College Ball Week #8

[Mr. Poon]

YTD Record: 19-24 for -3.12 Units

For Thursday:

Florida -2.5 +100 (vs. LSU) for 1 unit ? Brian Johnson slides into the leadoff starting pitcher spot for the Gators. Hudson Randall was not crisp last week and looks like they are giving him a couple extra days rest as he will pitch on Saturday. Johnson had a very bad outing vs. Miami a month ago but has put some strong outings since including the last 2 weeks vs. solid teams in S. Carolina and Ole Miss. As Cie noted previously, LSU is going with Sophmore Kurt McCune who hasn?t been as good as he was last year. He isn?t the power pitcher Gausman or even Eades are, who I think stand a far better shot against this potent Gator lineup. Also his control hasn?t been good this year as he has had 10 walks in just 22.2 innings. Big run line but the #1 Gators are more than capable in this spot.

UCLA -2.5 +120 (vs. Oregon) for 1 unit ? another big run line but similar to the play above. Road team coming off of an emotional home sweep the weekend before, but will be facing a far superior team this weekend. Oregon actually has a fair shot to win this series, but it?s because their #2 and #3 starting pitchers don?t really drop off after their #1 like UCLA?s does. UCLA is going with Adam Plutko who has done a great job in the #1 role. He had a bad outing vs. Baylor early

 

[Mr. Poon]

Ill put it in your new thread but I jumped on the following Ariz St -130, Oregon +2.5 -140, and florida -2.5 +100...5 dimes back on the $100 limit today

Do you know if Wetzler is throwing for Oregon State? I thought that line for ASU was crazy as Rodgers is throwing for them. I can't find info on the Beavers starter though. ASU has been run up to -380 already.

still showing Oregon St starter TBA...i can tell u the line opened at ariz st +100, i got on for a $100 a piece at -130, -170, and 210...just layed off some on oregon st +260 for $100 and may play oreg st again if another line move happens...pretty much giving me a $100 if Ariz St wins and nothing if Oregon St wins

 

[jbly99]

im also on florida -2.5 +100...im buting heads with you on oregon today...ive got oregon +2.5 -140...just thinK Kedeull is too good to give 2.5 runs to. Im with you on your angle though..i could see Oregon having a let down game/series being on the road after the big sweep of ASU last wknd and i like Plutko a lot!

 

[Mr. Poon]

If Oklahoma comes down a little more I'll play them as Jordan John is coming off a great full game in his last outing. Would be great if OU could get the win and help lower the price for A&M tomorrow as big pitching advantage for them in that one w/ Stripling in my opinion.

Where are you located at? Get out to any games?

 

[Mr. Poon]

I definitely know it is a risk playing a big run line against a quality guy like Kedeull. He has had a couple of head scratcher games where he gave up a handful to a pedestrian Long Beach club and got jumped on by a decent UW team.

Smart move on your OSU/ASU plays to hedge and leave yourself in a positive position.

 

[jbly99]

Im with you on OU...i may be jumping on them as well...3.5 is a lot of runs to lay even with Wacha Wacha Wacha on the mound. What your saying about Johnson is the same reason i like Kedeull...his last outing he pitched a complete game shut out outdueling rodgers.

 

[jbly99]

Im in SC...just got into college baseball over the last 5 years...and have really been into it the last 3...I make it to Cola from time to time and to Chapel Hill as well. Actually caught the whole UNC/UVA series last year. Lots of good college baseball in this part of the country!

 

[Mr. Poon]

Sooners now at +3.5 -180, should have taken a stab earlier, oh well.

Definitely jealous of where you are located. Not many good games worth going to near me. Caught Nebraska/Northwestern last weekend up here. Last year GaTech actually came up to Illinois-Chicago (which typically is a decent Horizon club) and I caught a couple of those games.

 

[jbly99]

I was able to get Oklahoma -140 +3.5... a lot of action for me on thursday. GT had a nice staff last year...Farmer is still there and he's coming off an outstanding duel against Strouman for Duke(if you havent heard of Strouman check out his #s..not sure how he ended up at Duke but he is filthy!) last wknd...hoping to get some good value on Farmer against FSU tomorrow. His season #s dont look great bc he blew up against BC a few weeks ago and gave up 12 runs!

 

[Mr. Poon]

adding:

Oklahoma +3.5 (-150) for 1/2 unit

Watching the game with my boys, so dropped a couple of bucks on LSU. GL with your plays:toast:

Lsu got hosed. Fla was allowed a run that should not have counted. On the inning ending double play, the runner at 3rd tagged up. He was over 3' from home when the runner was doubled up at 2nd. No joke. 3-Great job by ESPN to show it.

Sorry to clutter your thread, but I needed to vent cuz the home plate ump is an ass...

I thought I'd seen it all... Poor kid. Big win for lsu. Gausman tomorrow to win this series.

 

[Mr. Poon]

as Peterson pointed out on the telecast, Florida just was off and has been recently. Still hard to believe that missed tag play by the runner at 3rd. But LSU deserved to win. They played a great game.

1-2 night only getting the Oklahoma play as they lost by 1 in 12 innings.

 

[THE KOD]

the pc poon

what a joke

you actually .........are chevy chase

 

[jbly99]

3-1 last nite..thanks to Mr poon getting me to give oklahoma a look...today on ole miss +100...gt -105/-140...UNC -140

 

[jbly99]

Luckily Ariz st line never moved again so I had 250 to win 200

 

[jbly99]

Florida just seemed like their head was not in the game last night...REALLy wanted to play gausman tonight but line is to high as it stands niw...how about my boy keudell for Oregon...back to Back fantastic performances against two strong offensive clubs
