17-7 +18.46 Units Year to Date

6-0 yesterday.

I'm not in love with this card and have seen a dramatic loss of value on several underdogs I would have been interested in at opening price.

I was interested in backing San DIego, White Sox, Nationals, and Texas but lost too much value and they become a no play for me.

A couple other games I'm looking at for probably only a half unit:

Giants- I like this Correia kid but I'm still trying to figure out if there's enough value yet because this lineup might be one of the worst overall I've seen in a while. I might bite if I can get another 10-15 cents.

Marlins- I can't believe how many people are backing Maholm and the Pirates today.  I recognize Maholm has nice stuff and could develop into a solid thrower one day but he was putrid on the road last year allowing a .328 avg and 15 hr's.  Aside from one bad inning against the Mets, Hendrickson didn't pitch all that bad and has the ability to shut down opposing teams.  I think I might play the contrarian and put a small play on the Fish.

Phillies- I still see some value on the Phils here.  Hoping this one moves in my favor somewhat.  I'll take the lineup alone at this price even against Harang.

Orioles- Another contrarian play.  I know Loewen has been out forever but he was a nice young prospect before his injury and just a gut feeling here.

Rays- I really like this team this year and I think we'll finally see them mature into a solid all around team this year.  I'll continue to back them at such bargains.

1-2 +0.01 Unit

Lost two dogs by 1 run, I'll take being in the game with a shot to win anyday with those dogs.

Coming back with plays on Florida and Baltimore
