Leans
Houston ML
MIL/ATL OVER
Minnesota RL +130

Thoughts/Advice
STL/PHI-It might be tempting to play the under because STL doesn't hit LHP well and because Lohse is motivated as hell against Philadelphia because he thinks 3yr/21 million was unfair for his medocre track record. I would urge caution because the Phillies pen has been used a lot, and the Card pen is awful.

The Phillies generally hit great in STL. I would stay away from all plays here and reevaluate after the game and maybe come up with a play for Saturday's game.

Given the condition of both pens and the SP in this series, two of these three games will go OVER.

I think it's definitely possible and probably worth a look. I could see the Yankees hammering Santana. With the way the Angels are hitting, perhaps the OVER is the best play?
 
OVER 9 in Seattle looks good. Olson sucks, and Baltimore hits Washburn.

ALso like Minny at home vs. Cleveland after their marathon and day game vs. Det.... WIth Sowers going I expect the pen to be involved early.

Is DooshTits worth a look against the Sox?

I'm sitting here wondering how the SOx are only -145. No way can the A's hit a knuckleball tommorrow, and they are 2-10 post ASB. Duke has gotten hit around twice.
 
Oakland are 2-10 SU since they traded Blanton which, on top of losing Harden, signalled the abandoning of their playoff-intentions ship.

Douchtits has long been in line for a form correction after going 11 straight starts for 2 ERs or less, and nothing about his last start (6 IP, 8 ERs) says that correction isnt underway.

Boston keen to lose 1st game sans Manny, at home off 5 home losses in 6 games?

I'd put not a cent on that Oakland offense at the best of times, this maybe the worst of times for them.


but for the record...

I dunno Seabass. Wake's given up 16 ER in his last 26 innings against the A's. I lean Oakland or no play here.
 
Price is too high and pressure is on Boston to win without Manny. I hate the Red Sox in this spot.

Good points about Duesch though. I'm passing here.
 
I guess at this point I just feel like Oakland is going to invent a way to lose every single game, so to get a potential playoff team at -145 to beat them is worth it to me...
 
I hear ya Seabass. I just haven't been impressed with Boston's play since the break - and feel like they may try to come out and do too much in their first game without ManRam.

Also, aside from a sweep against SEA, they are 1-8 since the break..... I ain't laying minus anything to a team playing like that. I don't care if they are defending champs
 
Wakefield

[13] Starts vs teams 2 games over .500 or worse
WHIP 1.06, ERA 3.10 - O/U 6-5-2, avg 8.85 runs/game

Boston 5-1 SU at home, 3-4 SU on the road


[8] Starts vs teams 9 games over .500 or better
WHIP 1.50, ERA 5.59 - O/U 3-2-2, avg 10.50 runs/game

Boston 1-2 SU at home, 0-5 SU on the road



Wakefield is 8-2-2 to Over his last 12 starts in which the loser wasn't shutout (average of 10.83 runs/game), with only 1 game totaling less than 8 runs.

Like this thinking. Yanks just couldnt catch a break and LAA made the most of every opportunity early . LAA really saved the game in the 9th with those 2 diving stops as Yanks were locked in and scorching the ball. Plus the bogus OUT call of Pudge at home killed another rally . By no means saying Yanks should have won cause Andy was throwing BP but just saying the scoreboard reads the way it does because LAA played a near flawless game and Yanks did just about nothing right. Think about the balls that were just wide of Cano all nite .

Ervin Santana outside of vs Oak who he owns has been getting hit a bit . When I researched Santana on the road vs AL EAST you see some good awful numbers .

Career Road starts vs AL EAST (14 of them)
2wins
9 Loss
3 ND's ( team was 1-2)
(LAA is 3-11 when he starts on the road vs the AL East)

74.1 INN 104 H
69R 67 ER 11Hrs
27 BB 64 K

Okay so he has had improved on the road in 2008 . Look closely at his starts vs the AL East in 2008 on the road . We have 3 . LAA lost his starts @ Balt , @ Tor and @ TB this season. Longest start 6 innings. None of quality .

16.2INN 26H 14 ER( 25% of his season total) 1Hr 6BB 19K

Also he is 11-3 vs the AL West and Central Opponents in 2008 . 1-3 in IL as well.

