BIG MONDAY
- Thread starter RAYMOND
- Start date
Raymond hope you don't mind me posting my thoughts on this game under your thread. I don't like the total but like the Astros allot.
Chicago Cubs (Bere) @ Houston (Reynolds)
Going with the home team Astros to get the win here!
Bere is 8-5 on the year ERA of 3.62 and has been very impressive of late but let's look at his last 3 opponents Colorado, SD and St. Louis teams that are not exactly lighting up the batting stats, he is 2-2 lifetime against Houston ERA of 4.26, he is 0-2 against them since joining the Cubs and is 4-3 on the road ERA of 3.42. Reynolds has been good this year but he is even better against the Cubs with a 6-2 record ERA of 2.86 he has won his last 5 starts against them, his last start at Enron on 7-22 against the Cubs he went 7 innings giving up only 3 hits no earned runs and no walks.
Chicago is 14-17 as a road dog, 62-48 on grass, 28-18 at night, 31-29 on the road and 54-36 vs. righties but are only hitting them as a team with an avg. of .209 in their last 10 games. Houston is 29-25 as a home favorite, 62-49 on grass, 31-27 at home, 50-35 at night, 50-35 at night and 52-40 vs. right handers with a very solid .307 team batting average against them last 10 games.
Now we get to where the Astros have a very big advantage in the bullpens, Houston's has a 0.00 ERA in their last 11 innings pitched while the Cubbies bullpen has been used allot, in their last 12.2 innings they have an ERA of 7.11.
Right now Houston is the hotter team going 6-2 in their last 8 while the Cubs are 3-5, the Astros hitters really hit Bere well with Alou alone having a .429 avg. against him. So give me the hotter team with a pitcher that owns the Cubs and the much hotter hitters.
Play Houston -120

AMEN on the easy one RAYMOND... nice start!
I was SOOOOOO glad they didn't go to YAN in the ninth. HE scares me!
It's so nice to start out a week well... puts you in a much better frame of mind, even on a MONDAY!
ROBERTBIRISH... good stuff on the CUBS/HOU game.... you saved me a lot of homework there!

No problem bud I am glad I can help last week I was posting a play a day but never got any comments so I stopped to bad they went 6-1 +3.9 units to.
Rob B - that's one of the great shames of this site; many very fine cappers put up constantly sound picks and plays and get very little recognition for them and so don't feel like continuing to provide a free service.
That shouldn't be seen in any way as a slight to RAYMOND and fletcher either. They've got their "fan clubs" because people have followed their plays and profited.
There's also a number of real solid cappers like yerself, Tman, MTroyal, pplargo etc who don't get the respect they deserve.
But we're watching and winning

I agree just gets a little discouraging when you work hard and post and doesn't seem like anyone is looking at the picks, I have the utmost respect for all of the cappers here as Ray and Fletcher are some of the very solid guys that comprise one of the most solid foums on the net and put up a whole lot more winners than losers !
i read just about every post here. i read everyone of RobertBIrish's just like i do with Raymond's.
i takes a bit of comfort with a poster to start replying to his/hers posts.
i was looking forward to RobertBIrish posts the past weekend too.
on fact, nobody ever responds to my posts either. and i wish they would just to tell me what a moron i am for my plays!
Raymond, it's been about a week and half, must be getting close to nailing another 8 - 10 game parlay!
great stuff
keep it coming!

I know I look at basically all the posts in all the forums. You just kinda have to expect that most people are going to lurk on your posts until you build some kind of longstanding reputation for posting good analysis and winning. Also, judging by Ray and fletch, apparently it helps if you learn to type like a five year old. LOL

That may be a good thing, prospector. They do tell me what a moron I am for mine.

Yeah, they may laugh RAYMOND, but I bet they SMILE when you reach into your DEEP POCKETS!
ROBERTBIRISH - don't feel slighted, and don't stop posting. Been here for like two years, POST my own thread all the time, end up with like 12 hits, 11 of em MINE! LOL
The other day I was the TOP CAPPER on TIGER's board... figured I'd get hit alot, so tried hard to do good... started 0-3! NO HITS, then won my next eight games.... but don't know if anyone noticed after the 0-3 start. It seems no one is looking, but they are, just lurking. Continue making your own thread, and do what you're doing, post IMPORTANT INFO in RAYMOND's or FLETCHER's post, they usually don't mind, as long as you don't ask FLETCH to explain his UNIT SYSTEM!!
That way, you KNOW everyone is seeing it, and you'll get noticed. MAIN thing I've learned, is WINNING, period. I'd tail on ANYONE's games EVERY DAY if I keep cashing... that's the bottom line!

Well... I have nine years of college. Like to think I'm pretty smart. BUT when it comes to this stuff I feel like I have the menality and IQ of an 8 or 12 year old.
It's guys like you that are teaching me how to handicap. If it wasn't for this site I'd still be just cruising and playing free picks... which by the way I did pretty well at with NO clue as to why it worked.
To me this stuff is about as easy as performing your own appendectomy. When I have tried to figure out games myself I have made pretty much a mess of things.
Just want you to know that I appreciate all the work that everyone does on this site!
I'm in between patients but have to go treat a couple now. I'm on the picks in this thread and will try to contribute in some small way when I can.
For now I got two LOL's to treat (Little Old Ladies) both about eighty years old. I love my job! I make lots of new friends and as my wife says all my "girlfriends" are over 70 years old.
Back to work for me.. it's only 3:30 here in AZ and I've got 2 1/2 hours to go.
Good Luck to all..
