Tampa is definitely someone I considered very strongly. Davis has been getting rocked but he should be 'fresh' in this one. I just can't back him as he's one of the worst pitchers in the league. Rays' pen is one of the worst so you better hope Davis 'lasts'.
Giants is tougher to back as they're on the road. Godfrey is a pretty solid pitcher who had a bad outing his last time out. Neither team hits the ball well and I would expect a very close game in this one coming down to the wire. In these kinds of games I'd look to back a home-dog so this one would be a PASS IMO.
Dodgers is another team laying a lot of 'juice'. Houston has better BP and better hitting #'s overall and they've been decent against lefties. Myers is just not the same pitcher he was last year and it's always hard for me to back Lilly who I see as a very mediocre pitcher (35% GB%; 4 xFIP).
I hope you hit all 3 though. A lot of 'risk' and not sure if it's justified in these plays.

Brewers was an ALMOST play. Huge starting pitching advantage for Milwaukee but a couple of factors that made it a pass: Marcum is a fly-ball pitcher (a reason why I should have passed on backing Greinke in Wrigley Field yesterday) and BoSox have crushed him in his last 3 starts against them last year. I just couldn't pull the trigger, even though it's MIL or pass in this one.
Marlins/Rays. I don't like Wade Davis as I feel he's a horrible pitcher. That being said, he's coming 2 poor outings and will be very 'fresh' for this one. Marlins have never seen him before. Hand is a solid prospect and Rays' bats have never seen him either. Both offenses are below-average and Marlins do have an advantage in the bullpen. That being said, I just can't back them on the road in this spot.

im thinking about riding the nats tonight too and philly the two hot teams
something kept me off the Nats (can't remember what) as originally I wanted to back them here also. Phills going cross country and facing a stud in Pineda. Aren't the odds moving in Seattle's favor here?
