That's what I'm talkin' about! Hit my 4 biggest plays so I'm a happy camper. Went 4-2 on the moneyline, 0-1 on the runline, 2-1 on totals and the rest was a lot of poor IF plays with a couple of winners tossed in. System sides only went 8-8 on the day (4-2 on the really high calls) so I'm lucky to survive in such great shape, I figure. Last Saturday was a minor bump in the road for what was an otherwise outstanding weekend for me; hoping to do the two-step on these numbers straight on through this time?

Giants, Astros, Yankees, Indians and Mariners are system picks if you can find these posted lines. Actually the M's will be a system pick at anything up to -200, really?that one looks very safe (though the M's offense kinda went to sleep in the later innings yesterday). Giants were a system pick at the line I grabbed, so I'm leaving it as is?anything -115 or higher (which it is currently) is not a system pick, but Who Really Cares?...still appears to be value on the Giants Saturday no matter what?it's a night game so the Big Guy should be playin'. Indians I hopped on real early but are a system pick right up to -160. Yanks runline is a go today, too. Astros look worth a shot at current lines (-120ish).

The totals should be self-explanatory, if you've been following what I'm doing here (or even if not).
Some I'll try and others I'll pass on.

Plays should be up (relatively) early for me this go round; I pulled another all-dayer and I'm pretty bushed. Breakdowns of the games are unlikely for me today?will try to do team totals and then might leave it at that. I should just stick with what I've already got?maybe try a couple more seeing as I'm playing with house money.

Rock n' Roll Baby!!!
Will post what's played.

some possible team totals
(w/relative system number; + for overs, etc.)

reds ov5 +120 (+11)
Mil ov5.5 +120 (+11)

sf ov4.5 -120 (+10)Vanden Hurk is trash

Sd un3.5 -115 (-17)Oswalt is hot, Hot, HOT

Nyy ov6 -105 (+16)Durbin shouldn't be a big challenge

clev ov5.5 -115 (+15)haven't had the hitting shoes on much, lately, but should have a good time here vs Hammel (& pen)
Tb un5 -130 (-7)Westbrook pretty solid lately and does good work vs D'Rays
--ump Hallion is even

kc un4.5 -130 (-10)Gaudin pitched a beauty vs Royals earlier in season; risky the way the Royals lit things up Friday...A's pen not strong

chisox un4.5 -140 (-12)really slumping at the plate (save for one inning yesterday; Weaver brilliant in his last and M's pen usually sharper then it was Friday
M's ov5 -110 (+14)made it to 5 and then stopped, yesterday, but have a good chance to topple that figure today as they've beaten on Danks in both appearances this season; M's OPS vs L near .800 and, better than that, they're 14-2 at home to lefties (87.5% Winners!)


That's the bigguns.
Gonna have a puff, get some fresh air, and think about closing the deal on my plays for Saturday; Indians and M's will be key for me.

Danks wasn't that bad in the game he pitched in Seattle, actually.
The 2nd game, later, at home, is where he was thrashed.

I'd still take Weaver over Danks right now or maybe ever and M's OPS vs L is almost 100 points higher than Chisox OPS vs R.

That 14-2 at home to lefties can't be ignored, either.

M's pen has been crap (7.71 era) the past 3 days according to grovers.corn.
While Chisox pen (1.83 era) has been great.
Not appealing.
Putz, also, maybe not available.
Their pen is still WAY better than the Chisox pen anyday...
...pens may not factor in if Weaver excels and the M's get to the lefty they've seen twice this year already (and did much better the second time)

I'm totally sold on this play.
Want to put even more on it, but I'm in pretty good already.

Indians play looks almost as good but they're away from the friendly confines.
This same matchup would be near 80%, right now, if it were being played at Jacob's.
D'Rays, like years previous, have a pretty big differential home-away (right now 8 games under .500 at home and 21 games under .500 on the road).
Indians, this year more than ever, have a large home-away differential, too (right now 12 games over .500 at home and 1 game (soon to be 2) over .500 on the road.
13 game differential for the D'Rays.
11 game differential for the Indians.
(kinda cool because with my numbers I've been giving more to D'Rays than Indians--going by last year's (mostly) numbers)
--a couple of days ago they reported on TV that the Jays just tied the (current) record for largest home-away differential in MLB (it was 13 over and 13 under for 26 games)...I think it was the Angels that they tied, but I could be wrong (can't be bothered checking, right now)
--Angels differential is a fair bit higher than last year while the Jays is similar (maybe a touch higher)

Enough about baseball...
...how are the kids doing?

I've set things up so that if the Yankees win then both the Indians play and the Mariners play will be 10-unit games for me. Seems fitting as they look the strongest, of the affordable moneylines at least. Astros and/or Giants would be nice, too, and at least a split on my totals would be good. Mostly it's the 2 playoff contenders that I need today, facing poor teams that are fading more. Enough of my rambling?I've argued for these plays as best as I can for the condition that I'm in. If the numbers are accurate then there is just less than an 8% chance that I miss both big plays, and almost a 52% chance that I hit both.
I like my chances.
