ARIZONA(Johnson) -130 over Colorado(Francis)-------Rockies have raised their average against lhp's to .219 whereas Arizona's average vs lhp's has declined to .277. Big difference between these offenses. Francis was rocked TWICE this year by Arizona. (Win 8-4)

OAKLAND(Duchscherer) +100 over Cleveland(Byrd)------A's offense may be waking up here 2 days after rocking Ponson and scoring 12. They've hit Byrd earlier and Duchscherer has been consistently good. Indians offense still weak(Lose 4-0)

HOUSTON(Backe) +115 over Giants(Cain)--------I've liked what I've seen of Backe; he certainly doesnt have to be great here for the Astros to win as Houston's offense is very strong now. (Lose 4-2)

ROYALS(Greinke) -123 over Tigers(Robertson)-------Royals have too big of a pitching advantage here to ignore(Win 3-2)
