MistaFlava's 2007 MLB Record: 43-47 (-17.72 Units)
My record includes all the whacky plays I made this season and all the parlays and just about anything I posted. I am back to my old style of baseball capping and betting it seems to be paying off as im coming off a 3-0 night last night where not only did I play these online but I played a $100 three team parlay ticket at the local convenience store (as allowed by the Government-run sports lottery we have here) and it was a winner. It was a good night all around, tough to watch game scores from a phone but I had a good time. Now lets make some more cash.

Toronto Blue Jays ML -119 (1 Unit)
This is a great spot for the Blue Jays. The season is not looking good right now for these guys but if they are ever going to make a run at the top spot in the Division or more realistically the wildcard spot in the AL, they have to keep winning games and they have to go on a few streaks. They have been one of the least consistent teams in MLB over the last decaded as in they can't put together long strings of wins. Well I think something may have changed this team the other night when they were on their way to another loss down 8-6 in the 10th inning before pulling a three run comeback and winning that game. That along with the fact that Vernon Wells is batting in the 1 spot of the order, things have turned for the better and the Jays seem to have woken up. Today they get to face Josh Fogg who has not pitched well. Dustin McGowan had been doing very well until his last few starts so I really like him in a bounce back spot from that Dodgers loss last week. This is somewhat of a must win for the Jays because like I said, if they are ever going to come together as a team, its going to be over the next few weeks and that includes winning this game.
Cleveland Indians ML -155 (1 Unit)
I know I probably didn't deserve to win that game on the Indians last night but a win is a win and I think these can get things together and win this afternoon affair. The Nats, as well as they have played at times this year, are a pretty damn good fade against right handed pitchers at home as they score something like only 3.5 runs per home game versus right handed pitchers like Westbrook. Simontacchi has been getting rocked lately so this dormant Cleveland offense could very well have a breakout game and score a bunch of runs for once. Half this offense (well more than half) is asleep at the wheel right now and Simontacchi has an ERA of 7.64 and a WHIP of 1.81 in his last three starts. Although Westbrook has not pitched all that much better, the team is 3-0 in his last three starts and they have supported him with 6.0 runs of offense per game in those starts. Cleveland is 15-6 this season in Game 3 of a series and seeing how this is the rubber match, I think they get the job done and we get a solid outing from Westbrook for once. The price is a bit steep but we all know this offense is a sleeping giant right now and Simontacchi has been horrendous.
Milwaukee Brewers ML -175 (1 Unit)
I was on the Brew Crew last night and I am on the Brew Crew again this afternoon in an attempt to ride of the best home teams in MLB and ride one of the hottest overall teams in MLB. Fresh off the heals of a San Francisco sweep at home last week, the Brewers are about to pull off another sweep of the Royals this time making it the fourt straight series that they are in a position to sweep (failed to do it against Minnesota and Detroit on the road). This team is red hot and cashing our wagers left and right the last few weeks. I mentioned this a few times already the last week or so that the Brewers love facing lefties and the Brewers have crushed almost every lefty they have seen at home this season for 6.5 runs or more per home game versus an LHP. Odalis Perez is on the mound for the Royals and he is one of the worst road lefties in the Majors right now. Odalis has an ERA of 7.53 and a WHIP of 2.16 in his last three starts where he has allowed 23 hits in only 14.1 innings of work. I like that Gallardo kid on the mound for the Brewers. He looked good in his first MLB start against the Giants and his confidence should be just as high in this game against a pathetic Kansas City team that doesn't hit much more than those Giants.
