C-Gold's picks, I was a bad 1-3 yesterday.

Yesterday the title of my thread had a cocky headline and the gambling gods punished me with a 1-3 record -2 units exactly. I could have even gone 0-4 if Hanley Ramirez didn't help get an insurance run to beat the Nationals 4-2 when I had the Marlins RL at exactly +100. I had wanted to add the SF Giants with Line cum too but I didn't but oh well, I'll try and win my money today...

Today
Pirates +119
Blue Jays +109
Cards RL +105
Mets -130
D-Backs -138


Pirates: I think the pitching matchup is pretty even, the Chubs are cold, I am chasing yesterday's loss, the Chubs aren't that good on the road, the Pirates have a home record better than you'd think... The price seems pretty good on what seems almost like a coin flip.

Jays: Another team I am chasing. The Jays/Rays have similar records except Tampa is below .500 on the road, and the Jays are better at home. I think Richmond will give them a chance, Matt Garza is a good ball, and I'm chasing this one too in a game that should be close to 50/50 the price is right.

STL RL: I have Randy Johnson on my fantasy team and he's great to spot start at home against crappy NL West offenses, but I think Carpenter gets it done today. The Giants don't score runs on the road and Chris Carpenter won't make it any easier. Randy isn't the HOF-er we know, he can be highly productive but I think STL has a better than 50% chance of winning this game by 2 or more tonight.

Mets -130: Santana hasn't been Santana but he is dominant and I am chasing the Mets again. Santana -130 seems like a good price.

Arizona: The only D-Backs pitchers I'd back would be Haren and Max S ( who I faded and won against last start). Haren is my fantasy ace and I think he beats that girly haired B. Arroyo tonight.

I never liked Arizona's hitting but I guess they aren't THAT bad and the team has won some games on the road... They don't get dramattically worse on the road and they have one of the best pitchers in baseball on the hill tonight.


MIGHT further add in the later games
KC/Minny UNDER
Texas/Angels UNDER ( althought they have one of the best OVER umps in the game calling that one....)



GL

good luck today Cgold.. i like be careful that cards rl might be tough..

Blue Jays and their out of nowhere pitcher look like shit from the get go. They had some couple on their honey moon at the game. Whoopdie shit.

ADD
Houston +101


The early games look decent for me thus far, minus the blow jays lozing to gonzo nosed garza.

I'm on this one huge tonight. Good luck.

Let's watch it at Champs in Reston and make some money.

Then I could break a barstool over your head when you say that Jason Campbell has an IQ above 87 and that Zorn will get the Deadskins to do anything this year...


Mike Hampton = known commodity and good hitting pitcher, the guy is just a fucking gamer.
Deuche for the other team... unproven.

HaHa. Good luck, C-Gold.

Good luck, you aren't a bad guy until the NFL season. I hope you make some money so I could steal it from you when you bet on that retarded QB of yours.

Jason Campbell pickels = money in my pocket.

GL tonight.

I do like what my team did on defense this draft. However, they did nothing on offense. This is Cambell's last try. If he doesn't get in done within the first 5 games, I say give Colt a try. By the way, it will be my team vs your team in the opener. Do you think the Giants will cover that 6.5 spread?

Yes I do, it isn't my favorite lean though. It might be good to do in a 6 point teaser where you only need them to win...

If you have read anything I have ever written I don't think very highly of Jason Campbell. I think his mechanics don't suit your offense, I think he's lazy, he thinks slow, has a slow release, and although he has a strong arm for those 1-2 play action chances you take downfield, he doesn't throw an accurate deep ball.... He's Byron Leftwhich to me.

He can drop back and throw sideways, with the occasional predetermined play action pass... but he can't drop back and beat you with the throws to move the chains downfield... so what good is he in a west coast offense?

At least you realize that the excuse list is over, if he can't produce now he never will... I think he will be a backup QB for life after you guys get rid of him... A guy like Byron Leftwhich is now...

A 1st round pick... that doesn't have it... isn't willing to work hard enough... lazy... not that smart... but that can be a backup and play the dink/dunk game.

Byron has bounced around with how many teams since Jack Del Rio told him to shove it?

good win on the pirates but lilly vs ohlendorf a even pitching matchup? I have no clue how u came up with that one
