May Flowers

Every month gets better now, May should be an improvement over April too.

YTD going into May: 30-22, +19.58

Good luck all - May 1st picks to follow.

For Sunday, May 1st:

Atl 1.917 for $5 (StL now has a game to play with)

Bos 2.080 for $5 (not going to let them cross country and sweep)

Det 2.280 for $5 (because Cleveland should lose always)

Min 2.020 for $5 (lousy April, May will be better to Min)

ChW 1.855 for $5 (ChW should stop the bleeding here)

and I may add a game or two I'm looking at still.

One more for today:

LAA 1.763 for $8 (Weaver is awesome vs Cobb new arrival from the minors).

That's it for today. Leaning far out the window against some good pitchers, but we'll see what happens - looking for a + number when the dust settles.

Good luck all.

2-3 yesterday (LAA canceled because of Weaver dropping out), so after Sunday YTD: 32-25, + 14.57.

Back in a couple with today's picks.

Monday 2 May picks:

Cinci (Leake/Happ) 1.581 for $2 (Leake steals this one)

LAD (Russell/Kershaw) 1.493 for $2 (Dodgers back to even par)

LAA-Bos (Weaver/Buchholz) Un8 2.000 for $2 (if JW doesn't cough up any green monsters)

Det (Verlander) 1.820 for $5 (Tigers desparate/Yanks have couple games cushion)

CHW 1.909 for $5 (Sox stop skid)

Good luck all, Zeb

2-2 yesterday with the Reds game being postponed.

Well I'm sure having a rocky May - but that happens I guess - at least the Reds won. The best months are coming - the summer months, when you can definintely see patterns.  Yesterday only 2-3 - new YTD: 43-36, +13.20.

and if Pinnacle ever gets the Atl-Phi game on the board I will most likely bet the Phillies.

Best of luck, Zeb

And one more for the 6-pack, Saturday, 7 May:

Phil 1.870 for $5

Best of luck, Zeb

Well Aaturday was a nice 4-1-1 as some breaks went our way - typical spring of radical swings.

Monday picks coming up.

Only 2 for Monday, 9 May:

Bos (Beckett) 1.467 for $5

Good luck to you, Zeb

Good start to the week with a 2-0 Monday.

New YTD: 51-39, +30.44

Tuesday picks coming up.

Well I have a 6-pack for Tuesday, and I think they look pretty good for at least 2/3 right - but it's still May, so tread lightly, Tuesday May 10th picks:

LAD 2.070 for $3

Hou 2.130 for $3

Cle (Tomlin) 1.752 for $4

Bal 1.917 for $4

Min 1.885 for $3

LAA 1.787 for $3

I try to pick these games based on the psychological position the teams find themselves, and factoring in some other things. For example, I like Arizona's spot too, but they find themselves going up against Lincecum so their psycholgical frame of mind is very similar to that of Albania's when they faced the Dream Team in the Olympics - so I dropped that game off. Well, I suppose 6 is enough in any case.

Best of luck to all, Zeb
