What a spectacularly frustrating night.
I'll be back later with more, but there are some early games I want to post:
Toronto -120, one unit. While noting what I said yesterday about the Blue Jays, this is too good a price to pass up on Shawn Marcum.
Cleveland +222, .5 units. The usual chasing of a very big number in a spot where the line overstates the real odds of winning or losing a single game.
Adding:
Pittsburgh +270, .5 units. I need a catch-all term for these, where I'm simply making the statement that no team is ever this big an underdog in an individual game.
Atlanta -105, one unit. Better team at home with an underrated pitcher on the mound. Kris Medlen isn't Tommy Hanson, but he's not that much worse than Jair Jurrjens.
Colorado -105, one unit. Better team, better starter. Last night, the Rockies had the bases loaded, one out, tied game, with Ian Stewart facing Carlos Marmol. The odds of a groundball in that spot couldn't possibly have been in double figures. GIDP, rally over, Rockies lose in 11.
Los Angeles (AL) +116, one unit. Jered Weaver has taken a step forward this year, so I like his chances to beat up the Rangers, who aren't a good offensive team, tonight.
San Francisco/San Diego over 6 (-103), two units. It's one thing to do this when Tim Lincecum is pitching, but Jonathan Sanchez against Mat Latos? Come on. These numbers are getting silly.
Seattle -115, two units. Felix Hernandez as a small favorite against the walktastic version of Ben Sheets.
That's eight on the day, which may be too many, but I don't want to pass on the +270.
