**Yet another lucky win last night. The under wasn't supposed to sweat that way and luck was never needed, until Ginebra stopped playing good defense, allowing Meralco to score 30+ points in 1 quarter alone! Unreal. But a couple missed freethrows by Meralco in the dying seconds, and that HUGE BLOCK by MAMARIL ON A CARDONA BREAK-AWAY LAYUP sealed the deal. Luck was on our (UNDER) side last night.
**And while I am typing this, NYY is down 4-0 in the bottom 9th. My bet was for the total over 8. I had given all hopes up, until a couple 2-run HRs by Ichiro and Ibanez made my #$%^&* day!!!
Based on MSW lines: ALASKA/BARAKO UNDER188.5 -Isn't this line a little too steep? Barako scored 90 and 89 respectively in their 1st 2 games, while Alaska had 83 and 86. It's not because they faced defensive teams, but simply because these 2 teams have no go-to-guy. Baguio is not a go-to-guy; Thoss is an overrated big man who sucked bigtime when Tim Cone left the team; JV Casio was/is never a go-to-guy. On the other side, we have Tubid who is a feelingero go-to-guy but truly isn't; Siegle is not a go-to-guy anymore. So how will these 2 teams score 188.5 points combined? Not gonna happen.
PETRON+1.5 (I will be taking PETRON ML @MSW for better odds) -I told myself I will not bet any side bets which includes Petron in the game. But, this is one game I will not let pass. Petron OWNS Purefoods/Bmeg/SanMig in the All-Filipino. Actually, scratch that. Petron OWNS Purefoods/Bmeg/SanMig, period. If there's one team who gives hell to Purefoods, it is this Petron team. Sure, both are sister companies, and we could be headed to another point shaving or pagbebenta type of a game. Even so, I am confident Petron will get this one. As far as the sister companies go, this is the chart that I follow:
GINEBRA > PETRON or SAN MIGUEL BEER SAN MIGUEL or PETRON > PUREFODS or BMEG or SANMIG COFFEE PUREFOODS or BMEG or SANMIG COFFEE > GINEBRA
They are kontrapelo to one another. Crazy, right?
I will only have these 2 as my plays tonight. I will be @ Araneta, cheering for my team (Purefoods), but I will not be disappointed should they lose.

Barako is a good team with a bad coach.If Baculi can maximize the talent he has on this team, then they would not have any problems beating the so-so teams and the horrible teams. Alaska is in a same situation right now. They are a potentially good team with an even horrible coach. Taking the team with the less horrible coach here.
Petron+1.5
Just following a gut feel.
DAMN 4 MORE LOSSES BEFORE I REACH MY TOTAL NUMBER OF LOSSES LAST SEASON. WHAT A BAD START TO THE SEASON. HAHAHA. Anyway, GOOD LUCK TO ALL! :)
