hey guys, looking at some numbers got some leans to compare to your work. tb av 5.0 for/ 2.3 agst away hou 2.8 for/ 4.6 agst home,tb vs sim comp sweep. min 5.0/3.4 home av mil 5.7/ 4.4 away av, mil scored most of pts vs poor comp, look for min to win series. chc 4.0/5.2 road av tex 5.8/ 4.4 home av, look for tex to win series.  not sold on phi at home vs bos except last gm if the weather permits.         pod hard choice ----- will go with tb ----- with Grandmasters numbers giving the tilt.

2-0 yesterday pushing week's total to 5-3......I have two more PODs today...... start with Oakland -110...... when they win take Texas -155 big

Good luck to all!

go with tampa bay ML tonight

ticks me off about tb yesterday. but min and tex won. still ticked about tb. i'll have to ride them again tonight, punks. min is my pod but to late to post it, i just did not believe mil could keep pace with a good home team (see post # 1088 on the matter). GM has the big # on tb again tonight, rightfully so, there should be no reason for failure other than tb getting a market correction (85% win rate on the road vs mostly poorer teams). if it don't happen now watch for it in the near future.

tb losing to tex next away series (out of the 2 sets) and the atl series when they play them away.

POD Yankees RL

do you think that a team like tb could be just taking their ease vs a clearly poorer team?

6-4 for the week......early game POD is Baltimore +105...... BOL
