Still in the black.....barely

See what happens when I don't guarantee that at least one of my 20 picks win? I go 0-6. Thanks to a horrible week, I'm getting close to giving all the house money back. For now, I will stop playing totals as that has been a hole in my pocket book.

Season total: 72-69  (+14.98 units)
  Sides: 51-39 +26.08
  Totals: 21-30  -11.10

Philly +129 (1 unit)
  They're still the world F'n champs. Myers is a head case, but Florida struggled scoring against Pittsburgh so I'll take my chances.

Cubs +120 (2 units)
  The Cards are white hot, but the Cubs are still the team to beat in the division. Dempster has been mediocre so far but I'm sure Lou will have his team ready to win this series.

LA Dodgers +115 (2 units)
  Dodgers are the better team and they manhandled the Rockies last week. Cook has been throwin meatballs and this isn't a good lineup to throw meatballs to.

NY Mets RL -120 (2 units)
  One run for backing the best pitcher in baseball and one run for fading Scott Olsen. If the Mets score 4, this is a word that rhymes with "dock".

NY Yankees +128 (1 unit)
  Anything can happen in this heated rivalry. Throw the records out the window. That's why you take the dog. It doesn't hurt that Lester has struggled early (as has Joba). Hopefully the last win vs Oakland is a sign of the bullpen turning things around for the Yankees.

Detroit +148 (1 unit)
   I'll back Porcello until he proves to me that he's not ready for the majors. Greinke's been awesome, but odds are he won't throw a shutout every game.


Have a great weekend!

WD,

Looks like you have the right approach in taking it one day at a time. Any time I take a hit I just try to buckle down and try to string a few winning days together. Hopefully you can start that today. Good luck tonight buddy.

Philly +129 (1 unit)    +1.29   lucky win
Cubs +120 (2 units)    -2.0
LA Dodgers +115 (2 units)
NY Mets RL -120 (2 units)    -2.40
NY Yankees +128 (1 unit)    -1.0 
Detroit +148 (1 unit)    -1.0

With the Dodgers still playing, looks like I easily could of had my second winless night in a row. But thanks to a 7 run 9th I got a win. Although 9th inning HR's cost me the two New York games and an 8th in HR may cost me the Dodger game. They say breaks even out, so if the Dodgers lose, they baseball kings owe me 2 breaks.

Right now: 1-4 (-5.11) with the Dodger game pending. They just scored in the 9th so I might salvage some back.
