BOL

Orioles: I really don’t like the BoSox late inning heroics, especially not after last night and also because I am already holding my nose backing Bud Norris, who is only slightly better than Jake Peavy at this point in time. But the early game is a little better story. The BoSox have scored over my benchmark of 32.1 only 3 times versus the last 15 righty starters they have faced and post only 3 earned runs per 9 innings versus that group. The Orioles are much better of at 10 games over the benchmark and 5.6 earned runs per nine.

Atros: Of all the picks I posted yesterday the Astros drew the fewest comments, as if they don’t exist, or you boys were just excusing my senility. Reality check: The Astros provided not only 2 of the 4 wins but won the most convincingly, and at the greatest return per dollar of risk. I don’t care, go ahead, ignore me and think it was a fluke or they just got lucky. Bettors are not quite as stupid today and are not moving the line as much in our favor as they did yesterday, but only because they hate the Diamondbacks almost as much as the Astros. The Astros are still under valued in what is essentially a tossup pitching match up, but they do hold a significant offensive advantage, and that is not solely based on what they did yesterday, capice?

Like the astros as well, For the most part, Cosart seems to keep the astros in all the games he pitches.
