This made my night much better. Can't forget Chase Headley in all of this either, his clutch double on a full count with 2 outs brought home the tying run which made the bomb by Blanks possible.
Initial leans for (Taboo) Tuesday in no particular order, except for the first two which will be plays.
Twins
Royals
Tribe
As
Brewers
Marlins
Padres
Sea/Det O
Bos/Tor O
Bal/TB U
Col/Was U
Stl/LAD O
Pavano v. Feldman has autoplay written all over it as does the Royals as a short dog at the Cell. I'm sure Fausto will get torched against the Angels.
Oakland is rather high so that might be a pass, that and I just fucking hate the As. Not sure why but it might have to do with my record playing those bums.
Parra almost always gets a look when he pitches.
Let's see if Nolasco can improve on this
gem he pitched last time out against Bud.
I've never heard of
Cesar Carrillo, but he worked an effective 2.1 innings against Milwaukee earlier in the season. By effective I mean an FIP of over 24 (disclaimer: small sample size, however a 4.82 ERA, 1.42WHIP and 6.2 K/9 in the minors are not indicators of major league success).
I thought the Ms-Tigers over would be automatic, but the drop to 7.5 makes that less likely. That's almost like taking an over 7 (down to 6.5 by game time) in the National League.
Who does that? Same can be said for the Sawx-Jays total as well.
Berken & Price and Jimenez & Stammen appear to be a solid under combos.
As for the final total in LA, Boggs blows and Billingsley has not been close to his early season form (uh-oh getting into some quasi-handicapping).
