Three for Saturday Night

Three more we like this evening. It's been a good couple of days, hopefully we can keep it going:

Minnesota Twins +104 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.04 units.


Two great pitchers in this matchup. The one that has a good offense to support him and a good bullpen to back him up is getting the underdog money. The guy making his first start off the DL is the favorite. You do the math.


Chicago White Sox +145 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.45 units.


Our two AL games are very similar. Four good pitchers in these two games. In both cases, it appears that the pitcher who has shined in the playoff spotlight (Verlander here) is getting more love than may be warranted. Danks, like Baker for the Twins, is quietly putting together a very good season. Shhhh.


Houston Astros +164 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.63 units.

76% of the public is on the Brewers according to Wagerline. That's right, 76% on Dave Bush, he of the 1.2 HR/9 and a decent but not great K/BB ratio. Is he decent? Yeah, sure. He's a fine #3 or #4 starter. But -170? I think not. We'll back Backe here (See what I did there?). Hambone also seems to have a Backe thing that rivals my Cain obsession. It's kinda terrifying.
