunday thoughts...[strongest first]
1. METS, METS, METS -148 over T.B.
Can TB sweep the Mets?? Appier is 3-0 with 2.45 ERA lifetime vs. FLA, and has given up 5 runs in last 3 games over 21 innings. Lopez has given up 29 runs in the last 29 innings.
2. Indians -188 over Cinci
Reitsma has a good record on the road (2-1). but Wright is 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA, giving up only 6 runs over the last 20+ innings.
3. Pittsburgh +140 at Minnydome
Romero gave up 5 runs and 9 hits in 4 & 2/3 last start, and is a -150 fav? Schmidt gave up 1 run and 3 hits in 7 innings vs. FLA last start. Pitt has a good chance to avoid a sweep, I think...
Other games...
Florida at Toronto
Loiza 2-4/6.54 ERA lifetime vs. FLA, has gone 1-1 with 2.05 ERA last 3 games. Penny is 4-1/4.22 this year, but is 0-1/6.11 ERA last 3 games; is 1-0 vs. TOR, gave up 8 hits and 6 runs in 6 innings. PASS
Montreal at Bal'more
Possible OVER 8.5 play here. Both Vazquez and Johnson pitched wll last starts vs. ATL and NYY. Vazquez is 1-0 with 7.20 ERA vs. BAL, and Johnson 0-1 with 5.4 ERA vs MON. PASS
MIL at DET
Holt and Wright both 4-4, with ERA advantage to Wright [4.50 vs. 5.32] Each gave up 3 runs in their last starts, Wright giving up 7 hits vs. Pitt, and Holt 6 hits vs. BOS. Wright has gone 1-1 with 6.75 ERA last 3. PASS, but lean to DET.
GOOD LUCK