Ponson has won his 3 NYY starts at home . His was hit hard his last start but had a terrible track record vs Boston and worse @ Fenway plus Boston was trying to avoid the sweep and Lester just might be there best SP but regardless NYY flaw has been LH on teh road for awhile now.

Ponson career vs LAA? He has won 8 of 10 starts. Granted its been quite some time since he faced LAA . What head to head stats he has are fairly decent vs the LAA lineup .

So if we are talking Murphy's Law and Karma who would you rather ride the LAA SP who is 3-11 in 14 AL EAST career road starts Or the NYY SP who has won of 8 of 10 career starts vs LAA. The kicker of course is NYY is a nice home doggie...Yanks go from -170 +120 in a day .....also believe Yanks have a great track record after allowing 10 + runs in a LOSS.

NYY has to feel Friday and Sat are crucial games with Lackey opposing Rasner on Sunday. Weaver is very hittable and hasnt gone deep in his road starts and LAA pen had to work today if we can get to Santana that further weakens the LAA middle relief for Saturday. Sat should be interesting as Weaver is VERY good in day starts but Yanks have been very good on Saturdays recently especially at home. Moose has also been his best in day starts and past few years he has been solid vs LAA for the most part .

Friday just may be the Yanks best chance on paper to win in the remianing three but think they get at least two.

GL all .....:cheers:
 
bad spot for the Cards vs Hamels... Cards looking forward to Cubs series.. Fading them most likely and Gm 1 appears to be best opp.

Good point. Plus STL has been lackluster vs LHSP for awhile now . Think 4-6 L10 vs LHSP. Marshall and Lilly did well vs them , CC was lights out and Wolf who has lost had just 1 bad inning if I recall. Beat Hamels 2-0 in Philly and stole the game late vs Lilly and Cubs pen in the b9th. Otherwise could be looking at 2-8. CC beat them 3-0 , Johan 9-1 and as I mentioned Hamels lost 2-0. If Hamels can keep them to 2 runs or less again you have to really like Phillies chances. Plus StL really hasnt played well at all. Lose the 4 game series to Milw (swept) , go to NYM and only game they win is versus a 32 year old making his ML debut which NY handed them , got to ATL who is minus its best SP and now its 2 best offensive players and while they take 3 or 4 there wins came in the 8th and 9th innings of close low scoring games. Think 1-0 and 3-2 to start the 8th in those wins......

Also Lohse did win 3-2 at home vs Philly but was also +100 in that game to a terrible SP in Eaton ....big upgrade facing Hamels and Philly bats seem to have come alive past two vs 2 decent SP in Wash (Redding and Lannan)
...

:cheers:
 
Not sure where to begin. Ervin looks like the weak link I guess. He is 4-1 lifetime vs the Yanks and the only loss was when he played away in a Day game where he has always been pitiful. Angels in game 2 14-5 after a win and Yanks in game 2 after a loss 7-13. Anaheim has not had to use any core relievers in how long and Ramirez is suspended.
Cubs are way too high. Karstens is a failure with a 5.22 day era going in front of Paul who has never pitched in the park and the Cubs have also been able to baby their bullpen. I guess the Cubs are going bad now so time to fade them with Pitt. I am not sure Jason Bay who got 4 hits last time he faced Marquis will be able to help tomorrow. Maybe Nady? Jason of course is 7-3 at home as well as 9-2 in the day so an obvious fade.
I think the price is a little high on Tampa. Detroit rested how many good players for tomorrows game. Detroit is 16-4 last 20 vs lefthanders with good history vs Kaz at home. Lean to Texas. Like this starter
Not saying I like Cleveland tomorrow but the team is scoring and Sowers has actually been pitching reasonably well. Someone is actually interested in backing Vasquez after his last 4 road games where he went 24 and 2/3rds innings and gave up 23 runs? Last 10 games the WS have given up an average of 5.9 runs a game.Think i read Frank Thomas is going to be back in for Oakland tomorrow. Have not decided on my bets yet but get a feeling of unreality from much of what I have read here.

I couldn't back NYY tomorrow, I don't see why anyone with the inclination to do so wouldn't take the Over instead/before they took NYY. That's not saying I can't see NYY getting a win, more simply about where imo the greater percentage chance to win a bet is if one can't find oneself backing the Angels.

Oakland becomes that much more attractive on the basis of FT being present?

This is an offense which has...

- scored more than 3 runs in just 4 of their last 16 games (25% of the time), and 3 of those 4 instances were home games.

