Seattle won last night and is now 7-4 in the last 11 vs. the Tigers. Felix Hernandez won a recent Cy Young for the M's and has pitched well. I think we see a 3-2 type of win by Seattle on Wednesday.

Take Cleveland to win. They are at home after a solid road trip and played well in KC to start off the trip. KC was 0-6 at home but 3-3 on the road. Both teams were off on Monday and the Indians did lose their last game at Oaklnd and should be focused to play a weak Royal team.

I don't like the fact that the M' are -145 to -150. Felix Hernandez is a former Cy Young winner and has pitched well this year. Clevlenad had won 4 in a row on the road and lost last night. Indian SS Asrudel left the team for awhile due to a death in his home country.
Josh Tomlin has average stuff and should give up 5 runs.

Take the Mets with RA Dickey as he has given up just 2, 1, 1, 2, 0, 3, 0 and 2 runs in his last 8 starts dating back to last year. Cliff Lee starts for the Phils and he did lose vs. the Pirates but did pitch well. This game will be played at Philly and should be close and worth a shot to go with the big road dog with a solid starter.

I like the Giants winning this game on Thursday. Barry Zito beat the Rockies 7-0 on Tuesday. The Giants are able to hit for power and manufacture runs as a team with hit and runs and stealing bases.
Coloradi is at home in their ballpark but have struggled so far. I think we see SF Giants win by one run on Thursday.

Take Dotroit as they have been playing well at home. Tampa Bay is a good team with Evan Longoria and Upton but they are a better team at home and with David Price on the hill.
The Tigers have Miguel Cabrera, Austin Freeman and Prince Fielder and play well in their own ball park as they swept Boston over the weekend.

Take the NY Yankees to win after losing 3-0 to Tampa Bay on Sunday's getaway day. It is as if the Yankees wanted to lose so they could go back to the clubhouse and watch the end of the Master's golf from Augusta. Jeremy Hellickson beat them easily and allowed just a few hits and no runs.
The Orioles are below average and start Matusz on the hill. I expect to see Jeter, Texiera, ARod and Canu to put up 6 runs. Can the Orioles keep it close? I doubt it.

Take Cleveland with Lowe. He has never been on the DL and has steady numbers agisnt the Blue Jays. He makes his first start with Cleveland and the Indians are 0-2 and have led early and ended up losing in extra innings.
Toronto goes with their 3rd starter who doen't have much experience. Look for Asrubel to play well and Haffner for Cleveland.

I like Atlanta. It should be a close game with Jurrgens on the hill for the Braves and NY going with RA Dikcey, but the Mets hurler throws a knuckleball and the cold weather (55 degrees or so) could effect his movement.
Dickey did struggle early last year at home after a start in Miami.
Look for Atlanta to bounce back after a 1-0 loss on Thursday.

Look for the Dodgers to win a low scoring game. Starter Clayton Kershaw won the Cy Young last season with a surprising year. The Dodgers were sold in the offseason and will want to get off to a great start.
The Padres don't have much offense and their park is geared for pitchers. My guess is we see a game in the 3-1 range with LA winning.
