Bet Friday CPBL: Ariel Miranda, Henry Sosa and Ryan Carpenter all slated to pitch as Rakuten plays Fubon and Chinatrust plays Uni

(All lines from Parx Online Casino)

When it rains down runs in the CPBL, it's like a monsoon. CTBC was up 10-1 in the 6th inning en route to an 11-5 victory, so obviously Fubon didn't cover and I fell to 25-23, which could soon be a score in Taiwan. The Chinatrust Brothers also jumped back into second place, a mere 7 games out in the loss column.

CPBL Standings

Rakuten 15-5

CTBC 10-12

Fubon 9-12

Uni 9-14

Friday morning at 6:35 am EDT, Rakuten is at Fubon and Chinatrust is Uni.

Moneyline: Rakuten -315, Fubon +230

Run line: Rakuten -3.5 -108, Fubon +3.5 -121

Total runs: Over 11.5 -124, Under 11.5 -106

Pick: Fubon ace Henry Sosa is scheduled to start this morning and the Guardians are still +230 and getting 3.5 runs from Rakuten. Yeesh. That's because Rakuten is pitching Ryan Carpenter and his 2.42 ERA. In this league that's like a Koufax number. So will last year's Sosa show up tonight for a pitcher's duel or will this year's model with an ERA over 6? At 11.5, I'm going to take the Over at -124.

Moneyline: Chinatrust -245, Uni +175

Run line: Chinatrust -2.5 -118, Uni +1.5 -112

Total runs: Over 12.5 -129, Under 12.5 +100

Pick: The league's best pitcher, Ariel Miranda goes tonight for Chinatrust and I'm going to hope he pitches like that and take Under 12.5 at +100.
