I love how I'm referring to the 1PM KC/Toronto game as the "morning game."

SUMMER HAS ARRIVED! LOL!

Reds -109
Pains me as I'm a huge Giants fan, but getting the better pitcher AND the better offense, and only paying -109 for it is such good value. I'm going to the game so I probably won't bet against the home team, but I have to believe this is the best bet of the day. I'd even consider -1.5 seeing how the Giants struggle to score so much. So what I'm telling you, is I think this is the best bet, and I am going to be rooting against it like all hell!


GL all


Bumgardner has pitched very well in each of his last 4 starts, but dude is getting like 2 runs a game.

I went yesterday and this Giants offense is going to put up 3,4 runs a game if they are lucky.

Crawford is legit though.  Sabean and Boch need to sit Tejada down and explain to him that he can't play anymore.  There's no reason why Crawford shouldn't be playing every day.

Couldn't agree more. Was at Monday's game as well when Crawford essentially saved the game by picking that awful Tejada throw at 2nd. Guy is awesome defensively and definitely good enough offensively to make an impact in this lineup. Bumgarner has been solid no doubt, but yeah I feel like Giants will be lucky to score 3, which puts a ton of pressure on the young lefty. Going to stay away from betting this game...well...actually....maybe a little on the under.

I took Toronto RL -1.5 (+110). Reason being I was looking at the ATS trend for away dogs and the percentage is 65.75% (430-224). Figured it'd be worth a shot from that stat alone.

This is definetly the best discussion I have seen on here.  I have been following for a couple days and decided now to chime in a little bit.

I am really feeling the Rangers today.  Holland has pitched well his last 2 starts and the Rangers bat are capable to put up 8 on any night.  Blackburn is terrible!

I also like the Braves.  JJ is getting no respect from the books like someone said earlier in the posts.  Marlins have been terrible lately so why should that no continue with the pitching matchup in favor of the Braves. JJ has a 1.64 over his last 3....That is DOMINANT.

The under looks good also, but I have more confidence in the Braves winning. 

Do you have more confidence in the under???

Jurrjens has great numbers this season with an ERA of 1.75 and 1.014 WHIP.  Volstad has lost four straight decisions. His last personal win was on April 26. Florida has lost seven straight and 9-of-10.
The Braves are 7-1 in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning record. While the Marlins are 0-7 in their last 7 home games vs.a team with a winning record and  have lost seven straight at home overall.

BOL tonight with whatever you play!!!
