Today I'm going back to the well again with the Reds. This is just a hunch based on series history between the Reds and Astros. Am I concerned that Wandy Rodriguez has beaten the Reds the last four times he's faced them at home? You bet! But, I believe Edinson Volquez is the difference this time around. He is capable of stifling the already struggling Astros offense. The Reds have been getting it done at the plate lately and I think they'll score at least one more run than the 'Stros this afternoon. I'm not expecting a blowout, but there is great value with Cincinnati, in my opinion.  BOLA! CINCINNATI REDS -111

I like this pick Bama I think it's definitely gonna be a winner! If anybody wants another good pick take Det-Min over today. That was my 2nd choice but I went with the easy pick in Seattle.

25 Dime Club is starting to heat up! Quad is leading the way with that 15 game hit streak going on BTS! We have a bunch of members who have streaks around 5 on this game. Let's keep riding boys!

I got the same problem, I tried to pick them and my other pick was still locked, then I did not check again for over an hour and despite Seattle still appearing on the board, when I opened the pick page it said -132 next to them so I took Tampa Bay -119 instead.

I hear you guys, I could not take the Houston over yesterday ( who covered) had to resort to option 2.  Today same situation,  HOUSTON-REDS over, gives the option but does not allow me to pick it.  Have to settle with ST. Lou straight up to win..

Sick of getting thrown off the horse by moose'd jobs but like they say "It's not that you fall 7 times, its getting up that 8th that counts" Well im getting on there once more with the FLA Marlins +105. Nolassco has been on fire and straight up owns the Phils (5-1 with a 2.92 ERA) but Lee NOT too shabby himself 1-0 vs Marlins. Despite what Lee does he DOESNT get run support wouldn't surprise me if it continues. BOLA tonite

CINCINNATI REDS -111= lost 3-4 to a bottom of the ninth RBI double! Oh well, I knew it would be a close one. To add insult to injury, the price of Seattle (-128) just fell back onto the board.  BOLA!

I just thought I'd post a helpful link for picking in the Baseball Streak contests: MLB hitting streaks 2011 Today I went with Jacoby Ellsbury on Fox for W4 and Andre Ethier on MLB for W7. Good luck fellow 25 Dime Club Members and all.

That maybe for the best, since the Reds @ Astros went under by 1/2 a run. Good luck on St. Louis.

  I'll cheer you up, I took the Brewers on streak for the cash and they were crushed 13-6 by the Padres.  The Padres got 23 hits including 9 hits and 8 runs in the 8th inning. I think we have something in common with straight up sports futility and totals join that list too! I've got the Rays -119 picked for tonight on survivor and they happen to be a SFTC option too, but since I'm so greedy on that game I'll probably take the Albert Pujols prop and then a 3 inning total prop for the Cardinals / Cubs game. Good luck on SFTC tonight bama.

Thanks, I usually pick the same player on both games but tonight I'm taking Derek Jeter on Beat the Streak and Mark Teixeira on Hot Streak I'm going for 16 on both games. Good luck everyone!

Here's another link that displays only the current hitting streaks. Current streaks are more relevant to our contest picks. LoL. Good luck, Quad! I think those Yankees will come through for you.

Well my other best pick of the day came through with Det-Minn going over the total. I certainly hope I don't get burned. That Detroit over was my 1st choice until I saw that King Felix was pitching. I hope Seattle brought their bats and give Felix some support. Historically they don't do it.

  Just kidding. I never laugh at other people's losses. Dude, that's ROUGH! Sorry to hear that. Man were you ever victimized! I took soccer and lost my three game streak with Valencia due to a late goal. I took St. Louis tonight on SFTC. Cleveland scares me more than a little: the Tribe is on a roll right now and may scalp Price. GL.

Good Quad on your BTS picks tonight. Jeter and Texiera should come through as Yankees always come through in the clutch. I also have Teixeira in BTS. Jeter has been hot lately because of all the talk about how he can't hit anymore. He is really motivated to shut the talking heads up.

Here's to getting up after every fall! Good luck with Florida. They have a great chance tonight and should take advantage.

I was going to take the Mariners if I had gotten them at -130, they went up to -132 and not knowing if they would come back down to -130 I took the Rays at -119 and since then they have soared all they way to -141! The Rays are either a great  pick or a !
Good luck to you smooth with the Mariners!

I'm sorry about soccer pulling it's stunts on your streak, Good luck on the Cardinals! I decided to go with Paul Pierce Points + Rebounds over LeBron James Points.
