Info for Tuesday bases...

[Capt. Slap]

Feel free to drop any info you have on the games...and your leans...


TAMPA BAY VS. CLEVELAND INDIANS



After an off-day Monday, the Rays will host the Indians on Tuesday afternoon in a 1:05 ET contest at Progress Energy Park. Gary Glover will start for the Rays, as Maddon wants to see the right-hander make a start. A parade of right-handed contenders for the bullpen will follow Glover: Dan Miceli, Scott Dohmann, Shawn Camp, Ruddy Lugo and Juan Salas. Righty Jake Westbrook will start for the Indians.

 

[Capt. Slap]

DETROIT TIGERS VS. PITTSBURGH PIRATES



Pittsburgh returns home Tuesday to host the American League champion Tigers at 1:05 p.m. ET. Left-hander Paul Maholm is set to make his third preseason start for the Pirates, and he'll face off against Detroit righty Justin Verlander.

 

[Capt. Slap]

*NOTE

The Astros and Devil Rays have a B game tomorrow (Tuesday)...Woody Williams vs. Jamie Sheilds


Cleveland might be a solid bet tomorrow

 

[Capt. Slap]

WASHINGTON VS. FLORIDA

The Marlins take on the Nationals on Tuesday at 1:05 p.m. ET. Ricky Nolasco makes the start for Florida, while Washington is countering with Matt Chico.

 

[Capt. Slap]

OAKLAND VS. CHICAGO WHITE SOX

A's righty Rich Harden will face righty Charlie Haeger of the visiting White Sox in a 1:05 p.m. PT start Tuesday at Phoenix Muni. Harden is expected to pitch five or six innings.

 

[Capt. Slap]

With Harden pitching 5 or 6 innings the Athletics jump out to me as a solid bet

 

[Capt. Slap]

ROCKIES VS. CUBS

The Cubs will travel down Interstate 10 to Tucson for the last time this spring on Tuesday for a 3:05 p.m. CT matchup with the Rockies. Left-hander Ted Lilly will make his third start and fourth Cactus League appearance. Also scheduled to pitch is closer Ryan Dempster, who was sidelined for a few days because of spasms in his shoulders.

 

[Capt. Slap]

The Rockies have not named a started for the game tomorrow

They probably don't care about the game, while the Cubs might seeing as it's the last time they travel to Tucson

The Cubs might be a solid bet.

 

[SportsNut]

Good stuff. Will get involved in the AM. Thanks....oh an TB 3-16SU with 17 games less then 5 runs scored.....NYY just one loss at home so far

 

[Capt. Slap]

SEATTLE VS. ARIZONA

The D-backs return to Tucson Electric Park at 1:05 p.m. MT on Tuesday to take on the Mariners. Edgar Gonzalez will start for the D-backs against Jeff Weaver.

 

[Capt. Slap]

Good stuff. Will get involved in the AM. Thanks....oh an TB 3-16SU with 17 games less then 5 runs scored.....NYY just one loss at home so far

Yeap, I've been keeping a memo of the Yanks at home and Tampa Bay overall

 

[Capt. Slap]

GIANTS VS. RANGERS

What's next for the Giants? Try rounds of golf, leisurely naps and just sitting around doing nothing. They receive their only scheduled off-day of the spring Monday. They'll go back to work Tuesday with an exhibition game against the Texas Rangers at Surprise Stadium. Right-handers Russ Ortiz of the Giants and Robinson Tejeda of the Rangers are the probable starting pitchers.

 

[Capt. Slap]

TWINS VS. RED SOX

The Red Sox also have an off-day Monday and will return to play Minnesota on Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. Josh Beckett will start that game.

 

[Capt. Slap]

DODGERS VS. CARDINALS

Schmidt has said he does not like to pitch simulated games, but that's what he'll be doing Tuesday on a back field so the Dodgers can start Hendrickson against St. Louis in what might double as an audition for the fifth starter's job and showcase for potential trade partners. Broxton will be joined by Saito in pitching on back-to-back days for the first time this spring.

PITCHING FOR ST LOUIS IS ANTHONY REYES...HE IS 2-0 THIS SPRING WITH A .90 ERA IN 10 INNINGS PITCHED

ST. LOUIS IS A SOLID BET

 

[Capt. Slap]

YANKEES VS. PHILLIES

The Yankees travel to Dunedin, Fla., to face the Blue Jays on Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET. Right-hander Jeff Karstens is scheduled to start, with right-hander Tomo Ohka going for Toronto.

