Might grab Yankees for small play if i see any signs of the line going up. CC can eat up innings which saves the heavy bulllpen. Buchholz in a pressure game likely to struggle may have to go long due to the bullpen usage that doesn't bode well for him.

A's are hot at the plate no doubt. Anderson is dealing and seems to have a good match-up in his favor. Greinke is still getting major respect becauseof his 1st quarter start. Possibly a medium play on Oakland.

Word is Anderson will not be starting Saturday (bumped a day). The new kid will be on the mound.

It looks like the underdogs are coming with some value yet again on the overnight (looks like favorites may be inflated for a while) for those willing to stomach high variance and potential prolong losing streaks.

Some of my favorite dogs for tommorrow:
Reds ~+142 Large
Cubs ~ +135 Large
Mets +140 Large
Min~+181 med/large
Was +200 med
Cle Medium

"smoke and mirrors"

"hopefully i can forget about the last three games i back the Mets"

Damn so many errors.

Dogs I see

CIN +138
TEX +150
FLA +196
MIN +181
NY +137
SEA +138

Locked them all in on Matchbook will be looking to scalp.

Twins +180 small/med
Reds +139 large
Cubs +138 med/large
Mets pending med - looks like i'm going to have to play these losers at this price

O's +180 small to win small/med

Hey buffett whats your thoughts about Marlins +210 and Braves almost at +180?

Minny might be the best dog, check out Pavano's #'s against Detroit and Verlander's #'s against Minny aren't that great.

Marlins +220 now, don't know how you can't play them for small to win small/med at least.

Nats small to win small/med as well. No brainer.

Let me ask you guys a question. Do you think the lines are more legitamate opening or closeing?

Looks like the Marlins now warrant risking a small play, the Braves now warrant risking a small/medium play.

Looks like the overnight dogs we chose to play came down and price and we will beat the close.

If when you say legitimate, you are asking what is more efficient, the answer would be the close.

Buffett would you agree it would make sense to lay off the Rays with what happen eysterday, bullpen use, rally, blown game twice. If not why?
