Well, not a bad day yesterday all in all. If you followed my units, you made a profit even though we went 1-1. Not to cry over spilt milk, but that SD game should have gone over except for some fluke defensive gems and a couple of doubles that went foul. But that's baseball.

Onward and upward we go! This pick is solid and I'm excited to see everyone following my picks win some money today!! Minny took a tough loss yesterday to the A's with their Ace stud on the mound. Some would say this is a huge blow to their psyche from which they will not be able to recover. I disagree. This team is resilient. They have that "it" factor along with talent. Bonser is young an inexperienced in the playoffs. But think off all the same types of pitchers who made a name for themselves in this spotlight. Bonser will be one of those pitchers. Tomorrow, the papers will read "Boof for President." - well, maybe not yet. But he has been pitching very consistently throughout the latter part of the season. He's in front of the home crowd and his opponent is Loiza....13 + ERA in one appearance against Minny. Not a scary presence on the mound.

With a better pitcher on the mound for Oak, I might lay off this one. But, this is a must win for Minny at home. Take it to the bank.:money8:

Minny -135 2.5 Units

GL ALL!!

Tuff call... inexperienced rookie in a must-win situation, in front of the home town fans vs a mediocre journeyman pitcher (who moved into the game 2 slot) who pitched okay down the stretch. Twins have the better overall offense, but the A's have a game-breaker in Frank Thomas.
I like the Twins, but I'll just watch this one.

Dead $$$$ you better check your stats. (Mediocre journeyman pitcher). Did your realize that Loiaza was a Cy young Runner up two years ago. I will agree that he had a bad year this year, but that statement was ridiculous. I think the OVER 9 is the Play here..

Good luck,

I'm not sure I would call Thomas a gamebreaker. He's all or nothing. He got his Two HR's yesterday, so today his bat will take the day off.

Loaiza with a 5+ era in the metrodome. I believe this is the highest era among visiting starting pitchers @ Minesota. The lefties in the twins lineup will get to him. Plus I think Oakland becomes content with getting one in Minesota.

I like the Twins and Bonser in this spot as well. Loaiza cost me money in mid September when I bet against him and he had a very good outing against the White Sox but he then finished with 2 poor outings. I think the Twins get to him at home in must win situation. Also like small play on the over.

Loazia pitched better than santana for about two months after the all star break.He either gave up 1 run or no runs pitching 8 or 9 innings game after game after game.I could understand betting Bonser at a pick,but -150 is insane.
