CHICAGO CUBS(Silva) +145 over Texas(Wilson)---------Rangers are on a 5-1 run; Cubs are on a 5-2 run. Interestingly enough, Cubs are 7-1 in games started by Silva.......who always has good control and, this year, looks to be giving up fewer hits. Against lhp's, Cubs have Soriano and Byrd who both are over .380 vs lhp's this year. Wilson has had good games all the way up until his last start. Cubs also have Starlin Castro who, I suspect, will have a good game today.(Win 5-4......Soriano 2 for 3.....Nice win, Wilson gets rocked again)

BLUE JAYS(Marcum) -125 over Arizona(Buckner)--------Arizona has scored very high over their last 3 games but Jays have a pitching advantage here. I dont remember Buckner ever being very good while Marcum has been hard to hit this year.(Win 12-4..........more run support for Marcum as Buckner gets destroyed)

REDS(Bailey) -132 over Cleveland(Huff)----------only 8 hits given in last 16inn for Homer Bailey; and only 2 walks.........he's doing better coming out of..........where? La Grange, Tx. (Lose 4-3.......Bailey rocked out in only 2 innings of work)

PADRES(Latos) +125 over Seattle(Hernandez)--------Latos an underdog? Only 10 walks in 45inn while holding opposing batters to a .212 average.........going against the weakest offensive team in baseball........? Take it.(Win 8-1)

NATIONALS(Lannan) -112 over Orioles(Millwood)--------Lannan has sucked but he's pitched alot on the road. He's at home here. Millwood a solid pitcher but I cant see the Nationals not winning this series vs the pathetic Orioles who are on a 2-6 run.(Win 4-3.......Bernardino 3 RBI's)

ANGELS(Weaver) +150 over Cardinals(Carpenter)-------Cardinals not doing that great lately having gone 6-7. If the Angels can beat the Cardinals with Kazmir starting, they should have a pretty good chance with Weaver, who is better.(Lose 6-5.......David Freese 3 for 4)
