Jered pitched a good game yesterday, but Jeff did not and the Weaver brothers continue they're different path. Well I have plays on Angel's and Seattle's game.
Escobar takes the mound for the Angels against the South Siders and Sox will counter with their big gun Mark Buehrle. Interesting note to this game is both pitchers have struggled against their respective match up (Buehrle 1-3 4.16 ERA against Angels and Escobar 2-9 5.93 ERA against White Sox) But no matter pitching is setting the tone and both pens looks good to go. Expecting a improved outing with Escobar and the outcome to be close.
CHI/LAA UNDER 9 at -105 for 2 units(W)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
KC at Seattle will feature starter fill in and project in progress. Baek filling in for King Felix and Bannister is a call up who Bell said is expected to stay in the bigs for awhile so not too much emphasis will be put on his first start. Pen will get action in this game and I like the chance on the Over.

I'm fishing for a good ML price on Braves at Rockies. Taking Smoltz on the road and if the line looks square to you maybe you caught Hirsh's last game in San Diego where he shined against Maddux. Jason Hirsh is no doubt a good young pitcher with a nice curve mixing in change ups with his fastball and lefties are only hitting .200 too bad Smoltz will look to redeem himself where he is 10-4 against the Rox.
Braves are getting -115 or about so I'm shooting for -110 or better.
ATL ML -109 2 units(W)
-------------------------------------------------
Another game I like, but have not pulled the trigger, is BOS/NYY Over 11. How many Overs does the Yankees have? Karstens will tax the bull pen once again and New York enters another game where they're option is to out score the opponents rather than to out pitch.
Not ready to take this yet as Red Sox UNDER on the road is stronger than Yankees OVER at home.
Didn't take it.
-------------------------------------------------
Something about Weaver of Angels...I recall watching his older brother (now with Seattle) in amazement when he first came up. Array of arsenals he pitched with command and he could drop down on you with the sweeping side arm I thought he was going to be really good, but mediocrity in result will water down all that good stuff. Ok, no more talk of bad genes.
Jered had a late start and needs to put in more innings he is pitching well with no physical problem with his biceps. It's just those bad inning with +30 pitches that's costing him game.
Alright Garland will go up for Chi Sox and Angels are his nemesis. Angels are showing losses on the road, but showing better bat and pen is tops in Majors. Time to turn it around.

Giants vs Dodgers is always a good match up no matter how the two teams are in the standings.
Dodgers had owned this match up in Los Angeles but I guess they forgot to tell the Giants that last night (6-4 G-Men). 3rd of the series is another good one with Penny going against Russ Ortiz the heavy underdog. I like the Under in this match up both pitcher are able to pitch deep, bull pens are good and the money is pushing the number from 8 to 8.5 Dodgers recent Over run (4-1 O/U last 5) combined with strong home Over trend (7-3 O/U) and Barry Bonds popping HR's hitting .433 in last 10 games will give this Under better than fair value. Keep in mind Giants playing 5-13 O/U I like the Under, but also looking for better price with a higher total.
What is up with Matchbook!? They are refusing to give SFG/LAD TOTAL 8.5 and holding at 8 with Over getting heavy juice. I see Pinnacle offering Under 8.5 at +107, to non-US customers, doing me no good. I'm going to hold off for 8.5 and if it doesn't happen I'll have to call it.
Since I'm waiting on Giants/Dodgers total I'll put one more that's available to take.
Cincy ML at -104 looks good to take early.

I checked out the game early and chalked it up as a winner, WTF do I know.
Making a late addition, Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles. It's a square play on Boston with Beckett going against Cabrera. I do like Cabrera on the mound he eats up innings, but you have to watch his performance fluctuation he can get bit wild. I expect Beckett to rise to expectation he received when he first came to Boston and that is a high bar.
BOS -137 for 2 units(W)
BTW, Phil Hughes pitching for the Yankees have a live arm. Quiet kid cruised through Spring Training good enough to make the 5th spot on the rotation. Joe Torre said we should not see this kid early as he wanted to groom him in triple A unless the Yanks get into trouble. Well, Yanks are on the slide and they need to stop the bleeding. Looking forward to seeing the kid pitch in Bronx. I would back this if not for the inflated price Yankees bring to money line. I'd say majority has little idea of Hughes, but they are counting on Yanks being due.
I'm glad I stayed off the Under at Dodger stadium.

