I really like the Dodgers tonight.. I think CY-Kershaw is going to shut down the Cubs.

Strongly recommend the Dodgers tonight.

BeerRemedy · May 2, 2011

I like it

gynecologist · May 2, 2011

Good to know partner.

JoeFalls · May 2, 2011

gyno, i can't win in this thread. if i post a play, i lose it. granted, it is a very small sample.

gynecologist · May 2, 2011

that means youre due

gynecologist · May 2, 2011

Okay tomorrow's game:

Dempster worse pitcher in baseball right now, Bills walking a lot of batters.. Is Demp going to continue pitching horribly or will he wake up from the dead? Cubs have bats, Bills can't afford that walking B.S... I'm thinking about fading dempster again but I don't know..

I love Wed's game.. Stay tuned.

Ride Lester, he is hitting his groove.
Red Sox own the Angels. That is all.

williemcgee · May 3, 2011

I like the Marlins +125 today, I think McClelland may struggle here, he has got away with diminishing strikeout totals but has allowed a lot of baserunners lately and I think Sanchez may be better tonight and at a good price.

SonnySixKill · May 3, 2011

So take the LAD over with Dempster on the mound?

MikeyLo · May 3, 2011

I can't back Demp at all right now, but -150 seems a little steep for Billingsley. I don't know.

Hamilbet · May 3, 2011

california cole on the mound today. the warmer the weather the better he pitches. bumped up a day to cover oswalts spot in the rotation. got a good gut feeling about today. kind of a goodwill i got ur back start. plus u heard it hear first.... raul breaks his slump todaay. high juice but love it. may do rl and phl 1st to score as well.

+1

FYI

Charlie mixed up the line up today. If my memory serves me, the phils usually put up good numbers when he does this. likem even more now.

Last 4 games he's had more walks than strikeouts.. I definitely think the Marlins offer value.

Hello?

Hope this thread isn't dying.

DwayneBowe · May 5, 2011

Like the Rangers tomorrow at first sight vs the Mariners....

PatsFanatic · May 5, 2011

Haven't had a chance to look at the Sox game yet but keep in mind there was a 2.5 hour rain delay last night, then extra innings. Game ended at 2:45 am and they have to play at 1:35 today.

williemcgee · May 5, 2011

I like the Marlins (-136) today, Westbrook has really improved past 2 starts, but he has not be able to get deep into games and this bullpen has been working a lot. Johnson stuff speaks for itself I think the fish have a pretty good edge here.

METFAN · May 5, 2011

YANKS /DET

JETER came out of last nights game with a stiff hip..the way he is playing no loss. of his 26 hits..11 are infield singles and he can barely get the ball out of the infield..Despite having a team full of all stars, only cano is over .270..Arod is in a huge slump leaving runners on and killing rally after rally.. But i think today they get it done. Porcello is just the medicine the Dr ordered

$100"
yanks -111
det tt u 4.5

Girardi is pissed

METS/SAN FRAN

PELFREY vs SANCHEZ..Two pitchers having soso starts.Pelfrey seems healthy after a bout with the flu where he lost 15 pounds
Cool weather in ny , Mets hit lefties well Beltran and reyes are off to great starts (what a surprise..it's their walk year) .Phenom reliever Pedro Beato (no runs in 17 innings) was placed on the DL due to arm tendenitis.

like the first 5 innings total over 3.5 -105 for $100 :smoking:
