Check my work but the individuals who came closes in each game are as follows, first the opener from Pinnacle and then the RX poster and their guess:


Minnesota -193 ** DR03 / Makermakermus -185

NYY -139 ** Parlay Pete / The Batman -140

CWS -122 ** Bznofx19 / Chuck Franklin -123


Not bad guys, lot of others were right around it as well. We know who's plays to follow now, LOL. We'll do it once again for those interested, will be posting Friday games in just one second, going to ESPN to get them now.

Santana owns me too. If I play him he gets beat, if I play against him he's unhittable. I don't even touch his games any more. That's one reason I threw him in there Jman, I remember hearing you say he had your number too, LOL.

will have to take my time with these they are alot harder. Not sure I agree with the first two guys on the Red Sox, it has to be over -130 I think. Even Angels could be higher. Give me some time on these. in the immoratal words od Arnold "I'll be back"

I went against him in Oakland and had a great price, even with Sarloos pitching...the A's led the game the whole way until the 8th.

i dont think clement will be starting in that game now that there was a rainout...but still cap it as if he is and if there is a pitching chance we won't count that game...

p.s.- this post should not drop to the second page IMO...

about an hour before the lines go up...and only a whopping 6 participants for today..i guess this post is out of place, maybe we should do this at the Dr. Phil message board, there might be more people interested in such an idea, :lolBIG:

forgot to post but my line with St.Louis( had around -115) is alot lower. The problem is I have graded them lower all year and usually lost.
