    Thursday afternoon

    Some interesting numbers and intriguing matchups.

    I'd like to fade the Tigers, because Fister is way overvalued (he's struggled lately) and Mendoza has been halfway decent. They smell blood, though. Might have to consider KC TT over at the very least.

    I'll probably take Milwaukee, given I'm expecting the Reds to rest damn near everyone. Peralta's looked good so far for the Brew Crew, and I'm not sure how deep Latos will go here.

    Pittsburgh might be worth a small flyer. They're reeling, but Dickey's overpriced given the rest of the two teams are pretty much even. In reality, Dickey should probably be about -170 here -- not -200.

    I might like Seattle +190 most, depending on what happens tonight with the rest of this game. Iwakuma has been a very steady starter for the M's, and Haren is Haren.

    I don't see why you couldn't take these four big dogs and go 2-2 minimum with a profit. I probably like Milwaukee and Seattle more than Kc and Pittsburgh, though.

    Angels won. Kind of like the Tigers -- hard to fade their momentum. Might give SEA +1.5 a try. I still love the idea of fading Haren, especially at that price.

    I'm guessing the Reds scab lineup will be announced tomorrow morning and the Brewers will close in the +110-115 range.

    I definitely look for value but the last couple weeks of the season get weird i.e. personal records, teams in must wins, others give up, AAA lineups. True value plays are hard to come by now; we're out of the daily grind phase. Both the Mets and Tigers are overvalued, true enough, but the Tigers have some drive right now as you stated....also last home game. The Mets are playing a team that has essentially quit. I doubt they'll be very disciplined today trying to hit a knuckleball. Dickey going for win 20 on the Mets last home date.

    I won't play that much chalk and I don't like -1 or runlines with home teams (potentially only 8 innings to bat), so I'm parlaying the two. Best of luck.

    In the late games, wash looks good @ -129 except the weather is bad. How about TB against wsox? Peavy is inconsistent.

    Hard to get a read on the White Sox or Peavy. TB's on fire, and Shields is "Big Game James." Something's telling me to steer clear, though.

    Zito's actually been relatively OK lately. Don't see why the under isn't being considered there -- juice might be too high, though.

    I can see the value in the sea lines...and as you stated Haren is Haren. GL to you too.

    Faves 4-0 so far and leading two of the remaining three games.

    Unreal September for laying the juice this season.

    Thanks colts. Shouldn't have gone with the Marlins, though. Just a bunch of losers.

    Giants killed it for you. Weird line there.
