CHICAGO CUBS(Silva) -160 over Washington(Lannan)(Win 4-3)
CUBS -1.5 (+140) over Washington---------Nationals are 3-1 in games Lannan has started but he's walking almost 1 every 2 innings and getting hit. Cubs have scored 7 runs per game over their last 5 games while Silva has been about as near to pristine as a pitcher can get; only 2 walks in 19 inn and batters are hitting .152 against him. At Wrigley, I'll lay the price.(Lose 4-3)

BREWERS(Gallardo) -1.5 (-105) over Pirates(Duke)-------Brewers are emerging as a very strong offensive team; they've scored almost 6 runs per game this season. Duke has had 3 good starts against 1 bad one(vs Brewers) so he has the pitcher revenge, Pirates have the team revenge vs Gallardo.......but they've lost 6 straight. I'm not feeling the revenge here as I want to play the strong offense against a team that's not hitting.(Win 17-3......Wow, this offense is definitely ready for the World Series........they may have to make a deal to add a starting pitcher.......or maybe they wont even need one---bwaaa)
