High volume yesterday, but hit my higher unit plays and got through it making some money. But the big bonus was hitting a 4-way with Marlins, Padres, Angels, and the Tribe


Plays


Rangers THunter ML -115  1Unit
Indians FCarmona

Carmona is my favorite pitcher on my hometown team, so it's a bit hard for me to bet against him. But even though he's been solid since his first two starts since being brought back up from the minors, I still see potential here for him to maybe have a slightly shaking outing this time around.

He got out of trouble, whenever he had men on scoring position the last two games... but he had to do this all too often in those two starts. Now the Rangers are homerun machines, and if Carmona starts innings slowly once again, walking or throwing meat balls to the first and second hitter of each inning.... the runs will start piling up this time around

I also see Texas being good enough to bounce back on the road with Hunter on the mound, they've been playing decent enough and know they can't fool around with the playoff race looming..


Padres KCorreia ML +120 
2Units
Brewers CVillanueva

Padres are hitting all too well to lay off on them. They know they have underachieved earlier in the year with their bats, and now they are confident, and have the pitching advantage in my opinion.

They just saw Vilanueva 10 days ago, they have him fresh on their minds and should be able to hit him this time around. Don't think this fill in starter is good enough to shut down the same team twice in that time period.



Phillies PMartinez
Cubs JSamardzija ML EVEN  1Unit

I don't care who's pitching for the Cubs, but they are desperate for a win...and guess what? They get to face the John Smoltzish experiment the Phillies are trying to pull, for the first time...

I like this situation, you only get them everyone once and a while, so you have to take advantage of them. It's possible that some of these older pitchers can't comeback with their hgh, steroids..etc., being much more closely monitored now.


Athletics VMazzaro ML +120  1Unit
Orioles JBerken

Can't believe the Orioles could only barely win last game, with their best pitcher on the mound.... I just don't think they are good enough to win a home series against a team playing decent ball.



WhiteSox MBuehrle
Mariners FHernandez ML -140 
3Units


Buehrle never got media exposure and respect like this in his career, when he got his perfect game. I think it has gotten to his head just a bit.

King Felix has allowed 3 runs or more in two straight starts, only two times this season. 4 runs or more? Only once. He's yet to allow 5 runs or more twice in a row this year.

And guess what? He allowed 5 runs last game..... Expect him to bounce back.



Good luck everyone

Have a lean on the Angels, but haven't pulled the trigger. Also thinking about runlines as a possibility, if I play on any juicy teams like the Cards, Marlins, or Rockies....

adding four runlines, but I feel that all of them can hit. I'm still pondering the Angels...

adding:

Rockies RL -130 1 Unit

Marlins RL +110 1 Unit

RedSox RL -120 1 Unit

Cardinals RL -155 1 Unit

Adding Angels for a unit, this should finalize my card:

Going to stick with the RedSox RL with the pitching change, so the RL juice changes.

 RedSox RL -120 1 Unit canceled

changed to:

RedSox RL -135 1 Unit

Thank you Griffey! Had a nice day....

Too bad I have to go to work and probably work a long day and make less money today... But I'm capping for Thursday right now at this moment
anyways, and probably will go without sleep for work
