College Ball Week #5

[Mr. Poon]

YTD Record: 16-12 for +2.85 units

My plays today, don?t have a ton of time to go into detail but the pitching matchups are my main reasons for taking these. Couple of these were a little more attractive dogs earlier but I didn?t get them in time and 5dimes didn?t have them up early enough. It would be great if thegreek serviced US customers still.

Oregon St. (@ Zona) & Vandy (@ Auburn) 1 unit to win 1.6 units
MS St (vs. LSU) +100 for 1/2 unit
Ole Miss (@ Arky) -125 for 1/2 unit
Kentucky (@ Florida) -120 for 1/2 unit

 

[Mr. Poon]

2-2 yesterday for a plus day as I got the parlay and Ole Miss, but missed Kentucky and MS State. For today I?ll be playing these, will update odds when 5dimes posts them, but will be on these unless there is a big swing:

LSU -150 (@ MS St.) for 1/2 unit
Oregon St. -130 (@ Zona) for 1/2 unit
Arky +120 (vs. Ole Miss) for 1.5 units ? Randall Fant goes for the Hogs today and he has been good in limited innings in his 2 starts as he was injured at the beginning of the season. He will be limited with a pitch count but Arky has one of the best if not the best bullpens in the country so that won?t be an issue. They do need to get their offense going, but like their chances against a streaky Ole Miss starter.

Oregon St. was done at -150, the other 2 were at the prices listed.

3-0 yesterday, for Sunday:

Arky -105 (vs. Ole Miss) for 2 units ? looking for another big gainer from the Hogs. Ryan Stanek was suppose to be one of the better veteran Friday night starters in the nation. However, a slow start and the crafty coach Dave Van Horn has bumped him to the Sunday spot, letting the Friday night ?ace? spot got to a true frosh. No it wasn?t an insult to motivate type move, Van Horn knows Sunday games are typically higher scoring affairs due to weaker pitching and it can allow a guy some leeway while working out his control issues. Stanek has Friday night talent and if he only shows glimpses of it, is a great bet in a Sunday spot.

Miss St. +160 (vs. LSU) for 1/2 unit ? Even though LSU is a top 5 team I thought it would be a toss up who would win this series, with the Friday and Sunday matchups the ones that favored the Bulldogs. The Miss St. starter Graveman isn?t flashy but he gets the job done and should do so today.

 

[Mr. Poon]

1-1 today as Arkansas loses in extra innings, with the winning runs coming on a couple of errors, they had 5 overall on the day.

Updated Record: 22-15 for +5.35 units
