2 Games Today

Portfolio: $827 (-10.2% return)
S&P 500: $1109 (20.4% return)

Today's Games

Colorado (-120) @ Minnesota (+100)
Arizona (+130) @ Boston (-150)

In the first game Ubaldo Jimenez is matched up against Francisco Liriano in what should be a great game. Jimenez has been the best pitcher in baseball so far and Liriano has really stepped it up as of late and looks like his 2006 self. Jimenez hasn't been great lately though. He is walking way too many. Liriano has been on fire lately and is probably pitching better than anyone in baseball. I like the Twins getting even money.

In the second game Dan Haren is matched up against John Lackey. Haren has probably suffered through the worst luck out of any pitcher this year. His indicators are amazing, so he should start to heat up. Lackey looks like he has lost some stuff. His K's are down considerably and his walks are up. Since his K's are down his hits are up and that is not surprising. Usually those two stats work that way. He has gotten his walks under control lately, but that still does not impress me. I like Haren to pitch strong as the underdog and I just hope the bullpen doesn't blow it.

Bets

$20 MIN +100
$10 ARI +130
