Boston -154 (Beckett) 3 Units Call me a sucker but I am going to ride Beckett... 9-1 in games he has started and this number is low. The NL isn't half as good as the AL and these are two good teams from both leagues playing a little out of their league right now. But I will take the AL team and I will take one of the best and safest pitchers to best on at this number...

Anaheim -127 (Colon) 5 Units Am I missing something. I never have 5* plays really but I guess since I am not betting as much money I have a few more of them. But am I missing something? Sorry Kip you used to be my favorite player in baseball when you were on the Chi Sox but you are awful. He can have good starts at times but he has no confidence in himself at all right now. Colon is a proven winner and the Angels are clearly the better team. I'll take them with this number.

Milwaukee -133 (Capuano) 2 Units Look at me laying chalk, so unlike me. I love Capuano the Rangers blow. Is that good enough? Milwaukee is clearly the better team and have by far the better pitcher on the hill IMO... So give me dem Brew Crew and I will drink a few beers for you guys.

Toronto +183 (Mcgowan) 2 Units Cool name I'll take him. Not to add they are the better offensive team and love fastballs. Penny pitches in the NL so his ERA is way below where it should be. He is a solid pitcher but can get hit by fastball hitting teams. I think Mcgowan can hold the Dodgers down... Also the Dodgers can't be feeling to hot after tonight haha

Colorado - 105 (Francis) 1 Unit I love Jeff Francis.

GL on the plays...just a few thoughts, why i stayed away from some of the plays:

Boston: Hard to fade a team that's 9-1 in their last 10, plays well at home, although Boston bats really, really well vs. lefties. No DH could hurt them.

Anaheim: Colon has had 2 terrible outings in a row, hopefully he's better with some rest for his tendinitis or whatever he has. STL definitely playing better ball lately but they could be a strong fade.

Milwaukee: Goddamn, for some reason Texas just scares me vs. lefties. Tejada's got some good stuff but has been too inconsistent.

Toronto: I love Penny, I can't fade him.

Colorado: Played a tough series vs. Houston and have to turn around and travel to the east coast to play a rested B'More squad. I'd be on B'more if Roberts wasn't questionable.

I don't know why I wrote any of this, but I read your thread first after posting my plays and felt like having a discussion. With my cock. It's go time. Punishment will be delivered.

GL on the plays, least we're not on opposite sides of anything.

I agree with everything you say pretty much and that is what makes me a moron and a loser...

But in all honesty I find negatives to every game and just try to see what has the most positives...

SO HARD TO FADE A 9-1 team... not really fading them pretty much just betting the other team to beat the good team....

Colon I don't feel will have back to back bad starts but who knows.

haha you're giving me too much credit, i'm in the category of morons undoubtedly.

I don't want to touch that Boston game until I see a lineup card. Guessing Ortiz sits vs. Davis (who has been the shit lately, amazing), Youk at 1st, Lowell at 3rd.

This might be the most hyped series of the year for the D-Backs fans thus far.

Yeah... but could the young D Backs choke? Who knows... probably a crap shoot on a bigger play for me... I should update my record but I feel the Faders might not fade and if one guy follows I will feel bad when he loses all his money even if it is 8 dollars and 34 cents that he stole from a kid at school...

Oh trust me I'm not sold on the D-Backs, I don't know how that lineup has done what it's done...I'm just saying that in this instance there were more reasons for me to stay away than press it...

You could probably be dead on here---GL

But probably not haha... Fucked up thing is I follow baseball closer then I do college hoops... by the way make your way over to the college hoops forum... me and Good Call involved in a little conversation but he hasn't responded yet I think he gave up on his thread he started but it is a good one... check it out see what you think and lend an opinion... see if we can get some ideas floating around there...
