Hey SN who do you like in the MYM/COL game I'm leaning towards NYM. I don't think Jimenez pitches another gem. Any thoughts.
Hey SN who do you like in the MYM/COL game I'm leaning towards NYM. I don't think Jimenez pitches another gem. Any thoughts.
See my problem with that rationale, SN, is that I see no reason that NYM can't sweep Colorado. They just aren't good enough to slot into that "2 out of 3" mindset...
I can't ever do something blindly, but I do understand why you say that...the sense that you are actually making the bet today, you just can't enter it yet...
I really like these sports discussions as you actually see reasons for plays and not just the play.
The best play on the board is Santana to beat the A's, and this is coming from an A's fan. Here's the downside, before I get to the upside. Bob Geren manages to win series. I haven't pulled the stats, but I would have to think that Oakland in game 1 of a series is very good, Oakland in game 2 of a series so-so, and Oakland in game 3 of a series (given they won the first 2) a terrible record. He's going to manage to win the series TONIGHT and then fade off tomorrow, although the all-star break could change that.
Now, the upside. Ervin Santana has always given the A's trouble. Dana Eveland is a pitcher who will always have a higher WHIP than some with a lower ERA because of his propensity to nibble, but lately his pitching just hasn't been all there. It isn't the same Eveland that we've seen the whole season. The A's have three very good pitchers to back right now in Duchsherer, Gallagher, and Smith, but you can figure that a bunch of their losses are going to come behind Eveland and Blanton. Anaheim knows the importance of this game as there is a big difference between a 4 game lead and a 5...5 is demoralizing, 4 makes you an outside contender, IMO...
Second favorite play today is Pedro over the Rockies. The funny thing is that a lot of the talk in this thread sounds like how I used to bet...thinking there is no way that the Mets can keep winning with bums coming up big. Well, you know what, baseball is a streaky game and you are better off riding the streaks than constantly waiting for them to turn around. When they turn around, jump off quick. Pedro to my eyes has been improving slightly, and Ubaldo Jiminez is not. I honestly think the only way the Rockies win this game is if Jiminez can come in and throw seven dazzling innings, and if he does, I'll tip my cap...but at -129, I don't see how you can expect Jiminez to do that...
A less talked about one that I like is Nasty Nate Robertson over Scott Baker and the Twins. While Detroit has fallen back a little bit again, they know the importance of ending first half over .500, and that means two wins in two days. DET has better players than Minnesota and has reason to want to win more...it's really that simple. Throw in Minnesota's 12-14 record against LHP and propensity to put a nice record together due to pummeling bad teams at home, and you've got a play.
On plays that I'm less confident in...I like Rasner to get the Yankees a bounceback win against the control artist Litsch, and I like Johnny Danks and the Sox enough on the road to back them as slight chalk against the RH mashing Texas Rangers...
im on that parlay too shortline, gl
SN, I wanted to play the UNDER in NYM until I saw this stat:
Wind OUT to LF is 7-1 O/U since 5/12/2007. Rocks lineup looks like shit and you have a dead UNDER ump going today. FUCKING wind has me passing.

Playing the Reds. Ok earlier in the Week I read the Online Cinni newspaper. It said the players were trying hard to do well enough to not be broken up. Their goal on the road trip was at least an even split. They need 1 more win for that. They are 6-4 last 10 at the site and have won 3 straight at the site so its not a site they see as a big problem. Their pen has been playing much better than the Brewers and I think you have to give at least a small pitching edge. The Days are fairly even today but tomorrow is a worst best situation where the Brewers just romp so they have to win today. The Days info for tomorrow is totally independent of tomorrows pitchers. The Reds really do stink on the road Sundays and the brewers really are great at home Sundays so--Reds ml here.
Ok here's what I'm looking at.
There is no doubt that Volquez is getting too much credit despite regressing dramatically in the past few weeks. Volquez has posted an ERA of 6.32 in his last 3 starts and has no business laying road chalk here, at all. Even if it is a rather mediocre McClung we're talking about.
The thing with Volquez is, he still isn't prone enough to giving up the long ball (2 homers in last 10 starts) and the Brewers rely on home runs a lot. However, the Brewers are 30-16 at home, whilst Cincinnati is 19-30 on the road.
Seth McClung is far from a reliable pitcher, in fact he's had similar woes as Volquez lately, but the fact is, the Reds off a win and in game 2 is not the best spot for them. Milwaukee is 19-11 in Game 2, CIN is 15-15.
Here's what I really like:
In last 10 Reds' wins, 5 of them have been with one run.
Furthermore, Milwaukee is 7-4 in last 11 games, and out of those 4 losses three of them are by one run. Getting a full run at this price in a game which should be a close one, but in which I would give the initial edge to the Brewers, is a very good deal for me.
I'm not saying McClung is worth anything, but I do like the spot overall.
GL tonight SN, thanks for the feedback:cheers:
I really like these sports discussions as you actually see reasons for plays and not just the play.
The best play on the board is Santana to beat the A's, and this is coming from an A's fan. Here's the downside, before I get to the upside. Bob Geren manages to win series. I haven't pulled the stats, but I would have to think that Oakland in game 1 of a series is very good, Oakland in game 2 of a series so-so, and Oakland in game 3 of a series (given they won the first 2) a terrible record. He's going to manage to win the series TONIGHT and then fade off tomorrow, although the all-star break could change that.
Now, the upside. Ervin Santana has always given the A's trouble. Dana Eveland is a pitcher who will always have a higher WHIP than some with a lower ERA because of his propensity to nibble, but lately his pitching just hasn't been all there. It isn't the same Eveland that we've seen the whole season. The A's have three very good pitchers to back right now in Duchsherer, Gallagher, and Smith, but you can figure that a bunch of their losses are going to come behind Eveland and Blanton. Anaheim knows the importance of this game as there is a big difference between a 4 game lead and a 5...5 is demoralizing, 4 makes you an outside contender, IMO...
Second favorite play today is Pedro over the Rockies. The funny thing is that a lot of the talk in this thread sounds like how I used to bet...thinking there is no way that the Mets can keep winning with bums coming up big. Well, you know what, baseball is a streaky game and you are better off riding the streaks than constantly waiting for them to turn around. When they turn around, jump off quick. Pedro to my eyes has been improving slightly, and Ubaldo Jiminez is not. I honestly think the only way the Rockies win this game is if Jiminez can come in and throw seven dazzling innings, and if he does, I'll tip my cap...but at -129, I don't see how you can expect Jiminez to do that...
A less talked about one that I like is Nasty Nate Robertson over Scott Baker and the Twins. While Detroit has fallen back a little bit again, they know the importance of ending first half over .500, and that means two wins in two days. DET has better players than Minnesota and has reason to want to win more...it's really that simple. Throw in Minnesota's 12-14 record against LHP and propensity to put a nice record together due to pummeling bad teams at home, and you've got a play.
On plays that I'm less confident in...I like Rasner to get the Yankees a bounceback win against the control artist Litsch, and I like Johnny Danks and the Sox enough on the road to back them as slight chalk against the RH mashing Texas Rangers...
Cubs Win!!!
Arizona philli parlay is lookin damn near cashed... 10-2 bott 4th. :cheers:
Pedro exited early anyone know why ? :cheers:
BC, wouldnt the stat of boston's tendency to not recording 2 over results in a row at home apply here?
just fade seattle....no heart....nobody ever steps up....
