CHC/MIL O9 +100

We all know about Zambrano's struggles and Suppan is not exactly a world beater - with these two lineups I would expect runs a plenty.

Funniest thing I've heard in a while...Conversation with GM while he is home alone babysitting the kids, I believe both are under 4.Me: Are you ready to put our biggest bet of the season on the Red Sox tonight?GM to me: YepGM to Kids: You just gotta put your balls out there sometimes. You hear that kids? You just gotta put your balls out there.

Took Zambrano today. Saw the last game and although he did give up a lot of hits, it wasn't as bad as it looked. Defense failed him and then the wheels really came off. His previous start was excellent at Dodger Stadium.

I'll take him over Suppan as a slight dog, no problem. 2 units.

 
Day baseball :confused:

o9 looks like a gift in the Cubs/Brewers game, so I'll take a piece of that action. Both Zambrano and Suppan have ERA's over 5.50 in their last three, and very high WHIPs. Runners are getting on base, which should lead to runs being scored. Now....Milwaukee does have a funky shadow which swings down during day games.....however, I think it is more advantageous for left handed pitchers than right handers for most of the early part of the game. Being that both starters are righties, I think it's a non-factor and feel that over 9 is a solid play.

Crazy ### afternoon parlay.....

Gimmee, Cubs/Twins/Marlins :wall:

I think the Cubs and Marlins have a pitching advantage in the starters....and getting +200 on the Twins is nice. I know LAA has been hot, and Lackey really hot....but the Twins starter was good his first outing, and the team should give me some chance here. Hell, it's a crazy ### parlay....small play on it.

g'luck

 
The Syndicate is also rolling with Zambrano today. He can only get better...

Also, we have the over 9.5 in the ATL/FLA game. I should probably check that out.

 
Dear Atlanta -

Feel free to swing at some of these balls today. 1 run in 2 games? Really? Scott Olsen and Vander Hulk aren't exactly Koufax and Dryesdale.

5 - 2 end of 6 2/3. All we could ask for. Sitll work to do in the game, but he had 9 K's and was great, save for 1 mistake to Prince (who hit a bomb). Man, does Zambrano work fast. Love that.He was throwing just over 90 or so in the beginning. Late, he was hitting 96/97. There was some talk that something might be wrong with his arm earlier this week. He said he's fine, of course, and that people can check the gun next time. I guess he's kinda proved them wrong here.Should rain soon, however. Somebody call the ####### roof guy will ya? It doesn't shut like a door for christ's sake.
 
The over went up in flames by one lousy run after 5 through 2.5 innings - that sucks!

NYY/CHW O9.5 -110

Given my record on totals, I think I may have to stop playing them altogether..................................

### ####it - NO. FBG's is now blocked by F'ing Websense at work. WTF. How do I get around that ####! :hot: Good job though Guru ;)
 
Early night action:

NYM/Phil o9

KC/Cle o9.5

Late night....no plays yet, but looking at

Dodgers (Wolf) +105

Nice price for the road team with a hot pitcher. I want to do a bit more research first though......

Wakefield RL (at +125...want a bit more)

I think the Sox crush Oakland tonight. Wakefield is a slump buster :angry: Oakland's offense is weak and feeble.

Crazy ### parlay for tonight.

Rockies RL

Yankees RL

Cleveland.....RL

:eek:

g'luck

Edited to strikeout the Yankees....not on the RL, just ML.

I decided to back off the Dodgers tonight. Too close to call imo. Still lean Dodgers, but no play.

I did send in the Sox tonight. I've honestly had a big last two nights on crazy plays.....so I've sent it one of my largest plays of the year.

Gimme Wakefield and the Sox -130 for 4 units (yes, alcohol may have been a factor here) :wall:

g'luck

Got a nice kick in the nuts last night, throwing back almost half my winnings. Oh well....still a nice few nights for me....plus I get my cable turned back on today so hopefully I can watch a game and not have to bet on it...yeah who the #### am I kidding.
 
Bet the Giants last night. I thought their bullpen was bad....their clutch hitting is way worse. I get the Giants games on radio up here and I swear, Johnny Miller was about to lose his ever loving mind in the 6th and 7th innings. Comedy of errors, only not funny at all.

 
I like the NYY and NYM as well, but I don't trust either one of them...

I did play Chicago Cubs +100 for a unit. I LOVE Rich Hill at this price pitching against Chuck James.

I've got three right now and want something on this NBA game later to make a 4th play.

Phi/Nym o7.5 +100 -- anyone that can get o7 (key number) is in better shape but I'll take no vig on this one. Both teams have left a ton of runners on in this series, and so far the Phils bullpen has held up in both affairs. Phils hit righties a lot better then lefties so a bonus there and conversely, the Mets hit lefties well and should bust out for at least a couple against Hamels. I think the Mets are a decent play but not at -121 , -110 certainly better to avoid the home sweep imo.

