Made money on sides, totals and IF plays (push at #7 and push at #4) Thursday.
Good stuff. Thursday's haven't been my best.
Smokin!...Smokin!...Cookin' tonight just keep on tokin'!
Friday's, on the other hand, I've owned lately?

Eight of the sixteen sides are 55% or less today, so I likely take it easy there.
Pirates are the only system pick until they open the Bosox lines. Albers is major fade material, right now, while Snell has been pretty good; Pirates 7-day OPS over .900 while Astros 7-day OPS is under .700?'nuff said?Pirates look real good, here. Even at a -200 the Sox will get the system call in game #1 and I'll likely try the runline at -120 or better. Second game will be tougher, though not due to Danks but to Schilling; I might try that second game at up to -140, but it would only be a system pick at -130 or better.

The only other side with any real value (save the doggies?Marlins, Nationals and Royals) appears to be the Padres. Maddux is super-sharp, right now, while Moyer was hit real hard in his last; Phillies 7-day OPS at the usual high (.824) but Padres 7-day number is also right up there (for a change; .802); add in the fact that the Padres OPS vs L is about 80 points higher than they are vs R and I think that the visitors have a good chance to open this series up with a victory. Line isn't terribly attractive, mind you, with the Phillies 25-18 at home vs righties (.581...actually less than I figured) (Padres 10-11 on the road to L (.476)).

All over calls yesterday but there's 1-4 on my list today. Minute Maid over looks okay with Albers starting, and the 'Stros middle relief pretty much garbage (same with the Pirates), but Snell may keep the Astrosticks tame as they've been for weeks now, anyway; I like the Pirates so will likely pass on that one. I'm on that Coors total as the Rockies are in a bit of a funk at the plate (7-day OPS down to .714 after being near .900 a few days back), Hill looks sensational, and Francis should do his part to help, too; Nats OPS about 60 points higher vs L than R, and their 7-day figure is respectable (.777) so they have a real chance to take this one, behind a strong game from Hill. Back tototals?that Comerica game I'm trying under, as well, as the Tigers 7-day OPS is a mere .705 and the Yanks OPS is about 100 points lower vs L than vs R; just need Miller to have something, here, to bag this one; 10 is a high figure for Comerica. Just added that Tampa Bay game under to my repetoire (sic?); D'Rays high numbers vs lefties concerns me a little, but their 7-day OPS is a measley .547 and DiNardo may have regained his solid early-season form, judging by his last (very nice) effort; Shields looks pretty good lately, too, but he hasn't been going deep, lately, and the D'Rays crappy pen could mess this one up; ump Bell helps, though he's actually 12-12 on totals this season; A's 7-day OPS of .800 another concern, here. Jays game under was a thought until I saw who's umping so I think I'll pass; Weaver has been nothing spectacular lately and Halladay is coming off of a 125-pitch effort so I don't know if he'll go more than, maybe, 7 here; still might be worth a shot as Jays OPS vs R is down at around .720 while their 7-day OPS is at .657; Angels 7-day at .780 and they're certainly capable of putting up big numbers at home.

After 7 am. Guess this is ready to roll.

Will post what's played. Today I'll just wade.

quick look at team totals
(you know the drill)

padres ov5 -105 (+9)a high number for the Padsticks

pitt ov4.5 -115 (+12)Albers sucks and Pitt's 7-day OPS over .900...in a hitter's park...doesn't come much better than this
--have Astros -5

min un4.5 -150 (-8)too expensive for a team that either scores 2 or 7
Balt un3 +105 (-16)interesting...O's 7-day OPS a poor .667 and Santana was untouchable in his last...Twins bullpen rocks, too...think I'll try some

a's un4.5 -125 (-7)not for a team this hot at the plate
Tb un4.5 -105 (-7)not for a team with an OPS over .800 vs lefties
--don't like the TT's but I'm on the GT(U)

(1)bost ov5 -120 (+11)Bosox 7-day OPS .777 but they seem in a funk scoring-wise; Garland quite cold which should help; HOPPY on the moneyline, so a big pass here...seems likely, though
(1)Cws un4 -140 (-12)think I'll just enjoy my moneyline, which wasn't much more expensive

Angels un4 -115 (-10)Halos had trouble with Listch so I don't know if they'll enjoy this experience; Jays pen has been solid, the majority of the time; Angels also a team that scores either 2 or 7, it seems; Angels 7-day at .780
--have Jays at -6

(2)bosox ov5.5 +100 (+13)a bit higher here in game #2 as Danks is rated lower than Garland AND Bosox hitting a touch better vs lefties; just wonder if they'll be tired, here, but last game #2 doubleheader saw 16 runs scored in it, so maybe the tired question is just fantasy; moneyline is kinda high, so maybe this would be okay; I got the Sox in #1 so I might pass altogether here
--have Chisox -3


That's a wrap.
I'm in for the Pirates and Padres and Bosox (oh my!)
Also nabbed some unders.
Will post soon just thinking about some tomfoolery.

This is as much action as I want for today's weary board; not enough solid calls to warrant any IF mayhem. I really like the Pirates and Bosox, in game #1, so I've made them my bread-winners today. Everything else is gravy. I might do something else if the Red Sox score me a victory in game #1.


IF

I am Freakin' HOT

so a 2-0 on system picks seems reasonable

(posted system totals)

a bitch to line up so that will have to do.
the left column ("full") is through July so a full total is the left column and the right column (August).

System sides are 188-126 in August for 59.87% winners.
Pretty good for all games.
Notice 51 & 52% are smoking?
51 at 19-10 for the month (65.5%)
52 at 17-6 for the month (73.9%)
I can, again, only attribute that to me picking the right sides when I get 50% calls (which I'm not allowing); I wish low 60's were doing so well.
High 50's are doing fine but low 60's are a bit low, save that "60" stat (12-4).
65+ for August are at 42-13 (76.36%).
I can live with that, for sure.
Got a 72 that falls there today, which I really need.
72's are 1-0 in August and 12-5 for the season (70.59%).
Stat is just short of quota.
Gimme the one today and it's 13-5 for 72.2%.
Bang-On!


:00hour
Go Red Sox !!!

May your glory be continuous.

SUCCESS!!!

:00hour

72% calls are now 13-5 for 2007 which is 72.2%

:00hour

Got the easy one outta the way.
Now it's on to the Pirates.

Not tons of value on Saturday's card but I'm gonna have lots of opinions regardless.

See you with the numbers sometime between 9 pm and 11 pm, most likely.
Gonna be lots of totals in play, again, too.

Grab that Tampa total under 8.5 before it shifts to an 8 (ump Diaz only helps matters, there).
I also like the Coors total under 10 with the Super-Hot Redding starting against the hot youngster Jimenez.
Hoping for a good ump but didn't wait on that one.
Got a bunch of sides, too...the usual thing...
system picks may be few but not my plays.

I LOVE IT!

:weed:
:SIB

P.S.
I likely add the Jays as a play if the Pirates get up early; I'm feeling lucky so I think that my team (Blue Jays) might win tonight; it's a late game so I got time...line hasn't budged...will be a major TV play, for me, so 'taling that one might not be smart.

However...I did mention that 51's (ie Jays) are 19-10 in August, didn't I? That's 65.5% winners.
For 2007 51's are 83-59 for 58.4% winners.

Jays look better tomorrow.
Facing a lefty.
Marcum 1 solid vs Angels this season.
