captain chaos mlb cannonball run

i am in. and i will start right now:

2 units each:
Nats+116.
Braves beat Day like a red headed stepchild, but he has had a long rest, ramirez shouldnt last long after a strenuous last outing and the braves should be sluggish with this their 3rd city in the last 72 hours. TJ Tucker is on injured list but ayala and cordero imo way much more than what the braves have to offer and braves pen is taxed from the last 2 nights.

SD-116

Again going with the travel angle here. Dodgers coming off big comeback win and Padres settling in nicely at home. If Pads get into the Blueboys BUllpen they will have the advantage.

tor-nyy 1st 5 under 5+105

both teams travelled into toronto after extensive travelling. my bet is the pitchers are way ahead of the hitters early on.

and here are the one uniters

one unit:
KC 1st 5 +270

Principle bet here. Lima has been getting rocked, but after that 1st inning last time out he settled down nicely. Santana is getting wins but he has not been perfect. Worth a shot that KC can get a lead after 5 innings.

Phillies-COL over 10-115

totals arent my thing, but with lidle and wright, i simply cannot pass this one up. rockies bats are bad but they should get some lucky runs in coors field east.

AZ-SF over 9

Both teams have high batting avgs and terrible middle relief.

two big ones to start the day:

3 units each:

was nats+125

smoltz has pitched well his last 2 outings, but the nats have had some success off him through the years and nats hit righties way better than they do lefties. braves offense is pathetic and just like i said last night, the extensive travel is wearing them down at the plate. oh yeah, and john patterson has been nothing short of phenomenal for the dc team. in a situation like this i have to take the home team with a hot pitcher vs a weak offense. not sure but estrada may sit also after catching last night, and that weakens the braves lineup even more.

cubs +156

cubs may have lost nomar forever last night but his bat out of the lineup will be a blessing as he was hitting a buck fifty. perez is a more than adequate replacement and hairston will play 2nd, and he has been doing well with the bat. dempster has been improving steadily since his season openng debacle and his strikeouts per 9 innings is really high. carpenter has had success vs hou and mil, 2 below avg hitting teams, and my bet is that he gets knocked around all over the yard by the base hit hitting cubs.
