    Random thoughts on tonight's MLB action

    If the Astros are ever going to win a game the rest of the year, tonight would be the night.
    Garcia is trash, Harrell has some game.
    However, I can't bring myself to bet that AAA team at +136. However I can see them winning tonight.


    There are five games tonight where the doggy is +180 or better.
    Three of those big bow-wow's may win outright.

    For instance.
    Grienke -235 against that stud Ramirez (Seattle) is a serious overlay.
    Ramirez has major stuff, but do the M's have enough sticks to back him?
    Can you (I can't) trust Grienke in a big game, and this game is huge for LA?

    Phil Hughes -200 over the Twins.
    Too bad the Twins are starting a shitbum (Vasquez) or I'd fade Hughe's sorry ass.
    Yanks have a penchant of getting fat off of shitbums that start against them.
    You want a play, here's a play, take NYY/Minny over 9 (even though Minny's park is a graveyard)
    Yanks should score six off of this stiff, Hughes seems to get 132 runs a game for him when he starts, and should give up 4 himself.

    Medlen, since converting into a full time starter has been flawless, with a capital F
    I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it doesn't.
    If he has a brain fart tonight, you can't blame him, but you can't bet against him, and if you bet him up at -285, you have rocks in your head because only blockheads bet -180 or more on the outcome of a regular season game.

    Fat Joe Saunders (Orioles) at -195 is a joke.
    He should be favored, yes, like -150, Toronto doesn't hit much these days, but Laffey is not a bad starter at all.
    Joe Saunders -195 is VERY risky business.

    Dirty Sanchez (Tigers) at -190 is an overlay too.
    He's going to need 5 runs, and the Tigers can usually do that sleepwalking, but Chen, if on, can hold Detroit at bay, and know this, KC can rake with Gordon, Butler and the rest in that lineup.

    So "who you on Nashy?" you are wondering?

    Taking a 1/2 unit, tiny try on KC

    And I will try a small 1* play with Fiers and the Brews over Cueto and the Reds.
    Top six in the Brewer order can touch up Cueto
    Reds have most of their starters in, so it's only a small 1* try
    At +134, I like Milwaukee some.
    Not a lot, but some.

    Good write ups. As square as it is I'm on Yankees -1.5. Sanchez and Saunders at them prices is laughable.

    We're on the same wavelength, so advanced apologies Nash.

    Will Cueto be on a limited pitch count?

    If he's sharp, he may go 7 if the count is under 75 NC

    I know, I keep expecting Melden to have that brain fart, but doesn't happen.
    Couldn't pull the trigger fading him, but thought about it

    I agree with the Astros.
    I already have the A's in a small play and then the Cubbies and Dodgers in my regular play.
