6/8 MLB Lightning Strikes

[Lightning]

Unfortunately, I was away all day at the Y-100 Feztival in Jersey which is an all day concert event run by an popular alternative Philly radio station to kick off the summer. I had many leans but decided not to play anything, which was a mistake cause it turned out, I would have had one of my better days of late.

FYI ... System of a Down and Incubus rocked!!!

Not sure the reason or the actual facts but I think overs tend to be more prevalent than unders in interleague play. I could be wrong but if I remember right, it seems to be the case.

***ALL PITCHERS LISTED***

NL

Pirates -110 ? 2*

Interleague

Giants +140 ? 4*

Mariners/Cubs over 8 ? 2*

White Sox/Expos under 10 ? 2*

Royals/Cardinals over 8.5 ? 2*

***Orioles +160 ... 4* ... Bought back the O's with my local at the high price and added a unit just cause I have a feeling***

Good Luck!

Nice start so far today ... hope it contiues as the A's are also up 5-0. The Dodgers line has increased to at least -170 if not -180 at many places. I am buying it all back on the Orioles. I am just not comfortable playing that game today. Have a bad feeling on one that looked easy initially. Also, read Nick's post and the more I thought about it ... the more I had to agree. I strongly recommend a no play or buying it back if you have already played the Dodgers. Now, for some more action...

Indians -135 ... 2*

O's/Dodgers over 8.5 ... 2*

Still may add another play on a night game but for now, this is it.

I have also bet 2* on Perfect Drift in the Belmont Stakes which is almost set to go and an 2 horse exacta box on War Emblem, Perfect Drift and Proud Citizen as I see them finishing 1, 2, 3.

Good Luck!

Damn ... my local bumps up the price on favorites and he has the Dodgers at -180 but of course that is using a 20 cent line which still gives me the O's +160. I would still buy it back and maybe put 4* on the O's then if you can't get a better price now.

Forgot this one when I added plays a bit ago...

Rangers/Braves over 10.5 ... 2*

The Belmont totally sucked unless you played the longshot I guess.

Tonight, I love Lewis to knock Tyson out. Tyson stinks. He hasn't beaten a quality opponents in forever and I don't even think he really believes he is mean and ferocious anymore. I expect that somewhere between the 4th and 8th rounds, Tyson will either get knocked out or get frustrated and agitated and do something to get DQ'd.

Anyway, going to put 5* on Lewis at 2-1 odds cause I think it's easy money unless Tyson lands a lucky punch which always could happen but Lewis by far the better fighter.

Good Luck!

I layed 5 units on Lewis like I said I would but the more I think about it ... the more I am worried that this fight could be fixed for Tyson to win in an upset. Here are my reasons:

#1 Most reasonable people including the experts think Lewis will win so I assume much more money will be coming in on Lewis in the end.

#2 If Tyson loses and looks bad, his career is OVER and there are not many marketable fighters these days especially heavyweights.

#3 Therefore, if Tyson loses, there are no big fights that people will pay to see. This fight did not sell well and PPV sales are also far below what promoters, etc... were hoping for. So, for $$$ reason... if Tyson wins impressively or it is at least a decent fight to watch... they hype for a rematch would be huge and likely sell a lot of tickets and PPV.

#4 Although I doubt Lewis would take a fall, he is making I believe about $20 million for this fight and would make at least that for a big time hyped up highly anticipated rematch. He is 37 and could lose this fight and then win the rematch for huge money and retire rich as hell and with the titles and revenge for a 3rd time after losing initially.

I will be watching closely to see if anything looks fishy if Tyson wins. I know Lewis does not have the best jaw, so a good shot could put him away much like his other 2 losses but if that happens, it better be a legitimate looking shot that gets him or I'll be F**KIN' PISSED!

Anywau, I am no expert but this is my rambling opinion.

Lewis won easy just as I thought he would but I surely overthought on that Dodger game. Sometimes it's best not to read a lot of info on here for that reason. Instead of profiting on the Dodgers as a 3 unit play ... I played opposite and lost a unit. Still a good day but just a lesson on how overthinking can also hurt you sometimes. Of course, I'd rather overthink most times than not think at all ...