It's going to be a nice day in Los Angeles. It's a kind of day you want to pick up your bat & glove and head out to the nearest park. Hope everyone caught the Yanks vs BoSox series. Do they have game or what? The season is still young and that was just an appetiser keep your eyes on American League East.
I have a theory on Yanks and Red Sox, especially after a series like that, it drains the teams.
So we have D-Rays taking on the Yanks (Over 10~10.5 is a popular pick) Yanks will send Kei Igawa to the mound and he is hittable, but this is not my pick because New York lost the Boston series there is a good chance for Yanks to take this game regardless of pitching.
My take is on Toronto at Boston. Big Dog Blue Jays might be tempting too bad their pen is too risky to support any lead although I think the runs will be tough tonight. Boston before the NY series played out an Under series with Toronto and they are still a Under trending team. Toronto on it's recent form is not driving in runs. The key will be Ohka pitching as deep into the game as possible and he is capable of going 7 innings.

I'm going with the total Brewers at Reds. Numbers point to weak pitching on both sides setting a high total in a National League game. I will roll with it.
MIL/CIN OVER 9 at -101 for 2 units(W)

Yankees travel to Brandenton today to face Paul Maholm and the Pirates. I think Maholm is headed for a winning 2007 season. He will face Kei Igawa who is known as a slow starter. Igawa is not pitching like he was in Japan during his Hashin Tiger days. He was a mid 85~86 mph fastball guy with good change up to keep the hitters off balance. Now he is throwing harder in the 90's and pitching off balance, according to Posada. I would attribute that to Igawa trying to impress his new team doing more than he should. Until he settles down I expect more of the same type of outing in his last game, hard time hitting the strike zone.
I've also learned Yankees will be without Giambi, Jeter and Matsui today.

Grapefruit League
I've got to watch couple of Yankee games, one at Legends field and another at Progressive Energy field, my feeling is the projected line up is not quite up to to their potential. I was expecting Yankees to run up the score against the D-Rays, but Shields did a pretty good job.
A-Rod doesn't seem to be up to speed and Matsui doesn't seem to be up to speed. The Pitchers are looking pretty impressive though. If I was feeling bit more daring I would go against the Yanks and take a shot with visiting Pirates today, I think you can get the Bucs at +150 or so, but it looks like good chance of rain and I have not seen Mussina on the mound. Going against the National League at Legends field today Torre might mix the line up a bit and give some of the young guys a chance to play. That means good value for the visiting Bucs with short distance travel from Brandenton. One advantage I do have being in Tampa is I'll get a peak at the starting line up when it first comes out unfortunately I'm not going to carry my computer around so at this point this game is a no play. Too bad there's no totals for the games out NYY games have been low scoring for the first two games which is unusual for March games and very likely to erupt soon.
Another come from behind win for the Yanks second game in a row! The rain did come, but it didn't stop the game. I'll be looking forward to the match up with Detroit Tigers on Monday when the new Japanese pitcher Kei Igawa takes the mound. Tomorrow's game will feature Pavano on the mound for the Yanks on the away game, but no wager here as it looks like a split squad will go on the road trip.

I'll be looking forward to the match up with Detroit Tigers on Monday when the new Japanese pitcher Kei Igawa takes the mound. Tomorrow's game will feature Pavano on the mound for the Yanks on the away game, but no wager here as it looks like a split squad will go on the road trip.

Legends Fields where the grass is Greener
Today was the first day of live batting practice. Chilly weather has turned around and finally it's starting to feel like spring. No Bernie Williams at Yankees camp I guess he's rejecting minor league offer as non roster invitee. Roger Clemens sighting was reported at Astro's camp I've heard he's working out with his son. Boston camp is a total media circus.
It's not like I have some kind of insight just because I'm here in Florida, but it sure is fun.
Live batting practice will give future speculation into upcoming exhibition games with some tell tale signs as to who will be pitching when. It'll be an educated guess nothing else besides who can tell how these pitchers will perform. Oh yeah, Pavano threw some live ball as well as Pettite and Moose. The hot prospect for the Yanks pitching staff will be young Hughes. I'll be back with the other pitchers tomorrow.
