Saturday
We were close to a perfect Friday as Ireland and Toronto cruised to their wins and San Francisco got a great start from Cain but ultimately lost 3-1. As mentioned yesterday, we are on Chicago today at home to Vancouver and we also beat the public money in as the line is now down to +120 from +145.
One definite play today in Seattle where we are hopping on this before the lineups. I don’t want to issue a Code Green free money alert just yet, but it’s definitely a strong play. Yankees (Pettite) @ Seattle (Saunders) +121. In soccer, Vancouver may be a play in Seattle late as over half of the Sounders lineup is away for internationals.
Lastly, Francisco Liriano (Yes, that one) moved to 4-2 on the season for the Pirates, throwing seven shutout innings at Wrigley yesterday striking out eight. Admittedly, he was facing the Cubs with the wind blowing in, but he has a 1.75 ERA and 47 strikeouts in six starts and 36 innings. I saw someone on MLB network a few weeks ago analyzing Liriano and concluding that what he was doing wouldn’t continue being effective for whatever reason, but he’s obviously been excellent so far.
Updates, if any, later today.
