R u kidding me... O's new guy pitches great first 4 2/3 and gives up a 2 run dinger to spoil my first 5 and my 4 team parlay? Yikes. That was a tough one to watch. but I'll take a 5 and 1 day yesterday anyday.
I am leaning a lot of overs today, probably the only one I am not over on is a posted play...
San Diego Padres/Arizona Diamondbacks Under 9½ -135*
Lots of conflicts for me tonight, games I like, but might be no plays for a couple of stats.
maybe some later. more research required. have to wait for umps to be posted.
Best of fortunes.

Wow, today's card was not easy for me anyways.But days like these usually work out best for me, because I have to really dig, research, back away, big picture, trends, day v night (lots of day games today), umps, etc. etc.
My top picks after first round of research remain...
Chicago Cubs -136* vs New York Mets Detroit Tigers -124* vs Texas Rangers Washington Nationals -136* vs San Diego Padres
Hopefully the favs will play out that way.
then...
Minnesota Twins +122* vs Boston Red Sox Tampa Bay Rays -104* vs Baltimore Orioles (careful overs lovers)Chicago White Sox +128* vs Los Angeles Angels
Best of fortunes everyone....

Happy mother's day everyone. If she's alive, tell her you love and thanks for everything she did for you. If she's not, say a prayer and thank her.
Philadelphia Phillies +110* vs Arizona Diamondbacks San Diego Padres/Tampa Bay Rays 1st 5 Innings Under 4½ -105* be careful of taking the over today. Amazing stat... of ALL mlb teams Rays and Pads have the greatest day night difference in batting averages. Meaning best at night, worst day games. Oakland Athletics -128* vs Seattle Mariners
also doing a 4 team parlay, mets/cards/phils/oakland
and been doing well with the 2 1/2+ parlays..
Cleveland Indians +2½ -290* vs Detroit TigersPhiladelphia Phillies +2½ -320* vs Arizona Diamondbacks San Francisco Giants +2½ -270* vs Atlanta Braves

Today's card had only one investment that jumped out at me, never do this, but had to make this 5 unit play.
Toronto Blue Jays/Tampa Bay Rays Over 7 -125*
Price has lost his velocity, and cannot get it back, rumor is he has shoulder issues. Bautista's bat is hot, and he has great numbers v price. Rays have good numbers v dickey, and dickey had his issues too. add the recent rays bullpen blowups, and... This could be high scoring affair, like the rays to pull it out, and have a small on the 8 1/2 over.
also...
Arizona Diamondbacks -118* vs Philadelphia Phillies
had Cleve and yanks (delayed)
also...
Tampa Bay Rays Over 4 +105* vs Toronto Blue Jays
parlay
Kansas City Royals/Baltimore Orioles Under 9½ -157*
Tampa Bay Rays -150* vs Toronto Blue Jays
Los Angeles Angels -151* vs Houston Astros
you can say all you want about houston, etc. but vargas' numbers v houston are very good and harrell doesn't impress me at all. I think the angels get one here

not sure how to post updated totals with parlays. broke even last night, so wont count them. ytd 33-26.
What happened to the Rays last night may have been a pivot point in their entire season - negative, and one for the Jays - positive. Fernando is up in the zone and straight, and nothing near his precision of last year. Wow, Rays had that game, but FYI their pens is in real trouble.
So at first glance this card today looked like nothing obvious, in fact maybe no plays. However, really dug into it today, and found some interesting stats. i.e. Kuroda throws 7% fast balls (very low), and everything else is junk. I know NY lovers are backing him, but de la rosa does well at home, in the mile high air, for one of many reasons, he throws 47% fastballs. In that light air, balls go farther, fast balls go faster, and curve balls just don't curve as much. Being a former pitcher, it takes some getting used to...it is tough enough to get your release point down to throw a curve for a strike at sea level, and when you reply upon it as your out pitch, well, you can't throw it for a strike, and don't you think the scouts for the rockies have told all their hitters this? Yep. Also, he will have to adjust to more fastballs because it takes more than one bull pen session to make that adjustment. i think Kuroda gets blown out tonight, and not sure if ... [More]

mmmm. Zobrist out for rays, but still like em today, luuuuuke is back - (scott) and Buehrle is not the same guy that used to handle the rays well, getting old is a bummer - Helli has it worked out now, change up release point is on target - but not the juice, so parlay...

updated 19-8 ytd.
so looks like teams are adjusting, the strike zone got wider, arms are showing strain early, and team meetings, coaching moves, etc. are changing the Mo for some early loooooooooosers.
we are going to stay the course, and use same research, etc.
Tonight looks like I think the dogs will rule the night, I hear them howling already, for after all, it is a full moon isn't it? Looking for at least a net gain from the dogs combined.
Today's picks for tonight from Yesterday.
Miami Marlins +105* vs Chicago Cubs (I saw that line move and I'll take the extra points if the public wants to give them to me)
Colorado Rockies +120* vs Arizona Diamondbacks
Tampa Bay Rays +120* vs Chicago White Sox
Cincinnati Reds +124* vs Washington Nationals
Boston Red Sox -1½ -135* vs Houston Astros (if humber lasts 3 innings I will be surprised)
Minnesota Twins -105* vs Texas Rangers

Haven't posted in a while, lost my groove early, and seem to be on track now, but, hey, that's why they play the game...
Hit MIL and Cubbies (pending) early, hope it continues today...
Atlanta Braves -115* vs Pittsburgh Pirates (braves hot - Burnett was a beast last night, I'll give them that one, have him on my fantasy team, but Braves take this one)
Toronto Blue Jays -107* vs Chicago White Sox (Dickey lost his groove, now has it)
St Louis Cardinals -111* vs Philadelphia Phillies (Wainwright is on his game) and Phils bats are cold as ice. Hammels not sharp)
Arizona Diamondbacks +105* vs New York Yankees (Hughes is in trouble, may or may not get it back tonight). Diamondbacks are believing
