no doubt that gary cederstrom is one of the more reliable "over" umps, not just because of his o/u numbers but also by virtue of his consistently low called strike % and k/bb ratio. last year he was 20-15 to the over, however his called strike and k/bb numbers spiked upward. in perspective, this was true with the majority of the umps last year because of pressure from the league to call the high strike. while past pressure from mlb to enlarge the strike zone had gone mostly ignored by the umps, last year they appeared to be infuenced a little more strongly (read: intimidated) by the commish because of their shakey labor situation. i've noticed that most of the umps this year have tended to gravitate back to their prevalent tendencies prior to 2001. in any event, until his nubers start to regress a little, cederstrom is probably worth an over play by himself in all but the most unfavorable circumstances.

GSP said take the under in the san fran atlanta game. one of his top 6 plays.

you guys might wont to reconsider the over play.

I'm not taking the over, just laying off the under.

cooz3, where do you get that info on ump's history, if you don't mind my asking?

I don't like the ump in Houston under. He gave grief to Maddux and Sabathia--had tons of walks. I think he is tough on location pitchers, like Padilla is tonight. sound reasonable?

Barry Bonds owns Greg Maddux, Maddux refuses to pitch around him. Up until last night the Braves offense really started to come around scoring 6-7 runs over a 5 game stretch. Livan Hernandez isnt nearly as effective when he isn't getting the calls on the corner of the plate. I have seen Cederstrom do a few games and his zone is screwed down tight. I think both teams will score some runs in this one.
