yankees2.jpg New York Yankees - Cleveland Indians

It's a big game, between two classy team, where of course is hard to predict a winner, but today I'm going to take hosts because I can't imagine a sweep for him in here. They lost both matches so far, having (17-18) balance now, but they're really solid and especially at home I'm sure they must win at least one game, even if opponents are of course one of the best in league. Today Yankees will have great Mike Mussina (4.23 ERA), who ought to be a tough opponent for Indians batters and I expect good game from him, pitching well about seven innings. On the other hand Cleveland is of course great team, but they didn't in best shape this season, with (16-17) balance, so they just can't win three consecutive games with NY. I know that Paul Byrd (3.74 ERA) is solid pitcher, but he didn't impress me so Yankees with -1.5 handicap is my choice in here. Runline with juicy @ 2.45 at Canbet ought to be value bet.

Colorado Rockies - St. Louis Cardinals

I know that I lost many units betting on Cardinals, but I must have them on my MLB selection another one time because they're underrate day after day, without any reasons. Rockies are mediocre this year with (13-21) balance, having many bad periods and I rate their overal play rather low, especially pitching and defensive stuff. Of course they're 2-1 in this small series against St. Louis, but last game they lost (3-4) and I think it ought to be similar today. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that Jorge De La Rosa (20.25 ERA) can't be rate as a favorite ever, especially with his form nowadays and Cardinals batters should have 'home runs' festival in here. St. Louis is really good so far with (22-13), they'll start with solid Kyle Lohse (3.79 ERA), who maybe wasn't great in last matches, but he shouldn't be below some solid levels and I think that guests must be favorites in here because home factor can't be as important for Rockies. @ 2.00 odd on them is just too good to miss in my view.

Detroit Tigers - Boston Red Sox

It's another big game, between classy teams, but so far this season only one played really good baseball. Tigers were really disappointing so far with (15-20) balance and I really don't expect second win in a row for them against Red Sox. They won yesterday (10-9), but that was rather a break day for guests, who had young pitcher after two nice wins, so today I think Boston will win another one time. They're main favorites to the title, having so far (22-14) balance and they're just the best in whole league, there's no doubt about it. Also starting pitcher is much better in guests as they'll start with Josh Beckett (4.19 ERA), while Tigers will have unstable and inconsistent Justin Verlander (6.28 ERA). @ 1.86 is maybe not the best price in such game, on guests, but Red Sox are just favorites in here to win this game, maybe runline is also nice option.
