Sept 24, 2008

Well, not so bad for the first day...2-2, batting .500. Should have been 3-1 if that combacker to Marshall doesn't hit the broken bat and bounce into right field the Cubs get out of the 5th w/ no runs and probably hold on to beat the Mets. Oh well....Nats and Seattle winning kept you ahead for the day.
Here we go...

Sept. 24

Braves (Reyes) @ Phillies (Meyers)
-Take the Phils (-270) in this one. Bret Meyers has been solid in his last 9 starts with the only exception being his last one against Florida. Other than that game he hasn't given up more than 3 runs a start. The Braves counter with Jo Jo Reyes who has lost his last 10 and they haven't been close. The Phillies are still fighting for the playoffs and will have no problem against the Braves at home.

Cleveland (Carmona) @ Red Sox (Byrd)
-I like Boston in this one. They just clinched a playoff spot last night and could suffer from a slight hangover. I think they still want to win the division and will come out with guns drawn. Paul Byrd is going against his old team and I give that advantage to the pitcher. Fausto Carmona has been getting hit around pretty good in his last 10-12 starts. Even in his wins he's given up 5+ runs multiple times. This could be a high scoring game.

Yankees (Hughes) @ Toronto (Burnett)
-I like the over (8.5, -120) in this one. I just think that after a 3-1 game the night before that both will come out strong. The Yankees are just playing for pride at this point and the Blue Jays want to finish above the Yanks in the division to feel good going into next year. I'm thinking 11-8...

Good Luck! Booya!!

Season...2-2
