Seattle +125
The Seahawks are playing every bit as well as anyone right now. They're 29-16 at home, and Weaver has apparently gotten it together after a rough start to the season, giving up just 7ER in his last 6 starts. Detroit is no slouch and neither is Verlander, but the Detroit bullpen remains questionable while Seattle's is solid and is a major advantage for them in this one. Alot of value with Seattle here as long as Weaver doesn't blow up, which is always a concern with him, although he's proven lately to be in good form, and I have to go with recent performance and what has been happening, over what could possibly happen.
Arizona -146
Not real often I go fishing at a -146 fave, but Webb has owned SD, giving up only 2 runs in 16 IP against them this season. SD's bullpen has failed them recently, and Germano has gotten bombed in his last 2 starts. Worth the price IMO, as it's tough to see SD teeing off on Webb today.
St Louis +130
May be stupid reasoning, but the Phils look to avoid loss #10,000 on national TV tonight. Lots of pressure I'd think, especially if they fall behind or start struggling and the boo birds come out, lol. Not my strongest play of the day by any means as far as statistically, but I make as many situational plays as anyone, and this is a spot where I like the value on the Cards. I also like that Larussa left Maroth out there to take a beating yesterday instead of using up his pen again after the whole 1 inning Kip Wells lasted the night before....almost like once Maroth started struggling he was conceding the loss yesterday and planning on going all out to avoid the sweep tonight and be the ones to hand the Phils loss #10,000.
