Orioles, Blue Jays Under 8

08/19/2007 1:07 PM

temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Brian Bannister has quietly been one of the most pleasant surprises in baseball, and his Royals have had uncanny success in Oakland going 7-2 here, so go Royals.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Kelvim Escobar is certainly having a great year for the Angels, but his ERA is significantly higher on the road, and Dustin McGowan has been lights out lately, so play the Blue Jays at home.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Tim Lincecum has lived up to the hype, with a nice 3.41 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the road and 121 strikeouts in 111.1 innings overall. Conversely, Chuck James has been very inconsistent, and he has a 6.75 ERA in his last three starts. Look for Barry Bonds & Co. to support Lincecum by scoring enough runs to post the upset in this spot.

LT Profits Sports Group - Halladay has not been himself for most of this season with a 4.17 ERA, while the Angels are 18-4 in Saunders’ last 22 stats. Look for an upset in Toronto tonight.

temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - No Michael Vick, no problem! Expect an inspired effort from the Falcons tonight, as new coach Bobby Petrino keeps his starters in a tad longer and pulls the upset.
 
temporary image holder

temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - The Mariners look for the road sweep tonight, visiting an Orioles team that has struggled with winning teams. Back the Mariners as a dog vs. Daniel Cabrera tonight.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Yes, Chris Young has looked more like Cy Young this year.

Also do not forget that the Cardinals have dominated the head-to-head series at Busch Stadium, going 26-9 in the last 35 meetings, so look for an upset.
 
temporary image holder

temporary image holder

temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Oakland has been an ATM machine for the Under at home, and given that the Under is also 36-15 in recent meetings with the Angels, tonight should be no different. Look for Chad Gaudin to return to his first half form for one night, and for the southpaw Joe Saunders to give Oakland fits.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - A couple of Cy Young candidates hook up when Haren faces Verlander in Oakland tonight. Take the Under here, as runs should be at a premium.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - The Royals are an enticing underdog tonight, as Meche is having a much better year than Baker, and the offenses are worlds apart lately, so back Kansas City.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Carlos Zambrano leads the National League in wins with 13, and he has gone 10 straight starts of allowing three runs or less. With Belisle decent lately, go Under.
 
temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - Both Billingsley and Jimenez are in fine form, and Coors Field has become a more honest park than ever before. Look for the seventh straight Under in this series.
 
temporary image holder

temporary image holder
LT Profits Sports Group - The Yankees and Royals stayed Under last night, and look for another Under tonight with this big total. Igawa has improved lately, and de la Rosa has had some shining moments this season, and he held the Yankees scoreless in his only start against them. Add in two improved bullpens, and go Under.
