Well, was one ground ball away from a stellar night. Instead, it's 3-3 and down 40 grocery dollars. Rolen, who did all his work at the plate, apparently had the OVER. Because with one out and the Cards up 4-2 in the ninth, the six-time Gold Glove winner raised up on what was about to be an easy 5-4-3 game-ending double play. RL and ML down the tubes, along with 1775 of my money. Now 93-124-5 and down 8371 on the season. Time to press onward.
Following pops here on Atlanta UNDER. Figuring the ump is DeMuth and nothing has changed from last time, got a decent price here and the pitching matchup is the same.
The play: UNDER 9 Game 1 Zona/ATL (write-in, No. 931-932) -110 - 440 to win 400
Going with the underdog Halos to stay hot in Cleveland. Escobar pitched well enough to win in his last two starts. On Sunday against the Orioles he left in the seventh inning ahead 4-3, but wound up on the losing end. He was charged with five runs and gave up eight hits, many of which were check swings and 'excuse-me' hits. Escobar said that if he can throw as well as he did in that game every game he would be happy. Meanwhile, Lee went into a funk in May, and his last start was easily his worst of the season. Facing the White Sox Monday, Lee gave up seven runs on eight hits with one walk and no strikeouts over just 2 2/3 innings. For the month of May, he went 1-4 with an 8.04 ERA. Anaheim is 16-6 in Cleveland since 2001, and they're giving me plus-money again today with the hot 'Halos, so I'll bite.
The play: Anaheim plus 112 - 400 to win 448
Was ready to back Glavine at nearly unplayable (haha) odds last night and I'll try it again in Game 2. Glavine's last loss came at Frisco in a game where he struggled early and battled, giving the Mets a chance but they couldn't figure out Cain that day. He goes against Jamey Wright in the second game. Wright had his shortest outing of the season Sunday against the Rockies. He went just 3 2/3 innings and gave up six runs on 10 hits. Wright will look to get his sinker back, but has not done well against the Mets and is 1-3 in his career with a 5.63 ERA. No Bonds for Frisco in Game 2.
The play: Mets -178 - 356 to win 200
Mets -1.5 runs plus 123 - 300 to win 369
Rusch was great in his relief effort last time, striking out nine in four innings and now returns to the rotation, where he's 1-4 with an ERA over 8. Mulder has been victimized all season by the longball and the Cubs could likely touch him up for a few. Then the pens get to get involved after a 14-inning game where they all worked last night. Reilly calling 63.5 percent strikes this season but over/under is 7-4 so it's a tough read. Will pass for now.
Going with OVER in Cleveland, per recommendation from Wire. Hallion is neutral and the Angels have been hitting lately, Lee has been bad. Poker players are against me, and have beaten me like a drum when I'm up against them but I bit again.
The plays: OVER 9 - 115 - 230 to win 200
2teams ANA +108, OVER 9.5 +110 - 400 to win 1347.20
Lean to Arizona in Game 2 with Vargas going against Thomson, two pitchers who are going in opposite directions but Thomson wasn't that bad last time out and Vargas has a lofty ERA for someone who is 5-2...
Yanks tough as 2-dollar steak in day games (8-0 on road in 06) but can't recommend with all the illnesses and injuries, even against a rookie.
Will try the OVER in Detroit. Bonderman allowed eight singles over 7 1/3 innings against the Yankees on Memorial Day, but those hits led to four runs in a 4-0 loss, dropping him to 1-4 at Comerica Park this season. He's 2-4 with a 6.25 ERA in six career starts against the Red Sox. Wakefield came off perhaps his best outing of the season last time out. Gibson (7-5, 61.0 percent strikes, slight O in the past) behind the plate.
THe plays: Boston plus 105 - 400 to win 420
Boston/DET OVER 9.5 plus 106 - 300 to win 318
2teams- BOS plus 102, OVER 9.5 even - 300 to win 912
That's it for the day, but loading up on Phoenix tonight at PICK against Dallas, and also took them plus 600 to win the series. Wish me luck...
