SSI's MLB Plays for thursday

SSI · Apr 22, 2004

17-13 (+3.65 units YTD)

Back to back 4-2 days, so maybe the season is starting to shape up now..

Florida (+1.10) Marlins have taken 17 of last 19 from Philly, that is one trend that i must ride, won the last 2 days with them.

Cinn (-1.15) Hate to even write this one down as im a major braves fan but the gambler in me likes the reds in this one.. Home feild to the reds, slight pitching edge to reds and jaret wright could have some troubles against the left handed bats of cincy.

im still capping the games and we have some good matchups today, ill add to plays later.. good value today in tigers/pirates/rangers but i havenet pulled the trigger on any of them.. wells has been really good for the pirates and wood has a losing record against pitt (things to remember before laying that chalk).. another high price on the twins today against a solid, yes i said solid pitcher in maroth, you have to be good to lose 21 games (as he did last year) think about that... also will the cards continue with the runs as they face a tough roy oswalt (my sleeper to win the cy young).. sorry for rambling but i had a little time..

Does anyone know if Barry Bonds is playing today, he usually sits the day game after a night game? if he is playing then (-1.35) is a good price on reuter today, who has pitched well in his career against padres..

adding Boston (-1.75) at oly.
one of the few times that ill lay this much chalk, but with possibly the best pitcher and team in the AL, ill do it this time.. I really like the way that boston is rounding into shape as a team and they have won 20 of last 30 at skydome against a struggling blue jays team here with a struggling batista on the mound.. if schilling/pedro/wakefield/lowe can stay healthy they will be tough to beat for the division title, of course the post season is a different story..

nice start to the day as the marlins beat the phillies for the 18th time in the last 20 games, some streaks are very dominant.. Looks like rain may cancel the remainder of the reds game and its over 1/2 way, so a 2-0 start may be in order..

braves/reds game finally cancelled and Oly had my winnings in within minutes. Lines up for friday already and want to bring attention to the braves +1.68, thats a big line with ortiz going, and the braves swept them last weekend..

adding TB/Balt over 9.5 (-1.22) at pinny.. dont need to really say much here as both starters have Era's near 10.. good luck to everyone thats it for me in bases today..

Late comment which I'm sure you know already. Barry didn't play today but it wouldn't matter. The Giants are currently a go against team. That 1.5 runs I layed yesterday sure came into play.

Honestly, the Giants currently have no confidence, chemistry, pitching, hitting, defense or anything close to the attitude they had last year. Be careful before playing them for awhile.

By the way good luck on your quest to get your bankroll to 100K in the next four years and then go full time. Someday we can discuss this via e-mail if you wish.
