After going 2-0 on Wed, I have found 2 plays that I like for Thursday......
Minnesota -2 (on pinnacle) -135 (7 units)
This is my biggest play so far. Santana tries to help the Twins avoid losing 3 straight to the Royals at the Metrodome. Lucky for the Twins and Santana, the Royals will be sending Jorge De La Rosa to the mound. De La Rosa's ERA this year is an awful 8.13 and he sports a 13.50 ERA vs the Twins this year and an 11.57 career ERA versus the Twins. Factor in that he is on the road and facing Santana is an easy decision to make. I'll gladly give up 2 runs as I don't see this being close. Look for a 13-2 final score.
Texas -129 (3 units)
The Orioles send perhaps the most inconsistent pitcher in the majors to the mound in Daniel Cabrera against a powerful Texas lineup. The Orioles sport one of the worst road records in the league and I am confused on why this line is slow low. Adam Eaton will be able to hold the Orioles offense down and he'll get plenty of run support as I see another 6 walk performance from Cabrera as he is coming off 2 straight impressive starts but both of those were at home in the friendly confines of Camden. Oh yeah, if he can't go atleast 6, you have the putrid Baltimore bullpen backing him up. The Rangers will score early and often leading them to an easy win. I see an 11-4 final score.
Best of luck to everyone as always!!!

I am still scratching my head on the Twins game but I guess a push is better than a loss. I am lucky the Twins pushed across a run in the eighth cuz that would have been a tough loss to deal with. Still have 1 game left for tonight. GL to everyone!