- scored more than 4 runs in just 5 of their last 25 games (20% of the time).

...and on the flip side...

- have conceded 4+ runs in 12 of their last 14 games (85.7% of the time - J.D. having 3 starts in said period, for 2 x 4+ run totals).


Oakland's best hitters vs Wakefield for a reasonable amount of ABs against him are Cust .444 (4-9), Ellis .412 (7-17) & Crosby .250 (2-8) - absolutely no suprises there since those are the "name" batters anyone would recognise first in this Oakland lineup. Apart from Emil Brown (1-7), noone else has had more than 3 ABs vs Wakefield from the team that last took the field for the As.

BUT, these 3 players bring in the following magnificent bursts of form to this game -

Cust ...... 6 hits last 31 ABs @ .193
Ellis ....... 6 hits last 34 ABs @ .176
Crosby ... 6 hits last 36 ABs @ .166



How can anyone back Oakland when (1) their starter's chances of any kind of decent run support are negligible, (2) they're bleeding runs irrespective of who their starter is, and (3) their best batters vs Wakefield previously are all currently sucking offensive dick?
 
BC Oakland is not high on my list. Neither is Boston. Last 10 at home Boston is 4-6. Last 10 on the road Oakland is 3-7. I am more sympathetic to Oakland because they were trying to win at Tampa and NY where the teams have good winning records currently. Last 10 Oakland at Boston 5-5. Right now I do not see a strong case for either side. Washington with the recent changes tonight and a starter with a 211 era vs the Reds might get my interest because they have started to score and the Reds have given up and are starting someone that looks like a lost cause. KC has some interest because they have started to win games and the WS look sick to me. Pick right now between Oakland and Boston. Ask me if I like the Democrats or the Republicans. Some choices are not worth making but if you think Boston is a great pick GL
 
Last 10 Oakland at Boston 5-5

Since 2002, the Oakland teams not good enough to make the p.s. (04, 05 & 07) have gone 4-13 SU in games played at Fenway, with Boston 3-0 SU in those games started by Wakefield.

By way of contrast, Oakland teams good enough to make the p.s. (02, 03 & 06) have gone 8-5 SU in games played at Fenway, with Boston 0-2 SU in those games started by Wakefield.

Seems there's a natural question to ask of Oakland teams regarding their chances for success in a series at Fenway -

Are their prospects bright for making the p.s., or not?

Oakland's 08 incarnation has yet to play a game at Fenway and does so with their worst streak of form this season in play, a streak which has pretty much killed stone dead any p.s. hopes they may have still held after their front office ditched the staff Ace on them.


but if you think Boston is a great pick GL
Click to expand...

I think Oakland is an ugly pick but, in keeping with the saying that the enemy of one's enemy isn't necessarily one's friend, that doesn't mean I therefore think Boston is a great pick.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

as an aside, the non p.s. making Oakland teams have had their 13 SU losses furnish a totals record of 10-3 to Over. The total line for this game is a low 8.5 for a Fenway game not started by Beckett.
 
Last 15 times Texas has lost and then played at home they are 13-2. At home this season in game two after a loss, the Yankees are 3-8.

I agree...See BoSox and NYY after their weekend series - BoSox get swept and NYY lose 2/3...Buck Showalter echoed these comments this week on tv..........You cant get up for 162 games.....and the Brewers might just keep sliding...

Marquis got lit up on Sun vs Fla.....The only concern for me is that the new Pirate pitcher acquired from the NYY last week is overwelmed pitching for a new team in Wrigley...Im still playing Pgh but thats my big concern...
 
Tidbits from around the leagues


National League

Saint Louis/Philadelphia
The Cardinals have played an NL-high 39 one-run games.

Since Philly won by 18 runs on June 13th, the 5 games they've played against each other since have been decided by 1, 1, 2, 2 & 3 run margins.

The Cardinals have gone a season high 7 games (6-0-1 to Over) without posting an Under result.

The Phillies have won 5 straight games (all in regulation innings) for only the 2nd time this season. They've yet to win 6 straight, and further, haven't won 6 straight games in the regulation 9 innings since May, 2006.

The Brewers are 6-0 to Under in meetings w/the Braves this season.


Washington/Cincinnati

Florida/Colorado
The Marlins have won more than 2 straight games just once (then, 4 games in a row, last 3 road games) in over 2 months (61 games). They've won 2 straight heading into Friday's game.

