MLB OUIJA BOARD

Baltimore +120
Angels are third worst in the majors with an OPS of .683 against lefties… (Cubs are .576 but I missed out on that bet today). Angels are also starting Jered Weaver, his major league debut. I do have the sense that pitchers do well in their major league debuts but I don't have any stats to back that up... and since that is counterintuitive and I am prone to sports perception dementia, I think Baltimore is the call.

Contreras -129
White Sox are 70-38 (+31 units) Vs. the money line in road games last two years.

Milwaukee +119
Philly pitcher Floyd is on 3 days rest and isn’t that good to begin with.

Rangers +104
Zito struggled against the Rangers this year… Oakland on a seven game losing streak and Texas is #1 in the majors against lefties with an OPS of .968.

Drays/Red Sox over 10 (-105)
Behind the plate, Emmel is 8-1 OU and Schilling is overish at home.
Actually watched Maddux get roughed up last week and he got hella pissed about not getting calls that he usually gets- and this guy Emmel was behind the plate there.

All Signs point to a Detroit/Cleveland over 9.5 (+105)
with Darling an overish ump behind the plate. Byrd is 7-2 OU this season and Justin "Zoolander" Verlander or (Mats Willander Verlander if you prefer) is 3-1 OU at home.

Cleveland +140 also looks like good value.

Also, isn't that picture of Robert Varkonyi from the previous post a classic!? Reminds me of the poster of 40-year old virgin with Steve Carrel.

Tough night. White Sox pooped, Weaver was awesome, Boston couldn't get past the 10 run mark. Even the Stallion has bad days, the key is being close according to him.
