well hopefully you went to the BANK after the first three, and passed on my other plays. Ended with a losing nite after starting 3-0.

Arizona at COLORADO

Passing on this game... I hate em both after last nite and can't trust either starter or BP... I'd lean to AZ to bounce back at a plus price, but that's all I got to say...

Atlanta at PHILA

Two struggling pitchers going head to head, but both were doing fine before the last two outings... hmmmm tired arm? Could be, and this break may be what both needed, rest. ATL is 13-5 in Game 3 after a loss, while PHIL is 11-16 after a W. ATL needs this game badly, however, they rarely give BURKETT any runs and it's hard to bet against the HT when CUZZI is behind the plate. Overall, HT's are 22-8 and Home Dogs are 4-2. HOWEVER, I see the better value in the UNDER where CUZZI stands at 9-20 O/U and his games average 7.60 rpg. Neither offense is blowing up scoreboards, so look for another tight low scoring game.

UNDER 8.5 -115

Florida at MONTREAL

Although I hate to say it, I'm playing the EXPOS here and trusting that PAVANO continues his improvement. He's gotten better every start, hard to get worse! and I think he'll keep the EXPOS in this game. He pitched well vs PHIL in his last outing. GORMAN is behind the plate and HT's are 21-9 with him, and HOME DOGS are 7-1. That's the deciding factor... the UMP when deciding between two bad teams, one on the road, the other a bad home team.

MONT +115

Chicago at CINCY

Can't lay the WOOD with KERRY... not with the way BAYLOR is using his pen. He's an idiot and I can't back him. KERRY will NOT go more than seven, if that, so it's the BP after that. I doubt if HAMILTON goes long either, so this game is odd. The deciding factor for me is the UMP again. HUDSON is behind the plate and HT's are 19-9 when he's back there. DOGS are also 7-1 and the UNDER is 16-11 overall, but more importantly, stands at 11-3 when the line is 9 or less.
Gonna go with the UMP on this one...

CINC +180 & UNDER 8.5

Kansas City at CLEVELAND


UNDER UNDER UNDER... that's all I got to say. KC is NOT worth a wager in this game, and COLON is too flaky to lay 220 on. However, both have outstanding O/U records, SUPPAN is 4-12 on the road, COLON is 5-12 at home. WELKE is a fair UMP at 12-15, but his games average 9.11 rpg. A 5-4 or 6-3 final is fine with me, but I'm expecting more of a 5-1 game with CLE winning.

UNDER 9.5 EVEN

Tampa at BOSTON

BOSTON is the only way to play this game... CONE is tough at home and WILSON can't win on the road. BOS played well last nite, and if they continue to play together, may make a little, and I do mean a little noise down the stretch. BARKSDALE behind the plate helps as home favs 160 & up are 7-1.

BOSTON -160

Baltimore at TORONTO

JAYS are hot... O's are not and the HP UMP likes big home favs! Hollowell is back there and H FAVS 175 and up are 4-1 and Overall, Home favs above 125 are 9-3. JAYS blasted a weak O's lineup yesterday... with DOC on the mound, it should happen again!

JAYS -170

be back in a bit with the rest...

NYY at CHICAGO WS

YANKS are down to 184 at ACES... I got to take the ROCKET MAN! Going for win #20, I think he'll go for it big time. Was liking the UNDER, but am now passing as NYY has been giving ROGER lots of support this year, and after going off yesterday, they may get more than 9 themselves...

NYY -184

Oakland at TEXAS


Two huge hitting teams go at it again, but this time, I think the pitchers will prevail. Getting to go UNDER 9.5 w/HUDSON is too much to pass up. DAVIS is not a bad pitcher, and with 4 of last 5 TEX home games staying UNDER, I'll try it. Was leaning to playing TEX at home, but I think DAVIS keeps the OAK bats quiet enough, just not sure if TEX will hit HUDSON. It's just the UNDER for me...

UNDER 9.5 -110

Detroit at MINNESOTA

Got burnt by the UNDER here last nite, but am willing to try it again. SPARKS has strong UNDER numbers, especially on the ROAD at 4-11 O/U, and MILTON is solid at home. I look for another easy MINNY win, but this time, SPARKS keeping MINNY off balance enough to keep this one below 9. Milton is 8-2 at home this year, and has won his last 4 vs DET.

MINN -165 & UNDER 8.5 EVEN

San Diego at LOS ANGELES

Lots of people jumping on the PADRES, and for good reason. BUT, the UMP should NOT be one of them! It is true, ROAD teams are 23-8 when he's behind the plate, but take a closer look at the numbers and it shows you he favors the BETTER team, not just the road team. Looking closer, you'll find he sides with the FAVORITE slightly at 16-15 and FAVS of 145 or more, whether home or away are 9-4. He sides with the better team! Granted, the way LA is playing, SD may be the better team right now, but I see the DODGERS coming thru tonite and this game going OVER. KULPA's numbers are slightly OVER at 16-14, but when the line is 8.5 or 9 his numbers show 10 OVERS and 3 UNDERS. I think the LA bats finally wake up, and although I WON'T play LA, I won't go against them either. My play is OVER!!!

OVER 8.5 EVEN

Houston at SAN FRAN

I love SAN FRAN tonite. HERNANDEZ is a clutch pitcher. He practically willed the MARLINS to the WORLD SERIES when with them and he will come up HUGE TONITE! Milicki is GARBAGE and his record is deceiving in the fact he's been pitching against MILW, CINC, and PITT since coming over to HOUSTON. With OSWALT leaving early last nite, ASTROS got one of two choices. LEAVE in MILICKI to get rocked, or wear out their pen. I think they leave him in and let him get to the 7th, no matter what the score. They don't want to risk it, so I think they "sacrifice" tonite's game if SF jumps on MILICKI and look to come back tomorrow. Just my opinion.
HERNANDEZ has not faced HOU this year, but won all THREE starts vs them last year, giving up 24 hits in 23 innings with an ERA of 2.35.

SF -130 & -1.5 +160

Anaheim at SEATTLE


SEATTLE should clinch the AL WEST tonite as MOYERS has been un-hittable as of late. I think his offspeed stuff will fluster the HALOS after not hitting GARCIA last nite, and they'll pack it in early. SCHOENWEIS is effective, more of a ground ball kinda guy, so I look for an easy SEA win by a low score, like last nites 4-0 win. Tempted to take the RUNLINE with SEATTLE, but I'll stick with the UNDER only...

UNDER 8.5 -120
