Last time out was about the worst case scenario for a day with everything going against me. Just weird stuff happening and everything screwing me. Time to get back on the grind and make it back today. Sorry for last time everyone.

Yesterday: 2-7 -6.48

Overall Record: 22-23 -2.77

Favorites: 4-11 -10.53
Underdogs: 11-6 +7.78
Overs: 5-3 +2.03
Unders: 2-3 -1.05
Parlay: 0-1 -1

My lines:

Cubs -110, U8.5 -112
Phillies -140, O9.5 -116
White Sox -140, 9 Pk

Chicago White Sox -108
Pitchers: Danks/Niemenn

Danks has owned this Tampa team and their offense will have issues with Evan Longoria missing today's game because of a death in the family. Niemenn is not a good pitcher and he likes to give up HRs and is facing a HR-hitting team.

My lines:

Mets -115, U7.5 -114
Twins Pk, U7.5 -117

Bets:

San Diego Padres +118
Pitchers: Peavy/Maine

Both guys are likely to do well and you have to like one of the best pitcher's in the game at +118.

Minnesota Twins +124

Pitchers: Liriano/Halladay

Halladay has had some issues in this park... nothing big but still subpar outings for him. Liriano is extremely talented and I like the fact that the Jays have never faced him before. Solid home dog.

My lines:

Dodgers -145, O9 -114
Angels -135, U8.5 -117

Bets:

San Francisco Giants +162

Pitchers: Zito/Stults

Zito has a very good history against this Dodger team (even when he was struggling last year) and has a chance to put in some quality innings. Stults looked great in his debut but had a horrible spring and was only average in AAA last year. Overlay.

Mariners/Angels Under 8.5 +105
Pitchers: Saunders/Jakubauskas

Saunders is a solid pitcher who has done very well in Seattle over his career and the Mariners have very little quality bats without Ichiro in there. Jakubauskas is a late bloomer who only recently started to do well and the fact he is making his first start should be enough to confuse the Angels enough to keep this under. Angels not hitting well on the road at all.

On the White Sox myself...live bats facing a pitcher not named Galarraga. GL today.

2-0 +2.18 but the Twins give up 7 runs (so far) the second the Twins pull Liriano out of a 1-1 game. Very awesome. Fuckers.
