Take a look at Atlanta today...
Miguel Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez were out til well after 4 am at the Peachtree in Atlanta last night. Rough when you got a double header the next day. There is one problem though... Mitre vs. a POS in the early game...
Just something to consider.

Those guys are young. Hell, when I was their age I was out till 4:00 a.m and then at work by 9:00 the next day. Granted I didn't have 90mph fastballs wizzing by me.....but last I checked Atlanta is running Buddy Carlyle out there today.

Some thoughts about today's card although I have not booked anything yet:
Baltimore sucks - that was for you GM ( and for me having cost me $ last night as well)
Philly is a chase play today.
Fla -115 in the early game followed by ATL in the late game looks good to me. Mitre goes in the early game against Carlyle, with Smoltz getting the nod against Vandenhurk in the nightcap. The juice on the late game is very steep.. -226
I like the Cubbies today behind Lilly at +102. Milwaukee has been struggling lately and maybe Pinella getting suspended is what the Crubbies needed.
I like Cincy -111 versus STl and the stiff, Wellemeyer STL is running out there - particularly when you get Harang at that price.
SD -144 seems like a good number on C. Young, but I will probably pass
KC +250: call me crazy but I like this. De La Rosa has been respsectable for a crappy club like KC. It always seems like KC does reasonably well against the Tribe. Having just lost two in a row to Detroit, and then an off day, it would not surprise me if KC were to win tonight. CC was not sharp at all last time out ( I remember, I was there) and wonder if he will be "on" against the bottom dwelling KC Royals;
CWS -117: The NYY are running out Clippard, the CWS run out Buehrle. Enough said. I also lean to the over in this tilt.

Are you kidding? THOSE are precisely the kind of guys I want to back! Aggressive, tireless, hard hitting.Give me Mitre or give me death.Took the Braves (+104) in game 1 for some action only.Heard a rumor that a couple of the Marlins players were out real late drinking mojitos and chasing tail.

As much as it pains me, Baltimore looks like a good play again. +131 vs Baek? Gonna need to have a short memory here because this looks like a play that should be made.
Not sure if you've heard, but their bullpen is a mess. May want to check with your compadre.I did just make a play on the Seattle/Baltimore game....o9Seattle is on fire. Burress has pitched well for the O's so far...but I think he's been doing it with smoke and mirrors, as he has an ERA just about 3.00, but a WHIP over 1.50...and he only goes about 5 innings per start, after which, yep that O's bullpen comes into play. Baek is not a world beater either, so I'm just taking the over here.

LOL, I know very well the state of the Balto bullpen. I've been through the war with them. Im really trying to have a short memory here.Burres has only had 5 starts this year, the first two were atrocious, the last 3 have been good. The first two were against Boston and Cleveland so his WHIP is skewed a little bit by those first two bad starts.Baek's recent form is even more shaky so I think that might be a little more relavent. Just no way the guy should be -141 here. And if I thought Balto was a good bet against King Felix last night at a shorter number than I can't be afraid to go back with them at better value. Their bullpen is not going to blow every game. Seattle's current form for bullpen is not great either and they have been getting pretty taxed lately too, their starters have not been carrying the load very far either.Over might be a decent play too but I think I still like the Orioles.Not sure if you've heard, but their bullpen is a mess.

Another small play for tonight..
Houston @ Colorado o10
Houston had an off day yesterday and I just have to believe this offense is going to kick it into gear one of these days. Wandy Rodriguez is a pretty hittable left and Jason Hirsh had a nice start to the year, but last three starts has an ERA around 9.00. I think this one has the makings of a 7-6 game.

Tonight's four pack:
Tampa Bay +1.5 +105 -- I like under in this game but bodog is dealing u8.5 -125 - uh no thanks to that vig but we will play the +1.5 with the lower total angle. Especially at plus vig with this fresh starter for the Rays (another nice angle with Sonnanstine's debut).
KC/Cleveland o9 -110 -- Wouldn't be surprised to see Cleveland get all 9 here. They crush lefties and especially score at home. Sabathia brings this total down but I can see KC getting 3 here to help push this over.
Chc/Mil o9 +100 -- wanted 8.5 badly on this one but I have to take what I can get. I'm fading both starters at this point and like the Brewers vs. lefties. Their main problem is abysmal hitting with RISP (see last night). Lets hope all those baserunners translates to an over.
Colorado -127 -- chalk favorite of the night for me. Rodriquez is god awful on the road and the Rockies hit lefties pretty well. Big bullpen edge + home advantage. I like Hirsh to bounce back a bit (really bad bad last outing) - this is his former team he gets to face as well.

