Cleveland Indians vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Series start: Friday August 18 2006. 7:15 e.t.
Tropicana Field. St. Petersburg, Fla.

Through the years this series has provided some skewed offensive numbers so
keep an eye on trends leading up to your baseball bets on this series. The
Indians, probably the biggest disappointments in baseball this year, are
meeting Tampa Bay for the first time this season; they’ll meet again in
Cleveland to close out the campaign, which can’t come soon enough for either
team. Sportsbook odds will favor Cleveland unless Scott Kazmir pitches.

Actually, the funniest thing is that it's for the 18th, yet the Devil Rays breakdown is only updated through the 7th, and it says Casey Blake "might" go on the DL.

Talk about being just a wee bit behind.......and we all thought Yahoo was bad. :-b
