Wednesday Baseball

Went ahead and scooped up about 4 units yesterday, but lost about a unit and a half overall after trailing some other picks. Had a bad read on the Marlins game last night, but drilled the rest of the card Peter North style. I'm sticking with my own picks today to get yesterday's cash back and this is the card to do it.

(4 units) Reds at Mets OV 9
Milton at Glavine. Milton is a bulldog-type of competitor, and I love betting this guy when he pitches at home. But the road is a different story. He's given up 8 HRs in just 65 road At Bats. For all the math majors out there he gives up a long ball everytime through the lineup on the road. He's shown a complete inability to get out of jams with just 6 strikeouts on the road, and opponents are batting .415/.452/.862. Everybody knows about Glavine's sub-par year thus far including his inability to get out of the 4th inning in his opening start vs. the Reds this year. I think one of these pitchers will pitch very poorly and one of these teams will come close to getting the over on their own.

ERGGG! Sorry for the late post on this one. More later.

********(8 units) Red Sox/A's OV 9.5
2 pitchers that havn't thrown in awhile get thrown into the fire in the 3rd game of a series against 2 clubs that can score. Also, a day game so hitters are able to see spin and rotation of the pitches out of the hand better and identify pitches quicker. From experience, this is a tough assignment for a pitcher. Putting roughly 8% of my bankroll on this game.

Got the +8 unit winner on the Over in the 1st 3 innings so avoid the heart attack! Picked up another +4 units on the Mets/Reds over. Got the White Sox -1.5 for another +2.30 units.

(3-0) +16.30 Units on the day!

Another guaranteed winning day regardless of what happens to the card. +27 units the past 6 days.

Sorry for patting myself on the back but I get a little emotional when I increase my account by 16% in one day!

I'm gonna go drown myself in Captain Morgan. :drink: :toast:

SWEET. soo....do you still like the yankees to keep the streak alive?

Boxslayer · May 18, 2005

Yes I do. But not at that price. That's why I parlayed it. I think your play is either Yankees -1 or -1.5 or nothing. And you're laying runs, so it's chalky, so I wouldn't put more than 2 units on it.

I have them to close out the parlay, so I'm just letting it ride as is as Baltimore is winning 4-3.
