950th win for
Charlie. The fans in Philly love Cole
and he loves them. That's why he came
back.
Red Sox club house
wasn't very tight the last 2 years... If
they want to start this season off differently, they need to win this series
for their Manager!
Anything Zito can do,
Cain can do better. Seriously, just
think the teams took advantage of the 5th starter yesterday, back to the norm.
Great Job Gents!
I also liked the Over in Cincy but I am not sure what it means about an Ump that has more Over Games than Under?

I believe Iwakuma will get the better of Sale today, Seattle offense will be able to put up a few runs vs. Sale and a few more vs. the bullpen.
Under 7.5 NY Mets - MIA Marlins
I'm pretty much chasing the under since there were two overs in the series already, Marlins young phenom on the hill today , I think he impresses.
MIL Brewers ML +101
I don't believe the d-backs will sweep this series.Gallardo is 6-0 lifetime vs. arizona, plus he excels during the day at home.Strong performance by gallardo leads the brewers to victory.
best of luck today everyone!

Most popular over today...Big step up in competition today for both clubs. I like C.C. and Justin to bring thier A games today.
Under 6.5 MIL Brewers - ARZ D-Backs +165
This is another play on the starting pitchers. Braun is still out and the Brewers are hitting the ball very well. Counting on Gallardo to put out the flames for the Brew Crew and at least give them a chance.
STL Cardinals +116
I like Adam to bounce back in this one. A few Cardinals have had some success vs Cain. We'll see. GL everyone!

I like this pick, but I have to say, be careful. I was on the under 8 yesterday and that 5th inning by the A's killed me. Peacock left early which wasn't a good sign and then when the score was 3-1, an inning ending double play ball gets booted and another 4 runs, 3 unearned come across. Defence and bullpen highly suspect for Houston. Good luck and keep it rolling SCR!
Yep...nice lay off I don't account for defense like I should in my capping. Thanks for the thought. I put it in my notes. Good Luck today!

Stupid bets by me again. I always have problems when "aces" on the mound. I need to stop betting against the grain just because a team's #1 takes the mound. Lesson learned.

(Better the record more interest you generate in your thinking process and they want to know why's and how come's. For you too it will better if you reasoned your picks for comparing it to the ones you'd take after the game)

What are everyone's opinions on taking the run line with home teams?
For me it's all about the pitching matchups. If I feel that I have a big enough advantage with the home starter or the bullpen I will risk it. Obviously there is more value in taking a road team -1.5 for you are guaranteed 27 outs as long as the game goes nine. And you don't have to worry about going into the ninth up by one run in need of a miracle. In any event that I like a low scoring game(7 runs or less) I must have supreme confidence in the home staff.
I almost got greedy yesterday with the Whitesox. Something like +410 on the -2.5....-1.5 +270. I liked the game under the total so I laid off the RL. Even with good enough batter history vs Hernandez, I just didn't feel there was a chance of Seattle getting shutout even though historically Felixs' run support is miserable on average.
On the flip side I believe the road dog -1.5 has the best value. If I like the road dog I'm usually taking them -1.5. Or at least adding a little on the -1.5 or -2.5. The increased value will more than make up for the one run loses. Though if the game is smelling like an under I will opt to just stick with the ML unless I feel like I can get a shutout to back me up.
I use similar reasoning in regard to playing unders. If I lean torward the road team I usually stay away unless I feel like the roadies have a good enough chance to shut the homeboys out. I'd rather not worry about the bottom of the ninth when I'm holding an under ticket.

There are no stupid bets and no genius bets. Only importance is the process in a long run. One with ability to see the mistakes and mark them - will always get on top in a long run. Good job

There's not any single strategy viable for a long run as the season is long and dynamic, and we're dealing with people with ups and downs. I suggest to approach every single game with it's own trends and angles and not to generalize all the games or most of them under the same roof. There are viable points you and NP are drawing attention to - but IMO and from an experience - every strategy or eurica will be soon overthrown by new ones and so on. So - it's very important to deal with every game as it's own entity with angles and previous meeting between the teams, series, pitchers matchups and "the code" of what is obviously expected but is not translated into odds and the line.

I agree...each game is its own. I'm just looking for an advantage somewhere. I don't bet solely on any particular trend or percieved value. But I keep it in mind.

My thoughts picks and reasons for selecting is part art and part research What I can tell you is that I was a sportscaster on a regional level for 17 years and have seen trends that may only make sense to me
I don't usually explain things well but I will consider it I so better not e planning and letting the picks speak for themselves -with respect Simon Dog
