TA no disresect i no what all the other symbols mean but not the clouds ??

The early bird sheet (leans for entire card)

Okay guys here it is. Full card leans (subject to change of course):

You all do me a favor and give me that simple thumbs up or thumbs down and remember don't be shy there. This is all just and experiment.

1 Red Sox over White Sox (ready to pay -315??)
2 Pirates over Phillies (great Dog opportunity)
3 Padres over Braves (another great Dog opportunity; you just need to hit one)
4 Rays over Blue Jays (maybe a coin toss to me + -150 too much)
5 Texas over Yankees Good price light on this cause both teams been off a while
Yanks won their big series, and Texas is due. Those boys know how to hit when they want, and the Yanks bullpen is a bit dried up I think. The O/U seems like a coin toss; I'd lean on under for the first half.
6 Mets over Marlins (coin toss) but worth it for the price
7 Royals over Indians one of my favorite plays on the card
8 Brewers over Reds This might be a good parlay with the Red Sox
9 Orioles over Twins this is hit or miss but play it for that juice medium to light.
10 Cubs and Nationals PASS. This is the type of play that I don't want to touch. Cubs are erratic, but hot. Nationals "suck." Inflated price. No idea on thisone
11 Tigers over Angels TA, and FOG I want yay or nay from you two here. As usual other may chime in as well.
12 Astros over Cardinals probably a .5 unit play on this dog
13 Mariners over Athletics pass this one is a tough call
14 Colorado and Dodgers no opinion tough call maaaybe Dodgers?
15 Giants over Diamondbacks

Thanks.

therber2 to hit 150 units at the end of MLB season.

No +500
Yes -650

Wayyy too generous. I'd take the +500 deal.

[therber2]

Way to goooooooooooo TA.........thanks for starting this fine thread, looking forward to the next 100

Chicago vs Boston:

Contreras has a 6+ ERA in his last 3 vs Bucholz ERA of 1.89 in his last 3. Boston coming off a series loss vs their Arch rival NYY. Boston still one of the best home teams in major league baseball. CWS just 2 games over .500, vs 23 games over .500 for Boston.

Better hitters and pitchers on the Beantown team. Boston 11-3 in the last 14 meetings.

PICK: Boston (1 unit) risking 2
Record: 42-27-2 (+28 units)

1 if by land, 2 if by sea, after 2 innings Boston will be up by 3

Good Luck tonight Everyone

DET,

DET,

Great calls today boys.

[oda11]

Wayyy too generous. I'd take the +500 deal.

LOL, I'd love to put 5 units on the Yes.

[AceofSP2107]

Therb i am not a real big fan of lines over -200 but i would love the red sox ....KC of coure i mean they cant win for nothing but tomarrow they come to it ...Laa bats come strong after tonite game ....and to cap it off you have to go with cain for SF there doing well

Oda; way too kind. Do you have any plays for me? I am looking for volume here. Ace thank you for the additional plays. They will be added in to the aug 25 post.

[oda11]

1 Red Sox over White Sox (ready to pay -315??) Not paying that vig... but I think Red Sox will win.
2 Pirates over Phillies (great Dog opportunity)
3 Padres over Braves (another great Dog opportunity; you just need to hit one) Maybe RL.
4 Rays over Blue Jays (maybe a coin toss to me + -150 too much) I think Jays will win.
5 Texas over Yankees Good price light on this cause both teams been off a while Maybe, MAYBE Rangers RL.
Yanks won their big series, and Texas is due. Those boys know how to hit when they want, and the Yanks bullpen is a bit dried up I think. The O/U seems like a coin toss; I'd lean on under for the first half.
6 Mets over Marlins (coin toss) but worth it for the price Just for the price.
7 Royals over Indians one of my favorite plays on the card I think it's toss up so I will take the plus money.
8 Brewers over Reds This might be a good parlay with the Red Sox
9 Orioles over Twins this is hit or miss but play it for that juice medium to light.
10 Cubs and Nationals PASS. This is the type of play that I don't want to touch. Cubs are erratic, but hot. Nationals "suck." Inflated price. No idea on thisone I like Nats RL.
11 Tigers over Angels TA, and FOG I want yay or nay from you two here. As usual other may chime in as well.
12 Astros over Cardinals probably a .5 unit play on this dog
13 Mariners over Athletics pass this one is a tough call Athletics!
14 Colorado and Dodgers no opinion tough call maaaybe Dodgers? Toss up, with public money on Dodgers, I'd rather go with Rockies.
15 Giants over Diamondbacks F*ck Giants, Dbacks all the way.

