A month of grinding, wiped out in a day.

Houston -113. Roy Oswalt got smacked around by an average Cubs offense.

Cincinnati/Washington over 9. Eighteen hits, three walks, two hit batsmen and four ROEs, but just six runs.

San Diego/Philadelphia over 9. It was 6-2 in the bottom of the fifth. The rest of the game lasted about 14 minutes: 1-23 with a walk, one runner to second base.

Colorado -123. I really have no words. The Rockies are 7-14 in one- and two-run games when Jimenez doesn't start, and they're one of the worst teams in baseball in any late-game offensive stat you care to use.

Oakland +112. Another quality start for Trevor Cahill. He didn't outpitch Francisco Liriano, but the game was nonetheless tied with one out in the top of the ninth when Bob Geren lost his mind, intentionally walking the go-ahead run with no one on base. He deserved to lose.

If the above reads a little bitter, well, allow me one day of indulgence.

I was really hoping for a comeback card, but it's thin. Probably for the best:

Florida -105, 1.5 units. We'll get back on the Nolasco Express with the better team at basically even money.

Pittsburgh +163, one unit. There's nothing wrong with Tim Lincecum that time won't fix. This is more about liking Ross Ohlendorf and hating the Giants offense.

Atlanta/Los Angeles (NL) over 7 (-110), two units. Tim Hudson is living on the edge, and Jon Ely is a stone fluke. The number is simply too low for these two lineups against these two pitchers.
