Small, action play to get me through the rainy morning. Stupid Oregon weather. :(

Pittsburgh Pirates (+112)



PS- I just noticed my last 6 posted plays have been anti-Cubs and anti-Bulls. LOL! I don't hate Chicago . . . really.

Chicago area fans may get a kick out of Dirk Nowitzki's Letter To The Miami Heat. :)

I saw the Under is 10-1-1 in Maholm's last 12 starts.

Best of luck!

I rarely play Totals in any sport. Whenever I find all the "perfect" stats to back an Over/Under, the Total usually goes in the other direction.

For example, everything is pointing Under---so, it'll probably go Over with my luck on Totals. LOL!

It's better for you that I'm not on the Total. Ha, Ha!

Pirates haven't seen a 9.5 total all season.  And with good reason.  Add Maholm's under streak to that.... Under just seems too easy here.  Over or nothing for me.

Wind conditions contributing to the higher O/U?

Anyone know?

Yes.

Is there a standard value for a unit? In NBA, NFL, NCAABB, and NCAAFB, the value of my bets is larger.

Do I still call that "1 unit" on the board? It's easier with dollars, but I see units are more widely used.

LOL! That's awesome.

I think I'm going to do a running dialogue of letters for the Finals to/from Mavericks players and Heat players for my Featured Blogs until the Finals are over. Here is the LINK to the Featured Blog version of the Dirk letter to Miami's Big 3 (edited/AP format).

It should be fun. :)

There is no problem posting unit balance. But when posting with the record, the question you asked is easily answered. For example, I will submit here my record from NBA and you can do the similar. I think that you really know the deal and cap pretty well and its a shame that effect will be lost with constamt dealings with your character being a more of a sex symbol than the really well educated and profoundly informed capper with superior communicating skills.

I am posting my record as an exmple (its a well documented record here on NBA forum)

NBA Postseason ATS & Totals 19-11

NBA Postseason Parlays 3-1

+18.86 Units

I think I'm going to go with Record + Actual Money for MLB.

It's easier for me to post a record like that in the long run.

So today, $200.00 to win $224.00 on Pittsburgh Pirates ML (Action).

I'll stick around here during the game. I have nothing better to do.

I need to move somewhere sunny. FAST.

Try to make a pick everyday(just one would suffice)if you can. We all would like to join in the conversation I think.

I'm on the cubs for today just my pick(right or wrong).

I post a featured column which is posted on the Covers Front Page on Tuesday Night and runs all day Wednesday. I usually discuss the column and picks in the comment box of the article at that time.

I post 2 Featured Blogs (Monday & Thursday, typically). They are doubled into the NBA Forum. Those have been strictly NBA until the playoffs are over, then I'll move them to MLB.

So, those are three places I'll be guaranteed to post each week.

I'll try and post in the MLB forum on the off days, but as the weather gets nicer, I'll be spending more time outside! :)
