Friday Night Favorites

I can't remember the last time we played two favorites on the same night, but it is what is. Baseball picks for tonight, each to win 1 unit:

Giants -120 (WSEX)

A really short number for Lincecum, which gave me pause at first, but public isn't jumping on board the Giants and the number keeps rising. Doug Davis doesn't belong in the same ballpark with Lincecum, but his 2.57 ERA is probably giving us a little value here compared to Lincecum's 3.86. That's not a bad number for most pitchers, but Lincecum's .438 BABIP has his ERA artificially high at the start of the season. The D-Backs can't even hit the ball coming out of the hands of average pitchers, so expect double-digit strikeouts for Lincecum tonight.

Mariners -117 (Matchbook)

If you order a "Loux" in France, they bring you a shit sandwich. Yes, I'm multi-lingual.

Probably passing on the other sports tonight. Good luck everybody.
