Rough evening last night after a promising start. Stayed pretty much even yesterday on my units. Would like to get past that 20 unit mark again. Definitely not in love with today's card like I was with yesterday's, but still a little value out there. Don't have as much time today, so these may be shorter than usual.

NY Mets -138: Mets are playing solid ball right now, and the Marlins are starting to come back to Earth. Hernandez goes for NY tonight and I expect a much better performance than his bomb against the Nats. Throughout his career, April has been one of his better months. And so far this, he's thrown 2 very solid games on the road. The way the Mets are playing, I wouldn't be surprised by another 2-4 inning performance from Van Dyke today. 1.38 units to win 1.

San Francisco +101: Noah Lowry is just flat out a much better pitcher at home. And Kip Wells is terrible on the road. Last year he put up a 7.20 ERA, a 2.00 WHIP, and a whopping .347 BAA on the road. The Giants are finally starting to play well and the Cards have yet to impress me this year. 1 unit to win 1.01.

Chicago (NL) -115: Going back to the Cubs one more time. While Zambrano is their ace in name, Hill has been their actual ace this year. He had problems on the road last year, but I think he's progressed and become a very solid #2 guy, with potential to be a #1. 1.15 units to win 1.

Chicago (AL) -132: Have to go back to the other Chicago team as well. I've been waiting for them to wake up and they finally did. The no hitter was just what this team needed and I think they're going to continue to improve against a bad starter in Vincent Padilla. Vazquez has looked solid this year and I can't see the Rangers' sorry offense being the one to get to him. 1.32 units to win 1.

Leans on Boston, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Colorado, and one or two others. May be back with something else, but not sure if I'll play them. BOL to everyone.

Boston +171: Simply put, I think the line is too high. Sure . . Tavarez is pitching for Boston and Halladay is going for the Jays. But the Sox have always been able to hit Halladay and I believe the Sox have batted close to .280 against him. And it's not like Toronto has the offense that will definitely take advantage of Boston's #5 starter (who has a 3.79 ERA in 10 appearances in the Rogers Center). Just don't think we'll often get the Sox at this number against a pitcher they have proven they can hit hard. Playing it small though. 0.50 units to win 0.86.

Last minute additions for the day games.

Cleveland +150: Just can't stay away, but I think Cleveland will pull this one out. Yanks are sending Rasner to the mound and have Nieves behind the plate. Without Posada, I think the young starter may struggle. 1 unit to win 1.50.

Philadelphia -123: Philly choked for me yesterday, but I'll go back to them today as well. Patterson has not proven that he can pitch in the bigs since his season ending injury. Until he does, he's a fade for me. 1.23 units to win 1.

Its not so much that I like Wash today as much as my distaste for how Philly is playing. They cant seem to get a big hit and im not seeing any emotion from them. They burned me as well last night

Yeah, I just think that a guy pitching as badly as Patterson has so far is just what the doctor ordered. So far so good in the first, but I'm definitely not overly confident.

Jibba you may want to go back and check that record.

Favorites 30-13 (+12.10 units) 2-3 yesterday -1.77 units
Underdogs 10-6 (+6.31 units) 3-2 yesterday +1.64 units

Cheating yourself on record however over on the units.

Hmmm I did do it quickly as I'm busy as hell today. Usually get out the calclulator along with the previous day's thread. Thanks for the catch. So just so I know exactly what you mean, I shorted myself on the record but listed my units as too high? I appreciate the help man.

No problem man hope you didn't take my reply the wrong way. I just didn't want you to cheat yourself out of a win.

I know how that goes. That's why I haven't switched sides yet with the Cubs. :lol:

Adding:

San Diego -185: I really wish I hadn't waited on this one, as I think in the back of my head I knew I'd end up taking it. So I lost about 10 cents worth of juice by not being quick on the trigger. I just don't see Peavy losing at home here and am willing to lay the chalk. I know he hasn't been great against the D-Backs in the past, but this kid just gets better and better every time I see him. 1.85 units to win 1.
