Question

nice opportunity to get the orioles as a dog. the nationals are not the kind of hitters that the blue jays are. orioles have been rolling as of late, hitting their TT over in last 5 games. combine this with nationals being 1-4 vs rookie pitchers, 1-7 without bryce harper in the lineup (who will miss tonights game), i like the orioles tonight. also helps that nathan karns is getting the start for the nationals, and from his numbers in last 2 starts in AA (given up 15 hits, 8 runs in 12 innings) there is a good chance he gets smacked around by the O&#x27;s who have been hitting just over .307 in the past week.

in nba, my play is indiana ML. it may be square thinking but they have to win 1 at home after utterly dominating Miami in Miami on defense and rebounding. I feel even more confident knowing that 70%&#x2B; is on miami ML and ATS and Lord Joe Crawford will be calling the game.

Haven&#x27;t really checked out the late games but I think you may be on to something here.  Unfortunately, thread got started too late to post my ATL/Tor o4.5 F5 which has already hit in the 1st inning Heading out now but will be back later this afternoon

haha coach I tailed Dr. Fever on ATL TT O 4 and threw ATL &#x2B;.5 in a parlay...atleast TT is looking alright so far.Also, pig mentioned the astros last night. astros are hitting .270&#x2B; vs lefties and .280&#x2B; in daytime facing De La Rosa who sports a 3-0 record in 3 games with a .49 ERA in the daytime. Houston TT is 3.5. do you guys think we see correction to the mean in De La Rosa&#x27;s era or is he a road warrior?

Baby_BA · Answer

Like these pitchers enough to keep the total Under 5. Not seeing much hitting from either side, so this is worth a shot.

The Os have been hitting great and this no-name pitcher shouldn't be able to slow them down.

Sox Dumpster loves to give up the runs; Phils hitting should be able to take advantage.

. Cards Lyons has looked really good for what little he's pitched. Royals Santana not bad either. Key is hitting; Cards can consistently score while Royals have been in an awful slump.

Same as above, and I'm getting a first place team against a last place team for Even money. And StL is one of the best on the road. Its a good deal.

I think it&#x27;s looking better than just alright   Looking at a healthy wind blowing out, I&#x27;m going with...Col/Hou o9 FG  Favorable hitting conditions regardless of who&#x27;s on the mound.  I&#x27;m not over-analyzing this one.

Trying again....Hey guys, only made a little yesterday as the later games did me in. For today, I&#x27;m heavy on Atl/Tor Over but its too late to post it. For the rest....1st 5 Under 5 -120 Colo/Hou SMALL. Like these pitchers enough to keep the total Under 5. Not seeing much hitting from either side, so this is worth a shot.Balt TT Over 4 -125 BIG. The Os have been hitting great and this no-name pitcher shouldn&#x27;t be able to slow them down.Phil TT Over 4 Even SMALL. Sox Dumpster loves to give up the runs; Phils hitting should be able to take advantage.1st 5 StL -105 MEDIUM. Cards Lyons has looked really good for what little he&#x27;s pitched. Royals Santana not bad either. Key is hitting; Cards can consistently score while Royals have been in an awful slump. StL Even MEDIUM.

Coach19 · Answer

I like this one, Baby.  As I&#x27;ve said before, the jump from AA to the bigs is huge (see Burch Smith).  Don&#x27;t know too much about Nate Karns, but an ERA of 4.60 over 40&#x2B; innings at AA isn&#x27;t exactly impressive.  I&#x27;m in

I totally agree Metta .. Pacers winning by 7&#x2B; points !!

Baby_BA · Answer

Agree completely, Coach.  Tells me a hitting team like Balt should get at least 6 or 7 runs.

Today&#39;s plays Action reverse 5 units to win 8Baltimore F5 over 4.5 -115 for all the reasons mentions aboveMiami F5 over 3.5 -125 Combined era for these two pitchers in the last 3 starts is 14&#x2B;. Tampa bay has been hitting very well. Miami should be able to get 1 or 2 to add to the cause. Good luck to everyone!

Coach19 · Answer

Adding....Oak o4.5 F5Oak TT o4Another fade of a rookie SP (Mike Kickham) making his major league debut for the Giants.  See, pitchers are creatures of habit and routine.  Looking at Kickham&#x27;s AAA-Fresno stats (3-4, 4.33 ERA), one thing kinda jumps out at me....him going 3-1 with a 1.72 ERA over his last 5 starts.  What that tells me is that he&#x27;s settling in to his minor league routine.  Now, he&#x27;s being taken out of his element and being thrust into the major league spotlight....not an easy transition by any means.  So far this season, rookie SPs have not fared very well and for good reason....especially those that are being called up to fill a void adding more pressure to the equation.  Yes, Oakland&#x27;s lack of familiarity is an issue but unless Kickham brings some real major league stuff, I believe the more numerous issues with rookie SPs is paramount.

ok, im back....in boston ryan dumpster is on the mound for the bosox, opposed by cliff lee, who has been nearly unhittable his last 3 starts. the same cant be said for the dumpster, whose ERA is over 10 during his last three.....looking at ryans numbers, he has a very respectable BAA of 213, but he has been plagued by control problems, 29 walks in 55 2/3 innings and given up 9 taters. im not over thinking this..just give me cliff lee at + 105 for the first 5. ....let me go sniff out some more...

pigskinpicker · Answer

my man kevin gausman, the former bayou bengal was roughed up by the jays in toronto in his MLB debut, though early on, he looked pretty solid, then it kinda collapsed on him...so, i think he will give up a few runs, and i really think karns will get hit all over the place by the oriole bats....so, over 4 1/2 first 5 looks like a solid play...i had over full game in this memorial day match up and it fell just short... but, undaunted, i will go back right there, and go over 8 1/2 full game too...neither of these bullpens are very good, they suck actually, and the game yesterday should have gone over. enough runners were left on base to populate a small village on the bayou..i dont think that happens twice in a row....OVER F 5 and FG...
