[Blackman]

YTD: 35-26-2 +8.43 units


Lines are tight tonight boys - at least in my opinion. Gave every game the intial cap and will run through them again. Have a lean to Houston but am not completely sure if I want to lay that kind of road chalk. Will be back with any plays later.

Blackman....I hear ya buddy.....all the games I liked today were sporting some real unfavourable lines. I ending up laying more chalk than I would have liked in a couple of cases, and I sure hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the azz.....:nono:
Good Luck if you pull the trigger on anything,
Sharky

Sharky --- I agree it's a real chalk kinda day. Hopefully we don't end up eating it.


Marlins -134....Dbacks' are so streaky on offense they are tough to figure out but their struggles vs lefties is pretty consistent. Daigle has had two bad outings in a row and the Marlins bats woke up a bit last night. Looking for Florida to continue with the momentum and win.

Angels -136....Orioles' have also struggled vs southpaws and their offense was nonexistent last night vs Moyer. Washburn has benefited from great run support but his last outing (vs Balt) he was lights out, by far his best start of the year. Vlad seems to like Dubose in his limited experience with him (3-3 with a HR last game). Injuries or not, we're getting a team with one of the best records in baseball at home with a starter who is 7-1 on the hill tonight. Doesn't hurt that teams are something like 10-3 in their first game after a series with the Yanks. Don't know if this is one of those coincidence trends or what but the numbers are in our favor regardless.

C'mon Blackman..........If Todd Van Poppel takes me down, I'd really like someone to come with me.

 

[Blackman]

Gotta pass -- just have a funny feeling about this one and when I don't pay attention to that it usually bites me back (but when I don't play them they usually win so it's a catch 22). Call it my capping "sixth sense" LOL.


Best of luck trust me I'll be rooting for Houston and the Jays tonight.

 

[boilermaker]

GL BM . I like the Angela play.

 

[cooz3]

best of luck

cooz

 

[sharky17]

Blackman.....The next time you get one of these "sixth sense" things going on, maybe you could let me know a little earlier? :shrug: LOL. Good choice staying away from the Astros. I got dinked by Todd Van Poppel. Todd Van Poppel. :nono:

I'm rooting for your Marlin play, and I went back to the store and bought some Jarrod Washburn as well, but it looks like he is having his troubles tonight. Good Luck.

 

[Blackman]

Sharky I'll be sure to clue you next time my crystal ball tells me to stay away LOL.


Marlins just pulled one out of their butts maybe the Angel offense will wake up it is still early.
