Well, after questioning whether or not to play today, I have come up with 9 selections for today. This is a clue as to why I refer to this as 'madness'.
3* Pitt +08
2* Mil +15
2* Cub/Det U 9 E
2* Phi/Bal O 9- -05
2* Pit/CWS U 9
2* Mon -07
1* Cin +50
1* Cle -40
And for the night cap, final subway series game this year...........................
2* Yankees -20
I know this pick is contrary to what most seem to be going with. Reed is best Mets got, Kiesler has been getting hit well. Tide in Mets favor after last night....... I see it differently. I see the much better team at a small price playing in front of a national audience who saw them lose a game that should have been theirs 3 weeks ago. Mets do not hit lefty's that well and have never seen Kiesler. Yanks can hit Reed, so long as they are patient. I don't see Torre letting Kiesler get banged up for a 7 run inning, he will pull him unlike Valentine who left Trachsel in other day. Torre wants this game bad. Yanks want this game bad. I will back them both in making a statement to the public tonight.
Of course, if my day picks get clobbered, you should probably bet your roll on the Mets tonight....
Good luck and careful treading today!
