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.
