Not thrilled with tonight's card .. have alot of leans but finding it difficult to pull the trigger .. I am probably due for a pin in the balloon, anyway! Going to go with the Jays and Ricky Romero .. I played them at - 130, but when I went back to add a couple of parlays, they had already dropped to - 120, so be careful on this one! A'S returning home after a loooooong 9 game road trip .. like going against in their first home game before they get settled back in, and the Jays making the short trip from SoCal to NoCal after losing a couple ... maybe good spot, we'll see. RICKY ROMERO (4-0; 3.64) is off to a good start TY, as opponents are hitting just .195 against him. He has pitched 8 full innings three times already TY. He is (4-0) vs the A'S w/ 1.49 ERA in five starts against Oakland. Most recently w/ a 3-hit complete game shutout @ Oakland in August. His opponent Brian McCarthy (2-3; 2.96) has been pitching well and faced the Jays LY once, allowing 5 runs on 8 hits in 8 IP. Hope Ricky can continue his fine work vs the A'S.
Also, used Miami and Sanchez in a parlay .. they are playing well on the road and look to win their 8th consecutive game .. they are (7-0) on this road trip and (7-1) in their L8 vs the 'Stros. SANCHEZ (2-0; 2.43) off to a strong start TY & has not allowed more than 2 runs in any of his five starts & is (3-1) w/ 2.48 ERA in six starts vs Houston.
Also, used LAD w/ KERSHAW and DET w/ VERLANDER, plus a couple of totals which usually find a way to backfire on me. Went with the OV between TX & O'S .. Feliz & Arrieta both have inflated #'s vs the opposing teams & HP UMP EMMEL is off to a (5-0) in OVERS TY / wind blowing out to left 12 mph .. also, used the OV @ Cleveland.
Didn't RISK anymore than I won yesterday in case the due factor finds me .. and it will; just hope not today!

To many serious racing fans, however, the most dramatic part of the Derby was the performance of the loser, Bodemeister. His front-running effort was like few in the history of the race.
Bodemeister, a slight favorite in the Derby, is a fast colt who was facing two very fast rivals: Hansen, the reigning champion of this generation of 3-year-olds; and Trinniberg, a sprinter who was certain to display his high speed and then run out of gas. Most people expected Bodemeister?s jockey, Mike Smith, to sit behind Trinniberg. But when the gate opened, Bodemeister broke more sharply than any of his rivals.
?He was flying leaving there,? Smith said. ?He was two (lengths) in front leaving the gate.? Smith and trainer Bob Baffert had talked before the race about such a scenario, and Baffert had no reservations about letting his colt go to the front.
Trinniberg showed his natural high speed, but jockey Willie Martinez wasn?t sending him on a suicide mission. So Smith was committed to try to lead the Derby from start to finish. Over the very fast Churchill Downs surface, Bodemeister sped the first quarter mile in 22.32 seconds, a half mile in :45.39, and three quarters of a mile in 1:09.80. NBC?s commentators noted that this was the fifth-fastest pace in the race?s history, but even that fact does not begin to suggest the difficulty of what Bodemeister was trying to do.
In the Derby?s 137 previous runnings, a total of 10 horses had sped the first half mile in 45.4 seconds or less. There were some legitimate contenders among them, but all 10 of them virtually collapsed after this exertion. All finished in 10th place or worse. Yet Bodemeister kept on going.
Some second-guessers have criticized Smith for letting his mount go so fast in the early stages, but he was making a reasoned decision. Bodemeister had raced only four times in his career, and Baffert had not had the luxury of experimenting to learn whether he could be restrained to sit behind other horses. ?I didn?t want to change his style,? the trainer said, knowing that the Derby is no place to experiment.
As Bodemeister started to weaken, Gutierrez had put I?ll Have Another in perfect striking position. After breaking from his wide post position, he had managed to angle inside at the first turn ? he was only about one horse-width from the rail ? and to sit in the second flight behind Bodemeister, Trinniberg, and others. He never encountered any traffic trouble in the 20-horse field, and on the final turn he angled to the outside for clear sailing past the leader.
Even though he had a perfect trip while the fast pace was enervating all the early leaders, I?ll Have Another finished the 1 1/4 miles in 2:01.83, a slow time over such a fast track. The time translated into a Beyer Speed Figure of 101, the second-worst in the last 20 years (next to Giacomo?s 100 in 2005.) If I?ll Have Another can?t do any better than this on a day when everything was in his favor, it surely would be rash to speculate that he might be able to sweep the Triple Crown series.
If the winner?s performance was unimpressive by the historical standards of the Derby, the horses behind I?ll Have Another and Bodemeister were terrible. The hot pace should have created a great opportunity for stretch-runners to make bold late moves. Dullahan and Went the Day Well could only muster too-little-too-late rallies to finish third and fourth. The second choice, Union Rags, got off to a slow start that compromised his performance, never accelerated significantly, and finished seventh.
Well-regarded contenders Alpha and Gemologist were beaten by 19 and 30 lengths, respectively, with no excuses. This group of 3-year-olds appears even worse than the weak crops of 2011, 2010, and 2009, with the notable exception of Bodemeister, whose effort on Saturday was so good that the defeat didn?t even sting Baffert. ?This is the only time I?ve run second where I?ve been happy because he ran his race,? the trainer said. ?He?s a brilliant horse.?

There has been a PITCHING CHANGE @ OAKLAND with PARKER gong for the A'S instead of McCARTHY, who will start tomorrow's game.
I thought this might happen and just LISTED ROMERO in my straight play (POD) & in the parlays. The new line is TOR - 122 which is almost identical, so I will leave well enough alone .. my play was on ROMERO, anyway .. so, GO RICKY !!!!!!!!

Guess this Jarrod Parker kid can really pitch .. A's top prospect and beat the Bosox for his first win, going 6+ IP and allowing them just one run. Ricky will just have to outpitch him!
yea was about to say something when I saw the play. Parker is the best pitcher on the staff. sucks that the pitching change went down like it did. they'll just have to get to balfour and that shaky pen. Parker won't go more than 5-6 IP
Going with old reliable until he fucks me over.
POD:
Dodgers -1 -131. kershaw and vogelsong listed
Kershaw is the tits at home. Not gonna count CarGo's 2 linedrive HRs against him in Coors. Dodgers lineup is superior. Vogelsong has never been that impressive to me
