SOLID GOLD: GUARANTEED 3-0 SATURDAY SWEEP!
(909) COL Rockies vs (910) CIN Reds Game Starts at July 26 2008 16:10 EST Take (909) COL Rockies Rockies southpaw Jorge De La Rosa is pretty streaky, and he comes in off a very strong effort, so there's a decent chance he pitches well again here. I have no problem fading Homer Bailey, as the highly touted Reds prospect just hasn't shown he can get it done at this level. The Rockies loom as the right side.
(923) LA Angels vs (924) BAL Orioles Game Starts at July 26 2008 16:05 EST Take (923) LA Angels Jon Garland has enjoyed quite a bit of success against the Orioles. The Angels should do well against Radhames Liz, as their patient approach is likely to work against a flame throwing righty who often has trouble locating home plate. I prefer the steady hurler here, and that's Garland, so the Angels are the choice.
(919) NYY Yankees vs (920) BOS Red Sox Game Starts at July 26 2008 12:55 EST Take (919) NYY Yankees Andy Pettitte has been a frequent thorn in the side of the Red Sox. Tim Wakefield has that knuckler dancing lately, and the Red Sox continue to be pretty amazing at home. But Wakefield has had some trouble with several of the Yanks he'll be seeing here, and Pettitte has been mostly solid for a NY team that's been strong lately. I'm going to have to take the short dog odds with the Yankees.
