Turned things around nicely. Glad we still have 86% of the regular season left.
Haven't been posting during my recovery,
but I believe that superstition is bad luck so here we go...
(deconstruct THAT mother for a laugh)
PLAYS
Brewers -119 0.6/0.5
mets -127 1.27/1
A's -115 0.57/0.5
2-teamer
--Reds ml
--M's ml
+179
0.56/1
--Brewers, like last year, are mashing lefties. Should be more fun than facing Hamels.
--Hill needs to find form and could be on a short leash. With the stuff that Perez has, he remains a bargain.
--Liriano seems to have lost his '06 form--after surgery--and hasn't had good control. Bill Welke umping might help Liriano's BB's but will give the same benefit to Smith, acquired in the Haren deal w/D'Backs. Smith has looked pretty solid. A's hit lefties well last year, though aren't so far in '08--STILL doing much better than the Twinkies vs lefties so far. Should play under if Liriano brings anything.
--Cueto is too pricey. What am I thinking?
--M's destroyed lefties at home last year and Loewen doesn't look like a former 1st-rounder.
Also hoping for a total of 10 at Fenway. Saunders has done good work vs the Bosox and Masterson might raise some eyebrows. Would try the home squad at -135ish.
If they keep the ump rotation at KC, despite the rainout, then Nelson will be doing game #2 which helps any under plays. Was at an 8.5 before they took it down so should remain so. Batters might be kind of weary by game #2, as well. 'Course, we could say the same thing about the defenses. Looks worthwhile as Lee is overachieving early.
Look ma!...no Jays plays!
