So sit back, enjoy and watch your pockets get fat! Booya!

Sept. 23

Marlins (Olsen) @ Nationals (Martis)
-I like the Nats in this one (+114) being at home and everytime I've had a feeling with them in the last month they've come through. Olsen beat the Nats in Florida against Martis 10 days ago 6-1. A solid outing for both starting pitchers in that game. Martis struck out 9 and the bullpen blew it from the 6th on.

Cubs (Marshall) @ NY Mets (Santana)
-Like the Cubs to cover the 1.5 (+105) in this one. Santana is good, real good, especially in his last 10 outings or so. The Cubs counter with Sean Marshall who has been pretty solid himself his last 3 starts. The Mets are feeling the pressure of repeating last years collapse and missing the playoffs. The Cubs will counter Santana with a heavy right hand hitting lineup including Reed Johnson who is hitting .546 lifetime against Santana. Mets may win, but not by more than a run.

NY Yankees (Mussina) @ Toronto (Litsch)
-Take the Jays (+107). NY is still emotional after last nights final game in Yankee Stadium and travelling north of the border won't help. Litsch has been good lately. He went throught a rough stretch in July but was solid in August & Sept not giving up more than 3 ER in any start.

Angels (Weaver) @ Seattle (Feierabend)
-This is my upset special for the day. Seattle has lost 12 in a row and they've gotta break that sometime right? I say the Angels, with nothing really to play for now, tank this one and Seattle wins 9-3....

Good Luck!! Booya!!
