PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Contreras) +146 over Tampa Bay Rays(Guerra)------Contreras has had 4 good starts out of 5 while Pitt is 20-9.  Tampa's success can't continue like this forever.  Guerra is a lifetime 7.32 ERA pitcher.  He will not pitch more than two innings in this game.(Lose 4-1)

CINCINNATI REDS(Ashcraft) +168 over San Diego Padres(Wacha)---------Ashcraft is not fucking around;  he's going out there and pitching a good game every time.   Hitters are hitting .311 off Wacha and he has been unstable.  Padres are 16-14.    Certainly,  with Padres at -200 in this game,  the dime-line is very dead.   But I'll still take 'em.(Win 2-1..........Jonathan India GWRBI,  Friedl 3-5)

MIAMI HEAT +6 over New York Knicks----------Oh so gratifying it was.........to see so many billions of dollars of NYC luminary net worth going down in the stands of that last game.   Let's do that again.(Push 111-105)
