Sunday Baseball

It's not a pretty card today. We're playing three of the league's bottomfeeders. It is not a card for the weak of heart or stomach.

Florida Marlins +130 (BetUS), 1 unit to win 1.3 units.


Mets are getting most of the action with Santana on the hill, but the line is moving the other way. The Marlins starter, Josh Johnson, is no slouch either. With the Marlins playing well and at home with a quality starter, this number looks like value.


Washington Nationals +175 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.75 units.


The Nats' losing streak creates the value here. Squares love to bet streaks. This is not a team playing well, and they have the lesser of the two starters here by a bit with Olsen going up against Jurrjens, but this number is too high to pass up for a team that's not as bad as their record suggests. Not good, but not as bad as the record suggests.


Houston Astros +122 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.2 units.


I am not an Astros fan this year, but we like them today with Wandy on the hill against a not particularly good Lohse.
