Decided to invest in Rastros. Jetson's team. They seem to have quality starting pitching with depth. Very nice pen, and veteran leadership. They have to pass Wash for wild card, no worries there. Cubs, Mets, Phils behind, might end that way. Playing best ball, right now. Can they catch Cards. Probably not. So I went,

Wild Card 6-1
Pennant 25-1

Just like the A's, there may be some real sleepers out there. Last time found better after post, just hard to find. And worse to get people to honor what they have up! I have a small bet on Cards, to win it all. And heavy bet on Doggers, which I had to stomp out because it was smoldering. Pads actually poured water on it. So NL is just about set. Wild card teams win the World Series, but I cash after winning pennant.

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:

Great minds think alike. Played them fairly large on Monday in those exact same markets and prices. Played Oakland much larger at 40 and 25 to win pennant very big and 80 to win world series a touch smaller. Also threw a very small play on toronto to win division at 125-1 and to win pennant at 200.

I got them a few weeks back in a couple threads on here with incredible odds. I'll take them against any team in baseball during playoff time when only 3 starters matter:

Clemens
Oswalt
Pettite

I didn't play the Wild Card though...I have them to win the NL and also the World Series.

GOOD LUCK Froggy

Hopefully if it hits you can hop off your single level Lillypad and hop onto a double level one with a few extra tadpoles:suomi:

i'm not a believer in the 'stros winning the NL or the Series...not enough hitting in that lineup.

What they lack in hitting they make up for with outstanding pitching. Their offense is vastly improved with a healthy Berkman. The top of their order is just fine.

Taveras is a solid leadoff hitter (.296 with 24 steals)
Biggio batting 2nd (.280 with 16 HRs)
Berkman is healthy batting 3rd (.313 and 43 RBIs despite being on the DL)
Ensberg batting clean up is a MONSTER (.290, 26 HRs, 74 RBIs)

They have enough offense to compliment their pitching...they struggled early in the year but they are fine now.

What is enough hitting? They scored 11, 9, 6 and 8 at Pitt, against some decent pitching. They got 20 runs at Wash next in a 3 game series, including a 14-1 demolition Rocket's last start. Hung a 7 on Philly Monday. This squad gets 6 runs with top 3 starter, they win +80%. Wild Cards have been outstanding performers recently, and at 25-1, I might be able to profit somehow. Especially if they hit wild card 6-1 first. Just looking to tighten up MLB portfolio with 2 more teams. Doggers and pale hose my rabbits, A's and Rastros my closers. Bear in mind, I can cash numerous bets, as I have division odds, no conflicting bets, wild card odds, no conflicting bets, and some Pennant, conflicting with big world series and other big pennant odds. Who knows, it all could blow up in my face, would not be the first time. But I have the perfect FROG setup on the closers. Two bad starting teams who's odds actually went up, flying down the stretch with quality pitching. I have a good feeling on this year's investments. Last year I worked some 9-1 on BoSox and Cards, but this year I have some 25-1 and higher, some for Pennant! You don't need to luck out very often at those prices.

After rereading this I do have conflicting bets on pale hose and Minny. But that was more of a lock in profit, unless Injuns scalp me.

OK, small add on my futures.

snakes to win NL Worst (West) 3-1
Already have Doggers 11-1

Pads looking like complete stiffs. Trade to Bal was about as clownish as you can get. Oops, forgot to ask him, are they on his no trade list, damn. Can't score, pitching is falling apart, with pen. Get crushed by visiting Reds, who could beat nobody on road until visiting Pads. Massive losing streak has them tied for division lead. Giants? Soon as Bonds comes back. Looks like 3 teams, lightest turd floats to the top. If Pads continue to slip, may get a good dog price on them. Sleepy numbers due to Pads falling off a cliff. Do not shop at BCN.

NL West.

preseason SD 2units @ +190

ASB Ari 1unit @ +850

Needless to say I'm digging recent developments. I still like the pads, but both of these pens are a mess, so who knows. I haven't started to shop yet, but this seems like a nice spot for a rehedge?? suggestions? (maybe hope they fall a game or 2 back, then pounce if a nice price)

Great prices lia. I am envious. And they were allowed to stand, could not have been BCN. But if I was that fat on snakes I would rehedge if Pads drop to +2.00-1. I personally am just going to let them ride unless Pads keep losing and they make past 3-1. I am small working in. But I have no idea where the bottom is for these Pads. As far as getting a good price, I was asleep here. Did the best I could today.

I saw snakes even higher than that, just watched it drop. Nice catch.:103631605
