CK's Daily Baseball Thread Friday 4/17/09

[sweetjones55]

The Marlins already racked up Lannan once. Lannan has pitched 9 innings and has given up 10 runs already. Why should we expect anything different from Lannan against a red hot Marlins team?

[Jimbo42]

I'm all in........no re-loading.

Teams that get beat at home as a -200 or more fav and are playing the same team again are very strong plays bro...which the Yankees clearly qualify... I would have played exactly as u did with Yanks on runline EXCEPT that Cleveland's bats have been so hot after sucking early... so I laid off... you are probably on the right side brother

[sportsguy04]

Nice little Parlay of :
Mets RL +150
Toronto RL +145
Marlins RL +125

Nice little payout.

1 Unit to win 13 Units.

[chucksmith]

mhhh...ATL line is plus money now...ok so we have injuries for the Braves or is it RLM...hard to tell right now...I still see 60% on ATL but money is coming in for Pit right now... dont know if ck already played it...but plus money is tempting...

btw min is -113 right now...

PP, what is best site to look at for where the lines and money is headed?

[Flyers09]

ok, total for the cubs game first 5 innings....im thinking over 5, anyone dissagree?

[CUAIrish]

Cleveland on the board already, I know its early but I shouldve pulled the trigger.

Flyers - I havent made a decision on that game but I know that the cards have put up something like 10 and 17 on Zambrano the last two times he saw them. I would be weary of taking cubs at a high price. Not trying to sway your opinion, just want you to have some info on it.

[joanapoker]

Atlanta Braves are now +105 (from -118) isn't that bad??

i bet em for first 5, cubs that is......but i cant decide with the total over/under...rookie pithcer might give up a few runs, or might not

Braves ML +111, 2 units
HOU -1.5 +150, 1 unit
Marlins o4.5 -135, 1 unit

My first parlay of the season.....
FL -1.5 +130 & ATL -1.5 +170, 1 unit pays 5.21 units

I'm up a bit this week, so I thought I'd take a chance.

[SmackdownV]

Marlins team over 4.5

The Marlins already racked up Lannan once. Lannan has pitched 9 innings and has given up 10 runs already. Why should we expect anything different from Lannan against a red hot Marlins team?

yeah man i totally agree with you.. i think the fish team total 4.5 is a good play as well.. get it early because i think its gonna jump to 5.

[TheLemonDropKid]

Crap............I guess it's gonna be one of those back and forth games.

I was hoping it would be easy on my current state of fragile nerves.

[SmackdownV]

NYY CASH!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[TheLemonDropKid]

This game is making me go like this...

[cocknocker]

A couple of series plays for this weekend...
Booked:

Detroit +135 for the series
Washington +145 for the series

GL to all

Good call I booked the Nats to win the series as well!

[CUAIrish]

clev lookin like a crumbs play all the way, wish i had hopped on the 1H

[Jimbo42]

Booked:

Baltimore +125
Washington +105

GL

[cocknocker]

btw min is -113 right now...

The Braves have injuries to Chipper and Yunel Escobar. It doesn't matter i would still play them even without the stars

[Jimbo42]

Red Sox will get right at some point on this homestand but they got alot of things going against em in first game back...

[cocknocker]

The Yanks don't have a -200 quality pitcher on their staff. Anytime you see them -200 it's always a good bet to take the + money Crumbs

[SmackdownV]

One hell of a call last night on the Nats CK.

[CUAIrish]

The Yanks don't have a -200 quality pitcher on their staff. Anytime you see them -200 it's always a good bet to take the + money Crumbs

Does any team?

[TheLemonDropKid]

Well that sucks............was looking for a way to free up some bankroll to play your heavy plays heavy..........now it's not looking like I will be able to play them at all.........

Can I cry now?

[cocknocker]

And as I say that Joba the Hut is already chased in the top of the 5th inning. The Yanks will have a lowered line tomorrow when Wang pitches. Carmona is not back to the 2007 version. He allow too many baserunners and has a horrid pickoff move.Girardi would do well to small ball him to death. I think the Yankee lovers will have their day tomorrow. Hell I may just jump in and take them on the runline myself for some chump change tomorrow

[kmarinouofm]

cleveland team total over 3.5 cashes..

[cocknocker]

Does any team?

Yes there are some good starters out there who are worth that price when they are on top of their game. But I would advise against taking that wager anyway because of the vigorish involved. Usually a good number two starter is worth a -150 line. One that comes to mind off the top is Dan Haren as well as . Pitchers like Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling were worth it for sure. But those guys are retired.

And BTW folks, I forgot to mention again that I take the 1st inning runs on Wednesdays and Fridays until the May 1st date.

[Jimbo42]

Yea LDK, that's why I didn't play the Yanks... Cleveland bats just too hot... but having said that, you can still come back on this one bro... and your Cubs are looking good..

[cocknocker]

Damn Lemon Drop. For one thing stop f*cking with the Yankees. They are monetary suicide until they get A-Rod's bat back into the lineup. They need the extra boost to their scoring potential

[cocknocker]

Nats+105 The line went down and now I am playing them. I have already updated the big board

[TheLemonDropKid]
