Then why is he an underdog here? I know why; Its because he has been as fortunate as a pitcher can be and the book knows it. He continually gets himself into jams with 1, or no outs in all of his last 5 games. Brewers offensively dominated that Nats yesterday and should keep rolling today. Not to mention Sheets is on the mound at home. I pick and choose my spots and IMO. The Brewers, Twins, and Indians are as strong as they come.5teamparlay said:
Paul Byrd and Freddy Garcia also fall into nearly the same situation as Livan Hernandez, although Byrd doesn't walk many people, but his opponents always seem to hit the ball hard. The Twins got to him last week abit, and couldn't hold on. They were on a roadtrip butt oday they are at home and they will get it done.
The Indians not scoring yesterday, is a bit discouraging, but Freddy Garcia has control problems that have been growing wilder and wilder. Last few it has really shown. How many times can a guy throw the ball to the backstop.lol Chisox also couldn't swing the bat well yesterday and may not be able to put the usuall 8-10 runs they usually give Garcia. Which is a big reason for his great record. Indians destroy the Whitesox tonight.
Lastly, the Mariners just ended the first half of the season sweeping the Angels at home. That is a reminder of how good this team can be. They have been underachieving all year and last night did it again. Tonight they should easily bounce back against Lopez who looked like the batting cages against the Yankees. No way his mojo is up today. Joel can be a force on the mound, and is likely to have a good start to the second half of the season. Orioles bow down tonight, Mariners get the win at home.

Not really, I think him being the favorite tells me a bunch. Garcia has had a great year, (record wise) Sabathia has not, but this line was made to bring as much money in. IMO and its working to perfection, with almost 70% of the money on the Chisox. Vegas expects a gem from C.C. or a very high scoring game. I strongly believe it is the first of the two. This is also a play "against" Freddy, so everything lines up. Indians get the bats going today.edub69 said:

Good luck bro, I've been burned by C.C. this year so I am afraid to pull the trigger. He's usually a much heavier favorite than he is today.
The vape is on the fritz man, you know somewhere I can get it fixed? Heating coil isn't getting any power for some reason. Not going to the bash unfortunately, I'll be in Yellowstone that weekend "getting in touch with nature". Plus that would be like my 6th trip to Vegas this year and I still have to go back in October for a bachelor party/NCAA/NFL gambling weekend.

I put very little into numbers, besides HP umpire stats, I try to wager based on PERSONALY WATCHING a team and particular pitcher in previous games and if something stand out to me about a pitcher catcher combonation or team hitting streaks cold and hot. I try to jump in. Whitesox have a good team but have been overachieving and I will be fading them when near a pickem and or I can get + money the whole second half of the season GLMarinersFan said:
Hey RNIC5148, I don't have a record here. I only post plays here when I think Ive got winners. I am up for the year, but barely because of a cold streak ending out of the first half of the season. I took the last couple weeks off. I am hoping to cash in tonight and probably wait acouple of days to jump in again.RNIC5148 said:
I agree on not looking at numbers to an extent as would be the case of me taking the Giants last night even though Bucsfan picked them as his fav play, first time I have not gone with Bucsfan fav play as well, just think Schmidt is rounding into shape his last 3-4 starts and the Dodgers are crippled with injuries.
I watched Garcia alot in Seattle and he always pitched well against the Indians so I am a little lerrie but can see why you would take them and Sabathia and on a 2 game losing streak......would like to ask why no action on the TB-Toronto game? 4 game losing streak for the Jays and Nomo pitching for TB, mind you have checked the lines on the game so that could be your reason......good luck today as well.

I know the TB Toronto game falls into a very good system for the BlueJays but, it just didn't stand out to me. Many on the Jays also, but they should win this one. Nomo is either really good or really bad also. These four are it for me.
