Cleveland -2.5
Arizona -2.5
Milwaukee -2.5

I hate interleague. All the form goes out the window. Thankfully it is finished and now back to their own leagues

[danj2202]

well the two I have done tonight are as follows

phillies rangers over 11 - both teams hit very well, Phillies, in particular Howard and Utley have sprung back to life lately and Moyer has pitched poorly recently, could easy go 15+

with White Sox -1.5 - have to believe my Sox are going to return the favour and get the brooms out at US Cellular tonight after last weekends capitulation at Wrigley and Buerhle has been in great form his last 4-5 starts

oubled them up

best of luck to anyone else who plays the late games tonight
