ok ... like one play tomorrow for sure and am still capping some others. Just a small warning about my plays the last few days. Much like sports teams , sports cappers can be streaky at times. I am currently on a negative streak as i have not posted a winning day since last wednesday. Just might want to keep that in mind. Also want to thank Tendog for the nice words that i failed to respond to in my last "time to post" thread.
Astros/Dbacks under 9.5-- Haren has just been a stud for the dbacks at home to start this year. 19 innings , 14 hits , 3 bb , and just 2 er. His WHIP for the year so far is just 1.11. The astros as a team have not hit Haren well. They bat just .258 and even more impressive is that Haren has held them to a an obp of .292. The two major rbi guys for the astros have only seen him a combined 8 AB and have just 2 hits. Astros are hitting just .242 vs righties this year as a team so far and Haren is likely one of the tougher righties they will have faced to date. This is the third travel day of this road brutal road trip for the stros. Fly to cincy for 3 , fly to stlouis for 3 and now fly west for 3 with the dbacks. Tough spot for the astro bats. But the thing is that this is not a good matchup for the dback offense either. Certainly not enough for me to lay a huge price like what Haren is favored by here. Sampson takes the mound for the astros. The expected lineup for the dbacks is just 8/30 off sampson , so they havent seen a lot of him. And a lot of the success they have had has been via chris young and he is just cold at the plate right now. Hard to expect a multi hit game from him right now. The 3-5 hitters are just 1-8 and reynolds and jackson have only gotten a look at sampson one time each prior to this game. Sampson has allowed 3 er or less in 3 of 4 starts and the dbacks have been a better offensive team vs lefties than righties... and to be quite frank , i think this offense has overachieved to date. They bat .258 vs righties so far this season. Dbacks are a huge favorite here , so despite not liking the value in betting them , i have to like the possibilty of this one going just 8.5 innings. Weather will be nice , so a slight edge there for the offenses but atleast there does not rate to be heavy winds out or heavy crosswinds. looks easy enough.
i played this already at under 9.5 -120 so it will appear in my official plays post. still capping other games so perhaps there will be more.
The mlb forum was dreadfully slow today. Hope it picks up again .... i know that i for one have been a bit burned out from capping like a fiend the first month of the year.