Friday marked the first time in 14 games that the Rockies failed to put at least 4 runs up on the scoreboard. They average 6.64 runs/game over this span.


American League

Seattle/Baltimore
The Mariners are 6-15 SU their last 21 games.

The Mariners are 2-8 SU their last 10 instances of playing a home game off a win.

The Tigers are 1-5 SU (.200) off their last 6 instances of playing off a loss that followed a win (W->L->x). They were 13-7 SU (.650) in their 20 prior instances this season.


Kansas City/Chicago
The Royals are 3-0 SU off 4 wins that followed a loss (L->WWWW->x) this season.

The Royals have been unable to win both of the 1st 2 games in 14 straight series vs the White Sox (dating back to April of 06).

The Blue Jays have posted 4 consecutive Under results - they have only 1 longer streak posted (9 straight) this season.

The Blue Jays are 1-5 SU their last 6 road game 1s, their sole win being against that powerhouse of a team, Seattle (5-13 SU overall in road game 1s this season).


Minnesota/Cleveland
The Twins are 6-1 SU their last 7 home game 1s.

The Twins are 5-1 SU at home, as opposed to 3-3 SU on the road, vs the Tribe this season.

The Tribe is 1-11 SU in their last 12 road games vs teams w/.500 or better records.


Boston/Oakland
The Red Sox are 1-5 SU their last 6 home games, the 7th time they've managed such a feat since 2003. The only instance from there that they've gone to 1-6 SU over 7 straight home games was when the Yankees infamously swept them in a 5 game series in August of 2006, an act which pretty much killed stone dead their hopes of making the p.s. that year (the team they faced before that which started their 1-6 SU run was Detroit, the team which represented the AL in the WS that season. In other words, it took some seriously stiff opposition to inflict such a run of losses on the Red Sox. One wonders whether the A's have similar starch to themselves, or are instead complete soft cocks).

The Red Sox 9-2 SU their last 11 games vs AL teams w/sub .500 records.

The A's are 1-7 SU their last 8 road games.

If the A's blew any more cock, the Yag porn stars union would sue them for unpaid membership dues.

Love the cubs. Hows going to drive in runs for pittsburgh?? They have 2 guys that can hit.. and yes i know the cubs are do for a let down..
 
What about the over in Tampa Bay? TB is 8-0 to the under their last 8... Detroit off a day game - resting some players. Detroit hits southpaws well and TB hits righties well.
 
Over in Seattle looks good but is expensive; however, 9 is a crucial number to get.

I think Hamels on the road laying chalk is the way to bet the game in StL.
 
No real opinion yet on the Cardinal game but a Phillie win with a Looper-Blanton match up in game 2 would fit the profile for the Cardinal win off loss in game 2.
 
Anyone make a case against Lincecum and SF today in Petco?

I like fading the Braves and Milwaukee is looking to shake the Cubs series memories, so the Brew crew is on my radar.
 
saturday it is eveland vs. lester and sunday braden vs. dice k. can't see either of those lefties containing the red sox enough nor can i see oakland scoring more than 3-4 runs any of those games.

duchsherer 8 ip 1h earlier this year against red sox, fenway park will be much more of a challenge but best chance for oakland to win is today with their ace and theyre catching 135... patient hitters against the knuckleballer who they already rocked earlier this year (8 runs in 5 innings) and looked pretty bad against the yankees. big hurt 15 for 53 with 7 bombs against wake. oakland has had some close tough losses in this recent poor stretch but no reason they can't beat a red sox team that looks awfully poor right now

my money is on duscherer and the athletics +135

Cubs predominantly hit unders on friday games at a near 3:1 ratio. Taking the under and holding my nose..
 
I like it too. Marquis a groundball pitcher, and the kid is a big unknown. Treading lightly but I like the price at 10 even.
 
Playing the Cubbies under myself . Actually like what the trades have done for that once beat up bullpen . Marquis good day splits . Cubs 13-4 UND Fridays so far . Wind supposedly in from center according to scoresandodds.com . Which is a huge plus for Marquis . Karstens was solid in his NYY stint in late 2006 and was doing very well in AAA . His road splits were of nno concern.

