So far I have been on fire for my early picks and have tapered off in the evenings, but still doing well.
If I'm able to start of well again today I probably won't play any late games.
The early round:
Mariners +123
Mariners/Rays under 10 -135
The wheels have officially come off for the Rays after a promising start. I can't ignore the fact that Seattle has had Tampa's number so far and I look for that to continue today. Batista is not as bad as his numbers appear and Jackson is not as good as his early numbers appear. Batista should tighten up and keep the Rays around 2-3 runs scored today. Enough for the under and a Mariners win.
Reds -105
Reds/Brewers over 8.5 even
I like the Reds today for the same reason I liked them yesterday. They are just a better team. Nothing against the Brewers, but they have beaten up on the slow kids so far. Now they are facing a potentially dangerous lineup in the Reds. Harang is consistently one of the better pitchers in the NL and the Reds are starting to get warm. Also, I just don't think Villanueva is that good. I look for the Reds to put up another solid offensive showing today.
Braves -107
Braves/Rockies under 9 -115
I know, I know. I fully intended to lay off of the Braves for a while, but I can't ignore this situation. Tim Hudson takes the mound and he is the stopper for ATL. So far in this series the Rockies have benefited from shitty Atlanta pitching from fill-ins and bullpen meltdowns. Hudson will take this game as far as he can to keep it out of the bullpen. The Rockies have NEVER taken four straight games from the Braves. And the fact is, the Braves are seriously underperforming right now. Normally I would continue to fade the team until they showed me a reason to do otherwise. But I really feel like the Braves should win this game. Also, super cold weather and snow should theoretically keep the scoring low. I imagine it must hurt like a son-of-a-bitch to hit a baseball when your hands are frozen.
Parlay Braves & Reds
I really like both of these to win, so I'll roll a little parlay on it.
By the way, the Orioles/Rangers is not on Sportsbook right now, but unless there is no value I like Texas. Millwood has owned the Orioles in recent years and I am thinking that the rainout might have cooled off the red-hot Orioles. Small bet if I play it.
Good luck to those of you on these same picks.
