Another great day yesterday makes it 8 out of 9 days have now been profitable. I'm going to buck my trend a little today and take a few favorites. It's not the way to win money, but they are plays I really like and don't have a lot of juice.

-4.15Todays plays:
Florida -125 (1 unit) Florida is on a roll and I prefer them as underdogs, but when you have a highly successful pitcher going against a 1-7 team, you have to expect to lay some juice. I know Nolasco struggled his first start, but he's been pretty good the past few seasons so one bad start doesn't phase me.
Yankess RL (I don't have a line yet) (1 unit) Typically I like to fade Joba and it's been great so far. However, I just have a feeling on this one. Joba is a guy who really gets the crowd into the game so they will be pumped up and as a result, he will be into the game. Cleveland is a bad team. New York is average offensively without ARod, but I sense a blowout in this one.
San Diego +145 (1 unit) Riding their hot streak. Hamels is a stud, but he has not found the groove yet. Young was one of the leagues top pitchers before Pujols gave him facial reconstruction for free. Rollins and Victorino have struggled and if they can't get on, Philly could have a tough time scoring.
Milwaukee +115 (2 units) Fade on Livan. He pitches batting practice and I expect the Brewers to put up a lot of runs. The Mets have the offense to hit with them, but I'll go against Livan every time. The Brewers won 2 of 3 in NY last April so they shouldn't be lacking confidence.
Mil/NYM over 9.5 -110 (2 units) see above
Angels even (2 units) Angels have struggled this year, but they are still a superior team to Minnesota. Neither pitcher is great so it comes down to which offense out hits the other. I'll take the Angels.
LAA/Min over 9 -110 (1 unit) see above
Cin/Hou over 8 -105 (2 units) Oswalt owns the Reds, but that was the reds of old. The new Reds have hit him well. Last year these 2 pitchers matched up twice in Houston and Houston won 5-4 and 8-6. In both games, there were at least 7 runs scored in the first 4 innings. So if you can bet halves, definitely take the first 5 over as well.
Have a good weekend!
