Won big last night with STL ML and a nice LAD + STL parlay. Really loving some of the dogs today. I rarely ever start these threads due to my busy schedule but I feel like today is a perfect day to burn these books and take home the bacon.
WASHINGTON NATIONALS +111 1 Unit
J.D. Martin has been a bright spot in the Nats rotation for a team that has been on a little hot streak. On the other hand, Braden Looper has been nearly the opposite for a team playing like pure dog shit. What is up with the Brew Crew? Have you watched them play lately? This team is dead in the water (recently swept by the lowly Pirates) and it's only a matter of time before that entire clubhouse blows up. I like this spot for the Nats as they will have a strong home crowd (possibly their biggest of the year) as they introduce their future ace, Steven Strausburg. There should be plenty of life in that stadium today and the Brewers are playing with barely a pulse as of late. I realize that the National bats have cooled down a bit and this could be a close game but I have to go with the team who's been playing well at home vs a team who dogs it on the road. Home-field advantage looks big here.... I'm on the NATS.
SEATTLE MARINERS +114 1 Unit
Seattle lost a tough one yesterday, blowing a substantial lead after a rain delay in Detroit but I like their chances in this one against the Indians. They are still in the playoff hunt so i expect them to be fired up in an effort to avenge yesterday's collapse. The Indians on the other hand are out of contention and playing for nothing. This looks like a let down spot for them after they smoked the red-hot Angels in last night's series finale. I am fully aware of the fact that the Indians have been shelling lefties lately but this is a different situation as they have never faced Seattle's starter tonight, Luke French. Cleveland counters with a rookie of their own in David Huff but the Mariners have seen him once already this season. I view this as a pretty big advantage. Pair that with the fact that the M's are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings in Cleveland as well as the fact that in their last 9 after a loss, Seattle is 7-2. I like the price here and feel that the M's have a legitimate shot of taking this one.... I'm on SEATTLE.
KANSAS CITY ROYALS +100 2 Units
I really like this spot here for the Royals. The Twins are fading, and FAST. I understand that they are playing the Royals and facing a very mediocre pitcher in Hochevar. However, the Twinkies are starting Nick Blackburn and right now he is an automatic fade in my opinion. Some might say "well he's due to snap out of it." That's great, but until he does, I'll take even money on the home team. The KC stadium should be buzzing tonight as Fridays are when it draws its best crowds. Coming off an important series with the Texas Rangers and ending their little road trip in KC is a prime letdown position. Blackburn on the road + Possible No Morneau = ROYALS to the bank.
OAKLAND ATHLETICS +125 1 Unit
For me, this one comes down to a few of things... (1) the Tigers are just plain BAD on the road; especially facing lefties. (2) Edwin Jackson is equally BAD on the road. (3) the Tigers are coming off a recent home stand and heading out West to a tough ballpark where the A's come in fully rested after a day off. It is very common to see eastern teams fly out west and lay absolute EGGS in the series openers and I see that happening again tonight. Not to mention, Gio has pitched very well against stronger opponents. He appears to be a Gamer and I like that heading into this match-up. I'm on OAK TOWN.

If you like the Nats I'd rather go TT over with them. I've watched most of Martin's starts and he barely hits the high 80s with the fastball. Command is above average but his secondary pitches are all average too. Among the league's worst SPs right now. Crew have seen him and hit him hard already.
The kid's luck will run out sooner rather than later. Just hope it isn't tonight I guess.

I appreciate the insight, but I'm going to have to disagree with you.... The team has won his last 3 starts as he has only given up 0,1 and 3 earned runs in those respective starts. The game he pitched against Mil earlier was his first career road start so I take that one with a grain of salt. He has pitched well at home and has gotten plenty of run support. I think that run support stays high when facing a scrub like Looper.

seems like a dog that most like... no sure if that scares me or makes me feel better
Sometimes it pays to be on the other side and the public chips, other times it doesn't. I wouldn't sweat much other it. As I stated in my post this morning, the odds are against the Nats losing a fourth home game in consecutive order. The Brewers have 2 big bats, this Nats team has 10 . . . AND they can run.
Remember: Washington doesn't have to 'blown them away'. All they gotta do is win. I like their chances. BOL

Let's hope the Nats win 6-4 for both of us. I'm on the over so let's score some runs Nats.
I like the KC play. I'm on the over again there, but I agree that Blackburn is a fade at this point. Not a bad number to get with a home team. Hoch has been on and off, but as long as he pitches mediocre they should be able to hit Blackburn hard.
