That PHI FF loss was unreal.

Giants are the devil when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Ya it was rough. Announcers called it; "blanco only in the lineup because of his baserunning," "scutaro will take pitches to steal a base." and then the typical scutaro bloop. Oh well.

Romero is going to completely blow this toronto bet. Guy just doesn't have it anymore; he looks lost

Banish him to the minors. Again.

Detroit finally gets a guy across with a double by Torii and then a Miggy single. 6 baserunners through three innings for the tigers; just wait until summer rolls around and they're -200 every home game. This team has the ability to crush the ball 1-9 every single day.

Torii was a huge get for them. High-energy, positive, good clubhouse leader that they desperately needed.

I have a really weird feeling about this Toronto TT over. They keep dicking around every time they get guys on base.

Six hits, five walks and only two runs?

[EXhoosier10]

Can't figure out why Mark Derosa is still in the league, let alone on the Jays. Isn't that team old enough with the rest of the roster? Bring in some young guy who is just as awful as DeRo and at least bring some life into the clubhouse

He is atrocious. Batting what, .200? Awful. It's amazing to me how much $$$ the Angels and Jays spent, yet how many holes they still have on their roster.

bullpen is coming in. 1 run would have been big there in the 5th, but the TT isn't done; toronto winning probably is

Yeah, but the Jays seem to be ready to roll over and die after all of these deflating rally killers.

[EXhoosier10]

Man that's going to be a tough way to lose this Det FF

What happened? Did Torii throw it away?

[EXhoosier10]

What happened? Did Torii throw it away?

Throw was going to bounce to miggy, give him a good hop, but it hit Laroche's up hand on his slide and bounced away into the stands. Nothing Torii did wrong, just pure chance that it hit him.

Tough loss, I'm on a bad head too, my leans in the last 2 days are 8-1 and haven't had time to crunch numbers. Too busy...It's a marathon as you know.

Any thoughts on ARI/LAD guys?

[EXhoosier10]

Any thoughts on ARI/LAD guys?

No. Somehow skipped looking at that game entirely.

[StevenSuarez]

Gotta be D'Backs or nothing. Dunno how you can have any faith in the Dodgers right now, especially at that kind of price, Kershaw or not.

[italianbandit]

I agree with Steven or Kershaw -.5 -125 FF can be good.

[No coincidences]

You agree with him but you'd play LAD -.5 -125 FF?

I kind of meant the total -- I agree it's D'Bags or nothing given the Dodgers' current form.

[italianbandit]

Looked at some stuff, don't see an angle.

Yes, I orginally could see liking both...Like the last time Kershaw pitched vs the Giants. I liked Kershaw FF, but Giants for the game.

Pissed that i didn't play Cubs FF when it was +125 or better this morning. debating adding it but not crazy about it with Cubs facing a lefty (though i think Detwiler is vulnerable).

On Rats/Mets over. first play that I booked today and thought about making it 2u play, but decided against given Mets' problems with lefties (though they have solid history vs Wandy).

Passed entirely on Phils/Dbacks but looking forward to watching Cloyd pitch. I read some stuff about him today from guys trying to get a handle on that game and was intrigued.

BOL tonight, EXhoosier

[EXhoosier10]

Agreed on the cubs early line. I saw the ML was +135 early this morning; thought there was value there but now i'm not so sure. FWIW, Rizzo has been lights out against LHP this year with 1.08 OPS so far. Sure it's only 50 plate appearances, but if he can be even decent against lefties, that'll be a huge boon to the cubs offense. Starlin, sori and Hairston are all above avg hitters vs lefties and rizzo being decent would make the cubs 1-5 at least someone decent. Bottom of the order will pretty much always suck, but they're not as awful as one would imagine.

Assuming they figure out their bullpen s(h)ituation, they should be able to scrape together 75ish wins. WRT betting, It wouldn't shock me if they finish the season something like .500 in FF situations.

good points, thanks for posting that. just saw that Harper is sitting tonight. i may jump on Cubs FF +115, deciding right now before i head out for the night. BOL to you, pal.

[EXhoosier10]

5/10
Cubs +121 ~ 1u (full game. probably foolish, but +121 ML is better than +110 FF i think. Washington's lineup isn't too prone to BBing, so hopefully Shark can go 7)

BOL. i went FF +110 instead of full game +118, but can certainly see why you went the way you did.