RR, if you happen to get the inclination, can you please elaborate on this? I had asked in another thread if anyone knew of any sites to get accurate bullpen numbers, but no one answered....I'd really be interested if you knew.The reason I asked, is (and I don't have numbers in front of me right now) I believe Colorado's bullpen has the highest ERA in the majors. I also believe that the Astros bullpen has been relatively serviceable, especially over the past month or so....since Lidge got moved to 7th inning duty.
I happen to agree with you on Colorado, as fading the Stros on the road is always a good idea, was just hoping you could lend some help

ROUND ROBIN PARLAY OF THE NIGHT!!!!
now with 20% more taste
This isn't exactly what I told JTC we'd play, so I'm hoping I just didn't cause the world's biggest breakup since the unexplicable dissolvement of Soundgarden (come on...it's not like a bandmember died. They were so goooood) with my Maverickness.
Here we go.
RR Parlay by 2's, 3's, 4's
Philadelphia Phillies +152 for Game
Los Angeles Dodgers +143 for Game
Texas Rangers +137 for Game
Baltimore Orioles +139 for Game
We had San Fran in there instead of Texas, but I really can't trust Cain right now and I've been riding the Snakes on this gorgeous recent run. Johnson has been extremely good to me. Add that to the bullpen factor and I just can't play Cain, no matter what.
I do think Texas has a shot at home against Robertson, who has been garbage of late. That bullpen isn't too great either. The scrub on the mound for the Rangers is no better, no worse than any other scrub they roll out there.
Love the Dodgers tonight and will loby JTC to press on this one if and only if the others look good.
The Orioles game is not a misprint. I'm over the anger. It's good value.
Single Plays - Risking a Unit:
White Sox -127
Red Sox RL -105
Atlanta RL -125
Over 8 -130 Pitt/Wash
Had the Rockies set to go, but I got cold feet. Hirsch has been an absolute nightmare since Aug 22. I can't back him. I don't care how awful the Astros are, I juse can't back Hirsch. And Guru is correct. The Colorado BP has some big time flaws getting to the closer.
Red Sox should dominate tonight.
White Sox should win.
Atlanta is clearly the better team right now and I'll take a shot on them to lay into Vander Hulk.
Low total in the Pitt/Wash game. Hate the -130, but this moved from 8.5 to 8 before I could act and then the juice went north in a hurry.

Lost 2.5 on the Chisox so I put in a late 3-team, cosjobs-esque parlay, for 1/2 unit that paid 2.5 (my money back).
I never do that but damned if I didn't hit it. The kicker was I took the Dodger run-line. Anyway, that was fun.

You guys need to get up and dust yourselves offI think we all got rocked last night
Took the Braves (+104) in game 1 for some action only.Heard a rumor that a couple of the Marlins players were out real late drinking mojitos and chasing tail.
I did just make a play on the Seattle/Baltimore game....o9Seattle is on fire.

Baek is not a world beater either, so I'm just taking the over here.
Broke out down a few pennies last night on posted plays. However, I got home last night and remember that my cable got cut by my pool guys 
So, I'm like WTF, no tv tonight? I pop in a Blues Clues DVD for my one year old and start playing a little poker. And then I'm like, ahhh, who am I kidding, both my bets are on late games, let me throw down a small, crazy $25 parlay on some early games just for the #### of it.Cleveland u9/Pitt/Milkwaukee/Toronto o9.5 and whaddya know 
I think this is the first 4 team parlay I've played all year....I usually will throw down a three teamer every few weeks and of course a two team RL parlay at least 1-2x per week. Anyway, that made my night. No cable again tonight....but plenty of beer in the fridge I'll post my ridiculous one tonightSo the theme of the night was to lose on all posted plays and then hit ridiculous parlays...How does that help your fellow degenerates?
I was going to too last night, but I had to rush to get it in...and the Brewers line kept changing on me! Then my daughter needed a diaper change, and well next thing you know, games had already started. This is the first four-teamer I've played all year, never thought I had a prayer.

Twas a tough night. I should have believed that the Baltimore bullpen was going to fail us again, I don't know why I didn't want to believe that one.
Red Sox were just a huge disappointment for us. They left a lot of guys on base but they were so flat in key spots, really don't know what to make of that one but for sure won't be backing them tonight. I have a bad feeling about Wakefield.
Dodgers could have really helped us but they couldn't even muster one run. Pathetic night really.
I'm disgusted as after last night we are back to dead even $$$wise on the season. So it looks like a new season starts for us today, we blew through all of our surplus this week but we aren't out, not by a long haul.
