Oldman's 5* Selections For 8/19/09 - YTD: 112-111-1 (+60.85)

oldmanTED · Aug 19, 2009

Coming off a 1-2 (-5.25) day. Posting one play for the day at this time. The current weather forecast for this game shows heavy thunderstorms starting before game time and through the entire night, so this game may get postponed.

5* Philadelphia -1.5 (+130) 5Dimes

Good luck everyone!

I love ya man, but I'd rather play either Det. w/Verlander or LAA. Just my .02. Sure will be rooting for you & Lee, who I really like BTW.

The weather still shows storms before and after the game, so wait before you make any play. Best of luck.

Always great to hear from you and appreciate your thoughts. It's likely this game gets rained out anyway. Best of luck on either Detroit or the LAA.

Thank you. After two more games with blown leads it was nice to get a lead and keep it. BTW, thanks for watching my back. :toast:

If you have been reading my threads, normally I would make this a RL play, but these teams are coming off back to back 1 run games, so I played a rare ML favorite for me.

Sorry OMT I had this game capped with the Wsox winning. I have a small play on the Wsox. One of us will win. I just think KC on the road and Greinke has cooled off from his great start. Good Luck

pretty harsh retort, but ok

Betsmart · Aug 19, 2009

OMT,
What is your feeling on the 2.5 runline?

Betsmart · Aug 19, 2009

OMT,
Usually I do not get angry when I lose a play,but yesterday losing the Braves/Mets pissed me off. The last few days I played against the Mets they win and when I bet them they lose. I did hear on the radio today that Jerry Manuel wants to play the spoiler roll. He is looking to get payback for the Mets collapse the last 2 years. Especially against Marlins.

My apoplogies. I did not mean for my comment to be harsh. I was just trying to explain why I played the ML on this particular game which is very rare for me to play a ML favorite. Let's hope the Royals come back and win by 2.

No apologies necessary. I stepped out of my norm and it looks like it might cost me in this one. Best of luck.
