System sides went 12-3 on Saturday (even picking a pair of dogs) so I deserved to be a winner yesterday. Only 1 for 2 on 70's (high call Angels lost) but 4-0 on high 60's and 4-1 on low 60's. Very happy with the start of the final true month.
Nice start on the totals, too. Sweetness. Very thrilled with that push on the Petco game after it was 7-0 through 5 innings?saved me almost 3 units between a straight and an IF play (that IF play survived until the 6th pick, which was the Petco push).
As for Sunday, system picks include the Giants, Blue Jays, Indians and Tigers. Zito, Burnett and Westbrook have all been superb, lately; Giants, with their offense (and possibly Bonds resting), might be the trickiest but Zito is tons better than Chico (or Bacsik, if it's him?I'm playing this one Zito (only) must start); Jays coming off of a (slim) win, key bat 1B Sexson is out for the M's, and Weaver has been very mediocre lately so the Jays get a huge edge at SP the way Burnett's going; Indians have the largest hitting edge, of the three, to go along with a large pitching edge?Contreras has been a bit better lately but likely takes his lumps, here?Westbrook has been sensational for about his past 6 starts (actually 4 beauties and 2 mediocre). Tigers get to face a lefty, which they greatly prefer, and not too potent a one at that; Robertson coming off a very poor outting but was great in the start prior so at least he's showing some signs of life?key to this match is the hitting edge for the Tigers.
Also, perhaps, some value with Brewers, Reds, Cubs, Dodgers, Yankees (RL) and Royals. Brewers looked great Saturday and do their best work against lefties but the pitching matchup favours Gorzelanny over Suppan, here?should be much closer on Sunday. Reds' Arroyo looks decent lately but so does Cards' Looper; bit of an edge to the hot Reds sticks for this one?very, tough call. Sticks comparable for the Petco game (maybe favouring Lad a bit) but the pitching will favour the Dodgers between Billingsley and Germano?another tough call. Yanks get one of my rare 80's as Hammel is even worse fade material than Sonnanstine, a few days ago, was (they couldn't hit Sonnanstine but should have a party here?Yankees over 6 at -125 might be worth a look as the runline is freakin' expensive; Pettitte has been strong for awhile but the D'Rays greatly prefer lefties so they'll likely get a good 3-5 tomorrow?hmm?just checked the ump and it's going to be super-under Doug Eddings working?makes the Yanks over the 6 a little less palatable, though the D'Rays under 4.5 now looks okay, save for the -155 price tag?forget that, the way the D'Rays are hitting lately; under 10.5 is tempting because of Eddings but I think that Hammel will keep me away. Royals always have a shot with Bannister starting but I don't really like the price?looks that Brian is starting to get the respect of the linesmakers?sorta need better dog-money to get me in for that one.
So far I'm on the under in Atlanta and the over in Florida. I don't know if I really like the others. Kind of like the Toronto under but it's pricey for a total. Petco game doesn?t play under today and I wouldn't touch it for tomorrow. I don't know if the Bosox can get 11 all by themselves Sunday, and the Orioles were almost (make that WERE) no-hit by Bucholz so there's no gaurantee that they'll do their share to net the over; I'll likely pass on that one as I wouldn?t be surprised to see Lester chuck a decent game.
That's what I'm looking at for Sunday.
A look at team totals and Hendrix-only-knows what else will follow.
