Sniffing out wins
Back home after being on the road for ten days with little time to capp. Wednesday 5-29 was one of the worse days in my MLB memory where I lost almost every play and lost 34.55U bringing ytd total down to 307.46YTD. Picked up 3.71U on Thursday 5-30 and 10.52U on Friday 5-31 the last day I posted bases for a YTD total of 317.69. I am back home now hopefully for a couple of months with some time to capp and hopefully will find some winners in the summer baseball doldrums.
win or lose, I played these for Sun June 9
New York Mets -184* <small>vs</small> Miami Marlins x1
New York Mets* -1 -131 vs Miami Marlins x1
Miami Marlins/New York Mets* Under 7½ -110 xHalf ....Niese is 1-1, 2.66 in his last three starts after missing his last start for tendinitis.Miami is 0-5 when Koehler starts (0-4, 4.20).Miami lost 10 of its last 11 road games, but are 7-3 vs NY this season. Mets lost five of their last six games.Because of the extensive use of pitchers, the Marlins will try to get the most of Koehler today and the Mets the same with Niese. I like the mets to bounce back today after losing last nite and losing HArvey to a back injuriy in the 8th.
Texas Rangers* +130 vs Toronto Blue Jays x1 ...While Grim has not been at his best of yet this season,he has posted better numbers than today's opposing starter. Grimm is 5-4 with a 5.13 ERA on the season, while Johnson is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA on the year.And after losing the first two games of this series, there's no question that Texas will be motivated for a win in Game 3 to salvage it.
Cleveland Indians/Detroit Tigers* Over 9 -115 x1 ... Masterson is 1-2, 6.38 in his last three starts. Five of last six Cleveland games went over the total.Alvarez has shined in the minor leagues...but this is the big-league debut on some fairly short notice.
Washington Nationals* -1 -120 vs Minnesota Twins xHalf ... dont like laying the one run with the Nats and not willing to invest heavely on a struggling team. But Washington is 6-0 at home when Zimmerman (5-0, 1.64) starts. Diamond is 1-2, 6.49 in his last five starts.
Los Angeles Angels* +155 vs Boston Red Sox x1 ... The Angels are 6-2 in their last 8 road games vs. a righties. Dempster has struggled all year for Boston, going 3-6 with a 4.39 ERA and 1.335 WHIP in 12 starts. In three starts against the Angels in 2012, Dempster went 0-2 with a monstrous 11.19 ERA and 2.341 WHIP. Blanton has been coming on of late and has posted a 2.95 ERA and 0.797 WHIP in his last three starts, allowing just 7 earned runs and 17 base runners over 21 1/3 innings.
