20 DIMER - SAN FRANCISCO (Zito over Marquis)...10 DIMERS - TEXAS (Feldman over Pavano), &KANSAS CITY 20 DIMER - SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (Zito over Marquis)

Momentum is only as strong as your next day's starter. That's how the old saying goes, and right now, I am liking the momentum Barry Zito brings into this home start for San Francisco.

Zito just battled Colorado starter Jason Marquis his last time out, and went 6 scoreless. Marquis worked 8, and allowed 1 run. Neither factored in the decision.

Zito's last 12 innings have been SCORELESS, and I think he has a few more in his bag of tricks tonight.

The Giants are a whopping 39-19 their last 58 at home, and 42-21 overall at home this season. They have also bested the Rockies in 3 of the 4 meetings this year by the bay.

Colorado has now lost 3 in a row, and it seems that momentum is not something that is in their corner right now.

Take the Giants.

10 DIMER - TEXAS RANGERS (Feldman over Pavano)

The Rangers have done a good job of late when they are playing off a loss, as they are 7-2 their last 9 games following a setback.

I like them tonight, as starter Scott Feldman has been a true "road warrior" this season, sporting a 9-1 road mark with an ERA under 3.

Feldman and Pavano just worked against each other on the 15th in Arlington, and both were knocked off the mound early in that start.

For the season, Pavano sports an over 5 ERA. Minny has been resurgent of late, but my money is on Feldman, and that 9-1 road mark.

Take the Rangers in this one to bounce back.

10 DIMER - KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

If there was ever such a thing as a "must win" in the preseason, this is it for the Chiefs.

Kansas City hasn't shown much this preseason, dropping both of their games, while scoring only 23-points. On the bright side, the Chiefs have allowed just 33-points in their pair of losses under new coach Todd Haley.

Tonight is the night Kansas City breaks the scneid, as this will be their last preseason home game, and I expect them to have their way against a Seattle team that has looked tip-top this August, winning and covering both of their preseason clashes.

Look for the Seahawks to give little resistence in this one this evening, and for KC to get the win and cover.
