Thanks. I'm rather new as well with the majority of my posts on this particular thread. I'm enjoying documenting my picks and hope I continue to be successful. I've been documenting things in more detail, with more explanation, reasoning, and overall information at a blog I started. It's nothing special and more for entertainment value to document the season and my ups and downs. Either way, I plan on posting during both the good and bad...even if I happen to go negative.

[DFoster]

Games I like today but will filter out my plays:
COL/CHC over 7
CHC RL
PITT ML
ATL RL
SD ML
CIN RL
CIN/MIL over 9
SF ML
CLE/KC over 9.5
OAK ML
NYY ML
BAL/TEX over 12

[DFoster]

First play of the day:

explanation here

More to come

[DFoster]

2nd play:

PITT -113 ML over Houston --- 2 units
explanation same place as above

[rake922]

Yankees are -103 at matchbook

and Pirates are -104 at matchbook

Yankees are -103 at matchbook

and Pirates are -104 at matchbook

I'm in the long process of getting money into matchbook. I had to get a ******** account and go through that long process. I should be switching to them in the next 3 days or so, given that the ******** account I've heard about works...unfortunately I've been using a terrible book that uses 20 cent lines for most every game...awful. I'd probably be up an additional 2 units if it weren't for the terrible juice. But it was the only book I could get money in to due to USA protecting me from myself.

[rake922]

you could Moneygram funds to 5dimes, then transfer from 5dimes to Matchbook after a 1x rollover

[DFoster]

Added play:

ATL -1.5 RL +110 over FLA --- 2 units

I love Florida this year but I think Andrew Miller gets lit up while D.Lowe stays hot.

[delijaworld]

Hi Bettors

My Today's betting choice is :
Florida Marlins +155
Andrew Miller-L

P.s. good luck

Andrew Miller-L

Not a bad bet considering how good Florida has looked but Miller is incredibly inconsistent, walks an incredible amount of people, was terrible on the road in '08, and dismal last April. His numbers against ATL look decent at first glace but in his one game at Turner Field, he threw 5 innings, gave up 9 hits and somehow only gave up 1 run. On the other side, Lowe hasn't looked good against the Marlins in the past but with the way he's thrown this year, I think he comes out and throws a great game after getting beat last night.

Thanks! I guess a white background would be best here? I need to tinker with that to make it the most eye friendly. Any suggestions?

[blowseq]

for your blog i suggest "Rounders 2"
very friendly for the eyes

Hey foster...new to the forum here and wanted to say you have a very impressive record dude. Anyways, I was just checking out that Padres game, and I was considering taking a stab at them myself. Any particular reason you are on em?

Thanks. I've been posting all of my plays and explanations (most of the time) at my blog before I post them here. I have been trying to keep this thread pretty streamlined overall and keeping all of the reasoning, thoughts, nightly updates, etc at my blog makes it easier for me as well as those on sbrforum who just want to check my picks without the the filler.

[UnDeRDaWg]

Thanks dude..Ill check it out

ATL -1.5 RL +110 over FLA --- 2 units

Hey foster...what do you think about total runs over 4 for padres? Its even money...have to think this is a good prop considering perez's control issues

I like the prop. Perez has been all over the place with his control. He could either come out and shut them down for 7 or give up 7 in the first and I'd lean toward the latter as of now. Not a bad bet at all.

[UnDeRDaWg]

Damnit ...I couldnt get the wager in on time. Hopefully that means its not going to cash..anyways, I went with over the total of 9 considering Perez's control issues and the Mets offense...

[DFoster]

NYY ML -113 over TB --- 3 units - WIN +2.65
SD ML +165 --- 2 units - LOSS -2.00
TEX/BAL 12 Over - 110 --- 1.5 units WIN +1.36
ATL -1.5 RL +110 over FLA --- 2 units LOSS -2.00

Yesterday's total:
2-2, 50%, +.01 units

Went to the Blog as well. I like it. Keep up the work man. I just started a forum "winners circle" on here to keep track of mine for the season and to get some feedback. Check it out and any advice is good advice.

Like your pick on the Marlins dude...Chipper and McCann arent in the lineup..good value I believe. Good luck today!

[DFoster]

Leans:

TOR ML -127
CHC -108
