Tampa Bay Devil Rays @ New York Yankees Devil Rays 3.15 (Pinnacle) 4 units TB: LHP Scott Kazmir, 2-1 , ERA 4.07 , WHIP 1.52 NYY: RHP Mike Mussina, 2-1 , ERA 2.67 , WHIP 1.07 Very good odds on tampa with their young ace Kazmir on the mound today. Tampa was really good games against Yankees last season, 6-3 record at yankee stadium and 11-8 overall. Kazmir has a 2.81 ERA against the Yankees in three career appearances. Kazmir is a really promising talent and has the ability to strike out batters with a about 1 so per inning ratio. He has looked really good in his last 2 starts, so i feel pretty good backing him in this spot. Mussina has also been really good this season and he has as 13-5 record with a 3.47 ERA against Tampa Bay in his career. Though, most of those games were several years ago when tampas batting were much weaker. Yankees are good, but in this case their odds are very short. Tampa has above average batting and base running game and having their best starter Kazmir on the mound and also taking into consideration their great h2h last season with similar lineups against NYY, they are really worth a shot today imo. Boston Red Sox @ Cleveland Indians Indians 2.27 (Pinnacle) 6 units BOS: RHP Curt Schilling, 4-0 , ERA 1.61 , WHIP .75 CLE: RHP Jake Westbrook, 2-2 , ERA 5.92 , WHIP 1.32 It's not often that Indians are underdogs at home. Reason for these odds are Westbrooks bad last starts and Schillings amazing start for the season. Westbrook had really dominant first 2 starts, both home games and after that he had trouble in his last 2 road games. I see a lot of value in Indians here. They hit really good against righties, are at home and despite Westbrook harsh outing in last game i think he has the ability to bounce back at home, where he has been really dominant so far. Also Indians road trip didn't go as planned they went only 4-6 and must be motivated in front of their home crowd. Battingwise both of these teams are in top 4 of the American league, so will probably be a good match. I simply have to try the Tribe with these odds. Schilling can't go on this dominant forever and Indians like to hit against righties. Atlanta Braves @ Milwaukee Brewers Brewers 2.09 (Pinnacle) 5 units MIL: RHP Tomo Ohka, 1-1 , ERA 4.09 , WHIP 1.59 ATL: RHP Tim Hudson, 1-1 , ERA 6.08 , WHIP 1.48 I like this bet as Brewers are set as an underdog at home. Atlanta has been quite shaky in the beginning of this season and are still missing Edgar Renteria and Chipper Jones due to the injuries. Also Atlanta starter Hudson has been quite bad so far. His only good start was his last game agains Mets, who were missing Cliff Floyd and Carlos Beltran in that game. On the other hand Brewers have played good at home this season (7-4) and Tomo Ohka has been decent with only bad start in his last game against hard hitting Reds. Ohka was 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA in four games against the Braves last season. I'm putting medium stakes on the Brew Crew as i think they should be slight favorites in this game.
