Loving Tonight's Card - Tuesday Baseball

Boxslayer · May 17, 2005

:hump: OK, maybe it's not love. But it's that good 'ole special feeling where I'd do anything to bone it. Had a dog card yesterday and went 2-2 for another profit. Tonight I'm like a fat man in the buffet line and I want a little bit of everything. I got some value favorites, some totals, some run lines and of course some dogs.

(3 units) Marlins @ Dodgers UN 7 (Best Bet)
D-Train goes for 8-0 and Derek Lowe returns home after a rocky road trip. While D-Train is just on fire, Lowe is a sinker ball pitcher pitching in a pitcher's park. Dodgers stadium is a graveyard, and Lowe will be thrilled to get back on the bump at Dodgers stadium where his home stats are just sick:
2-1, 7:1 strikeout/walk ratio, ZERO HR's allowed and opponents are batting just .214/.233/.262 off of him at Dodgers Stadium. Everyone is aware of D-Train's stats, but he doesn't walk many people either. There shouldn't be too many walks or homeruns against these two pitchers. That means in order for these two offenses to score runs, they are going to have to earn them and string together hit after hit to plate runs against two tough hurlers. D-Train was born and raised in Cali as if he didn't need much more added motivation. Umpire behind the dish has 57% unders this year as well. Expected final shouldn't be higher than 4-3.

(2 unit) Orioles -178
(1 unit) Orioles -1.5 -115
(1 unit) Mets -150
(1 unit) Marlins -128

DOGS
:dogtoilet
(1 unit) Phillies +101 (Lidle)
(1 unit) Pirates +125 (Fogg)
(1 unit) Blue Jays +200 (Towers)
(1 unit) White Sox -1.5 +125 (Garland)

How can we take your Marlins play seriously when you've got the D-Train in your avatar? JK, good luck with your plays.

LOL. Those who have seen my thread before have seen me bet against the Marlins countless times. I bet with them last night as a dog and won. I've bet against them for like 3 of the past 5 days. Anyway, good luck.

Good luck man! I had to go against the train first time all season! Hope it dont bite me! Like your card as well! :103631605

Probably a good play. If he's going to lose one, this seems like one he could lose. But I just think there's too much value in Dontrelle at that price for me to pass up.

Putting together a solid day. Orioles seal the deal to guarantee another winning day. After going 6-1-1 two days ago, I'm at 6-1 again so far. Just missed 7-0 and the sweep of the dogs card when Derek Lee hit the 2 run bomb in the 9th to ruin my Pirates bet. Cashed nice with the Blue Jays at +200 to cancel off some of this Marlins bet.

6-1 (+7.26 units)

That could change as this Marlins game is looking ugly.

Great night no matter what happens the rest of the way. Whats your YTD record? I bet its impressive.

Boxslayer · May 18, 2005

Not as impressive as being up 50+ units to start the year like you. Things like that don't happen accidentally.

I am.

Be patient though. Baseball is a game of slumps. The great ones always find a way to break out. The ones who can't, get sent packing back to the minors.

In the words of one of the greatest philosophers of our time, I believe it was the great Puff Daddy who once explained that nobody could hold him down.

Only a matter of time for you Chop. And I'll be riding your gravy train with biscuit wheels when it refuels.
