Jake's "Battle Back from 20 Down" Plays - MLB Monday April 30th

JakeT. · Apr 30, 2007

Record: 61-75
Profit: -16.62

Made a nice chunk of change last time out so let's see if it continues.

Predicted AL Lines:

Detroit -155, U9 -115
Toronto -220, U9.5 -120
LAA -140, 9 Pk

Bets:

Kansas City Royals +146
Pitchers: Perez/Lackey

Lackey has had some struggles on the road and KC can put up runs at home. With Perez, you really don't know what you will get but he put in a good outing last time and should do okay against an Anaheim club that may be without Garret Anderson. The Angels haven't thrived on the lefties or hit well on the road this year and at +146, I'll hope KC's pen holds up.

JakeT. · Apr 30, 2007

Predicted NL Lines:

Cubs -115, U7.5 -125
Braves -135, 8.5 Pk
Milwaukee -120, 8 Pk

Bets:

Pittsburgh Pirates +115
Cubs/Pirates Under 8 -115
Pitchers: Hill/Duke

Hill has been almost unhittable and Duke has dominated this Cubs lineup time and time again. Neither team can touch lefties so far this year and Pittsburgh can't touch anyone. Whoever can get to 3 runs will likely win a low-scoring game and both of these starters should go deep.

Philadelphia Phillies +130
Pitchers: Lieber/Hudson

Hudson has been dealing like crazy but Philly is finally scoring some runs and should put up a few here. Lieber dominated the free-swinging Braves twice last year and looks to be in very good form after two dominating outings. Gotta like the road fav with the better bats.

St Louis Cardinals +116
Pitchers: Wells/Suppan

JakeT. · Apr 30, 2007

Predicted NL Lines:

SD -180, U7.5 -125
LAD Pk, U7.5 -120
SF -130, U8.5 -115

Bets:

Washington Nationals +230
Pitchers: Patterson/Peavy

Dodgers/DBacks Under 7.5 -105
Pitchers: Wolf/Webb

Pitchers: Lieber/Hudson

"Hudson has been dealing like crazy but Philly is finally scoring some runs and should put up a few here. Lieber dominated the free-swinging Braves twice last year and looks to be in very good form after two dominating outings. Gotta like the road fav with the better bats."

Are you sure the Phillies are a road favorite? Your line above shows otherwise.

Haha thanks Sprinky damnit. Meant road dog. I am hurrying through the writeups lately. Proofreading is not my forte'.

4-5 +.4 tonight thanks to Washington holding on. The grind continues.
