Hit my 2 biggest sides so I really should have done better yesterday. Missed that darn Petco total by a garbage run; take away the 1st inning and that game was way under. Would have done better if I didn't mess around with all those IF's. Oh well, still have 2 live parlays with the Padres for Wednesday, so I'm hoping to grab that 3 units there (total payout). Three Days (?was the morning?) of winning in the books, now, and feeling kind of hungry for a fourth.

Mariners, Devil Rays, Red Sox and Royals are system picks on Wednesday. M's best when facing a lefty and have a solid Felix going. Like the D'Rays chances with Shields, but didn't like the D'Rays scoring so little on Tuesday. And that line is down now, I see, at 2 am eastern; not sure why?maybe Vladdy ooffed himself or something; could be a pitching change for all I know?maybe Bartolo ain't feeling so hot. Red Sox look good to avoid the sweep, in my opinion, as the Jays were lucky to score like they did yesterday and face a better go in Bucholz than Lester in my opinion. Litsch really isn't that good, he's just gotten away with being not that good for awhile?still not thrilled about him for the Jays rotation next season?Halladay, Burnett, Marcum and McGowan look like a great 4 to start the season, if possible; Chacin might be back but I'm not crazy about him anyway. Jays likely go down with Litsch going; Bosox 7-day OPS is up close to .900 and it showed yesterday?they got a lot of hits off of Burnett but just didn't cash many, and Litsch is dogshit when compared to Burnett; I hate to play against my boys but the price was right so hoppy. I see it now at -118?still a system pick at that line as that has a 55% break-even mark and my call is Bosox 65%...a sweet plus 10 indicator with a pretty high call to boot, and very minimal juice. Royals look good as they actually took #2 on Tuesday and have their best going in Bannister,,and facing a Contreras who, despite being slightly better lately (not difficult?not much better, just the Chisox are winning when he starts)?back to Jose?he's allowed?it was 21-23 base hits over his past 2 starts, spanning only 11 innings or so (too tired to go look it up?something like that?he's been real hittable, anyway). Looks good with Bannister. Royals bats are a little scary.

Speaking of scary bats, I don't know about backing the Giants today, though there seems to be some value at present lines; Zito looking sharp the past 4-5 weeks. Astros might be worth a gamble too, facing Bush, but Gutierrez is kind of an x-factor and the Brewers look pretty good these days so I don't think I can go against them. Cards might be worth a shot, with Wainwright going, but the pathetic Cards lineup that was installed yesterday did basically nothing against a very shoddy Phillies bullpen (including looking pathetic in 2 innings facing era over 7 Jose Mesa). Padres with some value as Young simply owns them. Not sure about taking another shot with Garza; he looked fabulous a couple of months ago but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far away, or so it seems. I might try a piece; Twins have taken the first two and I feel real lucky to have survived Tuesday intact, to be perfectly honest.

Totals will be totally small for me. Was liking that Yanks game under but they have scored 20 in the first 2 home, kind of like I'd been predicting (didn't play the team over the 6 yesterday (except on a dead IF) as I was kinda hoping for a miracle Orioles victory). Stupid me?I'm backing them (O's) tomorrow/today.

I might be happy with what I've already got.
Probably post it soon. I've been up for about 23 hours now.

Hey Ex,

Have been following your work for some time, and am very interested in how you developed your system. when you get a chance, please reply or send me a pm or e-mail? (not quite sure how all things on this site work) if you would be willing to discuss with me. thanks.

hey man--thanks for the interest

I'm totally busy right now with the end of the season, and with the football going.
As for discussing...I dunno...was planning on attempting to write a book which discusses all such matters.

Any way that you can come up with a reasonable % call on a game gives you your best shot to beat the books.

stay tuned

:weed:

and Go Phillies!!!

I'm in the high fidelity first-class travelling set and I think I need a Lear jet.

balt@Nyy un10.5 +100 1.5/1.5


I think that I'm in good shape with what I've got here. Padres, Mariners, Red Sox and Royals look best to me. If I can nail three of those I should be laughing. Some of these totals look pretty good; the three that I'm going big(ger) on all look worthwhile, I just can't seem to bring myself to go more on these totals (moron these totals?) despite the system's killer work there this month. What a sexy sentence, aye? Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead. I mean with this BS. nevermind

PS eichstadt,

I loving discussing this stuff, handicapping and all, I'm just really tired tonight and, like I say, I' hoping to somehow get a book together.

If there's something specific that you're curious about then ask me in here and I'll do my best to answer.

Jeez I need sleep.

heads up on some open lines for Thursday.

I kind of like the Rockies to beat the Dodgers (Jimenez-Lowe) as Derek has struggled vs the Rockies before and I just think that the kid is due for a break at some point in time--he's been throwing pretty good. First line I've seen is -120, which would be a system pick; might be able to get it for -110 or -115 when some real lines open.

Mets should finally win one, too, with Glavine taking on Willis. Early line was -140, which would be a system pick, but we may be able to get it for a bit less in a while.

I also think that the Reds have a shot with top prospect Homer Bailey getting a final crack at the Bigs in '07; he had a couple of decent games early then fell into a real funk so he was sent down--lots of potential and Cain can't get a break to save his life, losing 2-1 and stuff. I also think the under looks good in that game, at 8.5; Cain should do his usual thing, which has been pretty hot lately, while the Giantsticks should also continue to do their usual thing, which is not much, which is why I think that there' value on the Reds for Thursday--first line I've seen is +145, a system pick as I'll likely have a call of Reds 51% unless maybe they drop tonight's contest and the G-men go out and score a half-dozen or more...not going to happen so the Reds call of 51% looks likely; might even make it a 52 or 53 if BOTH the Reds win (longshot) and the Giants get shut out, or something along those lines.

Can't wait for this first game.
Need it real bad.
Everything points to an M's victory, so just need the mildest form of breaks, methinks.

catch you during the contest, maybe

GL

and Go Mariners!!!

Ex.

Thanks for the reply. I have no specific questions right now, but was just wondering how you started your system in general. I understand that you don't want to give away specifics about your system. Anyway, if that book ever happens, I would be very interested in taking a look at it.
