8* White Sox +110
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the visitors:
Gavin Floyd is really coming into his own and I believe will get the better of his counterpart tonight.
He gave up two runs on five hits in Thursday's game against the Indians; over six innings he struck out seven while allowing just three walks.
In the other dugout: Ricky Romero looked sharp enough in his debut, but got the no decision. Romero was 6-7 with a 4.85 ERA in night games a year ago.
Bottom line: Althought the White Sox have struggled at the Rogers Center in the past, the additions of Andruw Jones and Mark Teahen has transformed this team and their power was on display last night.
I believe the Jay's will suffer a letdown after last nights loss and believe the Sox will remain hot at the plate; look for Gavin to do just enough to secure the victory; play on the WHITE SOX!

Denver +6.5
Denver are built for the playoffs, and historically play their best basketball vs. the top-tier teams' in the league. Tonight their playoffs begin early in Phoenix. With a win, the Nuggets will win the NBA Northwest, and lock up a #3 seed in the Playoffs. Lawson is back, and key for Denver, is Kenyon Martin's return two games ago. Too many points in this situation, for a team that has a legitimate chance at a straight up 'W.' Take Denver.

Denver +6
Two things at work here. Number one is the division title for the Nuggets who will NO DOUBT have their A Game tonight. Denver can win the NW division tonight in a place where they have dropped 10 straight and were blasted by double digits last time in here. Denver is playing better defense than the Suns and have a frontcourt advantage and not sure of the Suns motivation here either. Denver has some serious mindset headed into this one, and with something on the line in their final regular season game, getting points here is a gift. Play 2 Units on Denver.

3 Units: Toronto -120
Toronto suffered a tough defeat last night to Chicago, but I expect them to bounce back tonight. The Blue Jays allowed the White Sox to score a 9th inning run after they held the lead going in, then Chicago proceeded to win the game in extra innings. However, the White Sox send Gavin Floyd to the mound tonight, who has had a strong home/road dichotomy in his performance over the years. In fact, the difference in his pitching at home compared to on the road is one of the biggest of any pitcher. Toronto has the better line-up right now in my opinion. Their hitters performed well yesterday, and I expect them to bounce back and get the home win at a good price.

Baltimore +115
Tampa Bay went into Baltimore yesterday and took the first game of the three game series. The Rays pounded out 12 hits in the 5-1 win. Meanwhile, it’s been an awful start for the O’s as they have dropped six of their first seven games. There only win was against this Tampa Bay team in the third game of the season. Tonight’s pitching matchup has Matusz for Baltimore and Niemann for Tampa Bay. This was the same matchup in that produced the one Baltimore win. Matusz showed why he is one of the top young pitchers in baseball allowing only two hits and striking out seven Ray batters. Niemann left that game early after hitting nailed by a line drive on his pitching shoulder. The O’s were profitable last year at night versus righties posting a 21-16 record ($+625). Tampa Bay is listed as a -$125 road favorite, not a very good role for the Devil Rays as they are only 10-24 over the past two seasons as road favorites of -$125 or less. Look for the Birds to get back on track behind their young lefty. Play on Baltimore!

*200 Tampa Bay Rays -114
I am taking the Rays tonight as my top evening play. I have several trends that say the Rays will be the winner. First, I have the Orioles as a poor 0-16 SU since September 2007 as a Home Dog and they came back from a deficit to win in their starters last start. I also have the Rays as a nice 19-3 SU since 2004 as a favorite when their starter went less than 4 innings in his last start. I also have the Rays as 32-5 SU since 2005 season as a favorite when they lost by one run in their starters last start. Take the Rays for the win.
