With TX getting the win, the night ends down 8.78 units from going 3-6-0.

dvb02 · 07-19-09, 11:06 PM

I need a big drink after that TX game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

curious · 07-20-09, 12:43 AM

Summary

I ended up 16-6-2 +9 units more or less. YTD I am something like 61-31-4.

hufster · 07-20-09, 04:01 PM

STL -1.5 -105 L
DET +130 L
COL -1.5 +135 W

1-2 yesterday, -.65 units.

Today we're rolling with the following :

LAA -120 win 1 unit

One team firing on all cylinders and one team on a 6 game losing skid. .406 vs .368 SLG over the past 5 in favor of the Angels. Neither bullpen has been real hot over the past 5, but the Royals are sitting in dead last in the AL in that category. O'Sullivan has been solid for the Angels. Ponson is making his comeback off the DL. The Royals only won 1 of the 6 games in which Ponson started this year. That includes the fact that Ponson made most of his starts when Kansas City was hot at the beginning of the year.

TEX -109 win 2 unit

Texas has been dominate at home this year and so has Kevin Millwood. The Rangers are 8-2 when Millwood takes the mound at home this season. Boston is coming off of a bit of a disappointing series with the Blue Jays and is making the overnight trip from Toronto to Texas. Smoltz takes the mound for the Sox and has been erratic at best. He has yet to face an offense equivalent to what he'll be facing tonight. Boston is 1-3 with Smoltz on the mound, while facing the likes of WAS, BAL, OAK, and KAN.

CHW -105 risk 1.5 units

The Rays squeeked by the Royals in three straight games. They have not played all that great against subpar teams in their last two series. Floyd has been solid all season, especially at home (1.2 home WHIP). I expect the White Sox to hand them a loss tonight in the series opener.

Here's to a profitable night for all

Record : 27-23-2 +5.66u

Hey TA, good luck on your plays tonight, you too Huffy.........

Arizona at Colorado:

Arizona:
The left-hander Davis is pitching tonight for the D-backs. Although he had a rough outing his last time out...5 runs in 4 innings. He has given up 2, 1, 0, 1 runs in his previous 4 starts, and only given up 3 runs once in all of his starts prior to that. Arizona has scored 1, 4, 1, 1 in their last 4 games and are batting .258 vs lefthanders the past 10. They are 19-23 on the road and are missing 3 players to injuries tonight. 4 of their last 5 have been under with a push.

Colorado:
Colorado has DeLaRosa has a 2.21 ERA in his last 3 games with a WHIP of 1.13. He has given up 2, 3, 1, 2 runs in his last 4 games. The Rockies have been under the last 2 games and they are only batting .205 against lefthanders the last 10.

PICK: Under 5.5 for 5 innings (2 units)
Record: 29-18-1 (+19 units)

Let's start the week out right and win us some

Spaceviews · 07-20-09, 05:11 PM

Something I always tell people, never let one person sway you on or off a game/team/total. I honestly do not have a clue how your parlay played out but hope it cashed for you.

They are definitely trying their hardest to screw it up lol. I have them.

TodaysAction · 07-21-09, 12:15 AM

4-3-0 for games ending the 20th as one was postponed. Thirty-six and a half units lost from those seven. YTD is still fine. Back in the later on once the overnights are lifted. If you've followed this thread, you should know what that means (don't post in here until later, thank you) - if you don't, just chill as they'll be posted with plenty of time for you to fade/follow at your own risk.

BamaBill67 · 07-21-09, 06:47 AM

I have a strong lean to slam a big bet on Mil today. Lots of drama between the 2 teams in Mondays game...big fight, Mil gave up the L, line movement has went from Mil -110 to -130 overnight, and Mil has the better starting pitching today..........can anyone talk me out of it? I usually do good on these drama bets but not 100%

MexicanStallion · 07-21-09, 08:46 AM

Ouch rough day, but you have been strong all season. Continue your success.

Kinda hard to talk you out of it when I think its a good bet

Spaceviews · 07-21-09, 01:15 PM

Your a scholar & a gentleman T.A. so I don't have to tell you that yesterdays loss is water off a ducks *ss.
Minn. & Milw. killed both of my 2 parlays (1 parlay was a 9 teamer

) What can you do but dust yourself off , move on, & ask myself "what did I learn?"......... Probably NOT a good idea to put the same team in 2 separate parlays if I'm not 100% on that specific team. Lets break a leg today guys!!

hufster · 07-21-09, 03:55 PM

Early game :

LAA -133 win 2 units

The Angel's lineup has hit Ponson quite well and Santana has been solid vs. the Royals. The Angels are the better team in this matchup with an advantage on the mound. I will once again point to the fact that the Royals don't win with Ponson on the bump (1-6 when he starts the game this season).

HOU -148 win 1 unit

Wandy is very good at home and vs. the Cards. Little more juice than I like to see, but I'll take it.

xXxBallin21xXx · 07-21-09, 04:03 PM

LAA 1st game Heavy...Santana is due for a win today with a better LA sluggers.
