25-13, +22.12

Another winning day at 4-2 yesterday.

1* Milwaukee Brewers -108

Gotta like the value on the Brewers here, and I'll play them again with similiar reasoning as I laid out a few days ago before they were rained out. Ben Sheets steps up in big games, and I feel he and the Brewers take this Sunday game seriously vs. the defending champs and the chance to take a road series from them. Sheets was dominant on Team USA, and he can dominate any lineup when the stakes are high. He has a chance to exercise his past demons vs. the Cards and take advantage of their lack of offense right now. Cards are playing .500 baseball right now, their offense is struggling and you get a price of -108 on one of the best pitchers in the National League vs. a guy coming off the pitching performance of his career last game. Braden Looper is a career reliever, and I always look to fade pitchers after one of the greatest performances of their career. It is natural that they should suffer a let down or come back down to earth a bit, and that should be the case here today, especially with Looper getting deeper and deeper to each and every start - he charters further into unfamiliar territory of continuing to go out and pace himself.

1* Florida Marlins +160

Tremendous value on Scott Olsen today, one of the better young left-handers in baseball. Braves could be in the midst of a little funk, losin to the Nationals, then getting blown out by the Marlins, rain out prevented them from getting right back on the field the next day to answer, and overall their hot start has them completely overvalued in this game - especially when you factor in the name of Tim Hudson. A large portion of my capping is finding value in young pitchers, especially when they face off vs. a big name pitcher - who is on the downside of his career. That is exactly what we have here today. The only reason I am keeping this play a little lower at 1* is because of the Marlins blowing the Braves out last game and my "mini-system" that I described in yesterday's post. Look for the Marlins to battle in this game and continue their hot hitting.

Marlins 6

Good luck BigCat.

2* Devilrays/Twins under 10 -110

Fading the over after the big offensive output yesterday. Always helps to have a guy like Boof going for the Twinkies. System is 1-0 after the Sox/Angels stayed under yesterday.

2* Detroit Tigers 1st 5 innings -123

Towers has been the worst pitcher in the big leagues has past 10 starts. He is another soft tossing righty that has a hard time being successful unless he is at the top of his game with location and movement. He's in a bad place confidence -wise right now, and this Tiger lineup is scrappy. They battled yesterday, continuing to answer despite going down big, and found a way to win. Today, I think Detroit picks up where they left off, and jumps on top early. Blue Jays have some injuries as well, particularly Troy Glaus is still out. Robertson is TOUGH on lefties, so look for some key hitters on the Blue Jays such as Overbay to struggle.

2* Oakland A's -106
1* Oakland A's -1.5 +185


Love getting a freakin stud pitcher like Harden at this price vs. the older version of Pettite on the downside of his career. Yankees are 0-3 so far on get-away day this year, and were 0-3 vs. the A's on get-away day last season.


1* Texas Rangers -107

Ramirez's last start was a couple pitches shy of an official game but was rained out. He steps into this game out of rhythm, facing a good Texas lineup. Ramirez isnt particularly tough on left-handed hitters, so no worries there. Although he is making a home start, he is completely unfamiliar with this stadium.

Now i see why Olsen's numbers against the braves are awful. All in his head. Still early.

Chipper with a 3 run bomb

How bout that relay throw from the outfield going by three Marlins including the catcher that let Hudson score from 3rd? Crazy play.

Olsen and the Marlins are just self-destructing.

My rebound after a blowout system kept the play small at 1*, but still Olsen is a good pitcher, but he and this whole Marlin team have just self destructed. It started with them letting Hudson off the hook every inning.

Right when Miguel traded the double play for the run scored, I knew this was gonna go the other way. Then the double play with Chipper at 1st base. Then Olsen walks the bases loaded. Gives up a single, relay gets through all 3 guys, then an 0-2 homer. Just brutal turn of events.

We need Robertson to shut them down in the bottom of the 5th here so we can get that push...
