Friday Night Baseball

Still fuming over not being able to get our Rays pick in yesterday afternoon because of a faulty internet connection (bastards!). Broke even on the 2 that we did play. Four for tonight, all lines from Matchbook:

Braves +126, 1 unit to win 1.26 units

Close matchup, with Jurrjens having pitched a little better recently. Line is probably a little bit overinflated because, you know, the Braves couldn't possibly win a road game.

Royals -117, 1.17 units to win 1 unit

Both of us had this one on our lists when we checked the lines this morning. Better pitcher, better hitting, at home. We like it.

Astros +141, 1 unit to win 1.41 units

Fading Dice-K has become one of our favorite hobbies. Houston players are on notice that the GM will kick their ass and release them if they don't play up to their potential.

Dodgers +110, 1 unit to win 1.10 units

Grover likes the idea of fading the Angels whenever possible. Something about Third World Order Records or some such. I don't understand all that jive, but I like the Dodgers against lefties, especially a lefty still carrying a BABIP of .244 this far into the season.

Good luck everybody.

I am on KC too, but I really am not sure why you think we are getting the better offense tonight.

The Royals are .315/.388//703 (OBP,SLG,OPS) as a team. They suck.

I agree they suck, but I think they've been hitting better recently, which I should have said (lazyness on a Friday afternoon).
