Had a rough outing yesterday but the Angels win stopped the bleeding.. Gotta show more discipline today on the diamonds.. So let's see how these play out today.. Don't usually put up analysis but I wanna convince myself that these really were smart plays instead of chasers. :ohno:

Cleveland -1 [-150]
[A's have just been godawful against Cleveland this series and I'd like to back the better hitting team w/ their ace on the mound, hopefully no BP implosions but if Lee takes the game deep, not too much to worry about]

1st Half Over 4.5 for StL/Cinnci [-110]
[Cinnci seems to be hitting well in the series and the Cardinals [esp. Pujols] lit up Arroyo in his only start against them this year giving up 5 runs in 5 1/3 innings.. also gave up 6 runs and 10 hits to the Dbacks in 5 1/3 innings on Tuesday]

Chisox +104
[Kinda pissed about their handing the game over yesterday but I think the Sox bats come out strong again today against Bannister. Chicago roughed up Bannister for seven runs in five innings of an 11-2 victory over the Royals on May 29 and has lost his last three outings versus the White Sox and is 2-4 with an 8.15 ERA in 10 starts against them. Clayton Richard gave up 5 hits and 2 runs over 7 innings the last time he faced the Royals.]

Colorado/Arizona Under 8.5
[- Haren (7-5, 2.19 ERA) has thrown at least seven innings and allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last seven starts, going 4-0 with a 1.73 ERA. Perhaps more impressively, he's struck out 50 and walked six in that stretch.
- Despite a 1-1 record against the Rockies this year, Haren has allowed just one run in 14 innings, striking out 18. Since joining the Diamondbacks before last season, Haren is 4-1 with a 2.41 ERA in six meetings with Colorado.
- Ubaldo Jimenez has been pretty sick this year as well w/ a 2.79 ERA in the hast 11 starts. Furthermore the right-hander has tossed 14 shutout innings in his last two starts against Arizona, including seven in a 3-0 victory on April 7.]

SF Giants +101
[Giants pitching has been shutting out the Astros offense while their bats seem have new life in them 2 nights in a row going 13-0 and 9-0, respectively.. Today we have Randy Johnson on the mound and has been on fire as of late as he is 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA in his last four outings. Johnson is 4-1 with a 3.64 ERA in seven career starts against Houston, and his only lost against them came when faced Oswalt for the first time allowing 3 runs in 7 innings in a 3-0 loss to Houston (while he was playing for Arizona)]

NYM +101
[One of the rare times you get Johan Santana as a dog. Although he has been struggling a bit lately, Santana has NEVER lost to the Phillies. He has has won three straight starts against the Phillies, posting a 2.95 ERA during that stretch. He's 4-0 with a 2.95 ERA in eight career starts against them. The Phillies have Blanton on the mound who's not too shabby to be honest as he is 1-0 with a 2.14 ERA in three career starts against the Mets. However Blaton is 1-2 with a 6.05 ERA in seven starts at home. So hopefully the Mets can get some runs scored early in the game.]

Seattle M's +240
[After losing 2 heavy fav days in a row w/ Boston. I gotta jump on this FAT ML price for the Mariners who have proved they can swing just as well as the Bosox at Fenway. While Lester is pitching pretty ridiculous right now, he did have a slow start to the season which includes a loss in Seattle on May 15 when he allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings of the 5-4 defeat, with Ichiro Suzuki homering twice against him. As far as Seattle's Brandon Morrow goes... not sure how he's going to fare today as he's never started against the Red Sox before, HOWEVER he's thrown 4 hitless innings of relief agains them last year.. Now I just need him to tie those 4 innings hitless innings together and we might have a chance at cashing this big dog in.]

Well there you have it folks, not gonna stretch myself out any further right now as this a lot of plays already IMO. So let's see how things go today and best of luck to all you degenerate gamblers <><>:drink:

4-5 as the Dodgers over cashes in as well...

Threw some on the Phoenix Mercury +7 as well as a 2-unit play on Tampa Bay.. Although both pitchers are pretty solid, I think Garza and the bats get it done tonight.. Please God let me clear a winning Sunday.
