Good call, Box.

Their September schedule is weak, so you still have a shot. I don't think they play anybody currently over .500.

Looks like you're in great shape if a certain rumor turns out to be true.

It's your money, so the only opinion that matters is yours. If that is what you want to do, go for it. The main idea is just to remain steady. No 'I'm dropping the bomb on this or that' bullshit.

It's really a matter of personal taste. Generally speaking, most suggest sticking around 5% of your bankroll. As far as number of picks, it's again up to you. Personally, I'd rather make one or two a day at the most, but others make many more. Baseball has up to 15 games a day over 180+ days, so there's really no need to make 10 daily bets. Obviously, this changes in a sport like football where every game of the week is on a single day.
The main thing is to maintain a level of money management which doesn't put you in a position to lose all of your money in a matter of days. The 5% can vary, but no pick is ever such a sure winner that you should put your bankroll on it exclusively. Those who are successful win over the long haul, and that requires good management of your funds. Just use good judgement and avoid chasing losses and you should be okay.
Often, I see people insulting people because they are small bettors, but what's more important to you? Do you gradually build up a bankroll using a unit size you can afford, or do you overreach and bet behind your means in an attempt to impress someone on an internet forum? Hopefully, you choose the former. $20-30 seems about right for someone in your position. Good luck.
I'm by no means the foremost expert on gambling, but that's my 2 cents. Good luck.

I hope you're right, Lunch. Other contenders seem to be tailing off, and if it comes down to he and Clemens, chances are it'll go to the man on the better team.

Hmm, there seems to be some doubt as to whether or not Lee will get 3 ABs. Sounds like LaRussa is going to be cautious about Lee's shoulder, probably at the behest of Toothpick Baker. That would be a major concern for me on these props. Good luck.

It's probably not something I'll play, but I like the over. Not much capping involved, but in any All-Star game I swing toward the offensive. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how good the pitching staffs are, those lineups are just too brutal to rely on pitching or defense. Personally, I'd rather play the over 9.5 on the game, but then again the theory about Comerica being a tough park to hit homers in didn't really play out tonight, did it? Good luck.
