CK's Daily MLB Thread Leans for 4/25/09

[peterpan19]

ok I think I could give Oak a shot here today...they lost the last 3 games at home to TB so you would think TB owns them but today TB faces a left handy who they are 1-5 so far this year...add in that braden looked pretty solid this year and garza struggled a bit as of late ...I think i will take Oak here... not sure yet if for the whole game or only for 5 Innings... not sure if you can trust the A's bullpen ??

Booked:

Florida -1.5 runs +150

GL ya'll!

then again, most people here are just degenerate gamblers and not actual sports fans. lol

Gambling is only a problem when you lose.

[danrman]

nice call showtime.. i had pitt/cal parlay and gonna hedge a little w/ chi... jimbo i think your dead on w/ fla.. chan ho park is one of the worst pitchers in baseball

[thegenix]

I'm loving the MIN picks and am hoping to see them cash.

[laxdjock]

TOR -1½ +215, 1 unit
KC -1½ +175, 1 unit
TEX -1½ +155, 1 unit
MIN -1½ +170, 1 unit
FLA -1½ +156 , 1 unit
LA -1.5 +185, 1 unit

Parlays
FLA -1½ & TOR -1½ +687, 1 unit
MIN -1½ & DET -1½ +602, 1 unit <---I screwed up and submitted the DET pick, I wanted KC. ARG!!!!

I'd LOVE to go .500 and take the + to the bank.

[thegenix]

KC not looking too great right now.

[laxdjock]

Yeah....I guess my "mistake" DET bet may not be so bad.....now I need MIN to score more runs!!

[laxdjock]

Btw, the freaking PHI pitcher hits a HR?!

Come on Fish....I need you to win by 2+!

[Jimbo42]

Booked:

Colorado -1.5 runs +135

[Vonnegut]

Chan Ho Park falling apart right on schedule. Philly doesnt need this guy.
Need the Fish to come through for me tonight.

[thegenix]

Yeah....I guess my "mistake" DET bet may not be so bad.....now I need MIN to score more runs!!

Your mistake might work out really well.

Story of the week: Texas has left 13 men on base through 5 innings.

[showtime2000]

Calgary +140

[Dexter]

sunday-

jordan zimmerman is one of the better pitching prospects in the game, and his arm was completely live in his first start vs the braves. oliver perez is a wild headcase who folds any time men are on base. he has a career era/whip vs the nats of 6.53/1.65 including a couple of rough games last year. nats avoid the sweep.

-nats (ML)

while manny parra is a talented young arm who i expect good things from this year, hes in a funk right now - and the right handed bats of Tejada, Pence, Lee and Berkman is a bad lineup for the lefty to face. i'll never put my money on russ ortiz, so i'm gonna side with the sharps who have already moved this total from 9.5 to 10.

-over astros

as always, give me the ace (harden) at a price to stop the bleeding.

-cubs (ML) (2x)

halladay has a 2.86/1.05 era/whip in his last 3 starts while contreras has an 8.05/1.92. again, i'll take the ace off his teams loss.

-bluejays (RL) (2x)

sidney ponson goes for kc on sunday - he's real bad and has a 7.05/1.96 era/whip in his first 3 starts and has a career 6.62/1.65 vs detroit including a beating last year of 6er in 3ip. gallaraga has been solid to start 2009 and has a 1.96/1.20 in his first 3 starts - 14ip/3er and 2 wins vs the royals in 2008.

-tigers (RL) (2x)

[Dexter]

ughh - 3 runs in the 9th by balt not enough for the over (.5 run)

[laxdjock]

Your mistake might work out really well.

I know......

[laxdjock]

TEX -1½ +155, 1 unit

Freaking back door giveaway!!!!!

&

3 runs in the bottom of the ninth.

Freaking Marlins!



If it wasn't for my "mistake", I'd be tanking for the night.
