We couldn't agree on any AL games today, but we have plays on more than half of the games in the NL. Weird. First game is an afternoon contest, the rest tonight, and all lines from Matchbook:
Astros +242, 0.5 unit to win 1.21 units
Rich Harden is great (insert compulsory "when healthy" here), and Wandy is better at home, but holy shit, what is going on here? Two out of three wagerline pickers are laying the huge number with the favorite. Insanity.
Marlins +134, 1 unit to win 1.34 units
Johnson has looked good since coming off the DL, and Moyer has been pitching over his head a little bit. All of a sudden, the feared Phillies lineup can't put the bat on the ball, especially vs. righties.
Reds -118, 1.18 units to win 1 unit
Hopefully, the Reds will let Bronson Arroyo pinch-hit if a clutch situation arises.
Dodgers -109, 1.09 units to win 1 unit
I know, another favorite, I don't know if we ever had 2 on the same day before. I guess we'll have to go open an account at sportsbook.com and start posting at covers now. Billingsley has been fantastic this year. Still not sold on Carpenter coming off the injury. Oh, and did anybody else hear about this Manny guy going to LA? They say he's playing well.
Nationals +148, 1 unit to win 1.48 units
Betting on the Nats again. I also enjoy having my fingernails ripped off and that test at the eye doctor where they surprise you with a blast of air into your eyeball. It's the right play, but it's painful.
Good luck everybody. Back to the football preparation (and, um, you know, my job).

so which one of you jumped off the fade gavin floyd train? Smarter man than I am.
I'm not real ecstatic about this houston line movement..
I hear you, Buckeye, on Houston. Up to +250 the last time I looked. Must be a severe case of diarrhea going thru the Astros clubhouse or something.
As for fading Floyd, I'm sure we haven't given up for good, but just couldn't lay money on Robertson right now. He's been dreadful.
