Profitcity Thursday
- Thread starter Randercity
- Start date
The White Sox should complete their sweep here of the toothless TIGERS, especially with the lineup DET is tossing out there today(no Clark, Encarcion, or Cruz). The only problem I had with playing CHI, is WEAVER. He pitches well vs CHI, but gets very little support. Therefore, I look for this game to stay UNDER. I think a 4-2 final is the most we'll see today, well, at least I HOPE that's what it is. Good luck either way you play it!
Arizona at SAN FRAN
This game should come down to the BP's as I doubt if either of these two starters get past the 7th. JENSEN will not be pushed to go past six, as SF BP is in good shape with WORRELL, Christiansen, Rodriguez, and NEN all available and rested. Also, I'm not sure how effective LOPEZ will be with his change up in SAN FRAN, as the air in that stadium tends to do funny things. It may cause it to hang a little more than he would like...
ARIZONA got 17 hits last nite, nine of their hits off the SF bullpen, all off guys I doubt you'll see in the game today. JENSEN has been very tough, especially at home, and they may try to get him to go seven today, and leave it to RODRIGUEZ and NEN to finish up, both who were not used yesterday. If not WORRELL and Christiansen were not used yesterday either, and both have been sharp lately also.
ARIZONA's bullpen is in shambles as evidenced by the SAN DIEGO series. LOPEZ has gone nine before, but in what I figure to be a low scoring game, look for him to get lifted for a PH around the sixth or seventh and then turn the ball over to that BP. In his last start, he left with a 5-1 lead, only to watch in horror as SD won 7-5! KIM is not right at all... he blew two games in SD, and gave up 2 hits, 1 BB, and an ER in one inning last nite. IF it comes down to the BP, which I feel it will, SAN FRAN wins this game.
We also have WOLF behind the plate and he's a big time HT UMP, 18-10 for the home team, and 7-3 in the last 10. Of those 7 wins by the home team, the OVER is 6-0-1. I played the UNDER in this game last nite at 9, but am thinking of buying it back at 8.5 now that the line has changed... we'll decide when I see lineups and wind.
SAN FRAN -115 played last nite.

Wow... that was scary!
6-2 top of 5 and I turned off the game! Came back to see 4.5 scoreless innings much to my delight!
Hopefully SAN FRAN can keep their lead and get me out of the box on a nice start...
Phila at MONTREAL
Played this game last nite as soon as I saw it at -155. YES, PHILLY is slumping... yes MONTREAL won yesterday vs ATL, yes they scored ten runs... but that was then, this is now. PAVANO has been simply terrible... I've gone against him every time since his first start, and he's not let me down yet, and I don't see him doing it tonite. PERSON is pitching very well right now, and even if he's off, he should still keep the EXPOS under the six or seven that PAVANO should spot the PHILLIES! OVER may be in order also!
Will have to wait on HP UMP info first...
PHILLIES -155

Cleveland at BOSTON
Played this game UNDER last nite, taking UNDER 10 -115 when I saw it at Wagerstreet. BOS struggles vs lefties, and I don't have the exact number, but I know they have a GREAT UNDER record when facing a lefty. CASTILLO has been on fire also, which should help quiet the CLE bats. HP UMP is basically neutral, so I look for more of a 5-3 type game here. BOSTON is probably the side to be on, but I can't back them right now with all that's going on there...

THAT ACE COULD NOT HAVE HELPED YOU!
Minnesota at TEXAS
Both these guys are capable of complete games so that should help with the pitiful BP's that have been getting shelled. The real kicker in this game is the HP UMP RUNGE. As noted on THE GATOR's thread, take away two games that TOTALLED 50 runs, and his other 14 games average 7.99 rpg. With two strong starters going here, I look for a low scoring game. Doesn't hurt that TEX is without PUDGE either...
MINN UNDER 10 -105 at VIP overnite
Kan City at ANAHEIM
Gonna take the HOMER HALOS to put two good games in a row together. KC struggles mightily vs lefties, and unless BYRD can no hit the HALOS like SUPPAN almost did, I see the ANGELS getting the win here for SCOTT S. as he should rebound at home, where he benefits from the home ground crew, and lots of groundballs. KC is 5-2 when BYRD starts on the road, but the HALOS are 10-3 when Schoenweis is at home. Gonna stick with the ANGELS to get back to winning... played this last nite at VIP.
ANGELS -140

Thanks Teddy, and don't sweat it! I live in SUNNY SO CAL, no black clouds over head here!
JMIZEUS and me agree pretty much, only diff is on KC/ANA, and I can see it going either way, I just jumped on the low line, figuring it would climb. The UNDER may be way to go instead... I also jumped on LA/COLO UNDER 12.5 last nite, and look for that game to be near 8 at most. I gotta run for now... be back later with some more picks!

Los Angeles at COLORADO
Despite the 7 run inning out of LA last nite, I don't see these two putting up more than 12 tonite. COLORADO is slumping big time and ADAMS has been excellent lately. HAMPTON seems to have gotten over his funk, and should do well tonite. I know some good cappers are touting the OVER in this one, but I see it only one way, and that's UNDER. COLORADO should probably win this game, but I can't back them at this price vs ADAMS, as I doubt if ADAMS goes as long as HAMPTON, and that means the LA BP, which is BS.

5-1-1 on the nite +3.85 Units
Nice nite, just wish I had listened to SIXFIVE and IE and passed on the DODGERS total. I even mentioned it could be scary once the LA BP got in the game, I forgot how inept the ROCKIES BP is... 6 runs in the last three innings once the starters left... I need to completely IGNORE DODGER games. I can't win with them, or against em! Had COLO +1.5 Runs the nite before and LA scores 7 in the top of the ninth to beat me after being shut out for 8 innings, 2-0. Oh well, I was fortunate to pull out the ANAHEIM game after PERCIVAL blew only his 3rd save in 41 tries, so win some, lose some.
