A thin card in regard to options today for me. Nice night last night hopefully that continues.
Minn/Cleveland...Considering Cleveland as a play. Neither pitcher is likely to get deep in the game and if cleveland can get 2-3 runs off Duensing they should be able to add on vs the Minny pen. Duensing is likely to be out by the end of the 6th. Huff has shown flashes this season, atleast enough to get my money at this line. I just want to see what lineup each team is rolling out. Plus the line is growing and that doesn't hurt the value.
Toronto -120 2 units
Morrow has been rock solid at home and most of his struggles have come against fairly full Red Sox and Yankee lineups. With Pena out and Crawford possibly struggling with an injury (sat last 2 games) the rest of the lineup is manageable and Morrow does a good job of controlling the running game. Sonnastine, a flyball pitcher, is also facing a very good home run hitting lineup vs RHP with a worn out bullpen.
Oakland
Cahill is 2-0 vs Texas this year and has been very consistent. I'm leaning toward Oakland at what I think is a very reasonable number. I want to check on a couple extra things before I lock this in.
Boston/NYY
Waiting to see what lineup the Yankees use tonight but am leaning toward the Yankees team total over. They have scored 6 or more runs in the last 4 starts vs Beckett and 7 of 10 vs Boston this year. If Posada is starting at catcher that will be the play. Burnett has been great the last month except the inning after he hurt his hand vs Tampa and the last inning vs a good Toronto team. But I don't trust him with Posada behind the plate to get the W with his inconsistencies. He could throw 7 shutout innings or get lit for 7 in 5 innings. I think Beckett gets lit both of his next two turns against two good fastball hitting teams.
I also considered a couple unders in Chi/Balt and SD/Ari but they appear to be pretty popular and both of those ballparks can yield runs in a hurry.
