System sides took a beating yesterday, going 2-6. I'm glad I took it easy on the day. Hit that under, easily, at the Rogers Centre so that salvaged my day. Had West Virginia teased to -10, on several tickets, so I consider it a break-even kinda yesterday. Going to take it easy today as I won't get slammed just pre-weekend and I've already got some money tied up on a Brewers push (had Sheets over Dumatrait?too bad that changed?line more expensive vs Shearn boggles my mind beyond belief?might try the Reds as they hit Sheets hard last (recent) meeting and their bats are pretty hot, bullpen has been better, and Shearn gives them a heck of a lot better chance than DumItried; first he's a righty and second he can actually retire batters.

As for system picks, which are a turn off this month (don't think I'd had 22 misses in a month yet, on system picks), I'm looking at the Jays and the Devil Rays for Friday. Devil Rays looked like a good play yesterday, too, for a while. Jays are 16-4 at home to lefties (.800) and Burres wasn't great as a starter and has been shaky out of the pen; toss in Litsch with a 1.84 era in 2 starts vs the O's this year and I think that makes the Jays the strongest side for Friday. Mets are a call, too, as I added 1 point late as I thought that there were too many 66's (3) so I decided to make the one that I thought was strongest a 67?we'll see if I chose right; Indians got a massively hot (massively?) Sabathia going but Bannister always gives his boys a shot; Dodgers facing the much tougher starter (than the Mets). Others with value include the Marlins, Dodgers and Yankees. Nothing that I'm going to hit hard today. Trying the Jays and I'll try the 'Rays, too. Also grabbed a piece of the Mets earlier. Marlins have some value but hard to go against the Rockies at their own place, especially with a very hittable pitcher going; call is a toin-coss, wayany. Dodgers seem kinda cheap; they're playing okay, lately; back at home and in desperate need of wins, facing one of two teams that they would have to catch; Dodgers OPS vs L about 40 points higher than vs R; Dodgers are only 11-11 at home to lefties, mind you. Yanks look the better team, right now, and once again have a very good price tag as has been the case for them recently; they've Diced-K in previous meetings and Matslippin' pretty badly in recent starts.

No totals to pound, today, but I look a little futher at those listed above. Already on the Brewers over 5 but that was vs Dumatrait so my Friday dissappointments come early. Hopefully that's getting them outta the way. Don't need any more.

Need the Jays and Mets, though.
Others pending.
Devil Rays pen
In need of mending.

quick look at team totals

braves ov4.5 -135 (+7)Chico with decent numbers against the Braves but is nothing special in general; Braves 7-day OPS at .723 but their run production has been up (top 6 in MLB over that time); might be a safer play than the moneyline
--have Nats at +1; James has been decent vs but Nats much more productive vs L than R

Mets ov5 +100 (+12)Mets 7-day OPS of .831 and hitting near .300 past 10 vs L; Moyer era near 6 over his past 3 is close to his season average, but all 3 of his meetings with the Mets this season have been low-scoring; this play looks okay; any play on the Mets looks okay to me today
--have Philly at -3; Glavine 2-0, 2.08 era in 4 vs Phillies in '07

pitt un4 -170 (-10)too pricey...moving on...
Hou un4.5 -150 (-8)same
--system call is 55% under the 8 as both starters have good numbers vs but this is a low total for Minute Maid and Oswalt is not as sharp as he was a couple of weeks ago

marlins ov5.5 +125 (+11)Fogg with 1 poor game vs Fish in only '07 meeting and has a 5.55 era at Coors; Marlins 7-day OPS at a nice .885; this one looks okay
Rockies ov5.5 -120 (+8)Willis has good numbers vs the Rockies but no meetings yet in '07; Rockies 7-day OPS .906
--kinda makes the game total over seem a must

giants un3.5 -130 (-16)Young with good numbers vs but who doesn't he have good numbers against?; G-men 7-day OPS a lowly .665; Padres play may be smarter as while Zito has been pretty hot, the Padres do their best work at the plate against lefties and are 12-5 at home to lefties this season (.706)
Padres un4 -120 (-8)Zito with good numbers vs; Padres a .680 OPS at home; Padres 7-day OPS .696; this one might come in, but I might back the Padres so I wouldn't touch this in that case; maybe the game total under would be special

d'backs un3.5 -135 (-13)Penny with good numbers vs; D'Backs 7-day OPS .816; D'Backs OPS on the road .692 and have scored the fewest runs on the road of any team in MLB
--have Dodgers at -4; Dodgers better OPS vs lefties than R but are only 11-11 at home to L; Davis alternating between great starts and crummy ones over the past 5 or so--this would be his great one as he's coming off a stinker
----Dodgers look okay here; pricey but I think I'll try a piece; probably the only way I'll tackle this game as these numbers, and the game total, and a bit low for my liking (then OVER, maybe...nah...Lad over 4 for -130 and I might as well spend a little extra and take the moneyline or a little less and take the runline()):mj03:

yankees ov5 -115 (+12)Dice-K with crummy numbers vs the Yanks; Yanks 7-day OPS .853; looks kinda nice but the moneyline looks smarter
--have Bosox +3; Pettitte has pretty crummy numbers at Fenway this season
----system call is 64% over the 10, just missing the cut for a "system total" (maybe check just before gametime and see if it's C.B.Bucknor or something)

