Friday Bases

[Steve O]

1-4 Thursday, -3.45 units.
309-282 for the year, +5.75 units.

Here are my plays with some abbreviated write ups:

STL (FASSERO/TRACHSEL) -130
The Mets lineup is terrible against lefties, so Fassero shouldn't have a tough time while he's in. Trachsel's home numbers are pretty bad.

UNDER 8u HOU/FLA (REDDING/BECKETT) -120
Redding, who keeps the ball high, is a good matchup against the Florida hitters. Beckett has been pitching very well lately, and I don't think he'll be giving up much.

LA (NOMO/MADDUX) +140
Nomo's given up only 1 ER in his last 20.2 IP. Should be a low scoring game, but if the Dodgers can get minimal runs, Nomo and the pen should be able to hang on.

UNDER 7.5o LA/ATL (NOMO/MADDUX) +100

CHW (COLON/GARCIA) +105
Garcia continues to look bad, and the Sox have been pretty hot. Colon has better numbers on the road.

OAK (HUDSON/MUSSINA) -115
Hudson may be the hottest pitcher in the league right now, with a 1.17 ERA since June 26. Has good head-to-head numbers against the Yanks as well.

TOR (HALLADAY/ORTIZ) -135
Ortiz has some horrible numbers against Toronto, and I expect him to get hit hard.
