split yesterday, winning with the Astros, but losing the big "I Like It ALOT" play on the over in the Rays/W. Sox. Brings the record on those plays to 6-3.

I have 2 for today. Gonna be tied up in a deposition most of the day, so let's get to it:

First I like the Twins with Perkins -106 to the A's. Perkins has mediocre numbers for sure, but compared to Cahill, his numbers are far better. In July, Cahill has allowed 16 hits and 11 walks (with only 4 strikeouts) in 13.2 innings, for an ERA of 7.90, a 2.045 WHIP and a .291 batting average against. He walks a ton of guys (7th in the AL). Again, Perkins' numbers have been weak, but the A's suck dick against lefties, batting an AL-worst .229.

Tonight I like the BoSox with Buchholz at -122 to the Rangers. Buchholz won his first outing last week. At Pawtucket he was a monster this year, going 7-2 with a 2.36 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP and a .188 batting average against. Padilla has a 6.00 ERA and a .338 batting average against at home. In July his ERA is only 4.15, but his batting average against is .358. Check out the career numbers against him: Kotsay .385; Drew .368; Ortiz .333; Youkilis .417; and Green .429.

Wednesday's day/night two-fer is the Twins and the Red Sox.