Anyone have the Grand Salami total ? Think its 138 ...
 
took PITT ML and UNDER for 1/2 unit each.. havin fun at work..

will be hittin Yanks TT OVER 4.5
MILK ML
MINNY ML as well
 
Thanks SC and DJ. Played the GS UND small. Lots of runs lately some good quality SPs on the hill , some travel involved , the trades juggling the lineups and some minor injuries hopefully keep it in check enough till the pens get involved...

BOL
 
Actually really like the UNDER @ Seattle but was thinking I could get 9.5 . Balt had to fly out West from NYY and Seattle played a tough 4 game series in Texas , had to fly out after a night game back to Seattle as well. Plus Balt 4-10 on the road vs LHSP and Seattle 1-6 since it cut Sexson there best weapon vs LHSP. Food for thought...Olson was solid out West earlier vs Oak and decent his last time out vs LAA. Washburn has pitched well of late for a good 10 starts...BOL
 
Good points about the M's against the lefties, but Olsen still struggles, and so does the O's pen. He went more than 5 innings for the first time in forever in his last start and is a guy I don't trust.

First game is a good one for the O's with a staggering 23-12 record in series openers.

Also batting .314 in their last 10 games vs. LHP

One other note - last six matchups between Washburn and O's have gone over.

I'm leaning Balt and OVER and may paralay the two.... Still looking at this one.

I actually like the O's pen if it the SP can give some innings . Overuse and injuries is what caused there dcline from its great early season form. Matt Albers was a godsend . There really isnt a weak linkout there . Sherrill has had his struggles at times recently but again SEA struggles vs LHP and to his benefit he is LH and also going"Home" . Outside of Cormier everyone has shown some nice glimpses IMO. Castillo , Cabrera , Bradford , and Bierd . JimJohnson has done a good job all season.

Dont but by that .314 vs LHP much because they faced 1 LHSP and it was home vs Joe Saunders who they didnt do all that much of till the 7th or so. Which I believe we both did okay on since you had LAA ML and I had Balt +1.5 RL but also Balt 1st 5 inn ML. Lat bunch of games vs LH away Balt didnt do much. Parrish allowed 3 runs in 7 innings , Lilly 4 runs in 7 innings , they hit Lannan and Marshall some , Parra and Perez were decent .

Tough game IMO. I definetly prefer the UNDER though to a side but could see SEA winning since Balt has not shown capable of out hitting a team when facing a LHSP. Last 3 SEA games where its been LH vs LH were SEA 4-1 , DET 2-1 in xtras and Boston 4-0 . Bakt 4 road wins vs LHSP were 9-1 vs Lannan (Olson SP) , 5-1 vs Danks (Burres) , beat Marshall 7-5 (Guthrie) and Washburn 8-7 which Washburn left after 5 innings with a 5-2 lead . Just how WINS did SEA bullpen hand Balt in April ??

Just think when we factor the travel for Balt all the way out West to Seattle after such a high energy NYY series and the Mariner's coming back late from Texas seems like a game for the SP's. Olson has some solid starts on the road Wash , Minny , Oak , decent @ Milw outside of the 2 Hrs. Some teams have just owned him especially the AL East . Think vs KC and Det Olson got the 6th inning jitters ...

:cheers:

Guthrie also was throwing well but allowed a 3 run Hr I think in the 7th or 8th vs Chi so again they outpitched there opponent really in a win vs LHSP. Guthrie also might be the most dominant SP outside of Rich Harden in IL play past few years . Check Harden vs the NL in 2008 its laughable , granted he now is in the NL.
 
I won't fight you on too many things Nut, but the O's pen isn't good. Despite being in the all star game, Sherrill isn't a good closer. Don't think Baltimore wasn't trying to shop him. Teams in the AL are already aware of his control struggles. Jim Johnson is the best pitcher and honestly the only one that I don't cringe at every time he enters a game.

I guess what this comes down to is how long we see Olsen going. If past history is any indicator, I don't see him getting past the sixth (more likely even less) and that means 3-4 innings of the pen.


Guthrie is a very good pitcher. As many quality starts as the best pitchers in the league. Forget Daniel Cabrera, he's their ace.


Also, Baltimore's last five outing vs. LHP

Saunders 4 runs in 6.2 innings
Robertson 7 runs in 2.1 innings
Rogers 4 runs in 6 innings
Parrish 3 r in 7 innings
Lannan - 7 runs in 5 innings.

So 25 runs in last 27 innings off lefties.

I can't take an under here bro. Still leaning Balt and OVER.....
