Default American League Pitcher Stats for Friday

AL "CHEAP FAVORITES" WITH APPARENT PITCHING EDGES
Texas -120 at Baltimore (Millwood on road, Baltimore in the tank?)
Toronto -120 vs. Seattle (anti-Meche on the road)
Minnesota -120 vs. Cleveland (Radke recent form...plus bounce back from home loss last night)

AL UNDERDOGS with a decent pitcher or shaky opponent:
Oakland +165 at Boston
Chicago White Sox +110 at NYY

TOTALS WORTH CONSIDERING BASED ON PITCHERS
Kansas City/Detroit Under 9 (wind blowing in from right at 9-14 based on Don Best forecast...plus Rogers having strong home numbers)
Seattle/Toronto Over 10...but I'm a bit hesitant because scoring wasn't all that high Thursday night against pitchers who had been struggling. Bats might take a day to get back into the swing of things.

If I were in the Airbets contest this month, my 3 would be:
San Diego
San Francisco
Texas

If I were way behind in the Airbets contest and I had to take dogs, my 3 would be:
Colorado +125
Oakland +165
Washington +115
(and I would lose all of them by 1 run...because the very definition of a "live" dog is one that looks good on paper but loses a heartbreaker!)
