Cappers Buzz

Below is a game that was not quite strong enough to be an official Best Bet, but I still feel it presents value on Friday night:

Indians/Reds UNDER 11 -120 (Lee/Bailey) – 7:10 pm ET #912

My pitcher performance ratings predict a solid outing for both starters tonight.

Cleveland’s Cliff Lee is due for a bounce-back after three straight bad starts and Cincinnati should get a solid performance from highly-touted rookie Homer Bailey who is making his Major League debut.

Bailey was excellent in AAA Louisville this season with a 6-1 W/L record and a 2.31 ERA in ten starts with an excellent 1.080 WHIP (walks + hits per innings pitched).

Bailey was also strong last year with a 2.47 ERA and 1.075 WHIP with a 156-50 strikeout/walk ratio in 26 minor league starts.
