real simple here. gonna take ALL 4 puppies saturday.
marlins +148 (schmidt on 3 days rest - prove it, jason - and marlins are 14-3 last 17 home games - so why not take +150ish with willis and what will be an insane crowd trying to avoid a cross country flight for G5. give me a team that has won OVER 80% of its last 17 home games @ +150 and i am supposed to pass that up - HELL NO!)
cubs +110 (braves 0-5 L5 facing elimination. ortiz on 3 days rest in what will also be an amazing atmosphere - besides - as long as the braves are playing NOT to lose - as opposed to the cubs playing to win - why not take the dog here - and you know the cubs will be like the marlins - and treat this like G5 for they want no part of G5 in atl!)
a's +160 (lowe threw 42 pitches wednesday in the heartbreaking loss and while that was his "off day" to pitch - not sure he has gotten over it - and you know the first time something goes wrong - the red sox fans will be thinking, "oh, no - here we go again." also - past a's choke jobs in the past helps here since the last thing the a's want to do is have this series go 1 more game than need be).
twins +155 (based on how the yankees have played so far this series - you wanna lay this much wood with them? me, neither! the twins are the BEST fielding team in baseball and will use the dome's nooks and crannies to their advantage. they will come in loose while the yankes won't - for they want no part of going down 2-1 and fighting for their lives sunday. i have no problem playing against clemens in what - i hope - will be the last game of his career. ALL of the value is with the twinkies here).
to recap:
Marlins +148
Cubs +110
A's +160
Twins +155
if i go 2-2 i can make over 1 unit of profit if the right teams "come home" and a small one at worst - and i truly think AT LEAST 2 dogs come home (cubs and marlins - the strongest 2 - i think)
