Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds
No-Brainer on Chicago White Sox -105
Take the White Sox tonight against Bronson Arroyo and the struggling Reds. The Reds are 2-5 in their last 7 overall, and Arroyo has failed to earn a win in each of his last 3 starts, where he has a 6.23 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP. Tonight's starter for the White Sox, Jose Contreras, on the other hand, has had 3 consecutive quality starts, going 2-1 with a 1.37 ERA and a 0.71 WHIP. In each of his last two starts he has gone 8 innings without allowing a run. The White Sox have fared well in interleague play, earning a 5-3 record so far, while the Reds have managed just 2 wins in 6 games against the American League this season. The smart play is on the White Sox tonight.
New York Yankees vs Florida Marlins
Florida Marlins +117
After losing back to back games against the Nationals, the Yankees are now 4-5 in interleague play on the season as they head into Florida to play the Marlins. The Marlins are backed by starting pitcher Sean West tonight, who has been a welcome surprise to their rotation. West is 2-1 on the season and has earned a 3.00 ERA, including a 2.60 ERA in 3 starts at home. Yankee starter, Andy Pettitte has struggled over his last 3 outings, lasting an average of just 5 2/3 innings and giving up 11 earned runs in 16 innings pitched (6.19 ERA). The Yankees have to be looking to put the Washington series behind them, but I like Sean West to continue his string of solid starts and pick up the win for Florida tonight.
Pittsburgh Pirates vs Colorado Rockies
Pittsburgh Pirates +150
Colorado has been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the past few weeks, winning 13 of their last 14 overall, winning 11 straight at one point, but this is still a .500 team with a 14-15 record on their home field. Pittsburgh starter, Ross Ohlendorf has been solid, if not unlucky this season, earning a 6-5 record, a 4.56 ERA, and a 1.27 WHIP to this point. Jason Marquis starts for the Rockies, and though he is 8-4 on the season, he has struggled in his 6 starts at Colorado. Over 6 home starts, Marquis has a 4.62 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP. In his last three starts he has given up 23 hits and 8 walks in just 19 2/3 innings pitched. Sooner or later those baserunners are going to turn into runs, and the Rockies are going to be in trouble. Great value on Pittsburgh on the moneyline tonight.

Pick: Over 10
With Kensen Kawakami facing Daisuke Matsuzaki tonight makes for a very high scoring game and a strong play on the Over for this evening. Kensen Kawakami has not faired well so far on the road this season posting a 5.81 ERA and 1.936 WHIP. This does not bowed well for a start in hitter friendly Fenway Park. While to be honest Daisuke Matsuzaki has not looked good since returning from the DL with a 6.13 ERA and a 1.812 WHIP. Add this all up and you can see how a high scoring game is on tap for tonight.
