Baltimore Orioles (147) over New York Yankees (1.5 Units) -

We were quite clear before that these Yankees should not be favorites but boy did we look foolish yesterday when the Orioles got shut out. But we've definitely got their backs again today and this time as a game of the week caliber pick.

Getting shutout on the road does not generally bode well for a team, we'll admit that.. but the Yankees should not be -160 with Kennedy.. Their win yesterday dampened the negativity surrounding the team with respect to the odds that they are getting. Kennedy had so much expectations coming into the season and today's game is going to be rough for him.

This is what Yahoo Sports had to say:

"Kennedy will try again for his first win of the season when he faces the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, one night after Rodriguez’s offensive outburst helped end New York’s longest losing streak of the season."

So with the Orioles looking to bounce back off a shutout loss, they will definitely find a good young pitcher to take advantage of. This game is action on Kennedy pitching for the Yankees.

Chicago White Sox (100) over Cleveland Indians (1.0 Units) -

You have got to like these White Sox at +100 with their 7 straight wins against the Indians who have lost 5 straight games.

Dogs in divisional rivalry games with 5+ consecutive wins has returned +19 units dating back to the beginning of the 2006 season. And with these White Sox being undervalued all season, we like our chances getting them at this price.

Atlanta Braves (111) over New York Mets (1.0 Units) -

We were lucky not to take the Mets yesterday as we were very close to doing... because otherwise we would have gone a horrible 0-3 for the day. Well, now our sentiments on this series has changed. We feel that all the momentum the Mets had coming into the series has completely eroded and now the value lies with these Braves... and then check it out -- we've got them as underdogs! The Mets lose a doubleheader and then get blown out yesterday so we do not feel good about their offense today. So even though Santana is on the mound, the Braves can do them one better with Hudson... This game is action on Hudson pitching...
