ML on Seattle is tempting but not enough value in the line and Moyer scares me.
I'm taking the ML on ARI at -120 though.
Big Unit is pitching better and better. Hope is offense shows up for him while he's on the mound.
Estes is 14-7 but looking iffy of late. 9-10 hits allowed in 3 of his last 6 starts (2 of which were on the road). 4 or more walks in 3 of his last 6. It's easy to excuse his high-ERA on the Colorado altitude.
He was 13-4 a few weeks ago but is 1-3 (his team is 1-5) in his last 6 with only 1 really strong start in there.
I haven't seen him at all so I'm just going on the numbers. If I whiff on this one then so be it...but it sure reads like a struggling pitcher to me.
Under 9 on BSN-BLT looks good to me. Even if Boston scores 6 or 7 there is a decent chance Schilling can hold Baltimore to 2 or less.
I'm getting gutsy and taking the over on LA-SD.
7.5 just looks too low to me.
I know it's Petco which is a pitcher's park.....but Eaton's last 4 starts at home have been reasonably high scoring finals (7-3, 2-8, 5-7, 3-12).
The big concern is that Eaton-Weaver last week in LA was 3-0.
Again - I'm a total novice at this....so lets see how badly I get killed on my picks.
