I never bet against Kershaw.. Expect a big game from him tomorrow.

gynecologist · May 23, 2011

My thoughts on the games:

Angels look really good, there is a reason why this # is so high... Oakland pitcher:
Josh Outman is making his first big league start since 2009, filling in for one of two injured starters. The lefty has a 4-1 record and 4.78 ERA in eight starts for Triple-A Sacramento, issuing 27 walks in 37 2/3 innings while striking out 30.

Weaver @ home in a night game is usually a very good proposition. Oakland traveled, Angels didn't. Winner.

Utley coming back for Phillies, so I'm expecting an inspired effort out of them. Hamels has been money.
Reds have lost 5 straight and are reeling, they had to travel. Phillies didn't..

White Sox TT over 3.5 might be a solid play.. Flyball pitcher vs the wind tunnel @ Arlington.

Those are my thoughts.

Hamilbet · May 23, 2011

Love the phils tonight.

Alot of energy in the Phillies clubhouse. Utley has been back with the team a couple days now and everyone is looking foward to having him back in the lineup. Worley got brought back up as well. Blanton got put on the DL. And I'm pretty sure Dominic Brown will start tonight. Love this guy. Homegrown, big swing, when he matures...look out.

Bsides the 4 game loss streak, they have only lost back to back games 2 times all year and any multiple game losing streak has been away except a 2 game loss to MIL. (and one of those games went 12 innings)

I'm going with the RL +120 and 1st 5 innings and over TT.

METFAN · May 23, 2011

PHILS , ANGELS, WASH , CLEVE AND TBAY FOR ME..PROBABLY FIRST 5 ONLY EXCEPT FOR TBAY THE PENS ARE SUSPECT

YANKS/TOR..

I had the mets first 5 but that inning killed my under 9.50 play.. I expectt he yanks to start rolling, but it's another rainy day in NYC...Looking at these 2 starters, how can you not go heavy on first 5 over 4.5 -115, these lineups can score, although Toronto really killed me this weekend..

still:$200
YANKS/TOR O 4.5 -115 FIRST 5 ONLY

nojuice9 · May 23, 2011

It's Harmon Killebrew tribute night in the cities. I look for emotions to carry over to he game. Also, Twins have been scoring a few runs lately and the Mariners have not, TWINS WIN!

METFAN · May 23, 2011

I really like under 81 runs tonight..seems aside from the yankee game..some under pitchers or pitchers like hamels who have had great success vs their opponents

PhillyMan · May 23, 2011

Be careful with Phillies tonight. Reds hitting .321 against leftys this year. Utley return a bit overvaluing them tonight.. I like Reds tonight and expect alot of runs from both teams. gl.

gynecologist · May 23, 2011

Do any of you guys bet grand salami's??

those are fun, adding everything up.. When you got an over salami it seems like teams can't stop scoring and when you have an under it seems like nobody is scoring.

I'm going to fuck with the under with my boy metfan, just for fun.

Hamels with a 9 run lead.. should be good lol

BeerRemedy · May 24, 2011

What a bummer about the Dodger game Gyno. I've been fading them with all their injuries and it's been good, but when Clayton's on the mound I ride him. A shallow bullpen killed it tonight.

I'm probably laying off tomorrow bye the way.
The dodgers should win but I just can't put money on it at the moment.

TUESDAY:

I'll go with the Brewers ML (-155). Nats 0-6 vs. LEFTIES this season. Brewers on a 4 game winning streak. Brew Crew 17-6 at HOME!!! 2nd best at home in the majors (#1 Cleveland Indians).

Thanks for the kudos. I swear everytime but 1 (1/2 run loss b/c of a run in the 9th lost the RL) I post in this thread it hits. I might just start putting all my picks in here. LOL. I actually graduated with a guy who I still kind of keep in touch with, who does PR for the Phils. I usually get a good vibe of the clubhouse anytime I talk to him, which I did the other day.

I watch or listen to every Phils game and am a sports radio junkie. Because I so close to Philly and NY I have 5-6 stations to choose from. NERD I know!

Hamilbet · May 24, 2011

I like the Cubbies tonight. I know...Its tough to put money on Dempster but I'm pretty sure I read the Niese (NYM) has a 6.?? ERA against the Cubs. Might do over Cubs TT as well.

As for the Phils today...Will be going with them. Honestly kind of a homer bet but, yesterdays game was a good sign, Worley has been pitching great and its not often you will get the Phills at -110.

Sox are 1-7 in Tuesday games this year. I swear I have bet them probably 4-5 of those times. I play in a hoops league on Tuesday nights and everytime I check my phone during the game I do this ##)##)##)
