The wind is blowing out in Colorado. The home team usually puts up some runs aginst good pitchers like Roy Halladay and tonight they face Jonny Cueto of the Reds. He has been solid but rarely pitches in Denver. The Rockies get hits from Helton, Mike Cuddyer and Troy Tulowitzi, who has been injured quite often this year.
The Reds should bget a few runs off the Colorado starter Friedrich.

Detroit at Celveland 7pm Thursday 8* under 7.5
Take under 7.5 with Detroit at Cleveland. Justin Verlander faces Jason McAllister in this 7pm start. Verlander was involved in a 2-1 game with the Indians in his latest start against them. He has 5 overs and 15 unders this year with an impressive ERA of 1.08 in his last 3 starts.
McAllister has a nice ERA of 1.86 in his last 3 starts and pitched well lately. The Indians don't have much power and have no starters hitting above .295 but they do get plenty of walks and have a high on base percentage but Verlander keeps his walks down.
My guess is we see a 4-2 type of score and an under.

Texas lost last night 12-1 on the orad and should bounce back after the bad loss. Oakland starts a pitcher who does not have much experience except as a reliever. Texas should get offense from Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Cruz, etc. and put up 5. The A's sjhould get 3 off of Holland.
My guess is 5-3 and over.
