1130 MyPa- They are the favorites here because of the draw option. Confidence:1

315 Fram Revklavik- From what I heard they are playing a team that is 2 division lower than them. Confidence:2

700 El Salvador- Confidence:1

705 Pittsburgh Pirates- Both starting pitchers are having great years. Neither has really seen any of the hitters on either team. Pirates have done well this year against the AL and at home. Confidence:2

705 Texas Rangers- I would lean towards them in this game just because of how Holland has done on the road this year. He is 4-1 with a 2.95 ERA. Confidence:2

705 New York Yankees- Yankees have been playing really well recently. Royals are not a good road team. I think the Yankees win this game but I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Phelps who has lost 4 straight starts at Yankee stadium. Confidence:3

705 Philadelphia Phillies- Hard to really trust either pitcher. Lannan has been inconsistent, going 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in four starts since missing two months with a strained quad. Haren on the other hand has gone 0-6 with a 7.01 ERA while giving up 11 home runs in his last 8 starts. Philadelphia's ball park is known for having a lot of HRs. With all of that being said I would trust the team that has more power and has the better lineup. Confidence:2

706 2 or 3- Confidence:1

710 Minnesota Twins- Both of these teams are scrappy. Both teams have average starting pitchers going. Deduno hasn't pitched well on the road this year. Hernandez has not looked all that impressive this year. Hernandez used to be a pitcher for the Indians which means some of the Twins have seem him before. Even though the Twins are 2-8 in their last 10. I think Mauer and Morneau find a way to generate enough offense to win this game. Confidence:1

735 No Bases Loaded- Confidence:2

810 Chicago Cubs- 2 rivals going head to head. Toss up of a game I like Garza a little more than Santiago. Confidence:1

810 Milwaukee Brewers- I think this is definitely a game to stay away from. I know a lot of people will think to pick Bailey coming off of a no hitter. But I cant. I think historically you see guys have a bad game after throwing a no no. Lohse has been consistently good all year. Bailey has been really inconsistent on the road. Confidence:1

930 Honduras- Just think they are a much better team than Haiti. Confidence:3

930 Any Other Result- Confidence:1

940 Arizona Diamondbacks- Another tough game to predict. Grienke has been really inconsistent this year. I have said before that he doesn't look like himself. On the other hand you have Delgado who I think will be a stud in the next couple of years. Greinke has not pitched well against Arizona in his career. But the Dodgers lineup is red hot. Confidence:1

1010 Colorado Rockies- Despite his season numbers Volquez has been pitching well recently. Volquez has really struggled against the Rockies this year though. Chatwood had a bad outing last time and I would expect him to bounce back with a solid game. Confidence:2

1010 Seattle Mariners- Some Boston hitters have success against Hernandez. But hes a stud that always pitches well at home. Lester has struggled in his last couple of starts before pitching well against San Diego. Confidence:1

1015 San Francisco Giants- Harvey is a stud but has some of his worst games on the road. Lincecum has not been that good this year. But is starting to pitch a little bit recently. Giants have been a much better team at home. Confidence:2
