TORONTO(Burnett) -166 (BCLI line -175) over Balt(Olson) (Win 5-2)
TORONTO -1.5 (+125) over Balt----------------Perfect opportunity for Blue Jays offense to wake up. They've hit lhp's better all year and are still hitting .293 against them. Toronto bats right, and in Olson's 3 starts, rhb's are hitting .340 off him. Burnett has shut down Balt once already and has the ability to shut down almost any team on any given day. BlueJays' recent offensive weakness is a risk, but I think they're playable against Olson. (Win 5-2)

TEXAS(Gabbard) +130 (BCLI line Tex -120) over Minn(Silva)--------Silva has had 3 straight good starts but Texas rocked him may 21st. He is always hittable. Rangers offense is weak but Twins are just as weak or weaker. Batters hit about .220 off Gabbard and .280 off Silva (Lose 2-1.....what a waste of Gabbard's work. Rangers fucking suck)

Det(Robertson) vs Nyy(Pettitte) OVER 10 (-125)--------Probably the two best offenses in baseball........and Robertson, who has been bad this year. Pettitte, though, is just about as hittable (.295) and Tigers have hit better vs lhp's all season. This line is at Superbook.com, some books have it at 10.5 (-120). And with these questionable bullpens, yeah, if Verlander/Mussina went over, this one should go WAY over. (Lose 6-1....pathetic hitting by Tigers)

TAMPA(Jackson) +113 (BCLI line -105) over Cleve(Byrd)-----------Indians have gone 5, 2, 3, 2 runs per game their last 4 games. Their offense has ability, but they have been having plenty of low scoring games lately. Their average is down to .266 (from .273) and their slugging is down to .426 (from .440). And although Tampa has had a few bad offensive games lately, they are hitting and slugging exactly what Cleveland is(.266 .426). Jackson blew Cleveland away last time he saw them and has been doing very well. Tampa should get 8 hits off Byrd just by sticking the bat out there; he's very hittable.(Lose 2-1.....they got their 8 hits, and their 21 LOB. Fuck Tampa)
