thoughts on upcoming series:

NY Yankees at Boston

St. Louis at Chi Cubs
J Marquis at C Marmol
Fawk the cards...staying away from them.

Oakland at Kansas City
J Blanton at L Hudson 130 10.0

S Marcum at K Benson 100 10.0

7:05 PM Washington at Philadelphia
T Armas Jr at B Myers -175 10.0
Philly, but think the line is too high.

7:10 PM Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
I Snell at C Michalak -145 10.0
this is a classic game where LOS PIRATEZ will get up to play and whoop cinci's ass. staying away.

7:10 PM Colorado at NY Mets
B Kim at S Trachsel -135 9.0
Mets are too far ahead in 1st place...they seem to have it on snooze control at this point...

7:15 PM Cleveland at Tampa Bay
C Sabathia at C Fossum 155 9.0
TB playing competative at home but have not much to show for it....may look at the +1.5 for TB since clev sucks ass on the road no matter who they play...

7:35 PM Atlanta at Florida
T Hudson at S Olsen -120 9.0
Two teams i can't for the life of me figure out this season...staying away.

8:05 PM Houston at Milwaukee
B Backe at T Ohka -120 9.0
Will these two teams really show up down the stretch? none of them can get any momentum.

Agree on St Louis, they are a fade

1) no brainer:

G1 Oakland Athletics -146 ( 2 units)

oaktown is 17 - 3 last 20 and 18-2 last 20 on the road vs KC....

again, i could throw out all the stats i wanted to and you could make a case for both teams....even if you said, yeah, but i still think KC would sweep oaktown
in the double header, i'd have to agree with ya, because that's the kind of season it's been for alot of us....i don't see too many people doing well in the forum this season in mlb....

logic says to play Oaktown, and that's all I can say.

thanks surfer...been a weird season in MLB to say the least....the NL is looking putrid.....and it seems that when a team goes on a hot streak ,they then go on a losing streak to null it....???

The Dodgers are looking to be the hottest team in the NL, while the chi-sox seem to have come back to life and the twins are tripping up....the Yanks look to be hot right now..and Detroit is really making me notice them.....but i wanna see how the doubleheader goes today to see where this series is going...still plenty of time to break my magical mark of +40.00 units that i always aim for every season...

2) Cleveland Indians -164 ( 1/2 unit)
this guy from another site is 54-15-0 when betting on TB sides this season....he seems to hit when he bets on the fave, and this is his play today....
gl to us all.

3) Detroit Tigers -106 ( 1/2 unit)
until the tigers can beat the chi-sox, i'll stay away from those inter-div match-ups.....ouside of their division, on the other hand....i'll take em.
