American league:
Three dog night: Woof!
Tampa Bay -101
Anyone who took the Rays last night still has to be smarting from the meltdown in the ninth, but it won’t happen tonight with Kazmir on the Hill. Kazmir has better numbers in his last three starts and he will be a dog by the time first pitch rolls around. We have an umpire that favors the road teams and some decent trends to back this up.
Road team is 12-5 in Cousins' last 17 Wednesday games behind home plate.
Road team is 5-2 in Cousins' last 7 games behind home plate.
Road team is 5-0 in Cousins' last 5 Wednesday games behind home plate vs. Tampa Bay.
Road team is 4-0 in Cousins' last 4 games behind home plate vs. Tampa Bay
Devil Rays are 5-1 in Kazmir's last 6 starts after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game
Texas +143
Anyone else notice that the Tigers are not playing good baseball? Millwood is still technically the ace of this staff and to get hit at this price is too good to pass up.

The same thing that I said about Detroit I could say about Boston. The travel put them in a funk and they are playing sluggish and got shut out by a southpaw last night and why anyone would back them tonight is beyond me. The A’s are getting the clutch hits at the right time and getting great bullpen work. Kennedy’s numbers are much better in the last three stars than Wakefield’s and we have a home umpire. The A’s ae one of the best home teams in June in the last five years.
