    Mr. Crumbs Leans for Saturday 5/9/09

    In today's action (no pun intended, T.A.) right off the top there's a false favorite in the Mets/Pirates game. With enormous crumbs there for the taking, I will have to take the team with the better guy on the bump. Since the line movement on the total went i nreverse immediately I willtake a stab at the under as well. Maholm is a great pitcher on a mediocre team.The Mets are also mediocre as evidenced by their record. This is a winable game for the Pirates. i am surprised the crumbs are so high given Maine's horrid record with the big chalk.



    The Red Sox bats are in order right now. Kazmir and Lester are stinking it up this year so far. They get lit up again in this affair. These teams hate each other. This will be a spirited contest. Since I can't call a side, I will roll with the over only.

    The Marlins are just a better team than the Rockies and I have to play them again facing an inferior opponent. It isn't good for the Rockies cause when facing Johnson who's the real deal and one of my favorte under the radar pitchers.


    Pirates+155
    Pirates-1.5 +225 RRL Crumbs Play-O-The-Day
    Pirates/Mets under 9 +100 Maholm is pitching, why not?
    Boston/Tampa over 9.5 -105
    Florida-125 Taking the chalk on this one. Not enough reward for RL (+130) HEAVY

    CK i always play the over in any match up between 2 AL east teams... shit is $$$!!!!

    Also with you on that Brewers Run line The brew Crew is due against dempster he is 5-0 with a 3.00 ERA in six starts against the Brew Crew.

    Like that mets under 9 as well. But i don't see your pirates winning..they are horrid on the road and Maine is 2.25 his last two out.. not good news for a Pirates team that can't seem to find the ball lately..bating .167 on the road . The under is def the play though homie...

    I got rid of the Brewers and replaced them with the Marlins after I spotted a few more advantages in the Florida play. They are just a better team than Colorado and they are a streaky team. I sense that they are about to go on one here in Colorado. Since I think that they will win this series, then I am taking them again today HEAVY as well.

    Angels crush the Royals today, in a big upset. The Royals are still who they are.

    It's all good. I knew what you meant. Is there ever a time when you're not "here" as it seems like every time I log in, you're already accounted for. My quick take for your four listed (above), you're in for a nice day. Keep banging!

    take the cws over tex... cws pitcher john danks is from tex and he embarassed himself against the rangers last week.. he will get it done this time at home and hedge your bet w/ the over... liriano is streaky and his last 2 starts were lights out.. take liriano in a revenge spot against hernandez who the public will be all over as seattle is putting together a losing streak.. fla is great on the road and i likes dem 2.. nl east better than poor nl west team..

    TX (..Danks is horrible...but the over might be a good option too...only 9...nice...still thinking about that one)
    MIL -1
    FLA (I love Johnson...I think I almost bet him every time he pitches)
    LAA (...streak will end)

    Maine still has good stuff, but he has been inconsistent. While I see the value in the RRL, I think the Under is the safer and better bet.

    I really like the Fin's play.

    BOS/TAMPA looks good too.

    So far I like ATL and DET today. I'm telling you guys, Edwin Jackson is the real deal. ATL/PHI over 9.5 looks pretty good too.

    That SFG team total under 4 is at a good price right now. Been laying off that bet for a few days but might jump back on for a ride.


    Edit:

    Upon further review I don't think the SFG under 4 is a great value today. They average over 5 runs a game vs. lefties and Stultz is nothing special. The Dodgers hit lefties well too, don't know how much of that is because of Manny's numbers. I might take a stab at that over 9 for the game.

    scratch that TX game for me I am going with the total over 9 in that one...

    ...also adding DET later on as Carmona is just not the old one right now and Jackson was lights out...lets just hope Det bats wake up today...


    I also would love to go with ATL here today... but Javier was god awful the last time and Blaton actually showed some improvement...hell I just cant...even if I like ATl a bit more today...

    anyway

    GL guys and lets hit that Pit game early on...

    Loving Seattle today fella's. King Felix at +money is just too good to pass up imo. Plus Seattle is 5-1 on the year facing a Lefty as they will be doing today. Take Seattle and the Plus Money to the bank

    ....will they hit? I'm not worried about Felix, but I'm worried about them scoring.

    This one I like. SEA has slightly higher splits vs. LH pitchers. SEA has scored 2 runs in their last 3 games. 4 in their last 4. They are due to break out at least a little bit, and even if they only scratch a couple runs across....like you said with King Felix it's a nice security blanket.

    I'm gonna roll with you. Let's cash this one at plus money.

    Posted this in another thread and I know CK you said above that the Angels win today, but...

    Greinke at -120 is really inviting. I guess people think he's due for a letdown. I don't think so. Can't keep a .40 ERA, but the Royals are a good team coming off a loss with the best pitcher in baseball right now on the mound. At the price I think you've gotta consider it a decent play. I'm going to put 2.5 units on it.

    I figured Mil was due against dempster.. but i guess the numbers are one sided.. Glad to see you are on the fish today.. this was one of my early learns last night... Fish are usually the first team i look at since i am a Miami Boy.

    Hanley is finally starting to get hot.. which is bad news for everyone in the NL.

    But the most staggering factors for me that make this game a big play are
    1.DeLaRosa is 1-3 record with an 11.57 ERA as a starter versus the Marlins.
    2.DeLaRosa gave up 6 runs on Monday AT san diego
    3.Coors FIELD BABY + Marlins Bats = HomeRun Derby TODAY!!!

    My boy FrozenMan was telling me the same thing.. but this is what I came up with Willy
    However I am actually leaning twins in this game and i will tell you why...
    1. Seattle even with 5 looses in a row should be the favorite tonight with their ace out there
    2. Hernandez is just getting over the flu and got rocked by Texas last outing. I think its going to take at least another game before he rights his ship
    3. Lirano is coming off his first win, and also back to back solid outings.. this pitcher is finally catching his stride this season. His last two games have been against very good hitting teams, Detroit & Tampa both of which he pitched very well.
    4. Payback for the earlier matchup this season two pitchers faced off and lariano pitched well and lost
    5. Mariners have been outscored 36 to 9 in the last 5 games.

    just to many factors supporting the twins in my opinion.. in fact i might even play it for half a unit..

    I gotta take the mets vs my favorite team. Maine has been pitching very well the last 2 games and Maholm is nowhere close to as good on the road, the bucs bullpen is horrid and they are starting Vasquez after Bixler had a nice game yesterday.

    Met's on a nice run and pirates on a bad run

    pirates only have 3 major league hitters in their lineup that aren't mired in a huge slump, tough to back them despite their pitching performances

    Damn, it's only the 4th inning, guys. Give it time. The Mets bullpen itsn't so good either. If the Pirates chop the lead in half by the 7th, they will still be in position to get the backdoor win
