Boston Red Sox
vs. Baltimore Orioles
Don’t expect much from either starting pitcher tonight. Boston’s John Smoltz is 1-4 with a 7.04 ERA since joining the Red Sox and was lit up by the Orioles in his last start for six runs and nine hits over five innings. On the other side, Baltimore’s starter Jeremy Guthrie has a 7.94 ERA in two starts against the Red Sox. But you can count on Boston’s two, six and number eight hitters. The trio of Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis have combined for a .378 batting average with 27 RBI’s verses the Orioles. Put your money on the Red Sox -125 to win the series opener tonight.

New York Yankees
vs. Chicago White Sox
Riding last night’s ninth inning win the Chicago White Sox keep it rolling at home tonight against New York and Yankee starting pitcher Sergio Mitre who returns to the rotation for his second start since being called up from Triple-A. Mitre in for an injured Chien-Ming Wang, is 0-1 with a 7.36 ERA in two career starts versus the White Sox. Chicago counters with starter Clayton Richard who is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his last two starts. Put your money on the White Sox +110.

Milwaukee Brewers
vs. San Diego Padres
Well out of playoff contention, San Diego’s first three-game winning streak in more than two months is enough for me to pick the Padres in a series opening win against the Milwaukee Brewers tonight. The “brew crew” just wrapped up a series with the Reds and had to scramble to avoid losing three of four to the only team in the NL worse than the Padres! The Reds can’t patch it together and the Padres keep it going. The pick tonight is San Diego +105.
