Paid the price yesterday for playing heavy juice all over the place; hurt me on my straights and my parlays. Just needed one run by the Yanks in the 9th to secure the over, with the heart of the order coming up, but Torre pinch-hits for both Jeter and Rodriguez which kinda spoiled that. Garza call was the only one that really burned my ass?Twins take the second, easily, 5-0, which I figure was a more likely score for the opener. Not much I can do but try to end another 1-day losing streak.

Phillies, Brewers, Padres, Twins, Angels and Tigers are all system picks for Saturday; quite astounding that there's another 6 to follow a day with 9 (8 with the pitching change); that's got to be the 2-day high for the season, at 14 total. Angels are the only one that's priced outta my lengthy reach so that's the only one I'd try on the runline (the only 60% call for a runline today, anyways). Also appears to be some value with Astros, Rockies and Jays, though the Astros call IS under 50% today (same as yesterday, again showing value with the dog, though). The numbers will have to do for my post today as I pulled an all-dayer and will likely crash soon.

After a few bad days in a row system totals rebounded, somewhat, by going 3-1 yesterday. I like the Miller Park game over and the Petco under. I'm still considering the Metrodome over and the McAfee under. I've actually got the side for all 4 of these so I don't know if I want to play side and total for 4 games?I dunno?all 4 are system sides and all 4 are system totals?don't think THAT happens too much either.

I've got to start playing smarter, in general. Been hurt pretty bad on 3 days since (and including) last Sunday (3 out of the past 6 days, with only one big winner mixed in). Other days I think I've just been getting lucky (save maybe that one big day?was last Monday). Playing the heavy juice too much lately?a good restriction that I came up with for plays over -150 has been taken out of practice, somewhere along the lines, and I think it's time to start employing it again. Just need to play smarter in general?shoulda stuck with my original plays and not pumped up the jam so heavy on the Twins like I decided to. Too many parlays, too. Too many too's (to's,two's,three's,four's?).

Gonna sign out before I get real psycho-philosophical, here.
Been without sleep a little too (ouch) long. (those 2's are really starting to hurt my ears).

Will post all plays. I'm in a daze.

Brewers, Twins and Angels are 3 system picks with moneylines greater than -150.
As for that restriction that I was talking about:
--Brewers DO NOT pass due to pitching; Bush 0-3 career vs the Pirates, pitching one so-so game vs in '07
--Twins DO pass with both pitching and hitting domination in place
--Angels DO pass, with flying colours, with large edges at both pitching and hitting (Rangers OPS vs R about 50 points lower than vs L (like Saunders yesterday) and they've had trouble with Escobar before (for '07 Kelvim is 2-0 with a 1.77 era in 3 vs the Rangers)

Padres is close, at -150, and this one actually DOES NOT pass the restriction; pitching dominance with (a fairly hot, again) Peavy starting but with a rather small hitting edge (need a certain minimal differential (edge) on both my hitting and pitching numbers--that's the restriction I'd like to stick with)

I'm already on the Padres. Not OVER the -150 anyways.
I'm already on the Brewers, too, so not much I can do about that now; Brewers are 17-8 at home to lefties (.680) and don't face a particularly tough one today (Youman's work out of the pen lately has been pretty bad, not to mention his earlier work as a starter). A 72% call on this game sounds pretty fair as Pitt doesn't travel well and the Brewers enjoy one of the better home-field advantages in the Bigs. Game #2, some argue, is when the travel really affects the players the most (I still believe that game #1 should provide the greatest home advantages and greatest road disadvantages (I use both...a + and a -, that is).()())

Angels passing with flying colours should get me on that runline, already.
Methinks Volquez suffers some, today.
Escobar for AL CY Young if Beckett tanks (forget flippin' Wakefield, and Bedard can kiss my ass after that last start...another dumb play of mine over the past week...O's had pitching differentail/edge covered for sure, but didn't have the hitting edge required...not the way the D'Rays hit lefties (OPS >.800, or use to be)())

Now I want a beer.
Everything is closed.
The universe is flawed.

wait a sec...

When the still sea conspires in armour
And her sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead!
Awkward instance,
And the first animal is jettisoned
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff, green gallop
And heads bob up
Poised,
Delicate,
Oars consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over.

I'm in the high fidelity first-class travelling set and I think I need a Lear jet.

Up a little longer than expected. Pretty tired when some of these plays were made so I hope I didn't do anything too foolish. If system calls start the month off well?for sides and/or totals?then I'll be in good shape. Otherwise there's always Sunday; it looks like 10 of the 15 games tomorrow will be calls of 60% or higher?some MUCH higher, so I'm probably looking at 3 straight days (including yesterday) of a little more risk than usual. Didn't start off well but I'm planning on ending it well (a little in-between green wouldn't hurt, either?that's what today is for).

I'm beat.
Catch ya tomorrow (today).

that 5-spot in the second assures me at least the over or the Brewers ML

I came SO close to playing Milwaukee over 5, at -110, but figured I had enough on the moneyline.
What can you do?

Looks like a Peavy show tonight and I'll be laughing my way to a decent plus today.
Got a seriously live IF play happening...Brewers by 2 and it's alive at pick #6.

vs a poor lefty seemed too easy.
long way to go.
Bush sure ain't my favorite.

Keep it up, boys!

I got the Yanks at 80% for Sunday's game,
but have you seen the line?
-315 kinda negates any value no matter how high the probability.

See you with the numbers in a few hours.

Indians looks strong for tomorrow.

76% (-210)+8
-210 is 47.6 cents on the dollar
76 x 0.476 = 36.176
24 x -1......= -24
-----------------------------------
...................12.176%

Not too bad.

RL 62% (-115)+8
-115 is 87 cents otd
62 x 0.87 = 53.94
38 x -1....= -38
--------------------------------
.................15.94%

I think the moneyline, though expensive, looks better...
runline with a 3.764 point higher ROI or
3.764/12.176%=
a 31% higher ROI, but with a
14/24%=
58% increase in risk.

Not a fair trade-off.
Wish I had something to parlay the Indians with--Yanks aren't really worth it...

Nyy 80%
Clev 76%
----------------------
2-teamer 61% (-108)+9

(actually that's not too bad)

-108 is 92.6 cents otd
61 x 0.926 = 56.486
39 x -1......= -39
-----------------------------------
.....................17.486%

Not bad at all.
A little more risk that the straight Indians runline but with an increase in ROI.

I think that Indians price will likely go up, but I think that the Yankees might come down some.
Maybe, maybe not.

I'll likely try a piece of this parlay, though my system recently had misses on a 79 (Twins game 1 yesterday) and a 77 (Angels with Escobarred today).
Hitting all the high 60's great, and low 70' are okay, too.
60 is rockin' but 61,62,63 need improvement.
New month so we'll see how it goes.