Thanks.

Just my 2 cents!

[EXhoosier10]

I just can't back the Royals even with Greinke on the mound. The Royals are averaging 2.8 runs in his last 14 games and 2.1 if you take out the 12 run outburst they had few weeks ago. He's also only won 1 time since July 1st and that was when they scored 12 for him.

At +145, I'd have to take Cleveland and their bats.

Also, you said the Cubs were hot... the've won 5 of their last 17. I'm from Chicago and I still can't figure this team out; You just never know when they will show up. Also, the young sparkplug Jake Fox is supposed to be sitting out on Tuesday after his 4-4 day on Sunday. At +220, I think there is a little more value in the Nationals (especially with the Nats +1.5 being a JM play), so I'd lean towards the nasty Nats, but I'm not touching this thing with a 10 foot stick.

[VegasPlayer]

Bad day yesterday. Will update later this morning.

8/24/09

Phi -270 2 Units
Phi -160 RL Unit
Col RL +120 2 Units
Bos -200 1 Unit
Det/LAA U8.5 1 Unit

Bounced back 4-1 +6.2 U + the tiggers. Too bad for SF. Wasted a nice effort by Zito and an extra inning rally. They really need some bats.

[therber2]

Just my 2 cents!

Thanks oda. If you say because of price I am not going to put it in either way. I am just looking for Straight up win or lose opinion. Oh also, if you are on the other side say so like you did. The thumbs down otherwise will just be +0.0

[oda11]

Edited!

[MexicanStallion]

and that breaks the 100 unit mark ladies and gentleman. TA wanna make odds for me hitting 150 by the end?

Notice to the public

If you are not aware, the MLB season is winding down. Your old style of gambling isn't going to be the same.

Be aware of teams/team matchups that involve the boys that lost their chance to go all the way. My opinion off the bat is that it the daily grind wouldn't be as good as waiting for the real games. Terry and Fog can you guys give your two cents on post season betting? How you would be the final games?

[therber2]

Hey TA & Therbs: thanks for the nice words, but that's why I feel at home here. We all support each other, in good times and bad, when we are on opposite sides of picks, rain or shine, thick or thin...........

I LOVE YOU GUYS...........[/quote]

Agreed. Way back when I was always checking this thread for his posts to see what he had. Fog does a great job here.

Side note. There are many great cappers in this thread and forum. I need to work my way their one day.

Good morning MexianStallion,

Yes there are and what makes it so nice is we don't cap games the same way. You will get there, this I know for future fact as that run you had a short while ago showed me what I always thought you had in yourself.

Sorry phils but Pit tonite everone

[TodaysAction]

TA no disresect i no what all the other symbols mean but not the clouds ??

Good morning AceofSP2107,

None taken as it's not one that gets posted very often. Look at posts 1,945 to about 1,952 for what your looking for. Not sure but it should be either page 54 or 56 - if not sorry but it'll get you close to where you can find it.

[TodaysAction]

Ahhhh. Ya beat me. Darn it. Congrats on the greatest no bullshit zone ever

Thank you but without others help the thread would be just a thread. With it remaining bullshit free, we can all read the posts much easier, ask questions/make comments when needed/wanted. Don't know about the "ever" part but everyone in here should realize, and if they don't, there's something special about this thread.

[TodaysAction]

Bounced back 4-1 +6.2 U + the tiggers. Too bad for SF. Wasted a nice effort by Zito and an extra inning rally. They really need some bats.

Solid solid solid evening VegasPlayer, well done.
