MILWAUKEE BREWERS
DAVID BUSH (120)

CHICAGO CUBS
RANDY WELLS(-140)

I actually think it's a good price for Wells at home. Especially against Bush. Bush can be a gas can and if I had to take a guess...I'd guess he'd have a poor outing today. Last season he had a 6.79 ERA on the road and a 5.51 ERA in day games. And in 1 start at Wrigley last season...he gave up 4 runs in 5.2 innings. I think the Cubs would be the right side here as well as the over.

I'm likely going to tail GH tomorrow on his dogs just cuz the favs have been cashing like mad so far. Bark time soon I'm thinking.

Funny cuz Estes a really respected capper here loses like 10 units or so, and I didn't see any haters in his thread. GH goes 2-6 for -3.5 and the whole thread was a disaster with flames.. LOL.. Makes you think...

That's covers for ya. But so far my thread has been good except for 1 minor problem. But I'm happy that we have more mature people on here than vice virsa.

You...me...and everyone else on this forum thought that too. I have to thank Curtis Granderson though for getting that insurance run in the 8th to keep the runline a winner. Nobody mentions that one.

I completely understand where you're coming from with the Twins...but Lackey is an ace on any other team. To get him at this price would be like getting Lincecum and Felx at their prices on opening day. He's also a stopper and I think the Red Sox finally play with a little bit of motivation maybe after possibly catching the Yankees' ring ceremony (or replays of it). I'm sure they caught some part of it throughout the day and it will probabl bring them some added incentive. Lackey will do what he does...it's all about will the Red Sox score on Slowey. And I think they do.

That's fine...it'll hit 10. It doesn't ahve to "fly over".

I agree. The plays don't look flashy...but all that matters is that plus sign at the end of the season. And it WILL be there.

go get em sparky!

Lopez was impressive in his first game...however...I don't really think that continues. As for Billingsley...I took him in his last start and like I said then...I really think he'll have a bonuce back season this year. And aside from Jackson and Young...nobody on the DBacks hit him well. I was leaning towards the Dodgers but the line was just too high to support. Billingsley can either shut out the DBacks or give up 2-3 runs...but I don't expect any more than that. As for Lopez...I really don't know what to expect. The Dodgers' lineup is solid, and they "could" hammer him for 5-6 runs, but I need to see a few more starts from Lopez to really figure him out and to see if he's turned the corner or not.

As much f a gas can Morten is...the TT that I have is 4.5 and asking for 5 runs, frmo the Giants, at AT&T is just way too much to ask for. I could never place that bet and be confident with it. I would feel more confident with the over 8.5 to be honest. Sorry...but that's all I got on that one.

Yea...it was tough. But at least it wasn't stuck on 3 and then they scored 1 in the 9th. That would have been worst. I rather lose by 3 than 1.

I understand people not trusting Penny...but I think, now being back in the NL, he's good to go. I think Richard will fair well...but Hanson probably will too. Not so sure about the TT though. I think under for the game would probably be the best bet imo.

Love the easy ones.

Nice day for us so far
