Josh Hamilton at 3-1

The guy is a lefty and Yankee Stadium is tailored for lefties. Also, when he was coming up, his batting practice sessions were the stuff of legend. He routinely crushed the ball and is now stronger than ever. He's the right choice.

There is a little value on Braun at 8-1 as well.

Nerves could be Hamilton's undoing.

Berkman's a lefty.

I like Berkman or Morneau to win, but I most likely won't play anything so GL. Does anyone know if they offer matchups for this thing?

Was listening to the Sunday Night Game on the Radio and Dave "soup" Campbell reported that Berkman would be batting right handed. The short porch in Left field favors righties vs lefties.....Go figure. Im laying down the Green on Utley.

Utley seems like a good fit to me, but who knows.

I will post my thoughts tomorrow hopefully. Have done very well at this over the years, led by Garrett Anderson at 20-1 a few years back. This thing isn't about power, it is about rythmic swings.

Shorter porch is in right field. How do you figure that favors righties at all?

I think Hamilton dominates but I almost bet on Braun just because I think he is a top 4 type participant here. Value on him for sure.

GL to us. :toast:
