A couple for today after a nice night...Thanks guys.
Toronto/Cleveland Under 8 3 Units
Neither team has been hitting very well and I think the day game after a night game will give the advantage to the pitchers early. As long as Masterson doesn't get bombed I like my chances since Marcum has been fairly consistent and this is an offense he can keep in check. As for Masterson his big problems are typically location and walks. Since Toronto shows such little plate discipline throughout their order I think this is an ideal matchup for him. If he is on, he shuts them down. If he is erratic he should generate enough swing and misses on bad pitches out of the zone to stay in good counts and avoid walks. And if he avoids walks the homers he gives up are less damaging. Both pens have been better of late and I look for a 2-1 or 3-2 game being handed to the bullpens in the 7th and 8th innings.
Side note...both teams are sending out a few of their Triple A caliber hitters. Donald, Nix, Marte and Duncan for CLE and Molina, Wise and Green for Toronto.
Washington +120 2 Units
Mets got in very late in Washington after their game ended in PR last night after midnight. Johan has been struggling and Livan has been rested his last two starts (under 100 pitches). I think Washington jumps on a lackluster Mets team who will likely be limited offensively with Pagan and Reyes likely being out of the lineup.
Yankees -2' around -120 2 Units
NY has been great for CC and in general as very large favorites (especially against the RL's). NY averages about 2.5 more runs a game vs LHP and CC clearly is in better form and the better pitcher. NY should pop a couple of HR's (with the wind blowing out) but since they have been on fire up and down the lineup I would rather play the RL than risk them not covering the total on their own. I see NY 6-1, 7-2 type of game to get healthy.
