20 DIMER - NY METS (Hernandez over Nolasco)
10 DIMER - NY YANKEES RUN LINE (Sabathia over Ramirez
20 DIMER - NEW YOR METS (Hernandez over Nolasco)
Livan Hernandez is still doing it! While the portly righty is no longer the "ace" that he once was, he is still capable of getting you to the bullpen with minimum damage, and that is all you can ask for you backend starter.Look for the Mets to cool off the sizzling Marlins in this one, as Florida has made plenty of hay during this home stand, sweeping 3 off the Washington Nats, and opening last night's weekend set with a 5-4 edging of New York.Ricky Nolasco did not pitch badly against the Mets last year, but only went 1-2 in his 5 starts against them, losing his last pair of decisions. Nolasco's first start this year saw him allow 4 runs over 6 innings, but his offense bailed him out in the win.There are just too many dangerous sticks in that New York lineup for me to think Nolasco is going to do much better than 6 innings, and 4 runs. In fact, it could be worse today.
I am backing the Mets in this one as the underdog.

10 DIMER - NEW YORK YANKEES RUN LINE (Sabathia over Ramirez)
CC Sabathia cannot afford a start like he had on opening day against the Orioles, as the lefty was saddled with the ugly loss, and a lot of people in New York were left questioning his worth after that dud of a showing.Fortunately for CC, he gets to pitch against a Kansas City team that has plated 7 runs in 4 games!New York won 4-1 yesterday, and I expect it to be at least 4-1 today if not worse.
The Yankee bats have put up 25 runs in their 4 games, and once they figure out Ramirez, are likely to put up at least 5 tonight against KC pitching.Sabathia gives they Yankees what they paid for this evening as he puts up a host of goose eggs, and New York takes this one by 3 runs minimum.
Today's Complimentary Selection
G-Man sports a 12-5 comp play mark the last 17 days.
Tonight on the diamond I will go with the Phillies over the Rockies.To say Philadelphia is sporting a little World Series hangover is an understatement, as the Phils could very well be 0-4 were it not for their improbable come back win over Atlanta the other day when they received their World Series rings.Yesterday, they were flattened 10-3 in the Rockies home opener, but I like them to bounce-back from that loss with the win tonight.For one thing, Brett Myers is already making his second start of the year, and should be sharper than Jorge De La Rosa in his first assignment of the season.
For another, Philly did go 5-0 against Colorado in last year's season series.
The Phils are overdue for a break out win, while the 3-1 Rockies are about due for a clunker.
Take Philadelphia.
2♦ PHILADELPHIA
(on a 1♦ to 5♦ basis)
