MLB Leans~Monday 6/15

[jellobiafra]

I appreciate the advice guys, but I'm gonna bet the Reds tomorrow....for twice as much as I'm going to bet Tampa and probably SFG.

I actually just booked the Reds and the Rays. It's a done deal.

I don't like the under much at all, btw. You've got two guys with a combined WHIP over 3.0 an ERA over 10.5 their past 3 games. Not sure your criteria for capping unders, but those type of numbers don't meet mine.

[Dexter]

Just take the Under 8. I have been playing the reds unders like crazy since the reds have been struggling on offense the past couple of series.

i have a tough time pulling the trigger on an under in that stadium - regardless of who's on the bump

[Jimbo42]

Wait for the Rockies to lose ... then go against them next game... that's the play... Rocks will lose two in a row... wait these streaks out... don't try and figure out when a streak is gonna end... either ride it or wait for it to end... in any matchup with a team on a streak, play the streaking team or lay off . if you like the opposing team...lay off.. teams on streaks have the mojo.. but when they lose once, they lose twice...

Very True, but no one on the Reds right now can hit a HR. Our offense is in shambles!


Oh well.. Best of luck on what ever you choose.

Bingo!

Great advice Jimbo.

[jellobiafra]

JImbo, the Rockies streak ends tomorrow. I already decided it.

Seriously though, Tampa is on a little 5 game heater of their own. De la Rosa is turrible at Coors, and Niemann has been really good lately and on the road. Like I said, I already booked this one and the Reds because I don't think the line is going to get any better for me on those two than what I got them at tonight.

[TheLemonDropKid]

I am so aggrivated... I've moved on...

Focus on your inner Cypress Hill..........

[Jimbo42]

Bingo!

Great advice Jimbo.

Exactly bro... its so hard for people to get their head around that one.... the ONLY person i have seen that is decent at picking when a team may break their streak (and I am not kissing up here) is CK... but its like human nature or something for people to want to pick when a streaking team will break their streak...people were all ov er Milwaukee cause the rockies couldn't possibly sweep the cards AND brewers on the road... then they couldn't possibly sweep the Mariners too..... whenever you think a team can't possibly do something, your money burns...lol

[DeeWizzle]

Focus on your inner Cypress Hill..........

Dr Green Thumb you are being paged

[Jimbo42]

This is not at all towards you Jello... You are solid capper and you are probably right the Rays will prob beat colo... but i will sit it out and play the rays in game 2 if they win

[RoagBettor]

I don't want to say anything, but...

Hey Jumpy, do you think Cleveland can blow a 4 run lead heading into the 8th?

[jellobiafra]

Well I'm not picking them just because of the streak. I like the matchup. And like I said, Tampa is on a 5 game steeak themselves. If these teams were both on 5 game losing streaks I would still be taking the Rays tomorrow, all else being equal. The streak is just something on the peripherial for me, but it does add credence to the play from my point of view.

Bottom line is it's plus money on the better team versus a pitcher who has notoriously struggled in his own park on the mound for COL. I think the Rays light his ass up tomorrow night.

I will be rooting for you bro! like I said I will be against the Rocks as soon as they lose! Go Rays!

[cocknocker]

Tomorrow I like

Florida+157
Toronto+1.5 -120
Pirates+137
Tampa+120

[sportsguy04]

YES ANGELS!!!! 4-0!!!

Got them for 2 units on ML, 2 units on RL.

Also in my Parlay of 4 teams, which is 2 for 2 so far, lets make it 3 for 3 then Spain to cover Wednesday.

[jellobiafra]

Sorry about your CLE play, btw.

Lackey is rolling right now and the Angels are getting to Zito in the 4th. My LSU/LAA parlay is looking nice as of now....

[jellobiafra]

Tomorrow I like

Florida+113
Toronto+185
Pirates+137
Tampa+120

I like that you are on the Rays as well.

I thought about the Pirates too. Looks good. I'm just scared of the Twins at home. I know you ain't scared of shit though so it doesn't surprise me to see you on them.

FLA looked good to, but I have a thing about Wakefield. I just think you never know what you're going to get...and that scares me away from ever playing games with him on the mound. (see above)

[Marvinj]

Im glad i didnt take the under! Highest scoreing game ive ever seen, but then again ive only watched 10 games.

[jellobiafra]

Boom. LAA up 7-0 and it looks like I might get a good long night of sleep tonight.

[Marvinj]

yes! 7-0 angels! Over looking good and my parley!

[Dexter]

yes sir...zito did his part

[JumpoffJoeBeezy]

I like..

Astros +125
Mariners -1.5
Marlins +155

[Jimbo42]

and there ya go the streakbuster himself ck likes tampa...
ck got the end of the Oakland streak dead on as well as a few others... I always pay attention to streaks as i like to play them after the streak is broken...i have noticed ck's ability to beat the streak.. lol

[JumpoffJoeBeezy]

Well that'll do it for me. SF doesn't have the ability to score 1 run let alone 9.

[Dexter]

Tomorrow I like

Florida+113
Toronto+185
Pirates+137
Tampa+120

marlins are getting way more then that.

[jellobiafra]

I'm liking the SFG play tomorrow less and less. I don't think I'm gonna fade the Angels in that one after all.


Shit. Tori Hunter just ran into wall and hurt his wrist I think.

[cocknocker]

Correction made Dexter. My bad. I was looking at another line when I was typing. The Marlins are+157. No way is Volstad a +157 pitcher. Not with that offense backing him up.

[cocknocker]

Angels are just crushing the Giants as prescribed

[RoagBettor]

I would take the Marlins 1H. Wakefield might get pounded but the Sox can score a lot of runs and their bullpen can carry them for the 2H of the game.

[JumpoffJoeBeezy]

Angels are just crushing the Giants as prescribed

Yeah.. I forgot just how bad Zito can suck.

Unfortunately I parlayed the Indians and Angels.. And the Giants and Brewers. Thought the Indians were gonna win.. So I placed the rest of my roll on the Giants.. Smh.

Freakin' RoagBettor. lol.

[cocknocker]

I am gonna play the Blue Birds+1.5 -120. I am getting tremendous value for that play by buying the insurance and banging them that way. The extra vig helps out with the descrepency between the teams in batting. The batting was one of the reasons as to why I am having such a hard time committing large money on this one. The Blue Birds are hitting .343 slugging% over their last 3 games, and the Phillies are doing .450 during that same period. Romero should keep them close throughout the game

[JumpoffJoeBeezy]

Is it possible that the Angels blow a 7 run lead with only 9 outs left?

[oda11]

Whoa, Mr. Jinx, hold it there... lol

[JumpoffJoeBeezy]

Whoa, Mr. Jinx, hold it there... lol

Don't worry its not.

[JumpoffJoeBeezy]

I don't need to ask.. But it is not possible for the Angels to give up two more runs and allow the Giants to tie the game.
