MLB 2007: 61 W-5V-46 L +85.28 units
2-1-0 yesterday, the TB bet was void (2-2 after 5 thanks to Sexson
RBI ) SF & Halos did the job.
Leans 1-1, Mets screwed it up, White Sox cashed in (had them in a double).
As some of you know, tonight (central european time) is the Champions League final between my boys Liverpool FC and the Italian side AC Milan.
So I might not be fully operational
once the final is over. I wanted to go to Athens so badly, but had some obligations at the uni so couldn't. Tough luck.
Anyways, here's to Liverpool. COME ON RED MEN, let's make it SIX after tonight. History is being made ladies and gents. :cheers:
Let's get to business. A small note, these are only leans so far, initial knee jerk reaction.
White Sox (Garland) (-2/adjusted runline 3.16 @ Pinny)
I'm looking at this one hard. How can you not like the White Sox the way they've been hitting? These guys are KILLING the ball as they should have done since day one of the season. With Thome back and hitting the ball I'm thinking they are heating up BIG.
Garland has improved (from 0-2 to 3-2, wins against NYY, KC and LAA, 3-0, 2.01 ERA in May, the team is putting runs on the board for him after a while, and most of all the White Sox bats are SIZZLING.
Get them while they're still not too pricy.
This price is outrageous. I know the Sox are supposed to win by 3 in order for this one to cash in and Gaudin has been solid but Oaktown still have pen problems, they're missing several guys from the lineup. I'm thinking, if Gaudin gets torched early, they will have to get their pen to work and they can't afford that.
All I'm saying is this price is ridiculous.
Marlins (Kim) (2.11 @ Pinnacle)
Yeah, go on and think Byung Hyun Kim is a bum. I won't. This guy is severely underrated. I remember him at Colorado, he was solid at times, even though this year he started in the minors, he is quite an experienced pitcher. Just because he has a bloated ERA at this point of the season doesn't mean he's a disastrous pitcher. He is 2-2 this year with a 7.15 ERA, and I'm thinking he's getting used to the team and the teammates and is ready to make a fresh start.
Philly couldn't win last night with their best pitcher on the mound, and I'm not going to put my trust in the hands of Freddy Garcia (1-3, 4.86 ERA). His forte are day starts, and this is a night road game.
He already got the win against Florida this season, but allowed 7 hits in 4.2 innings of work, equaling in 4 earned runs.
I just can't see beyond this dog price on a hot team playing at home.
What makes Freddy and the Phillies favs here?
Tough game in Detroit, I know Colon has been solid but I can't back him on the road at Comerica not right now, perhaps I'll change my view as day goes on, but at the moment I'm not into this one. I won't back Durbin either. Probably a no play.
Red Sox with Schilling could be a compelling bet, more than anything because the whole world will be on the Yankees with these familiar phrases "oh Yankees need it more, oh Yankees want it more". Forget all that. Bloody Sock smells blood. Forget his road woes this year, these are the Yanks. Pettitte has been solid against a leftie killing lineup at Shea, but who says he won't let in a few against Youkillis, Big Papi and Manny?
Can anyone tell me what was the line last night, did 7-3 Boston go over or was it a push?
The Yankees just lack quality at the moment. Why forcing something when you're obviously getting ripped? These are all big names in the lineup but they're not clicking at the moment. Laying anything on them right now is not my cup of tea. I'll take the plus money.
That's it for now. Do share your thoughts please, I still have to look at all these things in depth and check various stats before pulling the trigger on anything.
