20 DIMER - TEXAS (Harrison over Meche)....10 DIMER - BALTIMORE-BOSTON OVER (Guthrie vs. Penny)
20 DIMER - TEXAS RANGERS (Harrison over Meche)



I know Meche rates the edge over Harrison, but to me the Royals 5-4 record is a bit of a mirage, as I just don't see their hitters stacking up against the loaded Texas lineup tonight in Arlington.



Texas has been knocking the snot out of the ball in their home park, and I have a feeling their bats will easily carry the night against Kansas City.



The Rangers did go 7-2 against the Royals in the season series last year, and one of those wins was thrown by southpaw Harrison, as he went 7 innings, and allowed only 1 run to score in a win at Kauffman.



Gil Meche's 2 starts against the Rangers last season produced an 0-1 mark, 6 runs allowed in 12 innings of work.



KC's record is better than expected, but tonight they get rocked.



Take Texas!



10 DIMER - BALTIMORE-BOSTON OVER (Guthrie vs. Penny)



I have a feeling the guys inside the Green Monster are going to be busy hanging crooked digits up on the Fenway scoreboard this evening!



I am backing another OVER from the O's tonight. Baltimore's pitching leaves a lot to be desired, and the fact they have played 4 straight OVERS, and OVERS in 7 of their 9 games already this year tells me there could easily be another OVER in store tonight.



Boston has also been playing them HIGH of late, sailing OVER in 3 in a row, and 4 of their last 5, with a push in the mix.



Brad Penny is always a pitch or two away from leaving the game injured, and he is quite capable of allowing that one ugly inning that sees 5 or 6 runs come home.



Have to stick with the percentages, and play this Baltimore-Boston game OVER the total.
Today's Complimentary Selection

G-Man stands at 14-9 the last 23 days with my comp play releases.



Early action in the Bronx today, and I thought the Yankees ticket prices were high! The same can be said for the price on Joba Chamberlain this afternoon against a Cleveland team that broke through in a big way against the average Yankees bullpen yesterday in a 10-2 win in the first game played at the new ballpark in the Bronx.



More of the same today, as the Tribe is starting to heat up, winners of their last pair, and 3 of 5, while the Yanks are a middling 2-3 their last 5 ball games.



You know Joba is not likely to work past the 6th inning, as the starting experiement still sees young Mr. Chamberlain's innings still being limited, and with the way the New York bullpen hasn't been getting the job done, you simply have to take a shot at this huge underdog to get the weekend started.



Reyes may not be able to blank the Yanks, but I have a feeling the Cleveland bats will be able to bail him out.



G-Man rolling with the Indians at this great price!
