Ferringo 9/6
Ferringo
2-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 9.5 Minnesota at Cleveland (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 6)
We have a solid ‘over’ ump and two shaky arms on the mount here. Last night’s game went under and there really weren’t a lot of quality at-bats. But David Huff is a guy that’s played ‘over’ at a 5-1-1 clip over his last seven outings. He has a 6.57 ERA on the season and with 19 starts under his belt that’s enough of a cross section for my thoughts on him (he sucks) to be backed up. Nick Blackbun has been all over the place, giving up six runs in two innings in one outing and then just three in seven innings the next. He’s given up 17 runs in 24 innings over his last five starts. He has played ‘under’ in three straight starts. But I don’t think he’s good enough for that to continue. We have Sam Holbrook and a tight zone behind the dish. And since it is a holiday weekend I expect a bit more of a crowd and a bit different feel for this game. There are two pretty weak bullpens at work here. And with that tight ump that means that we’re more likely to get into them early. We have warm weather and a light breeze blowing out to left field. I think all of that together will be enough for this one to sneak over late and cash our ticket in the process.
That's it for today. Good luck.
