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
