Mr. Crumbs Leans for Friday 5/9/09

[SoonerGreg]

For what its worth, I booked the Capitals for 1 Unit. Also booked the Bruins -130 for two units. They are just a much better team. Bruins Swept the season series 4-0. They lost the last two, I think there is no way they drop this one.

[Jimbo42]

Toronto getting 90% of the action and the line is stiff or has even dropped in a few spots.... so far its the public play o the day...

I feel the same way Greg. The Bruins have won 5 out of 7 against Carolina this year, losing the last 2. The last 3-2 victory for Carolina came on a lucky shot too. The Bruins are going to come out with everything they have tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like 4-1 or 4-2 Boston.

I also love Houston Rockets ML as do many in this thread. Derek Fisher is more important to the Laker team than some people are giving him credit for. I like Houston and the Under in a fairly close game.

Not sure about the Orlando game. I think they will win, but I don't want to give up anything more than 3 1/2. I may take them on the ML or buy it down to be safe.

For baseball I like:
Cincy Combo of playing at home and having Cueton and his 1.65 ERA on the mound. And for only around -120? I like it.

Cubs Randy Wolf has been pitching great down in AAA. And BUsh isn't all that great. The Cubs bats have been hot lately, and as a dog I really like them. The Over could be a play here too.

Pitt +155 or so?? Mets pitcher making his 1st start of the season. I like the dog here.

Pitt/Mets Ov 9 1/2 Same as above....Both pitchers have high career ERA's, and both teams can hit the ball.

SF/LA Under 8 Zito and Billingsley have both been pitching great, and minus Manny can't hurt either.

Rays Fading Penny, and Shields is an underrated pitcher imo.

Blue Jays Hot bats lately, and have the better pitcher on the mound.

Tex/CWS Over 11 To put it simply....2 crappy pitchers on the mound, and 2 teams that can score a lot of runs.

Det/Clev Under 8 1/2 Verlander and Lee have both been pitching better as of late. Runs may be hard to come by in this game until the late innings. Maybe the Under in the 1st 5 innings would be an even better play.

NY YANKEES -160 High juice.....But for a reason. Yankees should easily win this one, and ARod coming back will only help that cause.

Good luck everybody

[xmrblueduckyx]

Astros (Rodriguez is one of the best “home” pitchers in the national league)
Royals (Palmer had 18 runs scored for his run support last 2 starts... dont think angels get that many runs here tonight)
Lakers (Kobe will be Kobe)
Bruins ( Canes luck and good bounces end tonight as the better team wins)

all my booked plays for the day.

[cocknocker]

CK,
I found some crumbs you might be interested in. Capitals are +150 tonight @ the Penguins. The Capitals are the #2 seed for a reason and they have the A.O. They did go seven games in 1st round but rallied to win the last three games of that series and have averaged 3.3 goals a contest since then. With that said, the Penguins are really good at home but they go 1-3 against Washington during the regular season. All this being said, I just can't pass up +150 ML crumbs for the Capitals.

Nice Crumbs. I will throw down a couple a hunnid on it. Why not? I don't play much hockey homes, but this one sounds good. I have heard of Ovechkin or whatever his name is. He's supposed to be the shiznit

[Foghorn]

No one is on Pitt as the underdog against a rookie pitcher for the Mets?

That rookie was 0-2 in the minors with a 6.55 ERA in 5 games. Karsten is no gem either, I am leaning to the over 10

[melincrea]

Booked:

MLB
Yankees -1.5 -115 @ Orioles (1 Uint)

NHL
Capitals +150 @ Penguins (1 Unit)
Bruins -130 @ Hurricanes (2 Units)

Cheers You have 3/4 of my plays for today!

[showtime2000]

Surprised to see the board on Washington tonight in pucks and aswell as the public. Pittsburgh has outshot Washington in 3 straight games. Varlamavo has faced plenty shots versus them. This will be a coming out party for Pittsburgh and their offence. They had a small taste of it last game.
The public perception is that Washington had the last game and they won't let this slip away. there's a reason why they put the line at -160 for Pitt tonight.

I won't lay the -160 juice on Pittsburgh tonight but i will play them at -1.5 for +175

Puck play,

Pittsburgh -1.5 +175

[chucksmith]

Reds backers beware, per MLB.com, Votto and Phillips out again. Patchwork lineup.

[showtime2000]

Another puck play,

Carolina +100

Too late to bet it.....but Neise isn't a bad pitcher. He has 3 servicable pitches (usually 2, but 3 on a good day). He should give up about 3 in 5-6 innings.

[laxdjock]

Puck play,

Pittsburgh -1.5 +175

Crap! I missed it again. I was leaning PIT anyway. Eh....just as well I guess, as I hit my limit for the day betting anyway.

[chucksmith]

I see a lot I like tomorrow:

-How in the hell is Phil Hughes a -150 pitcher on the road, give me the O's ML and RRL
-Love Harang as a short fav
-I will bite and lay -131 with Gallardo facing a deflated Cubs team after tonights loss and Ramirez injury
-Maine -175 vs Malholm??? No way, give me the Bucs (I think the Mets are starting a tear so I will parlay this with something else and look to turn something small into something big)

[SlicWilly3]

Love Seattle Saturday.....I can't believe King Felix is +$$$? I'll take those odds any day....Also Seattle facing a Lefty in which they are 5-1 on the yr against..... Liriano is good......But hasn't been the same since coming back from that injury.

Also liking Pitt +155, SF +133, Florida -127, Cincy -105, Detroit +101, and KC -126.....Gotta roll with Greinke till he loses.... The kid has something like a .040 ERA and is 6-0 Can't bet against that....

[danrman]

yep.. kc and over.. cant dig pitt even though maholm is 3-1 lifetime vs nym... mets are streaking

[cocknocker]

Man nice +150 crubs with the Captitols. Now that's the kind of thing I like. You guys give me some more of tha hockey shit tomorrow

[The_Kid]

Thanks for the heavy Florida play, CK.

[jellobiafra]

Awesome night with the bases CK. The Caps lost though bro.

[kmarinouofm]

is it just me or does showtime need to start his own hockey thread ... everyone lets hear it SHOWTIME SHOWTIME SHOWTIME!!!

[laxdjock]

Too late to bet it.....but Neise isn't a bad pitcher. He has 3 servicable pitches (usually 2, but 3 on a good day). He should give up about 3 in 5-6 innings.

If anyone has Q's about the Mets, I follow them from Single A on up. I don't bet much on them, but I know them backwards and forward.

[Dexter]

Dexter, it's 62-38 and counting for the month since 5/1/09. I don't know why you let idiots talk you out of something that I sponsored. If I sponsor something it's money, dog. That's a nice clean 24 units in the positive and no homework involved. All of those fools with excel sheets and theories and tweaks and all of the other bullshit don't know how to make money like I do.

no one talks me out of anything except for myself. i crunched the numbers for the past 5 years at +100 and -120. its not worth the risk at -120.
