Mlb 7/5

[Juuso]

San Fransisco Giants @ Philadelphia Phillies Phillies -1.5 2.50 (Mansion) 5 units SF: RHP Matt Morris (2-2, 5.18 ERA) PHI: RHP Jon Lieber (1-4, 6.87 ERA) Basically we have two pitchers here who are both very good, but have struggled early season and haven't gotten to their normal level yet. Jon lieber has had a lot of bad luck early season, he should be able to improve. He has a decent strikeout/walk ratio as well: 6,1 SO/9 and 0,7 BB/9 compared to Morris' 3,8 SO/9 and 3,5 BB/9. Moises Alou is placed on the disabled list and will weaken Giants batting quite noticeably. He has been their best batter so far this season. It's also possible Bonds will not play the whole game as Giants will move back to West coast for next game. He has been rested in b2b games quite often this season. Phillies are flying high winning 7 games in a row and they want to continue the winning ways, as they are still 5 games behind Mets in the NL east standings. Phillies have great batting game and their bullpen is quite good and performing well after bad start for the season, while Giants pen is really quite poor. Tom Gordon as the Phillies Closer has a 0.61 ERA and converted all the 10 save opportunities this season and has been one of the best closers in the MLB. I'm putting medium stakes on the runline. Phillies should win this handily if Lieber can throw even half a decent game. Texas Rangers @ New York Yankees Rangers 2.21 (Pinnacle) 5 units NYY: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (1-1, 4.89 ERA) TEX: RHP Robinson Tejeda (1-0, 3.60 ERA) I've bet and lost last 2 days with Rangers, but that just makes this one look even better. Rangers will not want to get swept and will field their best lineup tonight, while it's probably Yankees will rest few normal starters in the last game of this 3 game series, as they have a 2-0 lead already. Gary Sheffield is at least definitely out for Yankees tonight. Yankees haven't swept any 3 game serie on road this season. C. Wang will get the nod for Yankees. He is quite incostistent and usually gives up a lot of walks and hits. He has never faced Rangers in his career, but this is a pitcher Rangers should be able to hit. Texas starter Robinson Tejada, is a young promise, has been good in his short career in the majors. Last season he was 5-3 with an ERA of 3.57 and this year he recently had his first start, a win @ Tampa, allowing 2 runs in 5 frames of work. Tejada also had a 1.80 ERA in 4 day games last season.Yankees do have the most dangerous batting lineup in baseball, but Rangers do have a lot of firepower as well and should be able to limit the mistakes they did in the couple of first games. Odds are again too big for Rangers and today they have the better pitcher on the mound and should be extra motivated to avoid the sweep. Medium stakes for me.

Re: Mlb 7/5 once again an over 7.5 im taking on.Nats vs Pittsburgh @ 1.9 O connor has started well, but will he retain a .95 era with such inexperience.? Its highly unlikely. Im also onto the Blue Jays to win a evs. I anticipate that the Jays can get into lackey, especially if his whip goes back to his usual average of around 1.4.Men on base will signal trouble against this much power in the Jays lineup. The A's have had there stuggles . But i feel if Janssen can pitch just an average game today giving up between 2-4 runs that the jays will have enough power to get past this and pick up the win. 300 pt double
