Monday: 0-2, -2.2 units. Never liked the card and should have left it alone.

Oakland. ML. (+114). 2 units. if this line doesn't end up close to even money then I don't know what I'm doing. The Rangers are still not hitting their stride despite 2 out of 3 in Seattle. The A's are playing their best baseball of the year and I think they'll get to Oswalt. This line is based solely on perceptions that Texas is just that much better than Oakland even though Oakland is playing better, with a better starter, a hotter starter, a better BP, and at home. if you're the A's, you have to like your chances here. Very impressed with how the A's are hitting early in games and Oswalt has a penchant for getting hit early in games. Colon has pitched well vs. Texas even when they were hitting better than now.
Oakland ML. First 5. One unit.

Boston -1.(-120) 2 units. Not much of a write up, but Humber has been dreadful vs. Boston, and this one is in Fenway, with him coming off the DL, off of some very bad starts, and the White Sox cooling down. They don't hit lefties very well, and other than Lester's NYY game he's been on. The Red Sox have issues, but seem to rejuvenate back in their home park (although they looked pretty good in Tampa). A careful analysis of the White Sox lineup shows too many guys that strike out and too many players that pitchers can prep for effectively. If Konerko wasn't in it, it would be very subpar.

Pitt/ Colorado: over 10(-130). One unit. Paid extra for the 10, and I know it's a square bet to take the over here at Coors, but 2 days ago I won with an under. The total here is only slightly below the game with Hamels and Pomeranz Sunday, with 2 much more likely pitchers that can get hammered. Bedard has not been the same since May and has back spasms and seems to always have some physical malady- and a slight head case too. Not a very likable teammate from what I've heard. His velocity is down a few MPH from last year and now pitches high 80s often with his fastball. He has pitched better in Pittsburgh which is a pitcher's park. Friedrich has also been awful at Coors and hitters are hitting over .300 vs. him. A HR per 7 IP rate. There are a number of hot and good hitters on both of these teams, a likelihood that the pitchers won't hit more than once or twice, and low humidity. McCutcheon is still on fire. The Pirates also showed they could get to the better Rockies relievers last night. One of these teams will explode early.

It was at 10.5 when I bet it down to 10. It must have gone up to 11 after that, then down again???

Boston/ Chisox:over 9.5. One unit. Hate to have 2 different plays on the same game. This one is weather influenced. A 20+ MPH wind blowing to the outfield at Fenway. Neither of these pitchers keep the ball down well enough to avoid some long balls. Both Bps will come in to play for this one unless Lester pitches a masterpiece.

Don't let the %'s fool you.......it's all a "mind" game........JUST DO IT! =)

There's nothing to be fooled by. A game in Colorado with these two highly iffy pitchers is going to get over action period. Just wondering why the line would go from 11 down to 10.5 with obviously more over money.
But like he said he had it at 10.5 and then it must have gone up and them come back down.

Toronto/ NYY- over 5.5 . First 5 IPs. One unit. CC usually gives up early inning runs, and might be a little rusty coming off the DL. Toronto sure is due to break out. Cecil is a fastball lefty who has lost some of his fastball. The Yankees lead the league on HRs vs. LHP. Their lefty hitters hit LHP pitching surprisingly well. (Maybe it's the short porch in right field). Cecil's off speed stuff is marginal and he has been terrible his last 2 out 3 starts. Even when he has a quality start, he doesn't get the whiffs he used to. I would take the Yanks RL, but the juice is high, CC might also get hit hard, and about twice a week Toronto scores a *#^*load of runs in a ball game. Also a decent wind blowing out.

Minnesota: One unit. ML-first 5 IP. The Twins have seen Britton(last year) and hit him very well. In fact, they hit lefties very well period. They are hitting well altogether, and the Orioles got issues there going on a month or more now. Britton, like Deduno, have control issues. Deduno though seems to have a better IP:hit ratio, and has his first start out of the way. The Twins are becoming a competitive team while the O's are fading. Don't like the Orioles defense or their penchant for whiffing.

SD/Houston- over 3 first 5 (-135). Didn't take a full unit on this, but I'll count it in my stats. Probably a Petco mistake- god knows I've made them before. Seems that 2 girls could pitch in Petco and keep the score under 7. Can't resist though. Lyles is dreadful on the road and the Pads are hitting much better 2nd half. They also hit Lyles fairly well. Ohlendorf is truly a desperation starter, like we have NO ONE else, let's see if Ohlie can give us 5. He has been consistently bad for 2-3 years, and has no out pitch. These batters tonight are going to wait for a good pitch and take the walks when they can get them.
