Sunday in the American League

Apparently, Grover hasn't got his computer issues figured out, because I still haven't heard from him today. I feel like Daniel Day-Lewis' son in There Will Be Blood: "I've abandoned my boy!" I was planning on playing Cain again today (hopefully, against a lefty), but they keep changing the pitching matchups around. I might add it later, but for now, just these 3 in the AL, all lines from Matchbook:

Twins +177, 1 unit to win 1.77 units

All 3 of Perkins' appearances have been quality starts this year, including games against the heavy-hitting Red Sox and Rangers. Verlander may be coming out of his funk, but Minnesota hitters have performed well against him in the past, and with this huge line, I'm willing to take a chance on the kid.

Orioles +148, 1 unit to win 1.48 units

Don't tell Grover I picked against his favorite futures bet team. I see this matchup as very close, so getting +148 sounds like value to me.

Red Sox +103, 1 unit to win 1.03 units

I'm not making this pick because Bud Smith pitched a brilliant game in his next start after his no-hitter in 2001. And I'm not making this pick because I spent the time to write a post about not automatically picking against Lester today. I AM making this pick today because I am a sucker. This line is too good to be true and the sportsbooks have reeled me in like the big fat fish that I am. Good luck today, everybody.

Up late playing poker so I missed getting in Braves +101 in...but I'm taking Boston -103 too, I took Rockies +110, and I'm taking Angels -112 tonight.

Have a good Sunday...I was down last nite .6 units...but won $850 playing poker.
