5-4 +1.27 Units yesterday. Still a winning day but wasn't exactly what I hoped for. A week ago I would've never though I had a chance at finishing over 20 units for the month but now that there's 5 days left, I'm shooting 25-30 units this month.
Past 7 days:
5-2 +4.18
5-3 +6.05
3-3 +0.34
3-1 +4.05
6-4 +3.18
5-2 +4.865
5-4 +1.27
32-19 +23.935 Units - 62.75%
On to Today:
Plays:
Oakland Athletics -103 (Haren v. Bedard) W
People seem to respect Bedard a lot more than I do. I wish I waited on this, but maybe I'll add on to it now that I see Haren is +102. Anyways I'll go with the #'s and the inconsistancy of Bedard at times.
Bedard vs. A's:
5 Games - 0-2, 5.16 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, .250 Opp BA.
Haren's been something else this year with a WHIP of .97 and a 1.74 ERA and Opp hitting .191 off him this year. He's gone atleast 7 innings in all but 3 starts this year... 2 of those 3 starts came in the 1st 3 games.
Haren vs. O's:
5 Games - 2-2 3.60 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, .223 Opp BA.
Neither team has seen much of either pitcher but I'll go with Haren. The O's bullpen is terrible and the A's have hit lefties well this year.
Atlanta Braves -154 (Hudson v. Moyer) L
Philadelphia Phillies @ Atlanta Braves UNDER 8.5 -106 L
Under's just hit when these two face each other. Moyer's #'s aren't great against the Bravos but he's been in the AL all these years and last year gave up 3 in 7.1 and 4 in 6. Not great but will do. Some of these guys have been hitting lefties very well this year as well. Hudson had a rough game last time but he was due to get rocked and now that's done, he's back home, he should pitch like he's been doing. This year vs. the Phillies he's dominated:
2 starts - 15 IP, 6 Hits, 3 ERs, 5 BBs, 6 Ks.
I don't expect much offense from the Phillies and the Braves will never really put an offensive onslaught on the other team.
I never like paying this much but sometimes you just have to do it.
Washington Nationals @ St. Louis Cardinals OVER 8.5 +102 (Bowie v. Reyes) W
Well Bowie threw an amazing 69 pitches in 3.1 Innings in his start last week vs the O's. So that leaves the Washington bullpen. The Cards are hitting much better now and carry momentum into this game so I expect there to be runs when the bullpen gets in. Then Reyes who's been consistantly giving up a few ERs over a span of 5-6 innings, with the exception of last week he gave up 7 to Det. But hell... the Nats keep getting offense some how.
Cleveland Indians +118 (Byrd v. Robertson) W
Byrd's road #'s are solid. This is an important series and anyone priced at a dog is worthy of a play this whole series. Huge win yesterday to get the momentum rolling.
Kansas City Royals +113 (the KING vs. Meche) L
Seattle Mariners @ Kansas City Royals UNDER 8 -110 L
seems too easy to me on the under. Meche dominated the M's earlier this year. He got his bad game out the way. Felix had control issues last start so still recovering. He should pitch better but might allow a couple of runs, enough for the Royals win.
Leans:
Houston Astros @ Arizona Diamondbacks OVER 9.5 -102 (Williams v. Gonzalez)
Woody Williams has been terrible this year:
10 starts - 1-6, 5.52 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, .296 opp BA.
Edgar Gonzalez doesn't need to be starting either, just spot starting for Randy Johnson. he started the year out as a starter, but didn't perform, and Owings took his spot.
Started twice against the Stros back in 04 but was rocked each time, limited #'s but still a lot of the same faces. The Stros desperately need to get back on track offensively and this is a good spot with a guy who was demoted to the bullpen and didn't fair well as a starter this year.
San Diego Padres -126 (Maddux v. Bush)
Milwaukee Brewers @ San Diego Padres OVER 7 -117
Bush has been worse on the road, and the Brewers just can't win on the road. Bush did dominant the Padres last year, but I don't think that happens again. Maddux has great #'s against the Brew Crew too, but the past couple years he's had some bad outtings vs them.
24 games - 13-6, 2.66 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, .239 opp BA.
Brewers have lost 4 straight series.