Jays ov5.5 -105 (+13)Burres kinda stinks, he shouldn't last long, and the O's pen just reeks; Jays OPS vs L of .854 is 2nd only to the Brewers; Jays 7-day OPS of .596 might not even include their pathetic performance at the plate Thursday; that last stat will keep me away, and content, sorta:scared , with my (very pricey) moneyline play; Jays are 16-4 at home to L, which is 80% winners, so my 72% call should seem reasonable in that light; facing a below average lefty to boot; just took an exciting one from the Yanks, too, and staying home while the O's travel in after a game Thursday (they @^$# won?!?!:com: )
--have O's at -4; Litsch owns a 1.84 era for his two starts vs the O's this season
----system call is 57% over the 10

royals un3.5 -130 (-14)what's with all the freakin' 3.5's?; Royals 7-day OPS .739 which is decent for them; Sabathia looking dynamite as the playoffs approach and will make a solid #1 go; this game is a bitch, as I won't go against Bannister for the price
--have Clev at -3; Brian chucked a beauty in their only '07 encounter; Indians 7-day at only .744, which is low for them
----system call is 60% under the 8.5 so not a "system total" but one I might try regardless

Mariners un4.5 -125 (-10)Shields with good numbers vs M's but none from '07; M's 7-day OPS .822 which is a large climb over the past week or so; D'Rays bullpen makes this a pass for me; D'Rays bullpen should make all D'Rays plays from now until the end of time a pass...a 3-run lead blown in the 9th, a few days ago, and I had the 'Rays, a 7-1 lead blown Thursday, and I had a piece of the 'Rays...haven't played 'em yet today, and the line is only moving in my favour (people smartly fading the Rays?)
--have d'rays at -1; Felix unimpressively lately and D'Rays 7-day OPS ... whoops ... down at .712; was higher a few days ago; D'Rays are a tough, and often painful, team to play, but I think this pitching matchup favours the D'Rays and their offensive numbers vs R are comparable on the season (D'Rays .753 to M's .751); D'Rays win yesterday and I like the play a lot more, but I still think it's the right play...small:scared
----game total under looks worth a shot, but take it easy and remember the 'Rays pen


That took a while.
Want to do some more NFL tonight.
Also want to 'cap Saturday before I crash--be good to get an idea of how deep I might be going, considering there's a ton of other plays happening. CFL note, for anyone reading to whole she-bang: Blue Bombers on the road to Hamilton look like the best play for this weekend; available at -4, which they should cover, but I've played it safe (as always) and put them on a few moneyline parlays (in the -160 range...looks like a cinch, really), which have actually managed to survive so I'm a BBBacker on Saturday.

A couple NFL plays and it's 'cappin' time.
See you with plays in a while.
Hopefully I'll take it easy.
So far, on:
Mets
Jays
Safeco under


:idea:

just 'capping Saturday now.

OMG I just got a monster figure in one matchup
Rockies to win, Jimenez over Mitre
Looking at a call in the mid 70's, will reduce it a little if Rockies lose tonight (now I'm actually hoping for a Rocks victory as I think that will only strengthen the play).
Rocks -130 today with Willis, crappy year but still a name starter, taking on the mediocre Fogg (decent lately).
Obviously we'll see a bigger line on the Rocks for Saturday but I've noticed that lines vs Mitre, the past while, despite his struggles, haven't been too bad, so maybe he'll command close to the respect that Willis got today. Jimenez has performed better than his numbers indicate so I don't know how they'll grade him here.
Might see as good as a -150 or -160 with any luck.
Hoppy.

like that Yankees series price, at -110

decent shot today
probable tomorrow with Wang vs Beckett (by my numbers)
possible on Sunday with Clemens-Schilling

probably the same value as the moneylines, as all should be close enough to even money for greater enjoyment

I think I'll stick to trying the moneylines as I don't want to tie any money up for 3 days with all of the action this weekend.

Going to keep some of what I've got left to try that Rockies play, the Jays if cheap enough (runline...if they can't win by 2 over the Orioles with Halladay-V.Zambrano then something really wrong is going on here). Might also try the Nats near even money if it's Hill. Giants look real good for Saturday, too (Cain-Tomko). Last but not least I'm anxious to see the line for Kazmir-Ramirez. Please, Hendrix, keep it -140 or less so I can justifiably attack it.

I think I've got all I want for Friday.
Will post in a jiffy.
Just gonna update my NFL post first (action jackson).

Hoping to see an improvement from system picks. Could really use the Mets and Blue Jays to come in today. Will be happy to head into the weekend with any kind of plus.

May it happen.
So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
