12* Giants/AZ Under 8 +100

Holy cow do I love this one. In the last 45 IP by Vogelsong, he has allowed only 5 ER, 1 HR, and 11 walks. He has allowed 38 hits, but the guy pitches well with runners on and in scoring position. Kennedy has had a bad outing against FL his last go around, but the last time he faced the Giants hitters, he threw 8 shutout innings allowing only 4 hits and 8 SOs in a 0-1 loss. Line is set way to high at 8 and I expect this one to be similar to that 5/10 game. Lean to the giants winning this one with a score of 2-1.

6* Sox/Twins over 8 -115
Buehrle does nothing but get smashed on the road and the Twins are on a bit of a streak. I would expect the Sox to bring their A game and blast in a few while the Twinkies continue their hitting.

4* Orioles/Jays over 9 -120
About as high as I will go in terms of juice for a total, but I really like this one. Guthrie is getting hit consistently and the Jays have a ridiculous offense. They hit righties at .292 and Guthrie has not had his stuff. Zach Stewart skipping AAA going right to the big club for his debut. This game just reeks of runs.

2* NYY/Texas Over ?
Pending on what the total is set out this could jump up to a 4* play. Setting at two if it lands around 9.5 or 10. The Yanks are feeling it even without Jeter and the Rangers will look to hit to avoid embarrassment.

2* Marlins/Phillies over 8 -110
As Ran pointed out Lee can definitely shut down any team, and certainly can shut down the Marlins, and is Superb in day games. I will bite though, because the way the Phils are hitting I think they can get this total on their own. Vazquez is probably wishing for this day to be over already.
