After a very bad Saturday, 0-4, I'll look at the big picture for last week, +3.8 units.
TB +165 Garza/CC
right now game 2 TB is +198, laughable
I decided to bet against the New York Yankees and basically double up after a loss the next 3 games because the price is right today and tomorrow (if necessary). Game 1 will be for 1 unit, Game 2 will be for 3 units, Game 3 will be for 6 units. If TB does not win any of those games I won't bet agaist the Yanks Game 4, I'll pass.
Looking at the TB meltdown over the past week their coach cost them victories and their bullpen cost them victories. I think the TB starters are shaking their heads right now and will be looking to pitch a complete game. They're 7 games behind Boston for a wildcard.
Baseball's a funny game because over a 162 game season there might be one or two teams that eclipse the 60% win %. The NYY are 37 games over .500 but are a mere +10.5 units . That is an astonishing stat!
Here's what I see happening with the Yankees until the end of the season. They'll rest players, give pitchers, who normally wouldn't be in a critical situation, a chance to see how they face up to the pressure. Lets face it they will win the AL East and can coast until the end of the season. On the other hand, EVERY team will give their A-game because every team wants to beat the division leaders, especially the Yankees. A team 20 games out with no playoffs in sight will look at the series and play like it IS THEIR PLAYOFFS. Those teams won't take a night off, they'll play hard, they always do. Just look at yesterday's results.
This season TB is 5-6 straight up vs NY, not bad, and they've won 2 games when Sabbathia started. Sabbathia hasn't beaten TB this season but has lost once. Rivera has also lost 2 to TB this year. I'm betting TB can win one of 3 games vs NY.

As I re-read my post it can be confusing so I'm going to clear it up. My intention is not to bet TB for 3 games. My intention is to bet TB for 1 unit, if they lose Game 1 to bet 3 for Game 2 etc. If they win Game 1 I won't bet Game 2. If TB loses Game 1 but wins Game 2 I won't be betting Game 3. Sorry if there was any confusion.

TB +193 Sonnanstine/Burnett 3 units and 1 unit over 10
12-65 with 3 walks but batting 2nd? Carl Crawford sit your ass down. Longoria goes from 6th to 3rd. About time Maddon! Now lets get this straight Maddon.....change your steal sign because you're 0-4 L4! Lastly, Coach round up the bullpen and fly them back to Tampa or don't play them at all . When is a casino going to refuse to pay out because Maddon is throwing games?
