4 Unit Play. Take the Minnesota Twins -110 over the Chicago Whitesox (Saturday @ 4:05pm est). There are lots of good picks of value out there today, including the possibility of the Angels as Saunders is 4-0 against the Red Sox and Penny comes back after an injury prone season, or the fact that Sabathia is on a bounce-back and Horatio is bullpen help that is temporarily being used as a starter and the Yankees have historically hammered him, but we will ride the Twins today as I'm never a fan of the RL when there is a possibility we can take a side without giving up a run if at all possible. Although Liriano pitched 7 innings and gave up 4 runs in his last start, the Twins were very pleased with the lefty. He is on a bounce-back today and I was surprised at how effective he was despite the fact he lost to the Mariners pitching over 90 pitches and only getting in some trouble here and there, but for the most part, was effective. The Whitesox are giving Colon an opportunity to make a start today as Ozzie likes the veteran, but he has not been that consistent of late. From with the Redsox last year, to minor league stints, to cactus games, Colon although can get his fast ball still over 90, still has not been that dominant as his Angels days. The Whitesox offense has been relatively weak to start the year as this new look lineup has only produced 10 runs in 4 games and consequently, they are 1-3. So, if Colon and the Whitesox are to win today, they need to be dominant which I just don't think Colon will be able to do that this game, at least this early on in the season as the jury is still out on his 09' season. The Twins on the other hand, have put up 25 runs in 5 games, come off a 12-5 win and are a very opportunistic team when runners in scoring position and have a pitcher that has already gotten his feet wet in his first game while Colon looks to get his feet wet for the first time in 09'. So, we have an edge in pitching + offense today so we will take that and use the Twinkies as our pod. The Sox are just 1-4 when facing a lefty at home of late and the Twins and 2-9 of late when the total is set this low. Let's ride Liriano on the bounce-back as I wish the Twins didn't win by such a large margin yesterday, but with the edge in both sides of the ball today, let's ride Minny this afternoon.
