Ok boys lots of games, tons of huge juice, a day gm (again with a ton of juice), overall a pretty big card that has to have some creative ways to make some money..had to spend QT with the wife and party with some friends this weekend, feel refreshed and ready to talk some baseball.
here my thoughts on the early game and some other things im thinking about...
phi/u7 parlay...i think the only way to play phils is the same way as gm1 with Hamels vs Luebke, phils and under makes the most sense, think that better than laying the rl. No reason Lee doesnt shut the door and although Harang has had some issues with phils lineup he has been a different pitcher this year, problem is he hasnt pitched in to many bandboxes so that a concern for under, but 4th gm of series everyone gonna wanna get this hot ass gm wrapped up and get the **** out of there. Ump should give a nice k-zone and something like 4-1, 4-2 phils sounds reasonable to me.Of coarse Harang is a fly ball pitcher in a park where that can lead to disaster for the under, gonna trust he gets a nice k-zone and can limit the damage, long as he can give a QS the pen should help keep it under...
really think most these big favs will win, tex, stl, bos, phi. but who trying to lay that juice? trust bos on the rl but it still steep, considering a bos rl/stl parlay as this day screams 2 teamers as long as we can get the right ones mixed together.
Atl/pit u 7 (may even go up a little as over juiced now)...Mcdonald has beter stuff than mot pit pitchers. Huddy is a beast and cant see Buccos doing much against him, atl had to travel home with no day off and could see it taking a while for their bats to get going by which that time Bucs pen should be able to limit much damage. Seems like every time Buccos leave from a homestand their 1st road gm is a under, im sure it a very small sample and may not mean a whole lot but their gm obviously is limiting the other team, and should be able to keep this a low scoring affair. Certainly would like to get a solid ump in this one and def wont bet until i see who it is, just putting some leans out there to get things rolling.
interested in cws and Rox as well. might be tough laying that juice with stinky sox but they are playing well and i wasnt real impressed by the kid Tigers are throwing. Det has hit Buerlhe well but guy has been pitching well and a gm against a kid making his 2nd syart 1st road start is a must win if they wanna be taken serious.
Rox i gotta admit i really like Nicasio's stuff, strange how much better he pitches at home and to make it worse his worst outing at Coors was against these dodgers, call me crazy but i think this kid may enjoy CR just as much as he does pitching at Coors, and he seemed to enjoy getting payback against Bravos so at plus money against another sometimes wild but electric stuff pitcher i really wanna take a shot.
thats what i got so far. lets hear everyone thoughts on these or any other games you like. As always thoughts and comments are appreciated, not working monday so really wanna bang out a solid card.
