ATLANTA BRAVES(Sale) -123 over Minnesota Twins(Festa)---------Both teams have won 72 games.  Both pitchers are 6 foot 6 inches.   But I'm not sure how good Festa is; he's never pitched more than 5 innings in a start.  Twins are 74 runs up on the Braves but are on a 2-7 streak,  while Braves have just gone 8-2.   Sale is good,  he's 14-3.(Win 5-1...........Festa does a lot better than I thought he would.  Jorge Soler HR.  Luke Williams 2-4)

OAKLAND A's(Bido) +107 over Cincinnati Reds(Cruz)------Cruz is not a starting pitcher and has no starts.  He has walked more than 1 every 2 innings.  Reds have 61 more runs than Oakland but are on a 3-8 streak.   A's are 12-10 in August and Bido is very good,  with a .189 BA against.(Win 9-6..........Michael Otanez Blows the Save but they come back and win.  Seth Brown 2HR...........Lawrence Butler an HR)
