4 Unit Play.
Take Under 9 between the Twins vs. Royals (Thursday @ 1:10pm est). Gil Meche comes off a start where he was rocked in Fenway for six runs in less than four innings against the Redsox. He has been a solid bounce-back all year and he looks to bounce-back against the Twins on the road. Although he pitched well, the Twins defeated him 1-5 as he gave up 2 runs in 6 innings. I suspect he will have a similar solid outing as he looks to avenge that loss and he comes into the game on a bounce-back. Since coming over from the Indians, Pavan is looking to continue to pitch well for his new ballclub. I suspect he will have another solid effort based on that. Pavano was rocked by the Royals earlier this year for 9 runs and he is in a similar boat with Meche. They are both looking for revenge so to speak and as Meche comes off a bounce-back, Pavano looks to help his new ballclub in just his second start for them this year. The Under is 9-3-1 for Meche against the AL Central and the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. Good luck, Indian Cowboy.
Play: 6 Unit Play. Take the Indiana Fever -2.5 over the Minnesota Lynx (Thursday @ 7pm est)(POD)
Comments: INDIAN COWBOY'S PLAY OF THE DAY: 6 Unit Play. Take the Indiana Fever -2.5 over the Minnesota Lynx (Thursday @ 7pm est). The Fever have two things going for them in this game. For starters, this team has revenge against the Lynx for an ugly 74-96 loss they suffered to them back on June 7th. The Fever also come off just their 5th loss of the year at LA where they simply did not play well and ran into a very good Sparks defense that is healthy again. I look for the Fever to get their revenge and bounce-back from their just fifth loss of the year as this team is very well coached and remember, this is the same team that has not lost back to back games all year long. I love the fact that the Fever come off the loss to the Sparks as it was likely a letdown from their big win over Phoenix on the road in the game just prior. The Lynx are not a bad team by any means, but I do not see them scoring 96 points on the Indiana defense once again today as there will be changes made coming into this game. The Lynx do come off a loss, but they are 3-7 over their last 10 and since the injury to Seimone Augustus, this team has not been as dynamic. The Fever are 5-1 ATS when playing on two days rest and the Lynx are 1-7 ATS over their last 8 games.
Indian Cowboy 8/13
