5/22 MLB Lightning Recap
MLB: 5-2-1 (+6.20)
Faves: 3-1 (+4.20)
Dogs: 1-0 (+2.20)
Overs: 1-0 (+2.00)
Unders: 0-1-1 (-2.20)
Parlays: 0-0 (0.00)

Y-T-D MLB Lightning Recap
MLB: 196-156-5 (+75.20 units)
Faves: 87-69 (-2.25 units)
Dogs: 36-46 (+5.95 units)
Overs: 15-9 (+13.00 units)

Parlays: 6-7 (+10.20 units)

Going to start with:
Reds -150 ... 2* ... I am still shocked at the success Jose Rijo has had since returning but I have gone against him enough and lost so I guess I should start to believe he can still pitch a little bit.

Dodgers -125 ... 2*

Back later with more of today's selections?

***ALL PITCHERS LISTED***

NL
Reds -160 ... 2* ... I am still shocked at the success Jose Rijo has had since returning but I have gone against him enough and lost so I guess I should start to believe he can still pitch a little bit.

Dodgers -125 ... 2* ? Ishii is pitching solid every time out and the Dodgers are the better team.

Brewers/Dodgers under 7.5 ? 2* ? Ishii has not had a really bad start this year and I doubt he starts today while Rusch hasn?t been as consistent, he has been pretty decent and the Dodgers are not lighting the world on fire with their hitting.

Cardinals ?150 ? 2* ? I really like Matt Morris and the Cards seem to be getting it together.

Cardinals/Astros under 8 ? 2* ? Morris is a stud and Reynolds is pitching pretty decent as well.

Cubs/Pirates under 14 ? 2* ? Winds are blowing out to center field which is the only reason the line is this high. I?ll still take a shot at the under on a cloudy, rainy day and hope the winds switch around a bit by game time.

Rockies ?140 ? 2* ? Thomson is a very good young pitcher and he seems not to fear pitching at Coors. Tomko is a fly ball pitcher which usually spells trouble in Colorado.

AL
A?s/Orioles over 9.5 ? 2* ? Was originally leaning to the A?s but Mulder is not pitching well and they are not playing well so I?ll take a shot at the over here instead.

Parlay
Mariners-260/Red Sox-183 ? 2* for 2.30*

Be careful jumping on the Mariners ?240/-260 here straight up as everyone seems to be taking them assuming they cannot be swept by the lowly D?Rays but anything is possible which is why I am playing it with Pedro and the Sox instead.

Good Luck!

Ugly Start

Ugly Start

Looking like a very ugly start to the day ... one thing I will say is although I prefer playing unders to overs, during the day, overs seem to hit much more often than at night. Not sure what the reason is but historically, that seems to be the case. Need a big comeback by the Reds in the 9th which is unlikely and just hoping the Cards game at least stays under if they don't make a comeback and win. At least the Shawn Green and Dodgers came to play so I should get one win. I wish I had read bookbounds comments about Morris having a stomach flu before I played that one and by the time I did, it was too late to buy it back unfortunately. Anyway, just rambling cause I am bored at the moment. Won't be adding anything for tonight cause I'll be playing sand volleyball after 5pm. Let's hope the day turns around.

How do I add some mojo in here? I have pics but I have no idea how to display them.

Lightening: After you hit reply, to the right of "vB Code" are a bunch of buttons to click on, one of which is "IMG", click that and a little window will pop up asking you for the address of the pic you're posting. Then hit enter and submit your reply and........VOILA!!

But there're rules in this forum like no exposed genitalia, no nipples. I guess see through clothes are ok like wet T-shirt type of deal, I'm not sure though.

Good luck today!!

thanks dubs ... what if I have the image (picture) stored on my computer? ... It's asking for a hyperlink but since it's on my pc and not a web page, I still can't figure out how to get it to work.

Overs: 16-9 (+15.00 units)
Unders: 52-28-5 (+40.70 units)
Parlays: 7-7 (+12.50 units)

Somehow managed a slightly plus day after a horrendous start. Two days in a row that a higher fav seemed to get a lot of action from many of us on here and went down with the M's yesterday and the Reds today. My under plays are slumping at the moment but I've hit a few parlays in a row to keep me on the good side. Hopefully, we get a nice card for the weekend so I can get up over the 80-85 unit mark by Monday.

Back tomorrow with Friday's selections?