Arizona -106 -- Is Arizona still undervalued? Starters are a wash at best here, I like Livan here though. home team plus a better BP. I was surprised the very hot dbacks are only -106 in this spot.

LAD +1.5 -115 -- very low total plus rookie lefty that the padres offense hasn't seen = a run line dog play for me.

I'm really on the fence with the Whitesox tonight. Contreras had a bad start @ Minnesota, but other then that, it's been all quality outings recently. Mussina already shelled for 5 runs @ CHW this season. I lean under 10.5 but it's -120. CHW offense is so crappy right now I guess they are hard to back. I'm tempted here though.

Good luck Red, Im tempted to play that OVER in the Phils game but we have a lot out there already and to say it hasn't been our week is an understatement. We have the Diamondbacks as well and if things are going well I might try to talk GM into the Dodgers later. Big price probably too big a price to pass up.

Crazy winds out in Chicago - I actually thought I deleted my whitesox thoughts. Still kind of like under there (regardless of the weather).

I jumped on that Phillies over for a unit. Then, I went back to put another unit on the Cavs for the Series at a whopping +450, but it's down to +405 now. Oh well. Good luck tonight...

I ended up playing a little on -115. I think the mets avoid the sweep.

2nd time this week that a +1.5 runline play held on to cover after the team gave up 5 runs in the 9th. Hope no one had Broxton in their fantasy lineup.On the other hand, Valverde's blown save costs us some momentum here.
 
A friend of mine here at work had $1,100 on the Dodgers last night at almost +300 and got kicked in the nads real tough by that 9th inning meltdown... I feel for him!

You were solid yesterday Red. Glad I didn't get the Dodgers bet in, I would may have gone postal after that one.I can't tell you how many games we have lost by a run this week.
 
My balls to the wall play of the day is Toronto +182. McGowan is improving, he is far from awful. Dodgers are definately in a bad spin right now so this seems like a pretty big price for them right now. I value the AL East schedule higher than i do the NL West anyway so this may be slightly in reaction to that as well.

 
Not alot to get excited about on tonight's card. I lean to the TB/FLA Over and Balt-105. In the first csae, I think little of either starter and in the second, Col palyed yesterday and flew across the country while Balt was some getting rest.

I also lean to Houston +130 as CWS has been in a tailspin.

Other thoughts were on the OAK/SF Under with Gaudin and Lincecum on the hill, but I can't pull the trigger on that one either.

I guess I am exercising a little dsicipline and passing - :confused:

You do realize that Houston has lost 6 straight series, including blowing a 2 run lead in the ninth yesterday, right? And the game is in Chicago? And Berkman has just been suspended two games and may not appeal? And Danks has been decent so far this year, while Sampson has been sporatic at best?Just saying, Houston about as unbackable as they come right now. Maybe at +160 or more they are worth a shot. However, if Oswalt aint pitching, I aint playing on the Astros at all.
 
As I hit submit last night for a nice size wager on the Phils/Mets over...game started :finger: why couldn't it start at 7:30?!?!?

Anyway, had zero action last night after getting kicked in the nuts the other night....so I had to find a little something right now.

o9 TB/Florida

BY Kim is very hittable. I don't know what the #### he's throwing this year, but BA against the previous few years, .275./.285./296 now all of a sudden, .202? Something's gonna give, and I think it's a sidewinding Korean who's going to remember that he sucks. I like Florida's offense a lot. Guys can hit and get on base up and down the lineup. Only thing that scares me is a possible rain-shortened game....but I'll take a shot.

ChiSox -1.5 (+170)

Houston is flat out demoralized right now. They are not playing well. So long as Biggio is leading off, and Loretta's batting 5th, they simply can't put enough runs on the board to win. Berkman was susprnded two games today, and whether or not he appeals is up in the air. Either way, right now the Astros are not good. Maybe the Sox aren't world beaters right now, but they are at home, and at nearly 2-1, I'm going to take my chances laying the run here. As mentioned, AStros offense is no good....bullpen was all worked yesterday, and they just flew from Colorado......I see a Sox win tonight.

I'll probably have more later :lmao:

g'luck

well, lets see - for exercising discipline I passed on a 3-0 night with one pending :wall:
 
Interleague 4 pack today of reduced vig:

Tampa Bay +112 - i felt this game was a toss up with dontrelle's whip issues and shields is a real nice pitcher. A coin toss imo so I took the +112

chc/atl o8.5 -105 - marquis' whip problems haven't translated to runs but this evens out in the long run. Hudson has been bombed his last couple starts at home and the chicago offense is hot right now.

ana/stl o9 -105 - evin santana on the road plus anaheims offense of late + a total of 9 or better = over.

sea/sd o8.5 -105 - Jeff Weaver on the mound + seattle offense + total under 9 = over
