    Lol @ Arod

    Fighting a catcher in full gear isn't very smart :shrug:

    Saturday

    Really busy this weekend -- might be back to cap the late games tonight but not sure. Right now this is all I see: Twinkies +116....Mulholland is showing at he's at least servicable, and we all know what Ponson's story is. Big Contract, let himself go to hell, and now is 4-12 with an era over...

    Friday

    Updated YTD: 84-69-4 +15.67 units I like the chalk tonight: Angels/M's over 8.5 -110....Moyer has been struggling, 0-5 6.91 in his last seven starts, and the Angels hit lefties well (16-12). Lackey's era is over 6 on the road, and is over 4 in his last three. Total is pretty low, which I...

    Thursday

    Updated YTD: 83-69-4 +14.58 units I hate all these days games, I usually prefer to think about it for some of the day then book mid afternoon, but these early starts do not afford me that luxury. One I like: Florida +109....Philly finally broke through and beat the Fish, after getting swept...

    Wednesday -- we're going Under

    YTD: 80-68-4 +11.18 units ChiSox/Tribe under 9 -105 (2 units)....Neither of these teams are great vs left handers (white sox 10-17 and indians 14-19) and they are facing two hot southpaws tonight. Buehrle is 2-1, 2.79 his last four starts, while Lee is 3-0, 2.29 his last three and is 2-0, 3.27...

    Tuesday

    Updated YTD: 78-66-4 +11.13 units Took Monday off wasn't thrilled with the lines. Just setting up for Tuesday's card --- have serious leans to Tampa Bay, Philly, SanFran, and Boston for sides. Will post plays and write ups if/when I pull the trigger. Good luck with your capping.

    Sunday

    Updated YTD: 78-65-4 +13.37 units Picked up almost a full unit yesterday --- which I'll take any day of the week. In this game, slow and steady wins the race. Only one play today on the card -- a lot of tight lines right now on the board in my opinion. Giants -112 (2x).....Hermanson pitched a...

    Saturday

    YTD: 75-63-4 +12.47 units Booked one early --- TampaBay/O's under 9 -111...these bats were cold yesterday, and I look for runs to be rare tonight as well. High total for the fact that both starters have era's in the 3's (Brazelton 3.20, Lopez 3.89) and especially high considering Brazelton's...

    Friday Fun!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YTD: 73-62-4 +11.11 units Giants +108...Team Bonds are 20-8 vs lefties and they pounded Estes last time they faced him this year (7 hits and 5 runs over 5.2 innings). Estes has crashed down to earth after his...

    Hendrickson

    Obviously got pulled from his start today, and cbssportsline has him on the DL just no description of the injury besides "neck." Anyone have any specifics? Is just getting bumped back a day or is he going miss his turn in the rotation, or worse?

    On the Bandwagon

    YTD: 70-60-3 +10.31 units Lots of action on this side but I think it's the right one to be on: Tampa ...Scratch this play --- without Bedard the game and line changed. This is why I always play listed pitchers....I am playing the under instead - see below. Might play some more later --- who...

    All Star Game Starting lineups

    I was just reading the game preview (I'm very board without games to cap today) and couldn't believe the AL's lineup: CF Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle (.321 avg., 3 HRs, 31 RBI) C Ivan Rodriguez, Detroit (.369, 12, 59) RF Guerrero, Anaheim (.345, 20, 77) LF Ramirez, Boston (.344, 26, 77) 3B Alex...

    Strong Finish to the First Half

    YTD: 70-57-3 +13.32 units 2-2 yesterday and won a dollar, but I'll always take that over a losing day. Oaktown +104...I know that Zito has had trouble this year but this is a very nice price for this situation. Zito's record might be poor but his day time era is still only 3.81, while Lee's is...

    Saturday Games

    YTD: 68-55-3 +13.31 units Actually going to play a side today... Tampa Bay +161....Brazelton has been solid since he got upgraded to being a starter again (1.81era), and is starting to show signs of why he was a first round draft pick. Lieber's era is starting to balloon (5.51 last three) and...

    Friday's Card

    Updated YTD: 67-55-3 +12.31 units Well what a roller coaster this first half has been, but this past month has gotten me on track to my goal of a 25 unit profit for the season. I'll be back with plays in a bit -- might trend lightly for the weekend just because 12 units at the All Star break...

    Thursday Early

    Updated YTD: 65-55-3 +10.31 units Took the Wednesday card off, mostly because whenever I have a big win I tend to play too much the next night and give some back -- so I felt it was best to just sit it out and enjoy watching the Mets tonight. Good move too, since most of my leans are losing...

    Email from a friend/soldier

    As a few of you might know I used to swim in the Patriot League -- and became friends with some of the guys at West Point. I got this email from one of the guys I used to race today and thought I would share. Amazing to hear an account of the war from someone in the thick of it. Long read but...

    Marcus Vick is an idiot

    At some point I'd have to think his big brother is going to set him straight --- or he's going to never get a shot to make it big. Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick has been charged with reckless driving and possession of marijuana, state police said...

    Tuesday Total

    YTD: 64-55-3 +7.31 units One play today... Giants/Rockies over 7.5 -105......I know that Schmidt is great, so the total has been driven down --- BUT STARK'S ERA IS OVER 14!!!!! In the three games that Denny Stark has pitched, an average of 16 runs have been scored. Schmidt looked human in...

    Monday Mania

    YTD: 62-53-3 +7.37 units Texas +111....Big thanks to Sharky here, he jogged my memory on this one. I look at this game this way, both pitchers are very good left handers, but their teams are very different. The Tribe bats are poor against the lefties this year (10-15) while the Rangers just...
