One might hit.. not both. Maholm/Lincecum already dueled last week. Timmy's turn to get the W

Since I had 3 units on the Boston RL already, I put 1/2 a unit on this parlay. If Boston crushes, I still have a decent winner. If they lose, then I just have to hope Pittsburgh wins to cash in an even bigger winner.

I've seen these things work out before. Curious doesn't just pull these things out of his ass and post them every day. His points are all valid, and I bet against Lincy when the Giants faced Jurjjens and Atlanta last week and won. Beckett lost in his last outing, too.

But of course it's a long shot. That's why the payout is so good. Curious just identified that this was a long shot that had a chance of hitting.

BTW, I'd be happy to mortgage my wife, but I ain't selling the kids!

Oakland is a completely different team since Holliday left and their pitchers were abused in NY. As much as I would love Oakland to piss on Boston I will be very very pleasantly surprised if they pull it off. Hope you hit it guys..

I wouldn't put the wife, kids and farm on it. But based on value this is definately worth a small play for the huge return

Was Holliday leaving a good thing or a bad thing?

I think it was a bad thing, that lineup is in shambles now from what I saw this weekend in NY. Cabrera is their best hitter right now, Cust has 16 HR's but is in top 5 in K's... Suzuki is decent, Holliday brought a lot to that team, I see them dropping off quick...

A's dropping off ? This team cant afford to drop off too much more..

. Matt Holliday has been on fire with the Cardinals.. to make things even funnier

I meant from a Runs production stand point... I didnt mean from a win/loss record...

I have a parlay with Red Sox and Giants, also added Rangers. pays +200.

The Athletics Pirates parlay is a hedge and I think both those teams can win.

I also have a parlay with the Rattlesnakes and the Scalp Removers because the Scalp Removers are averaging 12 runs a game lately and the Rattlesnakes have been playing pretty good.

And I have a round robin with all four of these big dogs.

Didn't go crazy on it, just as a hedge against a meltdown.
