To McShady, Semper, Angle and all the other contributers:

I just wanted to give you a heartfelt thank you for this baseball season. I learned a lot from all of you and because feel so much better about handicapping/chasing baseball next year. In years past I thought I had a decent idea about what it took to make $$ in the daily grind that is the baseball season. I now realize I didn't and you guys have saved me from many more frustrating evenings. I understand its not failsafe, but thank you for putting me in the right direction with this concept.

With all that said, my friends and I do something similar when it comes to chasing NHL unders over the last two years. We have had success after a few years of tinkering and adding filters. Taking from your lead on sharing for the greater good, I will be starting a thread if and when the NHL season starts up. I'm not sure how a potentially shorten season will impact it so I am going to tread lightly. Figured I'd let you know so I can try and give back.

All the best to you and your families, their health and your various gambling ventures. Thanks again-

Steve

Quick  look at O's/Rangers & Cards/Braves on Friday....

The big Question is does Buck Stay with his rotation and roll with Steve Johnson, a  converted starter  and a 5 and fly guy, in an elimination game, or does he go with Joe Saunders the late season acquisition and soft tossing lefty.  My money is wtih Saunders but with Buck, you never know.  Either way they face the best pitcher in the AL down the stretch.  Can Darvish save the Rangers season and is -150 too high a price to pay if the answer is yes? 

Medlen has just been out of this world dominating and Lohse has been no slouch either.  At first glance this game should be a 2-1, 3-2 type pitchers duel.   At 6.5, this is going to be a solid value on the under.  If you can find any 7's and I saw one or two, grab them now.  The Braves are 12-0  in Medlen starts this year including a comeback win  to clinch a playoff spot after Medlen allowed 2 home runs to a punch a judy Marlin hitter.  The only issue with the under is that the offense has Backed Medlen with  an avg. of 5.5 runs as a starter and they may hit themselves over that 6.5.  Medlen has given up 0 or 1 er in 10 out of his 12 starts and his other two strarts 3 runs and 2 runs. I think Lohse has a proven post season track record and will be up to the task of keeping the Braves bats in check enough to cash this under.
