Wed afternoon plays
Cubs/Mets under 8.5o: cold bats on both sides dictate this play, though both bullpens have been solid recently, as well; Rusch is tough at home so I'm confident he'll do fine, but Tapani's recent form scares me a little Boston and Wakefield even over Cleveland: Burba is garbage while... -

Tuesday's thoughts and plays
Going with the following today: Montreal & Armas -120: hot bats, cool opponent, and better pitcher = Expos victory; I also expect Armas to respond off of Florida blasting him last time out Pitt/Cincy under 9u: Ritchie is on fire, while Dessens is solid and consistently decent; last night's... -

Question for Nolan
I see you have the Rangers as a best bet, and I was wondering if I could pick your brain a little as to why. I ask because I respect your writing and opinion. Rogers' recent form is quite bad (12 runs in his last 10 innings), and he has gotten knocked around by the A's this year (12 runs in... -

Pitchers' first starts
I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts on playing or not playing guys' first starts. I ask because of the starters going today for Seattle (Stark) and Oakland (Hiljus). How much credibility to give to minor league numbers? How much weight to the guy's prospects? In other words, a top draft... -

Saturday totals plays
I'm playing the following for Sat: FL/Philly under 9u: Burnett recent form a little off, but 2.4 ERA on the road and his general excellence is positive, and I don't anticipate the Phils hitting him too hard; on the other side, acknowledge that Daal recent form is bad, but quiet Marlin bats... -

Friday plays
Totals: Agree with Nolan's logic on all 3 of his, so I'll be joining him on Fl/Phil over, Mets/Atl over, and Bos/Tor under I also like the Sea/Ana game to go over the 9over, with Schoenweis showing poor current form and Moyer very likely to give up his typical 3-4 runs; neither team's bats... -

7/28 afternoon totals thoughts
Playing 2: Pitt/Milw under 9'u -- completely agree with Nolan's thoughts here; Ritchie and Wright both show ERAs under 2 their last 3 starts; neither team's bats are particularly warm right now, giving me greater confidence with this play Oak/Sea over 8'o - Sele in down turn right now makes... -

Clev/NYY over the total
I like this play for several reasons: 1) NYY has lit up Sabathia this year 2) 4 of Mussina's last 5, and 6 of his last 8, starts have seen him give up at least 3 runs, and history indicates struggles against Cleveland (losing overall record, with an ERA near 5) 3) Anticipate NY bats... -

FL/Mont under?
Though he has struggled lately, I like Vazquez as a pitcher, and I am not particularly enamored of Florida's bats. On the other side, I would expect Burnett to respond with a big effort off of the Braves knocking him around last week, and his sub-2 ERA at home is very appealing. His pitching... -

Saturday plays
I lurk here more than anything, but figured I'd post my Saturday thoughts/plays: Atlanta - like the pitching matchup here; don't see Rusch giving consecutive good outings and I expect a good effort from Glavine Arizona - good doggie; Astacio in poor form; Dbacks good on the road with a... -
