That's More Like It: Projections On A Friday

Off to a decent start, winning 71|PERCENT| of my games.

Tampa Bay Rays 100
Rays 7, Indians 4
James Shields continued to look like his old self, earning his 4th win of the season.  He tossed 7 innings, allowing 2 ER on 7 hits and 1 BB, while striking out 7.  Justin Masterson finally looked like his old self, allowing 5 ER on 8 hits and 4 BB in 5.2 innings of work, although he did have 6 Ks.  The Rays jumped out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back, with everyone in the lineup except Kelly Shoppach having a hit.

SEASON: 5-2, +180

I plan on taking the weekend off and just enjoy watching the games, but I'll try to keep it rolling today with this one:

St. Louis Cardinals +120
St. Louis (22-16, 12-7 A); Kyle Lohse (4-2, 2.24, 0.86)
Cincinnati (20-17, 10-9 H); Bronson Arroyo (3-3, 3.68, 1.30)
  
Recent Trends:  The Cardinals are 6-2 in their last 8 road games and 8-2 in their last 10 meetings.  The Reds are 1-8 in their last 9 Friday games.  The Cardinals have won 2 of the last 3 when facing Arroyo.
