After taking off most of last month, I am 11-3 +21.4 units in the early month of August. Looking to stay hot.
Athletics total over 4 (-115)
Oakland is about as big of a lock as you can find today, but I usually don't wager anything larger than -150 (OAK is set at -170 currently on 5 Dimes). Romero is a mess, and expect this to cash before he gets pulled.
Royals (+141)
Plain and simple, this is the underdog I like the most today. Feldman tends to leave the ball over the plate at times, and the Royals bats are hot. Plus, Will Smith's recent performances are not indicative of his last couple of outings.I'm not a fan. I hate making umpires a part of my capping process, but the Rangers are 0-4 in their last 4 with McClelland behind the plate as well as the home team being 5-0 in McClelland's last 5.
Orioles (+125)
Plain and simple: Hellickson has not been great at home and the Rays struggle to hit LHP at Tropicana.
Angels/White Sox Over 10 (-120)
I wanted to take the Angels here against Floyd, but I don't trust Santana enough to hold a lead.
Diamondbacks (+121)
Halladay is nowhere near in midseason form, and it I like this matchup. Justin Upton is starting to show signs of coming out of a "slump," and the Phillies are 1-4 in Halladay's last 5 home starts, and 1-6 against teams with a winning record.
Twins (+171)
I'll continue to bet against Buchholz until it starts to hurt me. I read a quote from Buster Olsney that said something along the lines of "He needs to throw 218 consecutive scoreless innings to get his ERA back to where Boston expected it to be." I also like the over of 10.
Padres (-136)
This is just a hunch, and the least confident of my plays. I really like Volquez, and they always seem to underrate him.
