Cleveland bet is probably going to take 1/3rd of my parlay winnings.

Agree with the board. I definitely plan on continuing to fade Peavy. I also agree with over in Baltimore both 1st 5 and game. Sanchez has not had ONE quality start all year and 10+ starts going back to last year and the 'bad' Wright is on the other side. I like the Mets small. Varrett hasn't given up a run in his other two spot starts and he does have a quality start at Coors Field which I always like to see.

Regarding the Nats, I like Roark, but NP, Harper is sitting out tonight's game.

Sharks knock off Kings and Nashville, not great teams coming into the playoffs from a momentum or year end push perspective. Blues knock off Conference powerhouse Dallas (top offensive goals per game squad) which says a lot.

Sharks coming from out West after a 7 game series all the way to St. Louis and we have on paper and really by all critics the better team and a home game to boot and we have -125. Sign me up.

$$$$ Blues ML -125 $$$$

Also, Blues PL -1.5 +225

Bol tonight guys.

Some food for thought: The underdog visitor won all 3 games this year and both teams were better on the road than at home. I'm not playing it, but if I were, I would parlay the Sharks on the PL with something else.

mr jack ryan the 2 teamer parlay slayer. What did I say?

thanks for the tail bro.

newmi loss which means I need to bet a little bit heavier tonight to make dollars out of 50 cents.

I am taking a shot at them philly. Nola for philly already pitched against cinn earlier in the season and he has allowed just 1 run in 7 innings. Philly on a 2 games winning streak. Cinn is on a 2 games losing streak. Nola was a 1st round pick out of lsu. Come on nola. Kc will take care of business but lets go nola

4-0 in Nola’s last 4 starts

phi -1 + kc -1 parlay

I respect your points but there are too many variables during the year that can skew those results. Conference Final in any sport a home team is desirable IMO. Guys are banged up especially in hockey just my thoughts that a home team with better overall ratings at -125 is desirable. Bol in whatever your plays may be.

Corey Anderson -140

Step up in competition for Anderson here. Not a $$$ play because you have an American fighting in Brazil and the judges don't like to give points let alone rounds to non Brazilians. No holes in Anderson's game.....great wrestler and much improved striking......fighter on the rise and it won't be easy but much value here......GL

Mets have owned the series in recent years, losing last night for the first time in the last 12 meetings against the Rockies. Mets' starter Verrett has been excellent every time they've given him a chance to start, and he is a rare commodity in that he has had success pitching in Colorado (albeit limited). His only start at Colorado was last year, where he went 8 innings and gave up 1 run on 4 hits.

On the other side, Butler for the Rockies is off to a good start on the season for a Rockies pitcher (3.86 ERA), but both starts were away from home. At Coors, he's got an ERA of 6.80 in 41 career innings, and he was pummeled in his only previous start against the Mets, giving up 6 runs in 4 innings in New York last year.

I think the Mets come out motivated, and I like Verrett. He seems to be doing what Kris Medlen did years ago for my Braves. They give him a spot start here and there filling in for someone that's injured or needs a little rest, and he uses the opportunity to build more and more trust with his teammates and coaches until they have no choice but to give him a spot in the rotation. Hopefully he proves his worth once again tonight. Best of luck to all.

Final line on Verrett tonight... 2.2 innings, 10 hits, 3 walks, 7 earned runs. Sorry everyone, I will put myself back in time out.

Last night Verlander goes 8, gives up one run and loses.Tonight's matchup between the Tigers and the O's is very much like the one they played Thursday. Lots of runs, but an Orioles BP that is so much better than the Tigers. Neither pitcher will probably make it through the 6th, if they even get there. But I have faith in the Tigers BP to make the O's a winner tonight. I'm also taking Baltimore on the RL (but that's just a pick). I pray you all had some success this afternoon and that it carries over to tonight.

Can I get a "Schoop, Schoop"

Cashed a good bit with the Rays under and Matsuyama today. I will be on Hideki again tomorrow as he seems like he is dissecting this course.

Tomorrow's thread is live.
