Best bet for tomorrw when you have a minute Sir - I'm tailing you. You always hit back hard after a bad stretch. I have total confidence in your ability to cap!!!!

I appreciate the confidence. It has been working out that way lately. As you know it is about long term return. I certainly don't panic on losing streaks. The key is, sound money management, no more than 3% of my bankroll.

Selection

We take a look at an early game on the card with PIT/HOU. The Pirates played well last night, getting a victory with Maholm. The Pirates have a hard time putting back to back wins on the road in a consistent manner. The Contrarian square angel lines up due to Morton's superior pitching numbers and the juicy +150 dog line. We go Contrarian with the RL and the Stros.

Astros -1.5 +130

Selection II

We look at the FLA/SFO game. The argument to take SFO is a strong one with the Giants beating the Marlins in the last two nights. Game #1 against with Cain on the mound was a fluke fest for those of you who watched the game. The squares will have difficulty staying away from the Radowski lights out record. However, Volstad is not my favorite guy, but I guess that's what contrarian is all about.

Marlins +113

[Gnutti]

On the Astros too GL with your other plays

[PAPSMEAR]

What's the strongest of the two selections?

[TheLock]

If you're seriously thinking about betting half your roll, why not take HOU ML instead of the RL

[TheLock]

Hanley is out again

It's Official

The Astros shutout the Pirates in great form. As stated earllier, the Pirates have a hard time in stringing two solid play or wins in a row. Stros take down the pot.

Astros -1.5 +130 (W)

Selection

Tonight we play "the game that can't go Over" on the KC/DET affair. Check out the following:

The square combined ERA is 5.85
KC 35-45 O/U
DET 34-48 O/U
Larger line premium on the Over, thus inviting an under play.
Greinke is predicted to throw 5 perfect games in a row.

Looks like a stone cold under, not for the Contrarians.

Over Royals 8 -110

The Marlins show strong in a shutout against the Gmen. The contrarian indicators were strong and the Marlins get the cheese.

Astros -1.5 +130 (W)
Marlins +113 (W)

I want to give out a shout to the thread followers. I will be attending the Las Vegas Bash on August 21st. I am looking forward to putting faces to the many names that are out there in SBR Land. I believe there will be incredible laughs and stories shared and yes, a few cocktails. I am a gin man, preferably a gin martini up, no vermouth with onions, it's a Gibson for you bartending professionals.

Nice bounce back from yesterday. Volstad showed up.
