[tee*dub]

liking dogs:

Reds
Braves
Marlins.

Just getting started though. What are your early thoughts on these three?:tiphat:

 

[tee*dub]

add: O's with Guthrie to my Dog short list.

Definately playing dogs tommorow.:smiley_acbe:

 

[reNew Orleans]

no way I would bet Reds vs LHP.

Bravos look like theyre worth a shot

I hate betting on games with Zito so I won't even say anything about that game because I am usually wrong.

Im not too sure about picking a side in ny/bal but worthy dog play.



I am not liking the card too much at a glance, a couple look tempting but need to look into them more.

Oak
Oak/Sea Under 8.5
Tex/KC Under 10

 

[tee*dub]

Definite play on Reds. I see plus money now. Not sure how much yet.. Arroyo is trending up giving up 0.3.3.1.3 last 5.. Hill has given up 23 ER LAST 37 ip.. Cinncy vs L-ties no treat but think the Cubs get in funk after bitch slap from Stl Thurs, and Cincy looking to play spoiler. Definately 2 unit for me, maybe more.. Anyone else see this as tasty?:tiphat:

 

[reNew Orleans]

think you are playing with fire honestly. Reds hitting .204 and avg 2.13 runs in their last 10 vs LHP

 

[tee*dub]

Good point.:cheers:.. Like Arroyo of late. I tend to play pitchers not lineups. If I can get both that is a bonus, but I definately look pitchers first..

Your thoughts on Reyes vs Petit?

 

[reNew Orleans]

I like the Bravos, D-Backs awful vs LHP. idk i play lineups usually but the pitching matchup is, atleast in my opinion the braves favor.

 

[Terpman92]

My leans- Pitts/Phils Over, Cubs/Reds Under, Padres, Braves and O's. Nothing booked yet!

 

[The Farm]

Look at the total in LA.. Robertson gets shelled tonight

 

[Man on Fire]

TB is going to limit Hammel to 90 pitches. Boston has just rocked Hammel in the few innings he pitched in July for like 6 runs. And then the TB bullpen has to finish off the game.

Any thoughts on the Over after Boston scored 14 last night.

 

[Magil]

I'm taking a hard look at the Rockies tonight they are at home and shouldn't lack any motivation playing their 1st place division rival. They should be considering this their best shot of the weekend putting their 'ace' on the mound in Fogg.

Also, I like the White Sox at home against Toronto. They pulled a couple of wins out of their ass to beat Detroit and take that series and I think their just gonna keep the ball rolling.
