HCSkip's 2011 MLB Season Thread

hcskip · May 6, 2011

I am currently working in Geneva, and my access to information isn't QUITE as good as in the States, but I have the added advantage of a bit more time after work to check my numbers and get a few plays in.

Sorry to start late, but all considered, the beginning of the season has been a bit crazy. I think it's settled down a bit now.

I came in 2nd place in the Tracker Forum last year, but ATLSLIM seems a bit vulnerable so far, so maybe I can nudge my way past Coldweather.

As always, comments/questions/complaints/raves are welcome.

For Friday, May 6, 2011:

Going to start light:

7:05 Braves/Phillies UNDER 7.5 (-125)

BOL!

When I went to sleep last night it was the bottom of the 3rd inning, and Lee had just given up 3 runs. Was a little concerned at how fast he was folding, but woke up to see the Under still intact. Nice start to my season!

7:05 Braves/Phillies UNDER 7.5 (-125) WIN!

Recap: 1-0-0

Record: 1-0-0

Will check games later today.

hcskip · May 7, 2011

Okay - an early play:

Saturday, May 7:

1:10 PM Twins (Duensing) to beat RedSox (+151)

Twins are playing well and can hit; Boston is struggling, and well, can't. I can't resist the +151 odds on this.

May have more later - BOL!

hcskip · May 7, 2011

Red Sox found some bats, messing up my record. Going to try to break even for today:

Adding:

8:05 Yankees (Colon) to beat Rangers (-107)

BOL!

hcskip · May 8, 2011

Disappointing night as Yankees fail to get it done:

Saturday Recap:

1:10 PM Twins (Duensing) to beat RedSox (+151) LOSS
8:05 Yankees (Colon) to beat Rangers (-107) LOSS

Will be looking at more plays shortly.

hcskip · May 8, 2011

Well, I'm waiting for the lines to come up for the Yankee/Rangers game. If the Under holds at 9, I'm going to pick that, and Tampa Bay.

(foot tapping impatiently)

Oh - also have a small play on the Nats (+150) against Florida.

hcskip · May 9, 2011

Well, played the Tampa Bay game a little heavier, so wound up pushing. Drats.

hcskip · May 9, 2011

New week, here we go:

Plays for Monday, May 9:

7:10 Red Sox (Beckett) RL to beat Twins (-110)
Note: I decided to buy this morning when the line was +110, I bought it 30 minutes ago at even money, and now the RL is at -110. Better get this fast.

More in a moment.

hcskip · May 9, 2011

Additional plays for Monday, May 9:

8:10 Athletics (Cahill) to beat Rangers (+110)

My dog picks haven't been stellar so far, but Rangers are vulnerable and Cahill has been hot. If it bothers you, play less money in a parlay with RedSox RL.

Okay, finished looking at the card - kinda light. Taking a few leans based on other posts here, but Red Sox seems to be the play for tonight. BOL!

hcskip · May 10, 2011

Boston's hitting was disappointing last night, scoring only two runs the entire, 11-inning game. So much for the RL.

Tonight is a study in mismatched pitchers, and I'm going to see if this pays off. Heavy juice, I know. I'm looking for parlay ideas to ease the pain:

Plays for Tuesday, May 10:

7:05 Rays (Sonnanstine) to beat Indians (+120)
7:05 Rays/Indians UNDER 8.5 (-120)
7:05 RedSox (Lester) to beat Jays (-160)
7:10 Braves (Hudson) to beat Nats (-210)
8:05 Reds (Bailey) to beat Astros (-130)
8:10 Brewers (Marcum) to beat Padres (-175)
8:10 Tigers (Porcello) to beat Twins (+105)
8:40 Rockies (Hammel)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT] to beat Mets (-170)
10:05 Angels (Pineiro) to beat WhiteSox (-140)
