He has allowed 2 runs or less in each of his 5 home starts (total of 7 runs) and he allowed just 6 hits in pitching a complete game, as the Indians beat Minnesota 5-0 on the road a couple of weeks ago. Pavano is 2-4, with a 5.46 ERA and has allowed at least 4 runs in 3 of his last 4 games, and is coming off gicing up 6 runs on 10 hits against Detroit. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits in the 5-4 home loss to the Indians two weeks ago. Like Cleveland here as they have beaten Minnesota in 10 of their last 11 meetings and like them to do so again here. Washington - Atlanta over 7.5 @ 2.03 pinnacle Strasburg is 5-1, with a 2.64 ERA and has allowed at least 3 runs in his last 3 starts as well as at least 3 runs in his last 3 home starts.

Neither pitcher in form and like them to both give up runs here Philly - Miami under 8.5 @ 2.04 pinnacle Kendrick is 1-4, with a 4.10 ERA but he has allowed 2 runs or less in his last 3 starts and has pitched well against Miami, going 5-0 with a 2.57 ERA in his last 6 starts against them.

Boston @ 2.17 pinnacle Buchholz is 4-2, with a 7.19 ERA and has shown some improvement of late with 2 runs in 3 of his last 3 games. He has benefited with some very good run support, as Boston's bats have scored at least 6 runs in 7 of his 10 starts, and given that he has gone 7-3 with a 2.49 ERA in 11 starts against Toronto, which includes going 4-0 with a 1.32 ERA in his last 5 starts against them. Buchholz has won his last 5 starts in Toronto and allowed one run in each of these games, so like him to do well again here. Alvarez is 3-4 with a 3.56 ERA and has allowed at least 4 runs in losing his last 3 starts with two of these at home.
