The Day After the BPs Got Cooked

[jng]

Cubs/Stros under 10--high NL total even in Houston

Phillies-130. Brews BP worked OT last night

Bravos/Rocks over 12'. Same BP issue

(Passing Schilling and Rocket because I am unconvinced that reducing 300 to 160 with 1' runs makes it a much better play.)

Schilling/Williams under 8. OK, have to have some action on a great fame to watch.

Leiter -130.

Carrara/Pavano over 8'. DL pitcher vs a converted 2nd tier reliever. Will also play a small par on Dodgers and over.

Minny?! LaTroy is on his way somewhere else, I hope, but thisis still not a playable game. Finley/Mays over is not that great a play either even though either of them could blow up.

Angels-130 over Tigers. OK, I was wrong about Jarrod and now I will hop back on the bandwagon.

Seattle as my biggest play because teh Sox have no BP left to speak of. Look at the picthes thrown. 3 Unit Play

I am in agreement with almost everything that you have said. I just hate to play under 8, because the winning team can often score 7 or more themselves. 8.5 is a huge difference if you can get it. Williams era is almost 5 by itself. Last nite Pitt bp went as follows: Sauerback, era 5.67; Manzinillo, era 3.78; Marte, era 3.06; Fetters, era 5.50. If Williams goes after 5 or 6, that under is in trouble.
