Tuesday baseball

Ah, good to be back. All lines from Matchbook today:


Seattle Mariners +137, 1 unit to win 1.37 units.


Our Mariners love this year is well-documented. Neither starter is anything to write home about, so we'll play the better team at that number.


Pittsburgh Pirates +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit.


We're not buying the Cards this year, and the third-order numbers back us up on that, so we'll take even money with the slightly inferior club but the better starter at home. Simple as that.


Washington Nationals +131, 1 unit to win 1.31 units.


It hurts to get off the Cain train, but there's gonna be a ton of value in the Nats the rest of this year. Teams that are 10-20 in the standings but who have third-order records of 14.6-15.4 tend to be that way. Just stay away from the Olsen and Cabrera starts if you want to preserve your sanity. Zimmermann can keep you sane.
