Hey Flopoholic, I hope to get the system rolling more consistently pretty soon. Might help me out of my early funk. Still, last year May was my only losing month so I might just stick with some common sense for a while. Besides, got a few distractions in my life chewing up some beloved free time. Takes about an hour, maybe an hour-and-a-half, to do a 15-game slate and my patience has been tried, again, by other matters. Short answer is "yes," I sure expect so. Thanks for asking. Bear with my recent losers as they should die down some. At least I usually try to justify my madness, as it has been.

D'Backs -140 1.68/1.2
Sure! I'll take a shot with this hard-chucking first-rounder Scherzer, especially the way he dominated the Astros for 4.1 innings, retiring all 13 batters faced while striking out 7 of them. Had phenomenal numbers on the farm, as well (1.17 era through 23 innings, walking 3 and striking out 38!). Crap, I wish that I could see the game as I love to watch dominating pitching and this guy could be a real keeper--what would that do for the D'Backs chances for a crown? They are super-hot so far, at home and totally smoking lefties. Speaking of Moyer, somehow he's played under in 4 of 6 starts including 3 straight (hmmm...under 10?) but opponents ARE hitting .336 against him this season. Phillies have the sticks but prefer it at home and, obviously, have never seen this kid before. Don't know what the kid's attitude is in the clubhouse and all, but my guess is that the 'Zona boys will do all they can to make his first start a winner. Looks good. Not cheap but the D'Backs at home shouldn't be this year. 'Nuff said.
Tempted by Cueto but let's see a turnaround first.
Jimenez, also, but Rox are not sharp this year, nor is Ubaldo.
Bosox I still might try--dunno--Ortiz might be out and the Tigers can put up big numbers; Dice-K looks very sharp this year while Bonderman, as last year, looks average at best.
Jays are tempting now that they're winning again. Not fully sold on McGowan, Vazquez has been pretty solid and I'm taking it easy on betting on my team right now--cheering for them but wary of my temptations. Besides, Contreras shut them down most of the game and I'd say that Vazquez is the better hurler right now. Still, seems like a fair price.
Angels should win but Santana much better at home and too pricey here.
Texas-M's sounds like an over.
Might stick with the one.
Very curious to see what Scherzer can do here.
Geez...excellent overtime in Dallas going on. Tune in for some exciting pucks. Lots of chances but stellar goaltending happening.
