THE WINNERS JUST KEEP COMING AND COMING....... :D :D


Atlanta -145 over Philly

Why wouldn't I? LOL. Long after I got lucky in the business world and had a little financial stability I still play in my Tuesday night Hearts game I have played in for 15 years. I wouldn't say I break the bank as we played for .50 cents a point but the $65 - $130 winnings on average I won really helped out when we first started. The wife would always remind me don't you have that Hearts game tonight? Please fill up the car on the way home and you can keep a $10 bill for lunch. Now I am not a world beater in card games but these guys never could master even the most basic of card techniques. Things like counting trumps and how to pass three cards to keep the other guy from shooting the moon. They never did pick up on it. Ask any poker players and they'll tell you the bad players play the same way they played 40 years ago. If they live 40 more they'll still play the same too. LOL. The moral to the story is even though over the years the $60 - $135 greatly decreased in the value it meant to me I could never tear myself away from taking what was pretty much free money. To this day I still bend over to pick up quarters and would chase a $5 bill a couple blocks before I gave up on it. And even though now it's more like I'll never understand why you can't sit home with me on a Tuesday night once in a while I still can't stop myself from going. Can't even say it's for the company as a couple of the guys are real assholes, especially when I unload the Queen of Spades on them. For some reason I feel guilty if I don't go, maybe it's from the days when I lived in my car. LOL. Money is money. Oh and by the way I'll be playing the Braves today. 'Nuff said. :)


Anaheim -105 over Seattle

Had to actually cap this one. Although again this seems to be an easy call. Washburn has been the man!!! He's now won 11 straight decisions. His last 3 starts he's 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA!! Another interesting thing is everyone knows how well Anaheim hits lefthanders (over .300 for the year) but in their last 10 games they have been hitting righthanders better than lefties. Let me say it's obvious Piniero is a stud as well but to get the Angels at even money at home with the hottest pitcher in baseball going is indeed a play worth looking into. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts guys.

Good luck.

Adding.........

Milwaukee +145 over Colorado

Sheets is not a bad pitcher. Not at all. Though his record is terrible he's much better than most casual fans realize and has real good stuff. For one thing he gets horrible run support at times. In his last 3 appearances though he's 0-2 he has gone 21 innings (7 innings a game) and has a 2.14 ERA. Why can't he win? Well his team gave him on average 1.3 runs a game to work with in those starts. In Colorado he may get some run support and if he does this one has a real shot. Another thing I like is this guy gets a lot of ground ball outs as he keeps the ball down and has a real good overhanded curve. In this place you don't want a lot of balls up in the air. His opponent in the circle has him beat only in win/loss record. Jennings has a higher WHIP, higher ERA, gives up more hits per inning, has given up more homeruns in less innings and strikes out less hitters. Certainly there's no guarantees and Jennings has an excellent home record of 6-1 but that is because like Sheets he has a good sinker and keeps the ball down. If the Brewers can wake up and give Sheets 5 runs like they have scored the last 2 games this one has a real good shot coming home.


Milwaukee/Colorado UNDER 12.5 -115 Canbet

Like I mentioned above both these guys get way more ground ball outs than fly ball outs. Besides being a good hitter Jennings has an excellent sinker. Pitchers duel doesn't belong in the same sentence as Coors Field but this shouldn't be a high scoring affair. In this park with the ball being hit on the ground I can see this UNDER coming home rather easily. I see Brewers winning 5-3 game. Hope I'm right.

Good luck men.

Mr McIrish......you hit the nail right on the head with this ground ball pitchers at Coors stuff.

A lot of people don't look at stuff like that. Usually I don't even think about touching the Unders at Coors unless they're those type of pitchers. The Home Ump should be in your favor for the Under as well. You don't know how close this was 2 a play for me as well......a couple things scared me in this one, but You are definately on the right side and hope you nail it!!

Good stuff and best of luck in all your plays today.
