CWS/NYY,

DET,

^--- That may surprise some people here especially after my comment about the game but during the game as announced by the play-by-play guy the Rays shortshop, Bartlett, will miss the game because of a funeral. No matter who it is, it's not a good situation and hope he'll come to terms with it asap.

The other ten will be listed along the way during the Rays/Tigers game. Time for lunch.

I also have DET

I didn't know Barlett was going to miss the game i picked it for other reasons. Well lest cash this

Tampa is probably bump about loosing Kazmir. I don't see them winning today.

Food for Thought:
In Chicago (Wrigley) the wind is expected to be blowing out to right 15-18 mph.
Ryan Dempster has a Broundball/Flyball ratio under 1 each of the past three years. Dempster's ERA is a more than a point and a half higher at home this season (5.01) than on the road.
Bobby Parnell also has a GB/FB ration under one (.93) Parnell's ERA as a starter is 8.82 in 4 starts. Parnell has only allowed 5 HRs this season but 3 of which took place in those 4 starts as opposed to 2 in 54 relief appearances.
With all that wind blowing out at wrigley I'm thinking the over 9.5 might be a good play, or the CHC RL. Soriano and Sheffield are both questionable though and I'd like those HR bats in the lineup. Any thoughts?

IcE,

Make no mistake, that was not the only reason but it caused the equation to spit out a play on DET. In any case, let's do it!

Is anybody good with Probability & Stats? Such as college math?

I just looked at a weather map and it shows the wind blowing more towards 1st base (than right field) coming across from 3rd at 13 mph - grant I don't know how long ago that was taken since it's not posted on the site but know if that was your reason for going over were it me, and it's not and you make your own final choice, I'd rather take my chances with a team or

I only ask because I have an 8 question test and I am awful with math. I figured I would use my sources of SBR and hope somebody is good with math.

MS, it seems to me that this is harder to do than picking a winner in MLB

Good luck.

Glad you to see you on Dodgers also TA! Go Tigers and Dodgers!

TodaysAction · 08-29-09, 02:13 PM

MexicanStallion,

That

triggered some nasty flashbacks for me. I did a cut, copy and paste and will pass them around while we're watching the games this afternoon and tonight. No promises or g'tees but we'll see what turns up.

But I don't see them winning by 2+ (5 of my 7 sets have them winning by 1, the other pair will cover for you - if they get the job done today). See, I told you I was not on any of your selections.

oda11 · 08-29-09, 02:18 PM

But I have them moneyline

oda11 · 08-29-09, 02:19 PM

Oh wow, I accidentally put down Dodgers rl on one of my earlier post, sorry TA.

Then of course I wouldn't mind if they win by 2+, 3+, or 4+.
