One to start

NYY -1' -155 2 Units

Yes, I know CC has had a couple of bad outings and Millwood has been fantastic this season despite his W/L record. But today CC gets to face a lineup averaging under 3 runs per game against all LHP's while Millwood faces a full strength Yankee lineup, a little upgrade over the Seattle and the Nats in a couple of his recent outings. I should have pulled the trigger on this yesterday as Baltimore has been brutal against the Yankees over the last 2 years against the RL.

Adding

Oakland +105 First 5

I trust Anderson to outduel Wakefield way more than I do the bullpens. Anderson has been tough on them and looked sharp in his last outing. Since it's a day game after a night game and a LHP Boston will likely have a couple of their Triple A level players (McDonald, Hall) in the lineup to make it a little easier for Anderson. Boston and TB have been the beneficiaries of some bullpen blowups of late but they haven't really played excellent ball. I think Oakland can take advantage today.

Oakland is 2 Units as well

a bunch of us on Oakland I see, let's hope that doesn't work against us. Good luck today.

One more for tonight

ATL/LAD Under 8 -115 2 Units
Both of these starters have the ability to dominate tonight. I tend to lean to Medlen to come up with the better performance since the dodgers have been scuffling a little the last few weeks. But after a cross country trip Kuroda should have a little advantage over the Braves lineup. The only thing I don't like is that both teams are going with their "Big Dog" lineups tonight but that still leaves 3-4 spots in the order that can be pitched to. If Medlen and Kuroda don't get bombed by the 3-4-5 spots on the first two turns I like my chances.
