ATL(Carlyle) -141 (BCLI line -189) over Az(Owings) (Lose 12-6)
Atl -1.5 (+150) over AZ-----------It is a mystery how Arizona has gotten so many wins with such a bad offense. Their bullpen ranks only 16th in ERA. They have one great starting pitcher......and Livan Hernandez, Doug Davis and Micah Owings, who is quite inconsistent and not very good. Yet the team is 70-53 with a team batting average of .249. The Braves average is up to .276 and they outslug AZ by 26 points. Carlyle is very good vs rhb's (.201) and besides the .240-hitting Stephen Drew, I can't think of one other Diamondback who doesnt bat right handed. (Lose 12-6.......this shit wasnt supposed to happen)

SF(Cain) -118 (BCLI line -130) over Fla(Vanden Hurk) (Win 4-3)
SF vs Fla UNDER 9.5 (-115)------------First of all, 9.5 for a national league game, with the Giants terrible offense and Florida getting only 1 hit off Zito yesterday after a slew of 4 run games and Cain, the best 4-13 pitcher in baseball? I think the o/u should be more like 8. However, the Giants may be building some offensive momentum; they scored 9 in their game against James(surprising) and they got 10 against Youman and the Pirates recently. Cain deserves to have a lot more than only 4 wins and is hard to hit. Vanden Hurk is unimpressive and SF has already hit him once. One of these bets has to win but probably both.(Win 4-3)
