Oldman's 5* Selections For 8/2/09 - YTD: 85-78-1 (+84.25)

oldmanTED · Aug 1, 2009

Coming off a 3-2 (+5.75) day. Looked like a possible 4-1, but the Cubs blew a 6-0 lead, then scored 2 runs in the top of the 9th to take a 3 run lead but their closer gave up 3 to send it into extra innings where they won 9-8 but didn't cover the RL. Wasn't meant to be. Posting my 3 afternoon selections for today at this time and will cap the two evening games during the day and, as usual, post any additions if warranted.

5* Colorado -1.5 (+110) 5Dimes
5* St. Louis -1.5 (-115) 5Dimes
5* Philadelphia -1.5 (-115) 5Dimes

Good luck everyone!

Thank you. I hope you're right. I'd gladly accept 2 out of 3 everyday. Wouldn't that be nice but not realistic. Best of luck today. Have to toast a man who has more Ted's in his name then me. :toast:

I haven't yet capped the game and will do so during the day. If I feel a play is warranted, I will post it later. That being said, I just seem to be having trouble reading the Dodgers and Braves the last few games. In Game 1 of this series, I had the Braves RL because Schmidt was pitching for the Dodgers and felt he'd have a tough time with the Atlanta left handed line-up. Result: Dodgers 4-0. Then yesterday, I have the Dodgers on the ML as Wolf has been excellent and what happens, the Braves come from behind late and win 4-3. Sometimes there are just teams you can't click with. About a week ago Atlanta was sweet to me but now I can't read them. :think2:

I agree with you. I know Jurgeins is lights out in Atlanta over his last starts (3-0 .75ERA and .88WHIP), but the Dodgers are the best team in baseball and I dont see them losing back to back games.
