Twins(Marquis) vs Blue Jays(Alvarez) UNDER 8.5(-115)------Gotta respect Alvarez this year as he is walking only 1 every 4innings and........Twins have averaged scoring less than 2 runs per game over their last 8 games.   Marquis has not been good statistically but today may be a good day for him with Jason Jaso getting the GWRBI for the Mariners last night in a game where Jason Vargas dominated the Tigers.(Win 6-2)

OAKLAND A'S(Colon) +117 over Detroit Tigers(Scherzer)-----Good chance for A's to raise their pathetically low batting averages;  Scherzer's been hittable while Colon is walking only 1 every 6inn.  A's have scored well in 2 of their last 3.(Lose 10-6.......Cokin deploys his forces ON THE TIGERS!  Colon brutally rocked.  But why?  Before this game,  batters were hitting .330 off Scherzer and,  while the Tigers should outhit Oakland over the long run,  Detroit was averaging only 3 runs per game over their last 7.   Colon had only been rocked once while having a number of other very good games.   Oakland has INGE.........at home............with the revenge against his former team.   Hmmm.  Cokin must have seen something.....)

BOSTON RED SOX(Beckett) -141 over Cleveland Indians(Lowe)----Beckett off a (possibly) cathartic golf outing..........we'll see how it goes..........I don't know how new the Bank of America signs are in Fenway----and certainly,  with BoA being a failed,  though nationalized,  bank,  their presence will not make the team luckier(and so far,  it hasn't).   However,  the Red Sox do have a producing offense.(Lose 8-3..........Beckett rocked.  Red Sox.......outlook:  subprime)
