Jeter 7-22, .318
Matsui 5-15, .333 2 HRs
Damon 6-21, .286 2 HRs
Combined NYY starting lineup is batting 31/122 (.254) against Sonnanstine.

Crawford 15-44, .341
Longoria 3-19, .158
Gross 3-8, .375

Burnett comes into tonight's game 0-3 with a 7.12 ERA in his last 5 starts. He's 2-0 with a 2.14 ERA against the Rays this season in 3 starts. If anything Burnett is due for a big outing. The NYY pen has Bruney in case the score is close and Albaladejo in case of a blowout.
Today is Sonnanstine's 2nd start after being recalled from AAA. He went 4 innings 3 ER in his first start back against Boston throwing 91 pitches. NYY is a patient team like Boston so they could get him out of the game early. He is 0-1 with a 4.19 ERA in 3 starts this season against NY. I believe it will come down to TB's bullpen which has been shaky lately.

Trends:
SONNANSTINE: TB 20-10 UNDER as an underdog
BURNETT: 15-5 UNDER when working on 5 or 6 days rest

Prediction: NYY -1.5 RL | Under 10 | Score: TB 3 - NYY 6

Keep on posting your thoughts man. Good stuff.

Good Afternoon Gentlemen,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just getting back from a long Holiday Weekend. Looks like there has been a lot of money being won.

Going with Texas over Cleveland. Hunter pitched a few weeks back and shut down the Tribe. I saw Carrasco pitch against Detroit and he gave up 6 runs in 3 innings. Even with Hamilton and Young out, Texas should win this by a few.

PICK: Texas (2 units)
Record: 51-37-2 (+29 units)

Good Luck Guys. Also going with Miami/FSU under 47

Fogster, are you playing the Rangers today on the DBL? Game one looks good to me.

Hey Therbs, I am going with Texas in game one, and going over my other picks now. How have you been? Did you go away on the weekend?


1 unit per game below:
Texas (game #1): Carrasco looked bad in his only start vs Detroit, and I like Hunter even with 2 big bats out
Boston: Buchholz is solid and Boston good at home
Detroit: Porcello has found himself again after slumping mid-summer, Chen was lit up in his last game vs Detroit
Colorado: Marquis has been struggling, but Maloney even more

Sorry guys for the poor write-ups, just real busy the last few weeks as I get into my busy season. I had a great summer with TA, Therbs, Mexi, Karma, Vegas, and now some of the newer guys like Oda, Renagade, ankah4.............it's been a blast, hope we can continue or pick up again next season. Thank you to everyone on this thread..............

[Renagade]

Keep on posting your thoughts man. Good stuff.

Thanks therber2. I posted the info quite late because my internet connection was down for a few hours before gametime. I just wanted to post some of my thoughts for some games I have some knowledge on to help you guys out and to relay other people's thoughts back and forth for making a selection rather than just posting their picks or leans.

I was off on the under because I've seen Sonnanstine pitch good games against the Yankees and poor ones too. He just didn't have the location of his pitches the second time around and started walking too many people which was a disaster for TB.

Anyone get the license plate of the truck that ran me over yesterday?
And what's with the Russian ladies chocking their matches?.. I mean every single one of them just gave it away. Crazy US Open this year!!



Glad everyone else had a productive day and that the thread has picked up speed again. Great folks in here.

Thread power brought on the Cubbies win yesterday - thanks Vegas and MS. I think I'm going with Fog in the 1st game of the day.

[VegasPlayer]

Todays a new day. If we manage our BR's and stick together, we'll be around a long time. Didn't play Texas, but I'm with FH on the other 3. Think Detroit got a small discount with Rodney suspended.

Agree, Vegas. Teamwork never fails. Lets' get them tonight!

I see a few people on the Twins today, while I was liking the Jays. Top of the 1st yesterday killed me, other then that Jays could have won. And I like the Jays again today... how come the Twins pick, boys?

[oda11]

Sup guys! Can you guys give me some inputs for the sides in Twins/Jays game tonight? I am on Twins pretty heavy put would love to hear your opinions.

[MexicanStallion]

Good luck everyone

Hey Oda! I hear ya man. I'm leaning on the Jays. I'm guessing Ricky is not getting any love due to his 2 - 5 over last 7, and usually he is either hot or cold. I'm thinking he has a good game here at home.

[TodaysAction]

Part I
PHI,
FL/METS,
ATL,
CIN/CO,
LAD/AZ,
AZ,

[TodaysAction]

Part II
SF,
BALT/BOS,
DET/KC,

Good evening landers781,

Please don't take this the wrong way, but in here we list units and/or money - this way people will know how you feel about the game(s). Thanks for your co-operation.

[oda11]

TA is there a pitching change for the Giants' game? Game is taken off the board.

[TodaysAction]

Good luck TA!

[$KARMA$]

I think it's really a PK game... the Jays are horrible I know... hmm.. I'd hate to go against the thread so not sure what to do yet. Good luck, no doubt.

[TodaysAction]

Belated welcome to those who have joined us whilst I was away. Thanks for your contributions.