Right-hander Scott Proctor and left-hander Mike Myers are scheduled to work in relief for the Yankees. The Blue Jays plan to use right-handers Victor Zambrano, John Thomson and Jason Frasor out of the bullpen.

 

[Capt. Slap]

ORIOLES VS. METS

The O's had their only off-day of the spring on Monday and will return to action with their first game under the lights tonight at 7:10 ET vs. the Mets. Jaret Wright gets the start.

Mike Pelfrey gets the nod for the Mets

I watched him pitch last week (he took over for Maine in the 5th) and pitched SUPERB...I'll probably be on the Mets

 

[Capt. Slap]

Also, from the Mets page

The Mets host the Orioles at 7:10 p.m. on Tuesday in a game that will pit right-hander Mike Pelfrey against Baltimore righty Jaret Wright. During Monday's off-day, Mets pitchers John Maine, Marcos Carvajal and Billy Wagner will pitch in a simulated game at Tradition Field.

 

[Capt. Slap]

ANGELS VS. PADRES

The Angels are idle on Monday. They return to action on Tuesday night in Peoria, Ariz., where Ervin Santana makes his fifth Cactus League appearance, engaging Padres right-hander Chris Young. ... Right-hander Kelvim Escobar will throw 75 pitches on Monday in a Triple-A game against Oakland, and Jered Weaver is scheduled to throw 45 pitches in a simulated camp game in Tempe. ... Shea Hillenbrand continues to suffer from the flu.

 

[Capt. Slap]

For what it's worth, my plays are..

Mets, Padres, Cardinals, Cubs, Oakland and Cleveland

That got fucked up....

Marlins -130 {2.5 units}

Check out the lineups @ MLB.com.....

 

[SportsNut]

YTD: 1-0 +1.50 units

Today :
marlins @ -130 {2.5units}
Tribe @ -140 {1unit}

 

[Capt. Slap]

Interesting Marlins bet...I didn't really think of the whole "fade Nats on the road" angle

Wish I had looked into the games a bit more before bed, but I honestly think I can go 4-2 or 5-1 today, more towards the end of Spring Training is a bit easier

Good luck on your Marlins bet though, I see it's tied through 2

 

[Capt. Slap]

Tampa up 4-0 = lossssssss

 

[CHAMPBASI]

Captain,

Where are you following the Clev-TB game? I'm following action on MLB and they are behind and still showing 1-0 Tampa.

Agree, going to need a serious comeback but hopefully with TB bringing out a relief pitcher every inning, it only takes 1 bad pitcher to get back in this game.

 

[SportsNut]

Cle is done. The two biggest sucker plays were Det and then Cle. I was trying so hard to not play Cle but I have no discipline at this point. Fla down 1-0. The Tigers pitchers after Verlander were pretty bad....so bad it shouldnt have warranted road chalk vs Pitts normal lineup.....

 

[Capt. Slap]

I follow the scores on Wagerline.com if I'm not watching/listening live

 

[SportsNut]

adding: Colorado Rockies {2units}

 

[cubsker]

Rockies/Cubs is on MLB.com. cubs have bases loaded and they call a pitch at a guy's shin for a strike. One of the worst strike calls I've ever seen.

 

[Capt. Slap]

^^^ I was watching that.

I was on the Cubs and was so pissed...

But seriously, the dude that grounded into the double play, how fucking slow was he?

I can't believe the Cubs lost

 

[Capt. Slap]

Also, the final strike that was called with the full count and man on first in 9th was complete bullshit

You know they just wanted to get the game over

 

[SportsNut]

added:

Orioles {1unit}
NYY {2.5 units}

BOL

 

[SportsNut]

Lost about a unit oh well. had I had some balls would have hit a nice dog or two..

 

[Capt. Slap]

LOL, I went 5-2 and lost money (I ended up playing Yanks, unposted in chase mode)

I had so much on Cleveland and the Cubs its not even funny

And whats worse is last night I planned on doing Tampa, Oakland and Boston ML parlay 124 to win 700 (which is a shitload for me, a unit is normally 55 to win 50)...and of course I didn't, and went with Cleveland big

 

[cubsker]

Also, the final strike that was called with the full count and man on first in 9th was complete bullshit

You know they just wanted to get the game over

Yep, that pitch was 6 inches outside to Pie. that guy who hit into the DP in the 8th must be the slowest guy in the world.
