FLORIDA(Sanchez) +108 (BCLI line fla -112) over Hou(Rodriguez)----Marlins continue to produce scoring about 1 run every 6 atbats while Houston is scoring 1 run every 8 atbats. marlins are hitting .358 vs lhp's and I would score this pitching matchup either in Florida's favor or about equal. The offense's, however, are not equal: Astros suck. (Lose 4-3...yet another game where a team gets out-hit and still beats me. I cannot fathom this sick, twisted, heinousness continuing one more day. This is outrageous.)

COLORADO(Francis) -128 (BCLI line -136) over SF(Zito)----Francis is pretty reliable and I like him. SF offense has been one of the worst this year. Zito may have a problem after 2 bad starts. He relies on the curveball, which breaks better in heavy, humid air. Colorado air is not like that. Price is reasonable. (Lose 8-0...this bothers me. Zito was coming off only ONE bad start. That was my mistake. And he definitely redeemed. You need to take 4 or 5 walks against Zito and the Rockies only took 3. They did hit some balls hard that were right at somebody and were caught. Zito is throwing 84-86mph on his fastball. Seems slow. I also should have noticed that the Giants had broken out offensively the game before this one and seen the possibility for continuation. They proved they can hit a low fastball from a LHP. The jig is up on this terrible losing streak as the demons finally pop off at VT to protest BCLI's unjustified suffering. I feel the catharsis of the exorcism and know what the sound and the fury signifies: BCLI is now free to begin winning again.)
